Pillow top
A deep pillow top of wool, silk, cashmere and cotton. It gives the mattress its soft, cushioned surface, which suits sleepers who like to sink in a little.
Pocket spring core
5000 individually encased pocket springs, with three rows of hand side-stitching and a reinforced border. The springs support your body, and the stitched border helps the edges hold their shape.

Key benefits
- Distance from a restless partner: With 90cm each, a partner who turns over at 3am is further away from you, and for light sleepers that distance helps more than any extra padding.
- Room for children and pets: When a child pads in after a bad dream or a large dog settles by your feet, the 180cm width means nobody ends up perched on the edge.
- 15cm more each than the UK king: Compared with the UK king, you gain 15cm each at the same 200cm length, so the extra space is entirely sideways and the bed sits no further into the room.
- In proportion in a large bedroom: In a high-ceilinged period bedroom or a generous master, the 6ft width keeps the bed looking settled where a UK king can seem slightly undersized.
- Straightforward bedding: Super king sheets fit and a 260 x 220cm duvet covers it, although the 38cm depth means choosing fitted sheets with deep pockets.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed with a partner who tosses and turns, a child or dog regularly joins you overnight, and your bedroom comfortably clears our suggested minimum of 3m x 2.9m.
Consider another size if...
Your bedroom is under 3m x 2.9m, or a tight landing turn makes 180cm awkward to manoeuvre. We'd recommend the UK king instead, which needs at least 2.7m x 2.9m.

FAQ's
Will a Heritage 5000 UK super king fit up my stairs?
Measure the narrowest point of the stairs, any landing turn and the bedroom door against the 180cm width and 38cm depth before ordering. Landing turns are where most problems happen at this size. If yours is tight, check the measurements carefully, then compare the retailers listed on this page.
What size bedroom do I need for a UK super king Heritage 5000?
We suggest at least 3m x 2.9m, with around 3.5m x 3.2m feeling more comfortable once bedside tables and door swing are allowed for. In a loft conversion, the sloping ceiling usually decides which wall the headboard goes against, so measure the full-height floor area rather than the whole room.
Is a super king big enough for two adults and a child?
A UK super king gives two adults 90cm each, so a small child joining you in the middle has a far better chance of fitting without anyone being pushed to the edge. For a family bed most nights, the 180cm width gives you that slack in a way a narrower size can't.
How much bigger is the Heritage 5000 super king than the king?
The UK super king is 30cm wider than the UK king and exactly the same length, at 200cm. For two people sharing, that works out at 15cm more each: 90cm on the UK super king against 75cm on the UK king.
What bedding fits a Heritage 5000 UK super king mattress?
Super king sheets fit the 180 x 200cm surface, and a 260 x 220cm duvet gives proper coverage. The mattress is 38cm deep, so look for fitted sheets with deep pockets, or the corners can pull loose when the pillow top compresses overnight.
