- 90cm each for two sleepers: Two people sharing get 90cm each, which means a fidgety partner or a wakeful guest is far easier to sleep through.
- 30cm wider than a UK king: That extra 30cm over the UK king is the difference between sharing comfortably and sharing carefully, particularly in a let where guests vary.
- Crib 5 rating at the flagship size: The contract fire rating that makes this mattress suit HMOs and holiday lets applies here too, so your biggest room can be compliant as well as generous.
- Room for the whole household: Children wandering in at 3am, or a large dog who considers the bed home, are absorbed without anyone losing their share of the mattress.
- The size premium rooms are priced on: In holiday lets, a super king master is often what justifies the top room rate, and this is the size that delivers it.
This size suits you if...
You're kitting out a holiday let or guest house master bedroom where a super king sets the tone, you need Crib 5 compliance at the largest standard UK size, or you share with a restless partner, children or pets and want distance to do the work that comfort layers can't. Your room comfortably clears our suggested minimum of 3m x 2.9m.
Consider another size if...
Your bedroom is under the 3m x 2.9m we suggest as a minimum, or the bed would dominate the room. We'd recommend the UK king instead, which is 30cm narrower and fits far more UK bedrooms.

How much wider is the Highgrove Canterbury super king than the UK king?
The UK super king is 30cm wider than the UK king, at 180cm across rather than 150cm. Both are 200cm long. That extra width gives two sharers 90cm each, which is the same personal space as a UK single apiece, and it's the main reason to size up in a contract setting.
Will the Highgrove Canterbury super king fit in a 3m bedroom?
Just about. We suggest at least 3m x 2.9m for a super king, with around 3.5m x 3.2m feeling comfortable, so a 3m room is at the tight end. Check door swing and walkway space on both sides before committing, especially in a let where guests need bedside access.
Is the Highgrove Canterbury super king a good choice for a holiday let master bedroom?
On paper, yes: the Crib 5 rating covers the fire safety requirement for holiday lets, and a super king is what guests increasingly expect in a headline room. The caveat is that published comfort details for this model are thin, so ask the retailer about firmness and construction before ordering several.
Can two restless sleepers share the Canterbury super king comfortably?
Space-wise, this is the best size for it. With 90cm each, movement on one side is much easier to ignore on the other, and distance does more for a disturbed sleeper than any comfort layer. We can't verify how well the pocket springs isolate motion, as Highgrove publishes little detail on this model.
Where can I buy the Highgrove Canterbury super king?
Compare the retailers listed on this page; the prices shown here are updated as retailers change them. Stock of this mattress is limited, so shopping around on price isn't really an option at this size. If the super king is unavailable, check whether the UK king is listed as an alternative.
