Layer Details
- Cover. A chemical-free polyester and viscose cover. Viscose is a soft, breathable fibre, so the sleep surface feels smooth rather than synthetic.
- Fillings. All-natural, chemical-free cotton and Hampshire wool fillings. Wool regulates temperature naturally, which means it helps keep you warm in winter and cooler in summer.
- Springs. 1,000 individually pocketed springs in the king size. Each spring moves on its own, so the mattress responds to your shape and limits motion transfer across the bed.
- Border. A ventilated border with two rows of stitching for edge support. The ventilation helps air move through the mattress, and the stitching firms up the sides so the edge doesn't sag when you sit on it.

- Distance from a restless partner: You each get 90cm, and the individually pocketed springs move on their own, so a partner who fidgets all night is far easier to sleep through.
- Room when the family piles in: At 6ft x 6ft 6in, a small child or a large dog can join you without anyone being pushed to the edge.
- Firm edges you can use: The ventilated border with two rows of stitching keeps the sides supportive, which means sleeping near the edge of a wide bed still feels secure.
- Wider 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 people sharing.
- Cooler across a big surface: More bed means more shared body heat, and the cotton and Hampshire wool fillings breathe better than foam if either of you runs warm.
- Proportioned for a large room: In a generous period bedroom or a spacious master, a UK super king fills the space properly where a smaller bed can look a little lost.
This size suits you if...
You share with a partner who tosses and turns, children or pets regularly end up in your bed, and you prefer genuinely firm support. It also suits you if your bedroom comfortably clears our suggested minimum of 3m x 2.9m.
Consider another size if...
Your bedroom falls short of our suggested 3m x 2.9m, or a tight landing and door swing leave little clearance. We'd recommend the UK king instead, for which we suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m.

How much more space does the Boutique Ortho super king give 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 15cm more each. You need more floor for it, though: we suggest at least 3m x 2.9m for the UK super king, against 2.7m x 2.9m for the UK king.
Is the Boutique Ortho super king good if my partner is a restless sleeper?
It is one of the better setups for it. You each get 90cm, and physical distance does more than any comfort layer to stop you feeling a partner turn over. The pocketed springs also move independently, so what movement does reach your side is reduced.
How many springs are in the Boutique Ortho super king?
The Handmade Bed Company quotes 1,000 individually pocketed springs for the UK king, but doesn't publish a count for the UK super king. If spring count matters to your decision, check the brand's own guidance before buying.
Is a firm super king comfortable with children or dogs sharing the bed?
The firmness helps here. You won't roll towards a child or pet, as you can on a softer mattress, and the stitched border keeps the edge supportive when someone ends up sleeping on it. With 180cm of width, a late-night visitor rarely leaves anyone short of room.
Is the Boutique Ortho super king a big step up from a double?
Yes, a noticeable one. The UK super king is 45cm wider and 10cm longer than the UK double, and gives 22.5cm more each for two people sharing. Plan your room accordingly: we suggest at least 3m x 2.9m for the UK super king, compared with 2.6m x 2.8m for the UK double.
