- Distance from a fidgety partner: With 90cm each for two people sharing, most movement happens too far away to wake you in the first place.
- Pocket springs on top of the space: Each spring is wrapped individually and moves on its own, which means whatever motion does travel across 180cm of width is dampened before it reaches you.
- Room for the whole household: When children or a large dog treat your bed as theirs, a UK super king means the adults still get a reasonable share.
- A better fit for larger rooms: In a big master bedroom a smaller bed can look lost; we suggest at least 3m x 2.9m for this size, which many period properties and new masters can offer.
- Memory foam without a big spend: A memory foam comfort layer sits over the pocket springs, and at this size the Hyllestad remains at the affordable end of the pocket sprung market.
This size suits you if...
You share every night and want enough width that neither of you notices the other, your partner is genuinely restless and distance matters more to you than any comfort layer, or children and pets regularly end up in the bed and you'd rather plan for that than fight it. You'll also need the room: allow at least 3m x 2.9m for a UK super king.
Consider another size if...
Your bedroom falls short of the 3m x 2.9m we suggest for a UK super king, or you sleep alone. We'd recommend the UK king instead: it's 30cm narrower, the same length, and needs a smaller room, around 2.7m x 2.9m.

Is the Ikea Hyllestad super king good for couples with a restless partner?
It's arguably the size where this mattress makes most sense. Pocket springs move independently, so less motion travels across the bed, and the UK super king adds 90cm each of physical distance on top. Between the two, a partner who turns frequently is much easier to ignore than in a UK double or UK king.
How much bigger is the super king Hyllestad than the king?
The UK super king is 30cm wider than the UK king, and the two are the same length, both 200cm. That extra width goes entirely to sleeping space: 90cm each for two people sharing, which is the same width per person as a UK single. The mattress itself, springs and memory foam layer, is otherwise identical.
What room do I need for the Hyllestad in a UK super king?
The mattress measures 180 x 200cm, or 6ft x 6ft 6in. We suggest a room of at least 3m x 2.9m, and that's our guidance rather than Ikea's, allowing space to walk round the bed and open drawers. If your room is tighter than that, the UK king needs around 2.7m x 2.9m and would suit you better.
Is the Hyllestad super king a sensible family bed?
If children wander in at night, or a large dog sleeps with you as routine, the 180cm width means the adults still keep a workable share of the bed. Yes, super king bedding costs more and the mattress is awkward to move, but for regular co-sleeping the extra width is what actually solves the problem.
