Layer Details
Spring layer
Hand-nested calico pocket springs, 1476 of them in the 150 x 200cm size, each sewn into its own calico pocket. This means the springs move independently, so you feel support where you need it and less disturbance from a partner shifting about.
Upholstery
Exclusively natural fillings: a British fleece wool spring protector pad, bonded British fleece wool and cotton, horsehair, and blended British fleece wool and cotton. Wool and horsehair breathe and wick moisture, which means a cooler, drier sleep than most foam-heavy mattresses can manage.
Ticking and finishing
Finest quality ticking, hand tufted with felt washers. Tufting holds the fillings firmly in place, so the mattress keeps its shape rather than shifting and lumping over the years.
Borders
Borders upholstered with protective wool, finished with two rows of hand side-stitching, horizontal handles and air vents. The side-stitching links the border to the springs, giving you firm edge support, while the vents let air move through the natural fillings.

Key benefits
- A single's width each: Two people sharing get 90cm each, which means each of you has roughly the width of a UK single rather than a narrow strip of shared mattress.
- Distance from a restless partner: Each calico spring is sewn into its own pocket, so movement travels less, and the extra width puts more physical space between you and someone who fidgets.
- Room when the household joins in: If a child wanders in overnight or a large dog sleeps on the bed as a matter of routine, the adults still keep a usable share of the mattress.
- Edges you can use: Two rows of hand side-stitching firm up the borders, so sleeping near the side feels secure and the full width of the bed stays usable.
- Proportion in a bigger room: In a period property or a generous master bedroom, a UK king can look a little lost, whereas a bedstead with a UK super king fills the space properly.
- Cooler with extra bodies: Wool and horsehair breathe and wick moisture, which helps when a child or dog adds warmth to the bed on a busy night.
This size suits you if...
You share with a partner whose tossing and turning wakes you, children or a large dog regularly end up in the bed, and your bedroom comfortably clears our suggested minimum of 3m x 2.9m.
Consider another size if...
Your room is smaller than 3m x 2.9m, or you and your partner sleep still and rarely have company. We'd recommend the UK king instead, which needs at least 2.7m x 2.9m.

FAQ's
Is a Vispring super king big enough for two adults and a child?
For occasional visits, usually yes. Two adults sharing a UK super king get 90cm each, so a small child can squeeze into the middle without anyone clinging to the edge. The hand side-stitched borders help here, because the outer edges stay supportive when the adults are pushed towards them. If you co-sleep with a child every night, it is still a snug fit.
Vispring Bedstead Supreme UK super king vs UK king: how much extra space do you get?
The UK super king is 30cm wider than the UK king and the same length. For two people sharing, that works out at 15cm more each, with 90cm per person against 75cm. If a restless partner is your main problem, that extra distance usually helps more than any change in comfort layers could.
Does the firm Vispring super king help if my partner is a restless sleeper?
The firm spring tension is buoyant rather than sinking, and each spring moves independently, so a partner shifting about disturbs you less than on a single-unit spring. In a UK super king you also get 90cm each, which means more space between you. Width and independent springs working together tend to help light sleepers most.
Will a UK super king Vispring fit in a loft conversion bedroom?
It depends on the usable floor space, not the total area. We suggest at least 3m x 2.9m for a UK super king, and around 3.5m x 3.2m feels comfortable. In a loft room the sloping ceiling usually decides which wall the headboard goes against, so measure where you can stand upright before you commit.
What should I check before ordering a super king Vispring for an older house?
Measure the door swing, landing turns and any tight stair bends, because a 180cm wide mattress with a firm hand-stitched border is harder to manoeuvre than smaller sizes. Vispring doesn't publish a weight for this size, so check the brand's own guidance on access before buying. Also budget for UK super king sheets and a 260 x 220cm duvet.
