- Real distance from a fidgety partner: You each get 90cm, which means a partner who turns over constantly is much further from you, and the independent pocket springs should dampen what movement does travel across.
- A share for everyone when children climb in: On the UK super king a small child can settle in the middle without either adult giving up their own side of the bed.
- Space for a large dog as routine: If a big dog sleeps at your feet or between you every night, the extra width means you stop arranging your legs around them.
- More room than the UK king without extra length: The UK super king is 30cm wider than the UK king at the same length, giving you 15cm more each while the bed reaches no further into the room.
- In proportion with a generous bedroom: In a period property or a large master bedroom a smaller bed can look lost, whereas 6ft x 6ft 6in fills the space as the room intended.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed with a partner whose tossing and turning wakes you, your children or dogs regularly end up in with you, or your bedroom comfortably clears our suggested minimum of 3m x 2.9m and a smaller bed would look undersized in it.
Consider another size if...
Your bedroom is under 3m x 2.9m, or the bed would crowd a door or wardrobe. We'd recommend the UK king instead, for which we suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m.

Is the Mayfair Bamboo Pocket 1500 super king worth it over the king?
If you are sharing and space at night is the problem, yes. The UK super king is 30cm wider than the UK king and the same length, which works out at 15cm more each. You need a bigger room for it, though: we suggest at least 3m x 2.9m, against 2.7m x 2.9m for the UK king.
Can a family with young children share a super king pocket sprung mattress?
A UK super king is the most practical mainstream size for it. With 90cm per adult, a small child in the middle takes space from the gap rather than from you. The pocket springs move independently, so a wriggling child should disturb you slightly less than on a mattress where springs are linked.
Does a super king help if my partner is a restless sleeper?
Distance helps more than any comfort layer can. A UK super king gives you 90cm each, compared with 67.5cm each on a UK double, so there is 22.5cm more space between you. Combined with independently moving pocket springs, a partner who shifts all night becomes much easier to sleep through.
Will a super king mattress fit in a loft conversion bedroom?
Only if the full-height part of the room is big enough. Sloping ceilings usually decide which wall the bed goes against, so measure the floor area where you can stand upright. We suggest at least 3m x 2.9m for a UK super king, and around 3.5m x 3.2m feels more comfortable.
What should I check before ordering a super king Mayfair Bamboo Pocket 1500?
Measure how far the bedroom door swings open, then check any tight turn on the landing, since a 180 x 200cm pocket sprung mattress is awkward to carry. Sweet Dreams doesn't publish a weight for it, so ask the retailer. Budget for super king sheets and a 260 x 220cm duvet too.
