Layer Details
- Ticking. A soft, finest-quality ticking covers the mattress. It's the layer you'll actually touch, so the quality here matters more than it sounds.
- Fillings. Layers of luxurious natural fillings include fleece wool, Shetland wool, South American long stranded horsetail and cotton. These materials breathe and wick moisture, which means a drier, more temperature-stable sleeping surface than synthetic fills.
- Springs. 1,720 vanadium steel springs in the 5 foot size, each with six coils, hand-nested within a honeycomb of calico pockets. Because each spring sits in its own pocket, they respond to your body individually, giving contoured support and less motion transfer to a partner.

- 7.5cm more space each than a double: Each of you gets 75cm rather than the 67.5cm a UK double allows, which means a little more room to turn over without meeting an elbow.
- Length for anyone over six foot: At 200cm (6ft 6in), the UK king is 10cm longer than a UK double, so a tall partner's feet are far less likely to hang over the end.
- The full published spring count: Vispring's figure of 1,720 vanadium steel springs is given for the 5 foot size, which is this UK king, so the number you read about is the one you get.
- Less disturbance on different schedules: If one of you is up hours before the other, springs in separate calico pockets respond individually, so getting out of bed sends slightly less movement across.
- Soft comfort across a wider bed: The soft, traditional feel covers the whole 150cm width, which suits two people who both prefer a gentler surface over something firm.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed with a partner and feel cramped on a double, one of you is approaching or over six foot, or you're on different sleep schedules and want a little more distance between you when the alarm goes off early.
Consider another size if...
Your bedroom is smaller than our suggested 2.7m x 2.9m once wardrobes are in. We'd recommend the UK double instead, for which we suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m.

Does the Vispring Regal Superb UK king have the 1,720 spring count?
Yes. Vispring gives the 1,720 figure for the 5 foot size, and the UK king is 5ft wide (150cm), so that is the count you get here. Each spring has six coils and sits in its own calico pocket. Vispring doesn't publish the counts for the other sizes, so check the brand's guidance if you're comparing.
Is a Vispring Regal Superb king long enough if you're over 6ft?
The UK king is 200cm long, or 6ft 6in, which is 10cm more than a UK double. For a partner over six foot, that extra length is often the real reason to upgrade, because it gives room at the foot of the bed without needing to sleep diagonally.
Will I feel my partner moving on the Vispring Regal Superb in a UK king?
You should feel less than on a double. The UK king gives you 75cm each, and because the springs are pocketed individually, movement on one side travels less to the other. It won't isolate motion completely on a soft sprung mattress, but a restless or early-rising partner should disturb you a little less.
Vispring Regal Superb UK king or super king for a couple?
The UK super king gives 90cm each, 15cm more per person than the UK king's 75cm, at the same 200cm length. It needs more 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. If space is tight, the king is the better fit.
What size bedroom do I need for a Vispring Regal Superb UK king?
We suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m, with 3.2m x 3.2m giving comfortable room to walk round both sides. Measure after wardrobes and bedside tables are in place, since many new build master bedrooms feel noticeably smaller once furniture is fitted.
