- Room to share properly: You each get 75cm, which is 7.5cm more than on a UK double, so there are fewer shared elbows and less waking when your partner rolls over.
- 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 their feet reaching the edge.
- Calmer starts on different schedules: Individually pocketed springs plus the extra width mean the partner leaving at dawn is less likely to wake the one who still has hours left to sleep.
- Suits a typical master bedroom: We suggest allowing at least 2.7m x 2.9m, so many main bedrooms that could never take a UK super king will still fit the UK king.
- The smaller of two sizes: The Imperial is made only in a UK king and a UK super king, so the UK king is the size to choose when floor space sets the limit.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and a UK double has started to feel cramped, or one of you is over six foot and needs the extra length as much as the extra width.
Consider another size if...
You both sprawl, a dog or child regularly joins you, and your room has space to spare. We'd recommend the UK super king instead, which gives 90cm each; allow at least 3m x 2.9m.

Is the Vispring Imperial UK king big enough for two people?
For most couples, yes. The UK king gives 75cm each, which is 7.5cm more per person than a UK double. That sounds small on paper, but it is the difference between brushing against each other all night and having your own side. Combined with the medium firm pocket springs, a restless partner is felt less.
Will a 6ft sleeper fit on a Vispring Imperial UK king?
Yes, comfortably. The UK king is 200cm long, which is 6ft 6in, and 10cm longer than a UK double. If one of you is tall, this length is often a bigger improvement than the width. The UK super king is the same length, so sizing up would add width only.
Will a Vispring Imperial UK king fit in a new build master bedroom?
Often, but measure after the wardrobes and bedside tables are in, because new build rooms tend to shrink once furnished. We suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m for a UK king. If your room falls short, there is no smaller Imperial size, so a different mattress would be the practical answer.
Vispring Imperial UK king or UK super king: which should couples choose?
The UK king is 30cm narrower than the UK super king, giving 15cm less each, but both are the same length. Choose the UK king if your room is closer to 2.7m x 2.9m. The UK super king needs at least 3m x 2.9m and suits couples who want the most space possible.
Can I put a Vispring Imperial UK king on my old double bed frame?
No. The UK king is 15cm wider and 10cm longer than a UK double, so it would overhang a double frame and lose support at the edges. You will need a UK king frame or base measuring 150 x 200cm. Check your bedding too, as a king duvet and king sheets are needed.
