- Distance from a restless partner: At 90cm each for two people sharing, a partner who turns all night is further away, which means fewer of their movements reach your side at all.
- Space for night-time visitors: A child who wanders in at 3am can settle in the middle while both adults still keep a workable strip of mattress rather than clinging to the edges.
- A clear step up from the king: The UK super king is 30cm wider than the UK king at the same length, giving each sleeper 15cm more across the bed.
- Suits a large master bedroom: In a big master or a high-ceilinged period bedroom, a 6ft x 6ft 6in bed fills the space in proportion where a smaller bed can look lost.
- Room for a large dog: If a big dog sleeps on the bed every night, the extra width lets it stretch out at the foot or between you without pushing anyone off.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed with a partner whose tossing and turning wakes you, or your children and pets regularly end up in with you, and your bedroom comfortably clears our suggested minimum of 3m x 2.9m.
Consider another size if...
Your bedroom falls short of 3m x 2.9m, or your stairs and landing have tight turns. We'd recommend the UK king instead, which needs at least 2.7m x 2.9m.

How much wider is the Dorchester Pocket 5000 super king than the king?
The UK super king is 30cm wider than the UK king, and both are the same length. For two people sharing, that works out at 90cm each on the UK super king against 75cm each on the UK king, so you each gain 15cm of width.
Is the Dorchester Pocket 5000 super king big enough for two adults and a child?
It's the most room this mattress offers. Two adults get 90cm each before anyone else climbs in, so a small child who arrives in the night can usually fit between you without either adult ending up on the edge. For a child who stays every night, the UK super king is the size to choose in this range.
Dorchester Pocket 5000 double or super king for a restless sleeper?
The UK super king is 45cm wider and 10cm longer than the UK double. Sharing, the UK double gives 67.5cm each, while the UK super king gives 22.5cm more each. With a partner who moves a lot, that extra distance does more to protect your sleep than any change in comfort layers.
Will a Dorchester Pocket 5000 super king feel too big in my bedroom?
We suggest a room of at least 3m x 2.9m for a UK super king, and around 3.5m x 3.2m is where it starts to feel comfortable. In a loft conversion, check the sloping ceiling first, because it often decides which wall the bed can go against and how much headroom you keep on each side.
What should I check before ordering the Dorchester Pocket 5000 in super king?
Measure the bedroom door, including how far it swings open, and any tight turns on the stairs or landing. At 6ft x 6ft 6in this is a large item to carry up. Also check your bedding, because you'll need super king sheets and a 260 x 220cm duvet.
