Welcome to our collection of premium 5ft king size bed uk, handcrafted to order right here in the UK. Indeed, the 5ft (150 cm × 200 cm) king size is the UK’s most popular upgrade bed. It is generous enough for taller adults and restless sleepers. Furthermore, it fits comfortably in the majority of UK master bedrooms. Whether you want a velvet-upholstered statement king or a 5ft ottoman with under-bed storage, our made-to-order service gives you complete control. Consequently, you can specify every dimension, fabric, and storage configuration.
Flat-pack king size beds come in fixed finishes. In contrast, we tailor our bespoke 5ft kings to your exact bedroom and sleep needs. Because we manufacture our own frames, we can customize the height, headboard style, and upholstery fabric to the nearest centimetre. For instance, you might need a low-profile king to fit under a sloping attic ceiling. Alternatively, you could choose a leather-upholstered king with a floor-standing 60 inch statement headboard. Whatever your vision, our custom design flexibility makes personalization simple. Moreover, we glue, screw, and dowel every frame by hand to ensure it stands up to daily family use.
Your 5ft king’s materials define its feel. Therefore, our library covers every popular UK finish:
We offer everything from minimalist wooden frames to storage-rich ottomans:
Q: What are the dimensions of a 5ft king size bed?
A standard UK 5ft king size bed measures 150 cm wide × 200 cm long. In fact, this is approximately 5ft × 6ft6in. Specifically, this is 15 cm wider and 10 cm longer than a standard 4ft6 double bed. However, the overall footprint of the bed will be larger. Typically, it measures 165–215 cm deep and 150–165 cm wide, depending on the frame style. Therefore, always measure your bedroom carefully before ordering.
Q: Is a 5ft king size big enough for two adults?
Yes, a 5ft king size is the UK’s most popular master-suite bed size for two adults. Specifically, each sleeper gets 75 cm of personal width. Indeed, this compares to 67 cm on a 4ft6 double and 90 cm on a 6ft super king. Furthermore, the additional 10 cm of length makes the king size especially comfortable for taller adults. However, for particularly tall or restless couples, a 6ft super king (180 cm × 200 cm) is the next step up.
Q: Can I get a 5ft king size bed with storage?
Yes, we offer our 5ft king size beds with three storage configurations. First, you can choose two-drawer divan bases. Alternatively, we provide four-drawer divan bases. Finally, we offer full ottoman gas-lift bases that lift the entire mattress platform. Consequently, this reveals a single large storage cavity. In fact, ottoman storage is particularly popular for king size beds. After all, the under-bed cavity is generously proportioned and ideal for bulky bedding or suitcases.
Q: Do you deliver and assemble the king size bed for me?
Yes, we offer free delivery across the UK mainland, including Scotland. Moreover, to take the stress out of delivery day, we provide a professional two-person white-glove assembly service. First, our team will carry the components directly into your bedroom of choice. Next, they securely assemble the frame and install the mattress. Then, they attach the headboard and inspect all fixings. Finally, they remove all waste packaging so you can use your king size bed immediately.
At the core of our premium manufacturing service is a simple belief. Specifically, we treat a luxury king size bed as a long-term investment in your rest. Therefore, we construct every bespoke 5ft king using traditional cabinet-making and upholstery techniques. Also, we combine these with modern material science to ensure longevity, comfort, and striking visual appeal.
Furthermore, we engineer our quality framework to prioritise structural integrity. The physical foundation of each 5ft king consists of a solid, kiln-dried hardwood frame. We glue, screw, and dowel it to withstand the rigours of daily family life. Because king size beds endure greater weight and torque than smaller sizes, we reinforce the central rail. Additionally, we add extra centre legs to prevent sagging over time. While mass-market alternatives often rely on chipboard frames that sag within a few years, our premium frames carry an extensive structural guarantee.
Moreover, our customisation capabilities are extensive. Specifically, we do not confine homeowners to pre-determined widths or depths. Instead, we can manufacture your 5ft king to the nearest centimetre. For example, we create custom heights for low-ceiling attic installations or extra-tall headboards for a statement look. Finally, personalise your comfort through a selection of headboard styles, mattress constructions, and storage solutions.
Your upholstery and mattress construction define the sensory experience of your custom-made 5ft king. Therefore, our extensive library of premium fabrics, top-grain leathers, and solid hardwoods satisfies every functional requirement.
For instance, luxurious velvet introduces rich colour depth, tactile warmth, and luxury. Modern synthetic polyester velvet is highly resilient. It features a short, dense pile with no raised or loose weave. Consequently, it resists pet claw snags beautifully. Meanwhile, our performance fabrics represent the ultimate in practical luxury for busy families. Because we utilize advanced treatments, you can blot away everyday spills with water alone. Additionally, a premium leather king makes a timeless investment that ages with grace. It is naturally hypoallergenic, dust-mite resistant, and effortless to wipe clean.
Furthermore, we hand-finish every 5ft king mattress we supply with natural fillings. We layer cotton, wool, silk, or cashmere over a pocket-sprung, foam, or hybrid core. Because a king size has a larger surface area, we recommend a higher pocket count. Specifically, 1500–3000 individual springs prevent roll-together and provide independent support for two sleepers of different weights.
| Material Type | Durability | Primary Benefit | Care Level |
|---|---|---|---|
| Performance Fabric | Extremely High | Spill & stain resistant | Low (wipe with damp cloth) |
| Luxury Velvet | High (dense pile) | Snag-resistant (pet friendly) | Low to Medium (occasional vacuum) |
| Top-Grain Leather | Exceptionally High | Hypoallergenic, wipes clean | Low (conditioner biannually) |
| Solid Hardwood Frame | Decades | Structural integrity | Low (dust and re-oil yearly) |
| 1500-Pocket Sprung Mattress | 10–15 years | Independent support for couples | Rotate seasonally |
| Hybrid Mattress | 10–12 years | Best of springs + foam | Rotate monthly |
Selecting the correct 5ft king size bed configuration is critical. Ultimately, it helps you maintain a comfortable bedroom flow. A 5ft king measures 150 cm × 200 cm. However, the overall footprint, including headboard depth and side rails, will be larger. Therefore, before ordering, verify your room can accommodate the bed plus essential walkway clearance.
First, advanced spatial planning begins with the 60/40 rule of floor space allocation. The total footprint of your 5ft king should occupy no more than 60% of the active floor space. Secondly, leave at least 60 cm of clearance on each side for easy bed-making. Also, maintain a minimum 90 cm clearance at the foot of the bed to preserve an unobstructed walkway. Additionally, keep a minimum 30 cm gap from any active radiator for safety and heating efficiency.
Next, follow our step-by-step measuring protocol. First, identify the wall against which the head of the bed will sit. Then, measure outward from this point along both walls to confirm maximum permissible length and width. Also, consider the swing radius of any bedroom door, wardrobe door, or window. If you opt for an ottoman storage king, verify ceiling clearance for the lifted mattress platform. Typically, it needs 80–100 cm above the base. Finally, map out the footprint using masking tape on the floor to physically test the layout before ordering.
We handcraft a wide variety of beds and mattresses tailored to your exact taste. Therefore, we invite you to explore our matching sub-categories below. Specifically, we build every piece to order in our UK workshop. Furthermore, we deliver them with our complimentary white-glove assembly service.
