- A full 6ft of width: At 180 x 200cm, or 6ft x 6ft 6in, the UK super king gives each of two sleepers 90cm, which means neither of you ends up perched on the edge.
- Distance from a restless partner: Pocket springs move independently, and at this size you also gain physical distance, so a partner who tosses and turns is much easier to sleep through.
- Room when little ones climb in: When a small child arrives in the early hours, both adults keep a workable share of the mattress instead of clinging to the sides of a narrower bed.
- More room than the UK king: The UK super king is 30cm wider than the UK king at the same length, giving 15cm more each for two sharing.
- In proportion in a large bedroom: In a period property or a generous master bedroom, a UK super king fills the space properly where a UK king can look a little lost.
This size suits you if...
You share with a partner who fidgets all night and want as much distance as a mainstream mattress allows, or children and pets regularly end up in bed with you, and your bedroom comfortably clears our suggested minimum of 3m x 2.9m.
Consider another size if...
Your bedroom is smaller than our suggested 3m x 2.9m, or you rarely share the bed with anyone else. We'd recommend the UK king instead, and we suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m for it.

Is the Connaught Pocket 1000 super king big enough for two adults and a child?
For occasional visits, yes. A UK super king gives two adults 90cm each, so a small child in the middle takes some of that space without pushing anyone out. Nightly co-sleeping with an older child will feel tighter. The independent pocket springs mean less disturbance when someone shifts, which helps when three of you are moving about.
How much extra room does a super king give over a king for a restless partner?
The UK super king is 30cm wider than the UK king and the same length. Shared between two, that works out as 15cm more each: 90cm on the UK super king against 75cm on the UK king. If your partner's movement is the main thing waking you, that extra distance helps, especially alongside springs that move independently.
Will a UK super king Connaught Pocket 1000 fit in a loft conversion bedroom?
It can, but the sloping ceiling usually decides where the bed goes. You'll want the head against a full height wall, with room to sit up and get out of bed on both sides. We suggest a floor area of at least 3m x 2.9m, and more if the slope cuts into the usable space along one side.
Is the Connaught Pocket 1000 in a super king worth it over the double?
If two adults share every night, most likely yes. The UK super king is 45cm wider and 10cm longer than the UK double, and gives 22.5cm more each for two sharing. The catch is room size: the UK double needs at least 2.6m x 2.8m, while we suggest at least 3m x 2.9m for the UK super king.
Is a super king mattress a good idea if a large dog sleeps on the bed?
A UK super king is the most practical mainstream size for it. A large dog can easily claim a sizeable stretch, and 90cm each gives two people enough spare width to absorb that. Pocket springs move independently, which means a dog jumping on or resettling at night is less likely to jolt whoever is asleep.
