Layer Details
Striped cotton cover
A classic striped 100% cotton cover, hand tufted to secure the fillings underneath. Cotton is a natural fabric, and the tufting helps keep the fillings from shifting.
White fibre fillings
A lightweight, high loft fibre that retains its shape. It gives the surface some cushioning over the springs and should keep its loft over time.
Pocket spring interior
Small diameter pocket springs, each housed in its own cloth sleeve. Because each coil works on its own, the springs can respond individually to your body, and this layer provides the firm support.
Wire edge border
A thick wire surrounds the perimeter of the spring system. It helps the edges keep their shape, which should make sitting on the side of the bed feel more stable.

Key benefits
- 90cm of width each: Two people sharing get 90cm each, which means you can both turn over freely without ever meeting in the middle.
- Distance beats disturbance: If your partner fidgets, kicks or gets up in the night, the extra width does more for your sleep than any comfort layer could.
- Space when children wander in: At 6ft x 6ft 6in, a small visitor at 3am still leaves both adults a reasonable share of the bed.
- Room for a dog too: If a large dog treats the foot of your bed as its own, this is the size where that stops being a nightly negotiation.
- 30cm wider than a UK king: That extra width over the UK king is the difference between a comfortable bed for two and a genuinely undisturbed one.
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 restless enough that a UK king still feels crowded, or children and pets regularly join you and you'd rather plan for it than fight it. Your bedroom should comfortably clear our suggested minimum of 3m x 2.9m.
Consider another size if...
Your room is under our suggested 3m x 2.9m minimum, or a super king would dominate the space and make dressing awkward. We'd recommend the UK king instead: it's 30cm narrower and fits typical UK bedrooms far more easily.

FAQ's
What size is the Highgrove Lancaster in a UK super king?
It measures 180 x 200cm, or 6ft x 6ft 6in. That gives two people sharing 90cm of width each, and it's 30cm wider than the UK king. It's the largest size UK retailers stock as standard, so bed frames and bedding are still easy to find, if a little pricier.
How big does my room need to be for a super king mattress?
We suggest at least 3m x 2.9m, and around 3.5m x 3.2m feels more comfortable, leaving space to walk around the bed and open wardrobe doors. In a period property or a large master where a UK king looks lost, a super king often sits better in the room.
Is a super king worth it for a restless partner?
Usually, yes. With 90cm each, movement on one side transfers far less to the other, and simple distance often does more than any mattress construction. Detail on this model's build is limited, so the width is the part of the equation you can rely on here.
Will this super king mattress fit up my stairs?
This is the size where access genuinely bites: tight landing turns, narrow doorways and awkward door swings all get harder at 180cm wide. Measure your route before ordering. Highgrove doesn't publish handling guidance we can pass on for this model, so check the retailer's listing for delivery specifics.
Where can I buy the Highgrove Lancaster in a super king?
Availability for this model is limited, so there's less scope to shop around than usual. Compare the retailers listed on this page: the prices shown here are updated as retailers change them, which is the simplest way to see current stock and cost for the UK super king.
