Key benefits
- Room to sleep undisturbed: At 180 x 200cm you each get 90cm of width, which means a partner who tosses and turns is far less likely to wake you.
- Space for night-time visitors: When a small child wanders in after a bad dream, a UK super king usually leaves both adults a reasonable share rather than one of you clinging to the edge.
- Comfortable with a large dog: If a big dog sleeps on the bed every night, the extra width means it can stretch out without pinning your legs.
- Fits a generous room in proportion: In a period property or a large master bedroom, a 6ft x 6ft 6in bed fills the space properly where a UK king can look slightly lost.
- Seasonal sides across the full width: You get the British wool side for cooler months and the breathable cotton side for warmer ones, with both sleepers on the same surface whichever way up it sits.
This size suits you if...
You share with a partner whose movement regularly wakes you, or children and pets often end up in your bed, and your bedroom comfortably clears 3m x 2.9m with space left for bedside tables.
Consider another size if...
Your bedroom is under 3m x 2.9m or the bed must sit beneath a sloping loft ceiling. We'd recommend the UK king instead; allow at least 2.7m x 2.9m for it.

FAQ's
How big does my bedroom need to be for a Flaxby Hempstead super king?
We suggest at least 3m x 2.9m for a UK super king, with around 3.5m x 3.2m feeling more comfortable. In a loft conversion, check where the slope falls before you commit, because the bed may only fit against one wall. Measure the door swing too, so it clears the corner of the mattress.
How much space does each person get on a UK super king Hempstead?
Two people sharing a UK super king get 90cm each. Compared with the UK king, that gives you 15cm more each, and against the UK double it's 22.5cm more each. For couples where one partner is a genuinely restless sleeper, that gap is often what makes the difference.
Is the Flaxby Hempstead UK super king big enough for two adults and a child?
For occasional visits, yes. At 180 x 200cm, a small child who climbs in at night can usually settle between you without either adult being pushed to the edge. If co-sleeping is a nightly routine with more than one child, you may still find it a little crowded.
What bedding fits the Hempstead in a UK super king?
You'll need super king sheets and a 260 x 220cm duvet. The mattress is 35cm deep, so look for deep-pocket fitted sheets that will grip properly. Bedding at this size tends to cost more than for a UK king, so factor that in when you plan the purchase.
Should I get the Flaxby Hempstead in a UK king or UK super king?
The UK super king is 30cm wider than the UK king and the same length. Choose it if you want maximum space for a restless partner, children or a dog, and your room clears 3m x 2.9m. If your room is closer to 2.7m x 2.9m, the UK king is the better fit.
