Layer Details
- Bonded upholstery layer. Bonded British fleece wool and cotton, which means the fibres are held together for consistent support and stability. This is the layer closest to you, so you feel its evenness night after night.
- Layered filling. A second layer of British fleece wool and cotton. Wool wicks moisture and regulates temperature naturally, so hot sleepers should find it slightly more forgiving than synthetic fillings.
- Spring system. Hand-nested calico pocket springs in a single layer, with 1,254 springs in the 150 x 200cm size. Each spring works independently, which means less motion transfer to a partner and support that follows your shape.
Layer details from vispring.com product page, September 2026.
- More room each: At 75cm each for two sharing, you get 7.5cm more per person than on the UK double, which means fewer elbows in your back and more space to turn over.
- Extra length: The UK king is 10cm longer than the UK double, so a tall partner can stretch out fully instead of sleeping curled up or diagonally.
- Calmer early starts: Each calico pocket spring moves independently, and the UK king also puts more distance between you, so a partner leaving for a dawn shift should disturb your side less.
- The spec as quoted: The 1,254 spring figure is given for the 150 x 200cm size, which means the UK king is the version that count describes exactly.
- Space for extra pillows: If you're pregnant or recovering from surgery, the UK king leaves room for a wedge or bolster while your partner still keeps a usable half of the bed.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and keep waking each other on a UK double, one of you sets an alarm hours before the other, or a taller partner needs the extra 10cm of length to stretch out.
Consider another size if...
Your bedroom is smaller than our suggested 2.7m x 2.9m, or you sleep alone. We'd recommend the UK double instead, and we suggest a room of at least 2.6m x 2.8m for it.

How much space does each person get on the Vispring Traditional Bedstead UK king?
Two people sharing get 75cm each on the 150 x 200cm UK king. That is 7.5cm more each than the UK double, which gives 67.5cm. The gain looks small on paper, but with springs that respond individually, a restless partner is a little less likely to end up on your side.
Is the UK king Vispring Traditional Bedstead long enough for a tall sleeper?
At 200cm, the UK king is 10cm longer than the UK double and the same length as the UK super king. If one of you is tall, the UK king gives you the extra length you need. Moving up to the UK super king adds width but no more length.
Will my partner getting up early disturb me on a Vispring UK king?
Hand-nested pocket springs move individually, so less movement travels across the mattress than with springs that are joined together. The UK king also gives you 75cm each, which puts more distance between you. You may still feel a heavier partner climbing out slightly, but less than you would on a narrower bed.
Does the 1,254 spring count apply to the Vispring Traditional Bedstead UK king?
Yes. The 1,254 figure is quoted for the 150 x 200cm size, which is the UK king. If you're comparing it with the UK double or UK super king, check the brand's own guidance for those sizes rather than assuming they share the same count.
Should we choose the UK king or UK super king Vispring Traditional Bedstead?
The UK super king gives 90cm each, so the UK king gives you 15cm less each. We suggest at least 3m x 2.9m for the UK super king, against 2.7m x 2.9m for the UK king. In a new build master bedroom with fitted wardrobes, the UK king is often the size that still leaves you space to walk around the bed.
