Which Is the Best King Size Mattress to Buy?
Here, at Woolroom, we have two king size wool mattress collections: Classic and Artisan.
Our Classic: models provide an affordable entry to the world of wool sleep. Individual pocket springs, micro coils and super soft Wool ID® traceable British wool work together to give you all the support you'll need during the night.
Our Artisan*: range features mattresses hand-crafted by the industry's best. Each is carefully filled with a blend of Wool ID® traceable British wool, cotton, cashmere and silk. Hand-tied pocket springs boost breathability and provide precision contouring, while hand-stitched sides create edge-to-edge support, so there's more space for you to really make yourself comfortable.
*Available in soft, regular and firm tensions.
Sleeping Positions
If you're a side sleeper, you'll want a king size mattress with lots of cushioning. You'll probably find our soft and regular tensions to be the best option - you'll get all the spinal support you need while being able to able to sink slightly into the mattress.
Sleep on your back or front? Your spine and joints will likely experience more pressure as a result, so, our firm tension will suit you best - as it provides increased support.

How Often Should You Rotate a King Mattress?
We recommend you turn and rotate your mattress weekly for the first 12 weeks***. You should then only need to turn and rotate it once every three months.
***Not applicable for Beulah 1000 No-Turn Mattress, or the Rodmarton Pillowtop Mattress.
Can a King Size Mattress Fit On A Double Bed?
No, as king sized mattresses are much wider than double beds. This would leave your mattress hanging over the edge of the bed and potentially risk it tipping when you sit on the edge. If you're looking for a mattress to fit a double bed, don't worry - you'll find all the fantastic options displayed above in our Double Mattresses range.
