Layer Details
- Ticking. The outer cover is made from soft to the touch, finest quality ticking. It is the surface you will actually feel through your sheet.
- Wool protector pad. A wool protector pad sits beneath the ticking. Wool naturally wicks moisture, which helps keep the sleeping surface fresh.
- Springs. 1326 vanadium steel springs, each with 6 coils, are hand-nested in calico pockets (the count is for the 5 foot size). Because each spring works independently, you get contouring support and less disturbance from a partner moving about.
- Borders. The borders are upholstered in wool and include air vents and handles. The vents let air circulate through the mattress and the handles make turning it easier.

- More room each: With 75cm each for two sharing, the UK king gives you 7.5cm more than the UK double, which means fewer knocked elbows and less creeping towards the edge.
- Less disturbance from early starts: The 1326 calico-pocketed springs quoted for the 5ft size respond individually, so a partner getting up hours before you sends less movement across to your side.
- Length for taller sleepers: At 200cm the UK king is 10cm longer than the UK double, so a partner over six foot can lie straight without their feet reaching the end.
- A soft feel with space to shift: The Soft comfort level lets shoulders and hips sink in, and the extra width means extra pillows during pregnancy won't crowd the person beside you.
- Handles on a large mattress: The wool borders include handles, a real help when turning a traditionally upholstered mattress that measures 5ft x 6ft 6in.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and 67.5cm each on a UK double has started to feel tight, one of you is over six foot and wants the extra length, or you keep different hours and want less movement passing between you.
Consider another size if...
Your bedroom is smaller than our suggested minimum of 2.7m x 2.9m for a UK king. We'd recommend the UK double instead, for which we suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m.

How many springs are in a Vispring Realm UK king?
Vispring quotes 1326 vanadium steel springs for the 5 foot size, and the UK king measures 5ft x 6ft 6in, so that is the figure for this mattress. Other sizes carry a different count, so check the brand's own guidance if you are comparing sizes.
Is the Vispring Realm UK king big enough for two people?
For most couples, yes. You each get 75cm of width, which is 7.5cm more each than on a UK double. If one of you sprawls, or a dog claims its share most nights, the UK super king gives 90cm each, although we suggest at least 3m x 2.9m of room for it.
Will I feel my partner move on a soft pocket sprung king mattress?
Each spring sits in its own calico pocket and responds on its own, so movement on one side is felt less on the other. The UK king also puts a little more distance between you, with 75cm each rather than the 67.5cm each you get on a UK double.
Is the Vispring Realm UK king long enough for someone over 6ft?
At 200cm, the UK king is 10cm longer than a UK double, which gives a partner approaching or just over six foot more room before their feet reach the end. The UK super king is the same length, so sizing up gains you width, not length.
Is a Vispring Realm king size easy to turn and move?
At 5ft x 6ft 6in it is a large, traditionally upholstered mattress, so plan on two people for turning it. The wool borders carry handles, which makes it much easier to grip. Vispring doesn't publish a weight for this size, so check with the brand before carrying it up narrow stairs.
