Layer Details
- Ticking. The mattress is covered in soft, finest quality ticking. It is the surface you will actually feel through your sheet, so the softness here matters.
- Hand tufting and side-stitching. Hand tufting with felt washers anchors the fillings so they stay evenly distributed rather than migrating. Two rows of hand side-stitching strengthen the edge, giving you usable sleeping space right to the border.
- Springs and pockets. The 5 foot size holds 1,326 vanadium steel springs, each with 6 coils and hand-nested in its own calico pocket, sitting beneath a wool protector pad. Individual pockets mean each spring moves on its own, which reduces the ripple you feel when a partner turns over.
- Borders. The borders are upholstered in wool and fitted with air vents and handles. The vents let the mattress breathe while the handles make turning and repositioning it a little easier.

- More room each: The UK king gives 75cm each for two sharing, which is 7.5cm more per person than a UK double, so elbows and knees meet less often.
- Length for taller sleepers: At 200cm long, the UK king is 10cm longer than a UK double, so feet stay on the mattress rather than hanging over the end.
- Fewer early-morning wake-ups: Each spring sits in its own calico pocket and moves on its own, which means an early riser can slip out with less jolt across the bed.
- Firm edges you can use: Two rows of hand side-stitching firm up the border, so the outer edge of a UK king is usable sleeping space rather than a soft drop.
- Cooler for two: Wool fillings and vented borders let the mattress breathe, a slight help when two bodies share the heat of one bed.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and have started to feel cramped in a UK double, or one of you is around six foot and wants the extra length. It also suits you if your working hours differ and the lighter sleeper wants a little more distance.
Consider another size if...
Your bedroom is smaller than our suggested 2.7m x 2.9m for a UK king. We'd recommend the UK double instead, which needs at least 2.6m x 2.8m.

Is the Vispring Realm UK king long enough for someone over 6ft?
The UK king measures 5ft x 6ft 6in, or 200cm long, which is 10cm longer than a UK double. If one partner is tall, that extra length is often the real reason to size up, even more than the width.
Will I feel my partner moving on a Vispring Realm king size?
Less than on a smaller bed. You each get 75cm, and the springs are individually pocketed so they respond on their own rather than pulling on their neighbours. You may still notice a heavy turn, but the ripple across the mattress is reduced.
Vispring Realm UK king or super king for a couple?
The UK super king gives 90cm each, which is 15cm more per person than the UK king, at the same length. It needs a bigger room, though: we suggest at least 3m x 2.9m for the UK super king, against 2.7m x 2.9m for the UK king.
What room size do I need for a Vispring Realm UK king?
We suggest allowing at least 2.7m x 2.9m, with 3.2m x 3.2m feeling comfortable. New build main bedrooms can shrink quickly once wardrobes go in, so measure with furniture in place before you order.
Is a king size Vispring Realm heavy to turn?
Vispring doesn't publish a weight for this mattress, so check the brand's own guidance before buying. The borders are fitted with handles, which makes repositioning a little easier, but at 150cm wide a UK king is best turned by two people.
