Layer Details
- 90cm each, every night: Two sharers get 90cm apiece, which means a fidgety partner is far enough away that their turning rarely reaches you.
- 30cm wider than a UK king: That extra 30cm over the UK king is what absorbs a child or a large dog arriving at 3am without anyone being pushed to the edge.
- The largest standard UK size: At 6ft x 6ft 6in, this is the biggest size stocked as standard, so bedding and bases are still easy to find, if a little pricier.
- Fills a large master properly: In a big period bedroom or a generous new build master, a UK king can look undersized; the super king sits in proportion with the room.
- Check the route in first: A 180cm-wide mattress is the size where stairs, landing turns and door swings genuinely bite, so measure the route before you order.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and one of you sleeps restlessly, so distance matters more to you than any comfort layer. Or your children or dogs treat your bed as theirs and you want everyone to keep a fair share. Your room can take it too: we suggest at least 3m x 2.9m, and this size only makes sense with that space to spare.
Consider another size if...
Your bedroom falls short of the 3m x 2.9m we suggest, or the staircase turn makes a 180cm mattress impractical. The UK king of this same mattress would suit you better: still 200cm long, just easier to live with.

Is a super king too big for my bedroom?
It can be. We suggest a minimum of 3m x 2.9m for a UK super king, and around 3.5m x 3.2m feels more comfortable, leaving space to walk both sides and open wardrobe doors. Measure your room first, and if it falls short, the UK king in this mattress is the sensible step down.
Will the Highgrove Lancaster super king fit up my stairs?
Highgrove doesn't publish a weight or delivery format for this mattress, so check with the retailer before ordering. At 180cm wide, this is the size where tight landings and door swings cause real problems, so measure the full route in, including any turns, rather than just the bedroom itself.
Is a super king worth it over a king for a restless partner?
Usually, yes. The UK super king is 30cm wider than the UK king, taking each sharer from a squeeze to a full 90cm of their own. With a genuinely restless partner, that distance does more than any comfort layer could. The trade is a bigger room requirement and slightly dearer bedding.
Is the super king a good choice if children climb in at night?
It is the size built for exactly that. With 180cm of width, a child arriving in the small hours can settle between you without either adult ending up on the edge. Anything narrower and someone loses out; at this size, everyone usually keeps a workable share.
What bedding will I need for this super king mattress?
Super king fitted sheets sized for 180 x 200cm, and we'd suggest a 260 x 220cm duvet so the overhang covers both sleepers properly. Fewer shops stock this size than the UK double or king, and it costs a little more, so factor that in when comparing the retailers listed on this page.
