- 90cm of width each: Two people sharing get 90cm each, which means a partner turning over happens somewhere over there rather than right beside you.
- Pocket springs plus distance: Each spring compresses on its own, and combined with the extra width a restless sleeper becomes genuinely easy to ignore.
- Space when children wander in: At 180cm wide there is room for a small visitor at 3am without either adult ending up on the edge.
- Room for a dog too: If a large dog treats the bed as its own, the UK super king is the size where everyone still gets a fair share.
- The full-length option: At 200cm long it matches the UK king for length, so taller sleepers keep their feet on the mattress rather than off the end.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and want the most sleeping space a standard UK size offers, your partner or your children make the night an unpredictable business, or you have a large master bedroom where a smaller mattress would look lost. A room of at least 3m x 2.9m is the practical starting point, and closer to 3.5m x 3.2m feels comfortable.
Consider another size if...
Your bedroom is smaller than our suggested 3m x 2.9m minimum, or you rarely share the bed. We'd recommend the UK king instead: it's 30cm narrower, the same length, and we suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m for it.

Is the Heritage 3000 UK super king a good choice for couples?
It suits couples well. You get 90cm each for two people sharing, and the pocket springs compress independently, so one person shifting doesn't pull the surface down under the other. If one of you is a genuinely restless sleeper, the extra width does as much good as the springs themselves.
What room size do I need for the Heritage 3000 in a UK super king?
We suggest at least 3m x 2.9m, and around 3.5m x 3.2m feels more comfortable if you want bedside tables on both sides and space to walk around the bed. Measure the door swing and any landing turns too, since a mattress this size is awkward to manoeuvre upstairs.
How much bigger is the UK super king than the UK king?
The UK super king is 30cm wider than the UK king, and the two are the same length at 200cm. That extra width is what makes the difference when children or pets join you in the night, though it does mean stepping up to super king sheets and a 260 x 220cm duvet.
Is a super king Heritage 3000 practical for families?
It's the size we'd point families towards. At 180cm wide there's space for a child who appears at night without anyone being pushed to the edge, and the pocket springs mean small movements don't ripple across to the adults. The same logic applies if a large dog shares the bed as routine.
Will a UK super king mattress get up my stairs?
This is the size where access checks matter most. A 180 x 200cm mattress is heavy and hard to flex around tight landing turns, so measure your stairwell, banister clearance and bedroom door before ordering. If access is genuinely tight, ask British Bed Company about delivery options before you buy.
