Ticking
The outer cover is made from soft to the touch, finest quality ticking. This is the surface you'll actually feel through your sheets, so the quality here matters more than it might seem.
Fillings
The fillings include British fleece wool and cotton, horsetail and real Shetland wool. Natural fibres like these breathe and wick away moisture, which means a drier, more temperature-stable feel through the night.
Springs
The 5 foot size contains 2,112 vanadium steel springs with a wool protector pad, each spring with 6 coils and hand-nested in its own calico pocket. Individually pocketed springs move independently, so the mattress contours to your shape and limits motion transfer.
Borders
The wool-upholstered borders include air vents and handles. The vents help the natural fillings breathe, and the handles make turning this substantial mattress a little easier.

Key benefits
- More room for each of you: Compared with the UK double you gain 7.5cm each, which means a stray elbow or knee is less likely to end up on your partner's side.
- Length for a tall partner: At 200cm, or 6ft 6in, the UK king is 10cm longer than the UK double, so someone over six foot can lie straight without their feet at the edge.
- Calmer mornings for the late sleeper: The 2,112 springs in this 5 foot size each sit in their own calico pocket, which means a partner getting up before dawn jolts the other side a little less.
- Room for wardrobes too: The UK king is 30cm narrower than the UK super king, so it fits a master bedroom that already holds wardrobes; we suggest allowing at least 2.7m x 2.9m.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and keep waking when your partner turns over or leaves hours before you, or one of you is close to six foot and your feet have started to reach the end of a double.
Consider another size if...
You both sleep spread out, or a dog joins you most nights, and 75cm each would still feel tight. We'd recommend the UK super king instead, which gives 90cm each and needs at least 3m x 2.9m.

FAQ's
Will I feel my partner move on a Vispring Superb UK king?
You should feel less of it than on a double. The UK king gives each of you 75cm, and the 2,112 springs in this 5 foot size are individually pocketed, so they respond to each sleeper independently. A partner shifting position or getting up early moves the springs under them rather than across the whole mattress.
Is the Vispring Superb UK king long enough for someone over 6ft?
The UK king measures 200cm long, which is 6ft 6in, and that is 10cm more than the UK double. For a partner over six foot, the length often matters more than the width, because it lets them lie straight with a pillow at the head end and their feet still on the mattress.
Vispring Superb double or king for a couple?
The UK double gives 67.5cm each for two sharing, while the UK king gives 75cm each, so you gain 7.5cm per person plus 10cm of length. If you share every night and either of you is restless or tall, the UK king is the better choice. The UK double suits couples short on floor space.
Should we get the Vispring Superb in a UK super king instead of a UK king?
The UK super king gives 90cm each, so the UK king gives 15cm less per person, although both are the same length. Choose the UK super king if you both sprawl or share with a dog, and only if your room allows at least 3m x 2.9m. Otherwise the UK king is the easier fit.
Is a UK king Vispring too big for a new build bedroom?
New build master bedrooms often feel smaller once wardrobes and bedside tables are in. For a UK king, we suggest a room of at least 2.7m x 2.9m, and 3.2m x 3.2m is comfortable. The border handles help when you turn this substantial mattress, but you still need clear space along the sides to do it.
