Layer Details
- Cover. A fine quality ticking encases the mattress. It is the finishing layer you will feel through your sheet.
- Fillings. British fleece wool sits alongside hand-teased horsetail blended with Devonshire wool. These natural fibres breathe well, which means less heat build-up overnight than you would get from synthetic foams.
- Springs. The king size holds 2,030 vanadium steel, six-turn pocket springs in calico pockets. Each spring moves independently, so you feel support where you need it and less disturbance from a partner's movement.
Layer details from furniturevillage.co.uk product page, September 2026.
- Room to settle apart: You get 75cm each for two people sharing, which is 7.5cm more each than a UK double, so an elbow or a turn is less likely to reach your partner.
- Two feels, one mattress: Split tension is available in the UK king, which means a lighter partner can sleep on a softer side while a heavier partner keeps the firmer support they need.
- More springs across the width: The UK king holds 2,030 pocket springs, each moving on its own, so a restless partner or an early alarm causes less movement on your side.
- Length for taller sleepers: At 200cm, or 6ft 6in, the UK king is 10cm longer than a UK double, which gives anyone around six foot space to stretch without feet hanging off.
- Breathable for two bodies: Wool and horsetail fillings let heat escape rather than trapping it, a real help on a bed shared by two people who each give off warmth all night.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and keep waking when your partner turns over, or one of you gets up for work hours before the other. It also fits well when one of you is over six foot and has been sleeping diagonally on a double to stay on the mattress.
Consider another size if...
Your bedroom is smaller than our suggested 2.7m x 2.9m once the wardrobes are in. We'd recommend the UK double instead, which we suggest for rooms of at least 2.6m x 2.8m.

Can you get split tension on a Vispring Kingsbridge UK king?
Yes. Split tension is offered in the UK king and the UK super king, so each half of the mattress can have its own tension. Couples with a noticeable difference in build are the main reason to consider it. Check which tension options the retailers listed on this page offer before ordering, as the listing shown here is Extra Firm.
How many springs are in the Vispring Kingsbridge king size?
The UK king contains 2,030 vanadium steel pocket springs, each sewn into its own calico pocket. Because they move independently, a partner shifting position is felt far less on your side of the bed, which matters a great deal if one of you comes to bed or leaves it at a very different time.
Is the Vispring Kingsbridge king long enough for someone over 6ft?
The UK king measures 200cm long, which is 6ft 6in. That is 10cm longer than the UK double, and the extra length is often the bigger relief for a tall partner than the extra width. Your feet can sit on the mattress rather than hanging over the end, even with a pillow pushed up against the headboard.
How much room does each person get on a Kingsbridge king?
Two people sharing get 75cm each. The UK double gives 67.5cm each, so the UK king adds 7.5cm per person. That sounds small on paper, but across a night it is often the difference between waking when your partner moves and sleeping through it.
What size bedroom do I need for a Vispring Kingsbridge UK king?
We suggest allowing at least 2.7m x 2.9m, with 3.2m x 3.2m feeling comfortable. A new build master bedroom can seem big enough when empty and then shrink once fitted wardrobes and bedside tables go in, so measure the floor you will actually have left before choosing the UK king.
