Layer Details
- More room each than a double: You each get 75cm of width, 7.5cm more than a UK double, so an elbow or a turn is less likely to land on your partner.
- Length for taller sleepers: At 200cm long, which is 6ft 6in, a partner over six foot can stretch out without their feet hanging off the end.
- Calmer nights on different schedules: Pocket springs move independently, which means an early riser getting up at dawn should disturb the other person less, and the extra width adds a little more buffer.
- Firm support right to your side: The extra firm tension keeps each of you resting on the surface, so neither sleeper drifts towards the middle of the UK king.
- Fits more bedrooms than the super king: We suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m for the UK king, a more realistic fit than the UK super king in many master bedrooms.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed with a partner and a UK double has started to feel cramped, or one of you is over six foot and the extra length matters as much as the width, and you both prefer a genuinely firm feel.
Consider another size if...
You want the most separation possible from a restless partner or a dog on the bed, and your room has space to spare. We'd recommend the UK super king instead; allow at least 3m x 2.9m.

Is the Vispring Kingsbridge Extra Firm UK king big enough for two people?
For most couples, yes. The UK king gives you 75cm each, which is 7.5cm more each than a UK double. That is enough for two adults to sleep without constant contact, although if one of you sprawls, or a dog regularly joins you, the 90cm each of the UK super king may feel more comfortable.
Vispring Kingsbridge Extra Firm UK king or UK super king: which should I choose?
The two are the same length, so the choice comes down to width and room size. The UK king is 30cm narrower, giving 15cm less each. Pick the UK king if your bedroom is closer to our suggested 2.7m x 2.9m. Pick the UK super king if you can allow at least 3m x 2.9m and want more separation.
Will a UK king mattress suit a partner who is over six foot?
It should. The UK king is 200cm long, or 6ft 6in, which is 10cm longer than a UK double. For a tall sleeper that extra length is often the more noticeable upgrade than the width, because it means feet stay on the mattress and there is room for a pillow above your head.
Will the Vispring Kingsbridge UK king fit in a new build master bedroom?
Measure after the wardrobes and bedside tables are in, because many new build rooms feel smaller once furnished. We suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m for a UK king, with 3.2m x 3.2m being comfortable. If your room falls short of that, bear in mind this model isn't made in a smaller size.
Does a king size bed help if my partner gets up much earlier than me?
It can help. On this mattress the pocket springs respond separately under each of you, so an early start on one side is felt less on the other. The UK king also puts 75cm of width under each person, a little more distance than a UK double, which reduces the chance of being nudged awake.
