Layer Details
- British fleece wool and hand-teased Real Shetland wool upholstery. The comfort layers are made exclusively from natural fillings, British fleece wool and hand-teased Real Shetland wool, encased in a wool worsted ticking. Wool regulates temperature naturally, which means the sleep surface stays drier and cooler than synthetic fillings tend to.
- Hand-nested calico pocket spring construction. A one-layer arrangement of hand-nested calico pocket springs, 1,720 of them in the 150 x 200cm size, each hand-crafted from vanadium steel. Because the springs are nested by hand rather than glued in rows, they flex independently, which means better contouring and less motion transfer from a partner.
Layer details from vispring.com product page, September 2026.
- 75cm each for two: Two people sharing get 75cm each, which means room to turn over without an elbow landing on your partner.
- Length for taller sleepers: At 200cm long, the UK king adds 10cm over the UK double, so a partner over six foot can stretch out without their feet reaching the edge.
- Calmer nights on split schedules: The hand-nested springs flex individually, which means that when one of you gets up hours before the other, the sleeper left behind should feel a little less of it.
- The spring count Vispring quotes: Vispring gives its figure of 1,720 springs for the 150 x 200cm size, so the number in the brand's description is the one you get in a UK king.
- Straightforward bedding: A 230 x 220cm king duvet suits the UK king, and at 21cm deep plus around 6cm of doming, standard king sheets are the place to start.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and a UK double has you bumping into each other, one of you is over six foot and wants the extra length as much as the width, or your working hours differ and one partner rises long before the other.
Consider another size if...
Your bedroom is smaller than our suggested minimum of 2.7m x 2.9m for the UK king. We'd recommend the UK double instead, for which we suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m.

Is the Vispring Shetland in a UK king big enough for two people?
For most couples, yes. The UK king gives 75cm each for two sharing, a clear step up from the UK double. If one of you sprawls or a dog joins you most nights, the UK super king gives 90cm each, so the UK king offers 15cm less each by comparison.
Is a Vispring Shetland UK king long enough if you're over 6ft?
The UK king is 200cm long, 10cm longer than the UK double, which gives a tall sleeper noticeably more room at the foot. The UK super king is the same length, so if length is your main reason for upgrading, the UK king already gives you the extra length without needing a wider bed.
How many springs are in a Vispring Shetland king size?
Vispring quotes 1,720 hand-nested calico pocket springs for the 150 x 200cm size, which is the UK king. Each spring is hand-crafted from vanadium steel. Vispring doesn't publish spring counts for the UK double or UK super king on the same basis, so check with the retailer if you're comparing sizes.
Will a UK king Vispring Shetland reduce partner disturbance compared with a double?
It should help in two ways. You each gain 7.5cm of width over the UK double, so there's a little more distance between you, and the springs move independently rather than in glued rows. Light sleepers sharing with an early riser are likely to feel the difference most.
Should I get the Vispring Shetland in a UK king or a UK super king?
Room size usually decides it. For the UK king we suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m, with 3.2m x 3.2m comfortable. The UK super king needs at least 3m x 2.9m. If your room fits the UK super king easily and you want the most personal space, size up; otherwise the UK king suits most couples.
