Layer Details
- Sleeping surface. A chemical-free surface blended from wool and viscose. It sits directly beneath you and helps regulate temperature through the night.
- Natural fillings. Generous layers of British wool, breathable cotton, naturally cooling flax and farm-grown hemp. These fillings wick moisture and keep air moving, which means fewer clammy nights.
- Pocket springs. 9,690 responsive springs across five layers, combining high-density micro, Posturfil and Cortec pocket springs. Each spring moves independently, so the mattress adapts to your body, relieves pressure and lets air circulate.
Layer details from featherandblack.com product page, September 2026.
- 90cm each for two sharers: That is a full single's width per person, so one of you turning over barely registers on the other side.
- Space that absorbs company: When children or a large dog treat your bed as theirs, 180cm of width means everyone still gets a workable share.
- 9,690 springs spread across a big surface: Five layers of pocket springs respond independently, which means movement on one half of this wide mattress stays on that half.
- Natural fillings across a large area: Wool, cotton, flax and hemp breathe well, useful when two adults and the occasional visitor share one sleeping surface.
- Firm support at the edges too: On a bed this wide you will often sleep nearer the sides, and the firm build keeps support consistent rather than fading at the perimeter.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and a UK king has started to feel like a compromise, one of you is a genuinely restless sleeper and distance matters more than any comfort layer, or children and pets regularly join you and you want everyone to have room. It also suits a large master bedroom or period property where a UK king would look undersized against the wall.
Consider another size if...
Your bedroom falls short of the 3m x 2.9m we suggest as a minimum for a UK super king. In that case we'd recommend the UK king instead: it is 30cm narrower, the same length, and we suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m for it.

What room size do I need for the Harrison Spinks Owen super king?
We suggest a minimum of 3m x 2.9m, and around 3.5m x 3.2m feels comfortable, leaving space to walk round the bed and open drawers. Measure with doors and wardrobes in mind, since a 180 x 200cm mattress dominates a room. If your measurements come in tight, the UK king needs at least 2.7m x 2.9m by our guidance.
How much space does each person get on a super king Owen?
90cm each for two people sharing, the same width as a full UK single per person. Combined with the Owen's five layers of pocket springs, which move independently rather than as one unit, a partner shifting position at 3am is much easier to sleep through than on a narrower bed.
Is the Owen super king hard to rotate?
It needs regular head to foot rotation, and at 180cm wide with dense natural fillings this is realistically a two-person job. Clear space either side of the bed before you start. If you live alone or have limited strength, factor that upkeep in before choosing this size.
Is a super king the right size for sharing with children?
It is the most practical mainstream size for it. At 180 x 200cm, a small visitor in the early hours still leaves both adults a reasonable share, where a UK double or UK king quickly feels crowded. The Owen's firm build also holds its shape well under uneven, shifting weight.
Can I go bigger than the super king in this mattress?
Yes. Harrison Spinks makes the Owen in sizes up to an emperor, so the UK super king is the largest standard size rather than the ceiling. For most couples, though, 90cm of width each is ample, and anything larger starts to demand a very big room and non-standard bedding.
