Key benefits
- 90cm each for two sharing: That is 15cm more each than the UK king, which means a restless partner's turning is far less likely to reach you.
- Room for small visitors: When a child arrives after a bad dream, the extra width gives everyone a better chance of a proper share of the bed.
- Firm support on both sides: It is rated firm with pocket springs underneath, so back and front sleepers on either half get a flat, supportive surface rather than a sunk-in feel.
- Same length as the UK king: At 200cm long, you gain 30cm of width over the UK king without needing any extra length in the room.
- Flippable, with a helper: It is double-sided, so you can turn it over to spread the wear, although at this width turning it is a job for two people.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed with a partner who fidgets, kicks or gets up in the night, or small children and the dog regularly end up in with you, and your room comfortably clears our suggested minimum of 3m x 2.9m.
Consider another size if...
Your room is under 3m x 2.9m, or both of you prefer a softer bed. If room is the issue, we'd recommend the UK king instead, where we suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m.

FAQ's
Will a UK super king Spare Room Ortho Plus fit my bedroom?
We suggest a room of at least 3m x 2.9m for a UK super king, and more if you want bedside tables on both sides and space to open a wardrobe. In a loft conversion, the sloping ceiling usually decides which wall the bed goes against, so measure the full-height floor area rather than the whole room.
How much space does each person get on a UK super king?
Two people sharing get 90cm each on the UK super king. That is 15cm more each than on the UK king and 22.5cm more each than on the UK double, which is the difference you notice when one of you is a light sleeper and the other moves around a lot.
Is it hard to flip a super king double-sided mattress?
This mattress is double-sided and turnable, but at 180cm wide and 28cm deep, a UK super king is awkward for one person to flip. Plan on two people for the job, and clear some floor space around the bed before you start.
Will a UK super king mattress get up my stairs?
At 180 x 200cm and 28cm deep, a UK super king pocket spring mattress is a big thing to carry upstairs. Before ordering, measure the stair width and any tight landing turns, and check which way the bedroom door swings, since that can block the last few feet.
Should I choose a UK super king or a UK king for a spare room?
The UK super king is 30cm wider than the UK king and the same length. We suggest at least 3m x 2.9m for the UK super king, compared with 2.7m x 2.9m for the UK king. Most spare rooms suit the UK king better unless the room regularly takes a family.
