Layer Details
- Cover. A breathable Belgian damask cover, woven without FR chemicals. That means fire safety is achieved through the fabric itself rather than chemical treatments.
- Egyptian Cotton. A generous layer of super fine Egyptian cotton strands gives a soft, plush sleep surface. It also wicks moisture, which means you stay cool and dry through the night.
- British Wool and Flax Blend. A blend of British wool and flax that breathes well and helps regulate temperature. The wool is traceable, collected from Harrison Spinks' own Yorkshire farm.
- Viscose Wool. Viscose wool derived from the wood pulp of eucalyptus, beech and pine trees. It adds another breathable, temperature-regulating layer to the fillings.
- Micro Springs. Two layers of in-house designed micro springs that contour to your body much like foam. They offer support and relief that adapt to your individual shape.
- Cortec™ Pocket Springs. Glue-free Cortec pocket springs that support your pressure points and adapt to changes in your weight as you move. In practice, that means consistent pressure relief whichever position you settle into.

- 90cm each for two sharing: That's a full single bed's worth of width per person, which means a fidgety partner becomes a distant rumour rather than a nightly disturbance.
- Springs, not motion-transferring foam-free myth: Glue-free Cortec pocket springs move independently, so at this width movement on one side has very little chance of reaching the other.
- Room for the whole household: When children wander in at 3am or a large dog treats the bed as routine, 180cm of width means everyone still gets a share.
- Natural fillings across a big surface: Egyptian cotton, British wool and flax breathe well, which matters more at this size because two warm bodies share the same mattress all night.
- Same length as a UK king: At 200cm long, sizing up from a UK king adds 30cm of width without needing a longer bed frame or a longer wall.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and want the most sleeping space a standard UK size offers, your partner is genuinely restless and distance will do more for your sleep than any comfort layer could, or children and pets regularly join you and a UK king has started to feel crowded. Your bedroom comfortably clears our suggested minimum of 3m x 2.9m.
Consider another size if...
Your room is under 3m x 2.9m, or your stairs and landing can't take a flat-delivered mattress this size. We'd recommend the UK king instead: it's 30cm narrower, the same length, and we suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m for it.

Will the Durham 6950 UK super king fit up my stairs?
This is the size where it genuinely bites. The Durham 6950 arrives flat rather than rolled, and at 180 x 200cm with a 28cm depth it won't bend around tight corners. Measure your staircase, landing turns and door swings before ordering, and check the brand's own guidance if anything looks marginal.
How much space do two people get on the UK super king Durham 6950?
90cm each for two people sharing, which is the width of a whole UK single per person. Combined with the glue-free Cortec pocket springs, which respond individually rather than as one surface, that distance means one sleeper shifting position rarely disturbs the other.
What size room do I need for the Durham 6950 in a UK super king?
We suggest a minimum of 3m x 2.9m, and that really is a minimum: it leaves walking space around the bed but little else. If your room is smaller, the UK king needs at least 2.7m x 2.9m by our guidance and gives up only 30cm of width.
Is the Durham 6950 super king much bigger than the king?
The UK super king is 30cm wider than the UK King, and the two are the same length. In practice that extra width is what turns a shared bed into two undisturbed halves, especially with children or pets joining in. The trade-off is a bigger room requirement and pricier bedding.
Is the super king Durham 6950 a good choice for hot sleepers sharing?
Two people generate more warmth than one, and at this size you'll both be on the same mattress all night. The Durham 6950's wool, flax and Egyptian cotton fillings wick moisture and breathe, so the construction works in your favour compared with foam-heavy alternatives at this width.
