These spacious beds offer ample room for a restful sleep, and they come in various filling options to cater to your specific preferences. Read on as we delve into the world of European king-size mattresses, shedding light on their benefits and the different filling choices available.
A Size That Offers Space and Comfort
A European king-size mattress is a generous choice for those who crave extra room to stretch and relax. Measuring 6 feet 6 inches (200cm) in length and 5 feet 3 inches (160cm) in width, this bed size ensures that you have ample space to get cosy, making it perfect for couples or individuals who love to spread out.
Compatibility with Bed Frames
One of the advantages of European king-size mattresses is their compatibility with various bed frames. Whether you have a divan bed, a classic bed frame, or a custom-designed piece, a European king-size mattress can seamlessly fit into your chosen setup.
A Perfect Alternative: European King Size vs. UK King Size
It's worth noting the difference between a European king-size mattress and a UK king-size mattress. While a UK king size mattress measures 5 feet (150cm) in width and 6 feet 6 inches (200cm) in length, a European king size mattress offers slightly more width (10cm), providing additional sleeping space.
Filling Options
When it comes to European king-size mattresses, one size doesn't fit all. These beds come with a variety of filling options, allowing you to customise your sleep experience according to your preferences.
Memory Foam Filling
Personalised Comfort and Weight Distribution. Memory foam is a standout filling choice for those seeking a bed that contours to their body's unique shape. It responds to your body heat, becoming softer where needed and firmer where not. This ensures personalised comfort and even weight distribution, reducing pressure points and promoting restful sleep.
Latex Filling
Extreme Comfort, Durability, and Pressure Relief. Latex filling is favored by those who seek an exceptional sleep experience. It's known for its durability, providing long-lasting support. Latex mattresses also offer excellent pressure relief, making them an ideal choice for individuals with joint or muscle discomfort.
Foam Filling
Motion Absorption for Restless Sleepers. Foam-filled mattresses are renowned for their ability to absorb movement. If you or your partner tend to toss and turn during the night, a foam mattress can help minimise disturbances. This filling choice is perfect for those who value an undisturbed night's sleep.
Natural Fillings
Luxury and Sustainability in One. If you prefer natural materials, European king-size mattresses also come with various natural fillings, each offering unique benefits. Options include natural latex, cotton, mohair, cashmere, bamboo, silk, and wool. These materials provide luxurious comfort and often come with sustainable qualities.
Pocket Springs
Independently Responsive Support. Pocket spring mattresses house individual springs that work independently of each other. This means that each spring reacts to applied pressure independently, contouring to your body's shape. This results in responsive and adaptive support, ensuring a comfortable night's sleep.
