Layer Details
- Distance from a restless partner: With 90cm each, you are physically further from someone who turns all night, and the extra firm surface also avoids the dip that pulls two sleepers together.
- Space when the family piles in: When a small child climbs in, a UK super king leaves two adults a usable share, so nobody ends up clinging to the edge by morning.
- More room than a UK king: You get 30cm more width than the UK king at the same length, which means 15cm more each for two sleepers.
- Room for dogs that share every night: If a large dog sleeps on the bed as a matter of routine, the firm surface resists the sagging a heavy animal can leave in one spot.
- In proportion in a larger bedroom: In a generous master bedroom or a high ceilinged period room, a UK king can look undersized, while a 6ft x 6ft 6in bed fills the space properly.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed with a partner who tosses and turns, or regularly with children or a large dog, and you both want the pushback of an extra firm mattress without being crowded onto one side.
Consider another size if...
Your bedroom is under our suggested minimum of 3m x 2.9m, or you usually sleep alone. We'd recommend the UK king instead, which needs at least 2.7m x 2.9m.

Is the Backcare Ultimate 3000 super king big enough for two adults and a child?
For occasional night visits, yes. The UK super king gives two adults 90cm each, so a small child can settle between you and you still keep a workable share. Bear in mind the extra firm feel is the same all the way across, which suits most children, although a very young child may find it less cosy than a softer surface.
Spring King Backcare Ultimate 3000 super king vs king: which is better for a restless partner?
If disturbance is the main problem, the UK super king. It is 30cm wider than the UK king, giving you 15cm more each, and distance does more for a fidgety partner than any comfort layer can. The pocket springs also move independently in either size. Go for the UK king only if your room cannot take the UK super king.
Will a UK super king Backcare Ultimate 3000 fit in a loft conversion bedroom?
It can, but the sloping ceiling usually decides which wall the bed goes against, and at 180 x 200cm you need full headroom along the whole headboard side. We suggest at least 3m x 2.9m of floor space, with around 3.5m x 3.2m feeling comfortable. Measure the flat-ceilinged area, not the total floor.
What should I check before ordering a super king Backcare Ultimate 3000?
Three things tend to catch people out at this size. Check that the bedroom door can swing open fully once a 180cm wide bed is in place, and that the mattress can turn on your landing. Budget for super king sheets and a 260 x 220cm duvet too, as your existing king bedding will not fit.
Is an extra firm super king a good choice for sharing with a large dog?
Generally, yes. A heavy dog lying in the same spot night after night can leave a hollow in softer mattresses, and an extra firm pocket sprung surface is better at resisting that. The UK super king's 180cm width also means the dog can take a corner while both of you keep 90cm of sleeping space.
