Layer Details
Dense cushion layer
A dense cushion layer sits on top of the spring unit and adds comfort to an already extra firm mattress. It takes the edge off the surface without making it feel soft.
2000 pocket spring unit
A unit of 2000 pocket springs that offers plenty of support and an excellent lifespan, according to Mattress Man. It's what keeps the mattress feeling steady underneath you.

Key benefits
- A full 90cm each: Sharing gives each of you 90cm, which means you can turn over or stretch out without nudging the person beside you.
- 15cm more each than a king: Against the UK king's 75cm per sleeper, the UK super king gives 15cm more each, which is enough to notice when a partner fidgets through the night.
- Room for a small visitor: If a child climbs in after a bad dream, a 6ft x 6ft 6in surface lets everyone keep a share rather than someone retreating to the sofa.
- Space for a large dog: Where a big dog sleeps on the bed as routine, the extra 30cm of width over a UK king stops it claiming your half.
- Two sides to share the wear: Being two-sided, with turning handles on the border, means a bed this large can spread the wear across both faces over the years.
- Suits a generous master bedroom: In a period property or a big master bedroom, a UK super king fills the floor in proportion where a smaller bed can look a little lost.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed with a partner who tosses and turns, and distance matters more to you than any comfort layer, or your nights regularly include a child or a large dog, and you both like a flat, extra firm surface underneath you.
Consider another size if...
Your bedroom is smaller than our suggested minimum of 3m x 2.9m, or you want a softer feel. The Legend Ortho 2000 is only made in a UK super king, so there's no smaller size to step down to.

FAQ's
What size bedroom do I need for a super king Legend Ortho 2000?
We suggest at least 3m x 2.9m for a UK super king, with around 3.5m x 3.2m feeling more comfortable once bedside tables are in. In a loft conversion, measure the full-height floor area rather than the whole room, because the sloping ceiling usually decides which wall the bed can go against.
Will a UK super king mattress fit up my stairs and through the bedroom door?
Check before you order. At 180 x 200cm and 30cm deep, it has to get round every landing turn and past the bedroom door as it swings open. Measure the tightest point on the stairs and the door opening, then compare the retailers listed on this page.
Is a super king big enough if my partner is a restless sleeper?
For most couples, yes. A UK super king gives 90cm each, 15cm more per person than a UK king, and that distance does more for a fidgety partner than any comfort layer. Keep in mind the Legend Ortho 2000 is extra firm, so you'll both need to like that feel.
What bedding fits the Legend Ortho 2000 super king?
Super king sheets and a 260 x 220cm duvet fit this size. The mattress is 30cm deep, so check that a fitted sheet's pocket depth covers that before you buy. Bedding for a UK super king costs a little more than for smaller sizes, so factor it in alongside the mattress.
Can children and a dog share a super king extra firm mattress?
There's space: 180cm of width lets a child or a large dog settle in without anyone losing their place. The feel is the bigger question. This mattress is rated extra firm, and lighter sleepers can find that hard on shoulders and hips, so it suits families who already prefer a firm bed.
