Layer Details
- 90cm each for two sharers: With 90cm each for two people sharing, a fidgety partner is far easier to ignore, which matters more than any comfort layer.
- Room for night-time visitors: When a child pads in at 3am, or the dog claims the foot of the bed, 180cm of width means everyone still gets a reasonable share.
- 30cm wider than a UK king: The UK super king is 30cm wider than the UK King, a difference you feel every night if you have ever woken pressed to the edge.
- Big size, small outlay: Super kings usually carry a premium, so a budget model like this one makes the size reachable for a large master without a large spend.
- Fills a bigger room properly: In a period property or generous master bedroom, a UK king can look undersized against the wall; the UK super king sits in proportion.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and want distance from a restless partner, your children or pets treat your bed as an open invitation, or you have a large master bedroom where a smaller size would look lost. It also suits you if you want the biggest standard UK size without spending what a super king usually costs.
Consider another size if...
Your room is smaller than about 3m x 2.9m, our suggested minimum for this size, or you sleep alone. In either case we'd recommend the UK king instead, which is 30cm narrower and much easier to place.

Is the Highgrove Solar Backcare in a UK super king big enough for a family?
It is the most family-friendly size in the range. At 180 x 200cm, two adults get 90cm each, so when a child climbs in during the night there is still usable space for everyone. If that happens most nights in your house, this size is the practical choice rather than a luxury.
How much wider is a UK super king than a 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 30cm is the difference between sensing every turn your partner makes and barely noticing them, which is why restless couples tend to size up.
Will the Highgrove Solar Backcare super king fit in my bedroom?
The mattress measures 180 x 200cm, or 6ft x 6ft 6in. We suggest a room of at least 3m x 2.9m so you can walk round the bed and open drawers, and something nearer 3.5m x 3.2m feels comfortable. Measure door swings and landing turns too; this size is where they start to bite.
Does a budget mattress make sense in a super king size?
Often, yes. At this size, sheer space does a lot of the work: with 90cm each for two people sharing, disturbances from a partner fade regardless of what the layers are made of. Highgrove publishes little construction detail for this model, so if specs matter to you that is the trade-off to weigh.
Where can I buy the Highgrove Solar Backcare in a UK super king?
This is a retailer-exclusive model, so you won't find it on Highgrove's own website. Compare the retailers listed on this page instead; the prices shown here are updated as retailers change them, so what you see reflects current availability for the UK super king.
