Layer Details
- Pocket springs. Individually wrapped steel springs, 498 per square metre, which means each one moves on its own. You'll feel support that follows your shape and less disturbance when a partner turns over.
- Comfort zones. Zoned areas within the spring unit give slightly different support along the length of the mattress. In practice, your shoulders and hips can sink a touch more while your back stays supported.
- Standard foam. A layer of polyurethane foam at 33 kg/m3, a solid density for durability. It cushions the springs so you don't feel them directly.
- Memory foam. Memory foam moulds to your body under warmth and pressure. It softens the firm surface a little at pressure points like hips and shoulders.
- Stiff felt. A firm felt layer that insulates the comfort layers from the springs. It helps the mattress keep its structure over time.
Layer details from ikea.com product page, September 2026.
- 90cm each for two sharers: Two people get 90cm apiece, which means a partner who turns over repeatedly is far less likely to wake you.
- Space when the household joins in: The UK super king is 30cm wider than the UK king, so a child or a large dog climbing in still leaves the adults a proper share.
- Springs that respond side by side: Individually wrapped springs at 498 per square metre move on their own, so across 180cm of width each side reacts to its own sleeper.
- Room to stretch out lengthways: At 6ft 6in long, the UK super king leaves taller sleepers a little more room to stretch out than the shorter sizes do.
- In proportion with a large bedroom: In a generous master bedroom or a high-ceilinged period room, this width fills the space where a UK king can look slightly lost.
This size suits you if...
You share with a genuinely restless partner and want real distance between you, or children and a large dog regularly end up in the bed and you'd like everyone to keep a fair share of the mattress.
Consider another size if...
Your bedroom falls short of 3m x 2.9m, or tight door swing and landing turns leave little clearance. We'd recommend the UK king instead, which needs at least 2.7m x 2.9m.

Is the Ikea Vagstranda UK super king big enough for two adults and a child?
For most families, yes. Two adults get 90cm each at 180cm wide, so a small child climbing in between you still finds a gap rather than a squeeze. That is 30cm more width than the UK king offers. If a child sleeps with you every night rather than occasionally, the UK super king is the size we'd point you to.
Ikea Vagstranda super king vs king: which should I choose?
Both are 200cm long, so the choice comes down to width and room. The UK super king is 30cm wider, giving each sharer 15cm more than the UK king's 75cm. We suggest at least 3m x 2.9m for the UK super king and 2.7m x 2.9m for the UK king. If your room clears the larger figure, the extra width is the better buy for restless sleepers.
Will I feel my partner move on the Vagstranda UK super king?
Less than on smaller sizes. The pocket springs move independently, which limits how far movement travels across the mattress. With 90cm each on the UK super king, your partner is also physically further away, and that distance does most of the work. Across verified owner reviews, a genuinely restless partner is one of the main reasons people choose this size.
Will the Ikea Vagstranda UK super king fit in a loft conversion bedroom?
Floor area is only part of it. A sloping ceiling usually decides which wall the bed can go against, because you need standing height on the side you get in and out. Check the floor against our minimum of 3m x 2.9m, and aim for nearer 3.5m x 3.2m if you want it to feel comfortable rather than crammed.
