- Maximum space for two: At 90cm each for two people sharing, the UK super king gives each of you the width of a single bed to yourself.
- Springs plus separation: Pocket springs already limit how much movement travels across the bed, and the UK super king's extra width keeps a fidgety partner further away in the first place.
- Room for night-time visitors: If children pad in during the small hours, or a large dog treats the bed as its own, 180cm of width means everyone still gets a share.
- 30cm wider than a UK king: The UK super king is 30cm wider than the UK king and the same length, a noticeable difference if you currently wake near the edge.
- Suits a larger master: In a big master bedroom or period property a smaller bed can look lost; this size fills the space properly, provided the room can take it.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and want the most sleeping space a standard UK size offers, your partner moves around and you would rather have distance than rely on springs alone, or children and pets regularly join you and a UK king has started to feel crowded. A generous master bedroom helps: this is a size that needs room to breathe.
Consider another size if...
Your bedroom falls short of the 3m x 2.9m we suggest as a minimum for this size. In that case we'd recommend the UK king instead, which is 30cm narrower, the same length, and needs at least 2.7m x 2.9m.

What size room do I need for a super king Heritage 2000?
We suggest at least 3m x 2.9m for a UK super king, and that is our guidance rather than the manufacturer's. That minimum leaves walking space around the bed but little more, so if you want wardrobes, drawers and bedside tables on both sides, a larger room will feel far less cramped.
Is the Heritage 2000 super king good for couples?
It is a strong pairing. The pocket springs move independently, so less of your partner's tossing and turning reaches your side, and the UK super king adds 90cm each for two people sharing. If one of you is a genuinely restless sleeper, that physical distance often matters more than any comfort layer.
How much bigger is a super king than a king in this mattress?
The UK super king is 30cm wider than the UK king, and the two are the same length. That extra width is the whole difference, but it is a meaningful one for couples, and especially so when children or pets end up in the bed as well.
Will the Heritage 2000 super king fit through my doors and stairs?
At 180 x 200cm this is a large item, and British Bed Company doesn't publish details of how it arrives, so measure your door swing, stair width and any landing turns before ordering. Tight loft conversion stairs are the usual sticking point. If access worries you, ask the retailer before you buy.
What bedding does the Heritage 2000 super king take?
You'll need UK super king fitted sheets to match the 180 x 200cm mattress, and a 260 x 220cm duvet is the usual pairing. Bedding at this size costs slightly more than UK king equivalents and the choice can be a little narrower, so it is a small running cost to factor in.
