Why choose a TEMPUR® king size mattress?
A TEMPUR® king size mattress gives you the generous proportions of a king size bed with a choice of TEMPUR® mattress options to compare. The extra width can be useful for couples who want more personal sleeping space, while a king size also works well in larger main bedrooms.
Browse by comfort preference, price and other available filters to make the range easier to compare and find an option that fits your sleep setup.
How to choose the right TEMPUR® king size mattress
Choosing the right TEMPUR® king size mattress comes down to a few practical checks. Think about the space you have, the comfort you prefer and the details that matter most before comparing your options.
Check the size and space
Start by checking that a king size mattress is right for your bed frame and bedroom. A standard UK king size mattress measures 150cm x 200cm, so measure your available space as well as your existing bed before ordering. Remember to leave enough room to move comfortably around the bed and access nearby furniture.
Think about your preferred comfort
Next, think about the feel you prefer. Comfort is personal, particularly when two people share a bed, so compare the available firmness or comfort information carefully. Consider how your current mattress feels and whether you would prefer something softer, firmer or similar.
Firmness | Best suited to | What it feels like | What to choose |
Soft | Lighter and side sleepers | Plush with deeper cushioning | Choose for a softer, body-hugging feel |
Medium | Side and combination sleepers | Cushioned with balanced support | A good all-round choice with noticeable contouring |
Medium firm | Back and combination sleepers | Supportive with gentler contouring | Choose for a balanced, slightly firmer feel |
Firm | Front sleepers and firmer-feel fans | Stable with less sink | Choose for closer support and less cushioning |

Buying guidance for TEMPUR® king size mattresses
TEMPUR® king size mattresses have a distinctive feel, so it is useful to understand how the material, comfort and available technologies differ before you choose. Looking beyond the basic specifications can help you decide whether the close-contouring TEMPUR® feel is right for you and your partner.
What makes TEMPUR® Material different?
TEMPUR® Material shares some characteristics with standard memory foam, but it has its own distinctive construction and response. Developed from technology originally pioneered by NASA, the material uses billions of sensitive cells that adapt to your shape, weight and warmth, helping to distribute pressure as you settle into the mattress.
How does TEMPUR® help reduce partner disturbance?
TEMPUR® Material is also designed to absorb movement. On a king size mattress, this can be particularly useful for couples, as movements such as turning over or getting out of bed are less likely to travel across the sleeping surface and disturb the other person.
Is the TEMPUR® feel right for you?
TEMPUR® has a close, slow-response feel that gently contours around the body. If you prefer a springier mattress or like to feel more on top of the sleeping surface, this distinctive sensation may take some getting used to.
TEMPUR® technology for warmer sleepers
Some TEMPUR® ranges include SmartCool™ Technology within a removable cover. It is designed to feel cool to the touch and absorb excess body heat, which may suit sleepers who prefer a fresher-feeling surface. SmartCool™ is range-specific, so always check the individual product details to see which features are included.
Considering long-term value
TEMPUR® mattresses typically cost more than many entry-level foam or bed-in-a-box alternatives. When comparing value, consider the specialist material, motion absorption, comfort feel and manufacturer guarantee alongside the initial price. This gives you a clearer basis for deciding whether a TEMPUR® King Size mattress suits your priorities and budget.

Ask the expert about TEMPUR® king size mattresses
Choosing a mattress is easier when you know what to compare. Our product experts answer common questions about TEMPUR® king size mattresses, including size, guarantees, suitability, and different comfort feels.
Martin Seeley, Product Expert at MattressNextDay, answers questions about TEMPUR® king size mattresses.
What size is a TEMPUR® king size mattress?
A standard UK king mattress measures 150cm x 200cm, making it a practical choice for couples who want more room than a double.
A Euro king is slightly wider at 160cm x 200cm. That extra 10cm can make a difference when matching your mattress to the bed base, so it is important to check the exact measurements before ordering.
Is a king size TEMPUR® mattress suitable for two people?
King size mattresses are a popular choice for couples because their extra width gives each person more sleeping space than a standard double. When choosing between TEMPUR® king size mattress options, consider both sleepers’ comfort preferences and compare the available firmness information before buying.
Will a TEMPUR® king size mattress fit my bed frame?
If your bed frame is designed for a standard UK king size mattress measuring 150cm x 200cm, it should accommodate a mattress of the same stated dimensions. It is still worth checking the individual product measurements and the internal dimensions of your bed frame before ordering.
What should I check before ordering a TEMPUR® mattress king size?
Check the mattress dimensions, depth, comfort information, price and delivery availability. It is also useful to measure the route into your bedroom, including doorways, stairs and tight corners, so you can plan ahead for delivery.
What comfort feels are available in TEMPUR® mattresses?
TEMPUR® mattresses are available in a range of comfort feels, including Soft, Medium, Medium Firm and Firm, although the exact choices vary by collection and retailer. Softer options offer more cushioning and contouring, while firmer options generally provide a more supportive feel with less sink. Think about what you like or dislike about your current mattress and use that as a starting point when comparing the available options.
Are TEMPUR® mattresses suitable for front sleepers?
That will depend on your body weight, preferred firmness and how much contouring feels comfortable to you. Some lighter front sleepers may prefer a surface that feels easier to move on and offers less sink. Because comfort is personal, compare the available firmness options and individual product details rather than assuming one feel will suit every sleeping position.
How does TEMPUR® help reduce partner disturbance?
TEMPUR® Material is designed to absorb movement across the mattress. This can be particularly useful on a king size bed, where two people have more room to sleep but may still notice each other moving. When one person turns over or gets out of bed, the material can help limit how much of that movement travels across to the other side.
Do TEMPUR® king size mattresses come with a guarantee?
TEMPUR® mattresses sold by MattressNextDay include a 10-year manufacturer guarantee, subject to the relevant terms and conditions. When comparing mattresses at different price points, it can be useful to consider the guarantee alongside the materials, comfort feel and overall service rather than looking at the upfront cost alone.
What is SmartCool™ Technology?
Some TEMPUR® mattresses feature SmartCool™ Technology within a removable cover. It is designed to feel cool to the touch and absorb excess body heat, which may appeal if you prefer a fresher-feeling sleep surface. SmartCool™ is only available on selected ranges, so check the individual product specification to see whether it is included.
Can couples choose different firmness levels?
If you and your partner prefer noticeably different comfort feels, check the available TEMPUR® mattress and bed configurations carefully. Firmness options and compatible setups can vary between ranges, so it is best to review the individual product details rather than assuming every king size mattress can be configured differently on each side.
