Layer Details
- Distance beats any comfort layer: With 90cm each for two people sharing, a fidgety partner is simply further away, which does more for undisturbed sleep than any spring or foam ever could.
- Pocket springs on top of the space: The independent pocket springs limit how far movement travels, so the width and the construction work in the same direction when one of you turns over.
- Room for night-time visitors: A child who appears at 3am, or a dog who treats the bed as routine, fits without pushing either adult to the edge of a 6ft x 6ft 6in surface.
- Breathable where bodies are close: The cotton in the chenille cover helps air move through the sleep surface, useful when two adults plus occasional company raise the temperature under one duvet.
- A soft feel that suits sharing: The supportive but soft feel gives side and back sleepers pressure relief on both halves of the bed, though anyone wanting a firm platform should read the parent page first.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and a UK king still feels like a negotiation over territory, your children or pets regularly join you and you want everyone to keep a fair share, or you have a large master bedroom where a smaller mattress would look lost. Allow at least 3m x 2.9m of floor space, with around 3.5m x 3.2m feeling comfortable.
Consider another size if...
Your bedroom is smaller than the 3m x 2.9m we suggest for the UK super king, or getting a 180cm mattress round your landing looks doubtful. The UK king is 30cm narrower and the same length, and needs at least 2.7m x 2.9m.

Will the Cotton Pocket 1200 super king fit in a 3m by 2.9m bedroom?
Just about. We suggest at least 3m x 2.9m for a UK super king, which leaves walking room but little else. Around 3.5m x 3.2m feels right once you add wardrobes and bedside tables on both sides. Measure the door swing too, because at 180cm wide this mattress claims floor an opening door may want.
Is the Cotton Pocket 1200 super king worth it for a couple with a restless sleeper?
This is where the size earns the extra floor space. The pocket springs already move independently to limit disturbance, and 90cm each for two people sharing adds physical distance on top. If one of you turns constantly or gets up in the night, the combination of the two matters more than any comfort layer.
How much bigger is a super king than a king?
The UK super king is 30cm wider than the UK king, and the two are the same length at 200cm. That 30cm is roughly the difference between sleeping close by default and choosing to. If your room can take it, we suggest at least 3m x 2.9m, the extra width is the whole point of sizing up.
Is this super king big enough for children climbing in at night?
Yes, and it is the most common reason people choose the size. At 6ft x 6ft 6in there is space for a small visitor between two adults without anyone clinging to an edge, and the soft, pressure-relieving feel suits smaller bodies too. A UK double or UK king makes the same arrangement a squeeze.
