Layer Details
- Coolmax sleep surface. A moisture-wicking sleep surface, which means sweat is drawn away from your body rather than sitting against your skin. The result is a fresher, drier feel through the night.
- Airmesh comfort layer. A 3D honeycomb mesh that uses your movement to push air around the mattress. In practice, this means better circulation and a cooler sleeping environment.
- Eco Comfort Fibre. Soft fibres made from recycled materials, fully recyclable at the end of the mattress's life. They mould around your contours for a plush, pressure-relieving surface feel.
- Mirapocket Springs support system. Silentnight's zoned pocket springs, designed to react to different areas of your body independently. This helps align your spine, which you'll feel as steadier posture support and less pressure build-up.
- Mini Pocket Springs. A layer of 1,000 mini springs sitting within the build for extra comfort and pressure relief. They also cut down motion transfer, so a partner's movement is less likely to wake you.
Layer details from mattressonline.co.uk product page, September 2026.
- 90cm each for two sharing: Two people each get 90cm of width, which means a partner who turns over a dozen times a night is far enough away to ignore.
- Motion transfer, tackled twice: The 1,000 mini pocket springs already damp down a partner's movement, and the extra distance a UK super king adds does the rest.
- Space for the whole household: Children padding in at 3am, or a large dog who treats the bed as routine, still leave everyone a workable share of 180cm.
- Cooler with more room: The Coolmax surface and Airmesh layer move air and wick moisture, and at this width you're less likely to end up sleeping pressed against a warm body anyway.
- Right-sized for a big master: In a period property or generous new build master, a UK king can look lost; the UK super king fills the space properly. Allow at least 3m x 2.9m.
This size suits you if...
You share every night and want the most sleeping space a standard UK size offers, your partner is genuinely restless and distance matters more than any comfort layer, or children and pets regularly join you and a UK king has started to feel crowded. Your bedroom should measure at least 3m x 2.9m for the bed to work in the room.
Consider another size if...
Your room is under our suggested 3m x 2.9m minimum, or you'd struggle to rotate a heavy 31cm mattress at this width. We'd recommend the UK king instead: it's 30cm narrower, the same length, and we suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m for it.

How much space does each person get on a super king Silentnight Eco Comfort Airmesh?
Two people sharing get 90cm of width each. Combined with the layer of 1,000 mini pocket springs that cuts motion transfer, that's usually enough distance to sleep through a restless partner's turning. If children or pets join you regularly, the extra width means everyone still gets a reasonable share.
Is the super king worth it over the king for the Eco Comfort Airmesh 1600?
The UK super king is 30cm wider than the UK king and the two are the same length, so the whole gain goes into sideways space between sleepers. If one of you is a light sleeper, or the bed regularly hosts more than two, that width is the difference you'll actually feel. The mattress itself is identical in both sizes.
Will the Silentnight Eco Comfort Airmesh super king be hard to get upstairs?
It's a heavy mattress at 31cm deep, and at 180cm wide the UK super king is the trickiest size of this model to manoeuvre. Tight landing turns and door swings are the usual sticking points, so measure those before ordering. You'll want two people for the move, and again whenever you rotate it.
What room size do you need for this mattress in a super king?
We suggest a bedroom of at least 3m x 2.9m, with around 3.5m x 3.2m feeling more comfortable, so you can open drawers and walk round the bed without shuffling sideways. In a loft conversion, check the ceiling slope too, since it often decides which wall a bed this wide can sit against.
Is a super king too big for a couple who don't share with kids or pets?
Not necessarily, but the case is weaker. The zoned Mirapocket springs and mini spring layer already limit how much you feel a partner move, so a settled couple in a modest room may find the UK king plenty. The UK super king is for when distance itself is the fix, or the room is large enough to make a UK king look undersized.
