Layer Details
Pocket springs
Six-coil vanadium steel springs, hand nested in calico. Each spring works on its own, so the base supports you where you lie and the mattress responds as you move.
Natural fillings
Layers of natural fillings, including Platinum Certified British fleece wool and cotton. These add cushioning over the springs, and natural fibres tend to feel breathable, though this is a traditional build rather than a cooling one.
Wool protector pad
A wool protector pad sits on top for extra comfort. It gives the surface a soft, natural finish between you and the fillings underneath.

Key benefits
- More room each: At 75cm per person, the UK king gives each of you 7.5cm more than a UK double, which means less drifting towards the middle during the night.
- Calmer early starts: Individually pocketed springs respond locally, so when one of you rises hours before the other, the movement is felt far less on the side still sleeping.
- Length for taller sleepers: The UK king is 10cm longer than a UK double, which means a tall partner can lie straight without their feet reaching the end.
- Space to reposition: During pregnancy and the months after, the extra 15cm of width over a UK double leaves room for support pillows without squeezing your partner.
- Easier to fit than a super king: We suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m for the UK king, against 3m x 2.9m for the UK super king, so a modest main bedroom is more likely to take it.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and keep ending up on the edge of a UK double, one of you gets up much earlier than the other, or a taller partner has outgrown the 190cm length of smaller sizes.
Consider another size if...
Your bedroom is smaller than our suggested 2.7m x 2.9m. We'd recommend the UK double instead, for which we suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m.

FAQ's
Is a UK king Vispring Traditional Pocket Sprung big enough for two adults?
For most couples, yes. The UK king gives you 75cm each, which is 7.5cm more than a UK double. If either of you sleeps starfished or you share with a dog, the UK super king gives 90cm each, so it may suit you better.
Does a UK king reduce partner disturbance compared with a UK double?
It helps in two ways. The pocket springs limit how far movement travels across the surface, and the UK king's extra 15cm of width puts a little more distance between you. That combination is useful if you keep different hours or one of you is a restless sleeper.
Is the Vispring UK king long enough for a tall person?
The UK king measures 5ft x 6ft 6in, or 200cm long, which is 10cm longer than a UK double. That extra length is often the real reason taller couples upgrade. The UK super king is the same length, so sizing up beyond the UK king adds width only.
Vispring Traditional UK king or super king: which should couples choose?
The UK king suits couples who want more space without a large room. The UK super king is 30cm wider and gives 90cm each, 15cm more per person, but we suggest at least 3m x 2.9m for it, compared with 2.7m x 2.9m for the UK king.
Will a Vispring UK king fit in a new build main bedroom?
Measure after the wardrobes are in, because fitted storage takes up more floor than plans suggest. Allow at least 2.7m x 2.9m for the UK king, with 3.2m x 3.2m giving comfortable space to walk round. If you fall short, the UK double needs at least 2.6m x 2.8m.
