- 90cm each for two sharers: You each get 90cm of width, which means a restless partner turning over at 3am is far enough away that you may not notice at all.
- Room for night-time visitors: When a child pads in during the small hours, the extra 30cm over a UK king is often the difference between everyone sleeping and someone decamping to the sofa.
- Suits a larger master bedroom: In a big period bedroom or a generous new build master, a UK super king fills the space properly where a UK king can look a little lost.
- Space for pets who share as routine: If a large dog treats your bed as its own, the 180cm width absorbs that habit without squeezing the humans.
- Confirm the details before you commit: Construction details for this Hypnos aren't published, so ask the retailer about springs and fillings, then compare prices via the live table on this page.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and want the maximum distance from a partner who fidgets, your children or pets regularly join you and a UK king already feels crowded, or your bedroom is large enough that a smaller bed would look undersized. Allow at least 3m x 2.9m of floor space, with something nearer 3.5m x 3.2m feeling comfortable.
Consider another size if...
Your bedroom falls short of the 3m x 2.9m we suggest for a UK super king, or you rarely have company in the bed. We'd recommend the UK king instead: it's 30cm narrower, the same length, and needs a smaller room at 2.7m x 2.9m.

How big is the Hypnos Orthos Support 8 in a super king?
It measures 180 x 200cm, or 6ft x 6ft 6in. That gives two people 90cm each, the same width as two UK singles pushed together, which is why hotels build their zip and link beds on this footprint.
What size room do I need for the Orthos Support 8 super king?
We suggest at least 3m x 2.9m, and around 3.5m x 3.2m feels right, leaving space to walk around the bed and open wardrobe doors. This is our guidance rather than the manufacturer's, so measure your room, and your landing turns, before ordering.
Is the super king Orthos Support 8 worth it over the UK king?
The UK super king is 30cm wider than the UK king, with the same length. If a partner is genuinely restless, that extra distance does more for your sleep than any comfort layer can. If you sleep alone or your room is under 3m wide, the UK king makes more sense.
Is a super king Orthos Support 8 big enough for a family?
At 180cm wide it's the most forgiving mainstream size for co-sleeping. With 90cm per adult, a child arriving at night borrows space from both sides rather than forcing one of you out, and a large dog at the foot leaves everyone workable room.
Where can I buy the Orthos Support 8 in a super king?
Stocking is limited for this model, so compare the retailers listed on this page; the prices shown here are updated as retailers change them. Before you buy, it's sensible to ask the retailer to confirm the spring type, fillings and firmness, since Hypnos doesn't publish full construction details for this mattress.
