Layer Details
- Fillings. Bonded British fleece wool and cotton, horsehair, then blended British fleece wool and cotton. These natural fillings breathe and manage moisture well, which means a cooler, drier feel through the night than synthetic alternatives.
- Springs. 1476 vanadium steel, six-turn pocket springs in the king size, each sewn into its own calico pocket. Because every spring moves independently, you get pressure relief where you need it and less disturbance from a partner shifting position.
- Cover. Finest quality ticking. A durable woven cover that lets the natural fillings breathe.

- More room each than a UK double: You get 75cm each, which is 7.5cm more per person than the UK double, so elbows and knees stop meeting in the middle.
- Length for taller sleepers: At 200cm, or 6ft 6in, the UK king is 10cm longer than a UK double, which means a partner over six foot can stretch out without feet hanging off the end.
- Less disturbance on different schedules: The pocket springs move independently, and with the extra width of a UK king, an early riser climbing out is less likely to wake the partner still asleep.
- The springs are scaled to this size: The UK king uses 1476 six-turn pocket springs, so the soft, contouring feel carries right across the wider surface rather than thinning out towards the edges.
- Space without super king demands: We suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m for the UK king, a little more achievable than the 3m x 2.9m we suggest for the UK super king.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and keep waking when your partner turns over, one of you is over six foot and runs out of length on a UK double, or you have different alarm times and want a little more distance between you.
Consider another size if...
Your bedroom is smaller than our suggested 2.7m x 2.9m minimum. We'd recommend the UK double instead, for which we suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m.

Is the Vispring Herald Superb UK king long enough if you're over 6ft?
The UK king is 200cm long, or 6ft 6in, which is 10cm longer than the UK double. For most people over six foot that extra length is the real reason to upgrade. The UK super king is the same length, so sizing up beyond the UK king adds width but no more room for your feet.
Will I feel my partner move on a Herald Superb UK king?
Less than on a smaller size. Each spring sits in its own calico pocket and responds on its own, and the UK king gives you 75cm each, 7.5cm more per person than the UK double. A soft mattress does let you sense a little movement, but a partner turning over should feel further away.
What room size do I need for a Vispring Herald Superb in a UK king?
We suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m, with 3.2m x 3.2m giving comfortable space to walk round the bed. New build master bedrooms can feel smaller once fitted wardrobes go in, so measure the floor you actually have left before ordering a 150 x 200cm mattress.
Herald Superb UK king or UK super king: which should couples choose?
The UK super king gives 90cm each, so the UK king gives 15cm less per person. If you sleep fairly still and your room is nearer our 2.7m x 2.9m suggestion, the UK king makes sense. If a dog regularly joins you, or you both sprawl, the UK super king needs at least 3m x 2.9m.
How hard is it to turn a Vispring Herald Superb king size mattress?
This mattress needs turning seasonally, and at 150 x 200cm the UK king is a two-person job. Vispring doesn't publish a weight for this mattress, so check the brand's own guidance. Clear space around the bed first, because the natural fillings add doming on top of the 21cm depth.
