Layer Details
- Soft damask cover. A soft woven damask cover that promotes breathability, which means heat can escape rather than build up around you. The patterned finish gives it a traditional look.
- 25mm memory foam layer. A 25mm layer of body-moulding memory foam sits above the springs, with small holes that seep out air under pressure. In practice, that means the foam moves with the contours of your body rather than trapping you in one spot.
- 1000 pocket spring unit. 1000 independently moving pocket springs respond to your movement individually. That helps prevent roll-together, so a partner shifting position is less likely to disturb you.
Layer details from mattressman.co.uk product page, September 2026.
- Space that outperforms any comfort layer: With 90cm each, a fidgeting partner is simply further away, which does more for unbroken sleep than any foam ever could.
- Pocket springs at full stretch: The 1000 pocket springs move independently, and across 180cm of width a partner turning over is even less likely to reach you.
- Room for night-time visitors: When a child pads in at 3am, or the dog claims the foot of the bed, everyone still gets a reasonable share.
- Border handles for a big mattress: A super king is an awkward thing to rotate, so the handles on the border genuinely help when it's time to turn it round.
- Memory foam comfort at scale: The 25mm memory foam layer contours to each sleeper separately, so you and your partner each get pressure relief shaped to your own body.
This size suits you if...
You and your partner have outgrown a smaller bed and want the most sleeping space stocked as standard in the UK, one of you is a restless sleeper the other would rather not feel, or children and pets join you often enough that spare centimetres matter. Your bedroom should measure at least 3m x 2.9m, our suggested minimum for a UK super king.
Consider another size if...
Your bedroom falls short of the 3m x 2.9m we suggest, leaving no walking room around the bed. We'd recommend the UK super king's nearest sibling, 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 Memory Pocket Deluxe 1000 in a UK super king good for restless partners?
It's one of the better-suited sizes for the job. The 1000 pocket springs compress individually, so movement doesn't travel far through the mattress, and the UK super king adds 90cm each for two people sharing. Distance plus independent springs is a strong combination; if your partner tosses and turns, this size gives the design its best chance.
How much space do two people get on a super king Memory Pocket Deluxe 1000?
You get 90cm each for two people sharing, across a total width of 180cm and a length of 200cm. For context, the standard UK size chart lists a UK single at 90cm wide, so each of you sleeps on the width of a single. That's why a shared super king feels so much calmer than a shared smaller bed.
Should I buy the Memory Pocket Deluxe 1000 in a UK king or UK super king?
The UK super king is 30cm wider than the UK king, and the two are the same length, so it comes down to width and room size. We suggest at least 3m x 2.9m for the UK super king and at least 2.7m x 2.9m for the UK king. If restless sharing or visiting children are part of your nights, the extra width is the point of this size.
Is a super king Memory Pocket Deluxe 1000 hard to rotate?
It's a two-person job at this size, but a manageable one. The mattress is one-sided, so you never flip it, only rotate it head to toe from time to time, and the border handles give you something proper to grip. Clear the bedside tables first and take it slowly.
Does the super king Memory Pocket Deluxe 1000 suit families sharing the bed?
Yes, this is the size we'd point families towards. At 180cm wide there's realistic room for a small visitor between you without anyone hanging off the edge, and the pocket springs keep a wriggling child's movement fairly contained. The medium tension with a 25mm memory foam top is forgiving for lighter bodies too, though some owners found it softer than expected.
