Layer Details
- Knitted Cover. A soft knitted sleep surface that lets air move through easily, so the mattress feels fresher through the night. It also gives the top a smooth, comfortable finish.
- Cooling Gel Fusion™ Memory Foam. Gel memory foam that feels cool to the touch and gently moulds to your shape, which means pressure points like hips and shoulders get some relief despite the firm feel. It's the layer doing most of the comfort work here.
- 2000 Pocket Springs. 2000 individually responsive pocket springs form the support core, each moving on its own to match where your body needs it. This targeted response also helps stop roll-together if you share the bed.

- Space for a restless partner: With 90cm each, a partner who tosses and turns has room to do it, and the independent pocket springs limit how much of that movement travels across to you.
- Room when children climb in: The full 180cm width means a child arriving in the small hours doesn't leave one adult clinging to the edge for the rest of the night.
- A real step up from the UK king: It is 30cm wider than the UK king at the same 200cm length, which gives each of you 15cm more to spread out.
- A cooler surface with extra bodies: The gel memory foam feels cool to the touch and the knitted cover lets air move through, which helps when a child or dog adds warmth to the bed.
- In proportion in a large bedroom: In a period property or a spacious master bedroom, a 6ft-wide bed fills the room sensibly where a smaller size can look slightly lost.
This size suits you if...
You share with a restless partner and want a full 90cm each, or children and pets regularly find their way into your bed. You also like a firm, supportive feel, 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 door swing and tight landing turns leave little clearance. We'd recommend the UK king instead, and we suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m for the UK king.

Is the Essence Ortho 2000 UK super king much bigger than the UK king?
The UK super king is 30cm wider than the UK king, while both are 200cm long, so all the extra is in width. Two sharers get 15cm more each, 90cm rather than 75cm. The room requirement rises too: 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 Essence Ortho 2000 super king good if my partner is a restless sleeper?
Distance helps more than any comfort layer, and the UK super king gives you 90cm each. The 2000 pocket springs also move individually, so a partner turning over is less likely to jolt your side. On a narrower size the springs do the same job, but with less space between you.
Can a family share the Essence Ortho 2000 in a UK super king?
Yes. The UK super king gives two adults 90cm each before anyone else arrives, so there is slack for a small child who wanders in. It is a firm mattress, so everyone gets a supportive rather than sink-in surface. If children join you most nights, the full 180cm width makes that far more workable.
Will a super king Essence Ortho 2000 fit in a loft conversion bedroom?
Check the floor area first: we suggest at least 3m x 2.9m for the UK super king. Then look at the ceiling slope, since the headboard usually needs the tallest wall so you can sit up comfortably. The mattress is 29cm deep, so factor in your base height as well.
Is the Essence Ortho 2000 UK super king big enough with a large dog on the bed?
The UK super king is the largest size of this mattress, at 180 x 200cm, so a big dog has somewhere to settle without eating into either person's 90cm. Because the pocket springs respond individually, the dog shifting position is less likely to disturb whoever is sleeping beside it.
