UK Super King Mattresses
The UK super king (180 x 200cm) is as much bed as most rooms can hold: a full 6ft of width for two people to sleep completely undisturbed.
Why choose a super king?
- At 30cm wider than a king, it's the largest size UK retailers stock as standard.
- With 90cm each, a restless partner becomes much easier to ignore.
- It's the practical choice when children or pets find their way in.
- Its 180cm width matches two 90cm singles side by side, the footprint hotel-style zip-and-link beds are built on.
Allow at least 3m x 2.9m, with around 3.5m x 3.2m feeling right; super king sheets and a 260 x 220cm duvet fit.
