Layer Details
- Pocket springs. Individually wrapped steel springs, 249 per square metre, that compress independently. This means support follows the contours of your body and a restless partner disturbs you less.
- Comfort zones. Zoned areas within the spring unit that yield differently along the length of the mattress. In practice, your shoulders and hips sink in slightly more while your back stays supported.
- Standard foam. A polyurethane foam layer at 33 kg/m3 density that cushions you from the springs. It's a simple comfort layer, so expect gentle padding rather than the deep hug of memory foam.
- Stiff felt. A firm felt layer that protects the springs and adds structure. You won't feel it directly, but it helps the mattress keep its shape.

- A full 90cm each: Two adults get 90cm of width apiece, which means you can turn over or stretch out without meeting your partner's elbow halfway across.
- Distance plus independent springs: The extra width keeps a restless sleeper further away, and the independently moving pocket springs mean the movements that do reach you arrive muted.
- Room for a small visitor: When a child wanders in after a bad dream, there is enough width to make space without either adult ending up clinging to the edge.
- More width than the UK king, same length: The UK super king is 30cm wider than the UK king at the same length, giving each of two sleepers 15cm more without pushing the bed further into the room.
- Suits a large bedroom: In a generous master bedroom or a high-ceilinged period room, a 6ft wide bed sits in proportion where a smaller one can look a little lost.
This size suits you if...
You share with a partner whose tossing and turning wakes you, your children or a large dog regularly end up in the bed with you, or your bedroom is at least 3m x 2.9m and you would like both sleepers to have a full 90cm each.
Consider another size if...
Your bedroom falls short of our suggested 3m x 2.9m, or you sleep alone. We'd recommend the UK king instead, for which we suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m.

Is the Ikea Valevag super king big enough for two adults and a child?
For occasional visits, yes. Two adults get 90cm each on the UK super king, so a small child can squeeze in between without anyone being pushed to the very edge. Night after night it will feel busier, but it remains the most generous mainstream option for a family bed.
How much more space does the Ikea Valevag super king give than the king?
The UK super king is 30cm wider than the UK king, and both are 200cm long. For two people sharing, that means 90cm each on the UK super king against 75cm each on the UK king, so each of you gains 15cm of width.
Will a restless partner still wake me on a Valevag super king?
Far less often than on a smaller size. You each get 90cm, so there is real distance between you, and the 249 pocket springs per square metre compress independently, which means a partner's movement travels less across the mattress. A very heavy turner may still be felt occasionally, but only faintly.
Can a large dog share an Ikea Valevag super king comfortably?
A large dog is far easier to accommodate on the UK super king than on smaller sizes, because two adults start with 90cm each rather than already sharing tightly. The dog will still take up some of that width. The medium firm feel also means the mattress won't sag noticeably where it curls up.
Will the Ikea Valevag super king fit in a loft conversion bedroom?
That depends on floor space and where the roof slopes. We suggest a room of at least 3m x 2.9m for a UK super king, with around 3.5m x 3.2m feeling comfortable. In a loft room, the sloping ceiling usually decides which wall the headboard goes against, so measure the full-height wall before buying.
