Layer Details
- Upholstery. Entirely natural fillings of bonded and blended British fleece wool and cotton, encased in high-quality ticking, which means good breathability and a softer, more forgiving surface than synthetic alternatives. It is hand-tufted with felt washers, so the fillings are anchored in place and far less likely to shift or lump over time.
- Springs. A single layer of 1,558 hand-nested vanadium steel pocket springs in calico pockets, counted on the King size model. Each spring works independently, which means the mattress responds to your shape and reduces the ripple of movement from a partner turning over.
Layer details from vispring.com product page, September 2026.
- 90cm each for two sharing: Each of you gets 90cm, which means you can stretch out and turn over without meeting your partner halfway across the mattress.
- 15cm more each than a UK king: The UK king gives 75cm each, so moving up to the UK super king buys you 15cm more personal space on both sides of the bed.
- Distance plus independent springs: Each calico-pocketed spring moves on its own, and at this width a fidgety sleeper is also physically further away from you.
- Space for children and pets: When a small child or the family dog climbs in, the UK super king leaves the adults a proper share rather than a narrow edge.
- Soft feel across a wide surface: The Soft tension cushions you gently, which means lighter sleepers on either side can sink into the wool comfort layers rather than lying on top of them.
- Suits a generous master bedroom: In a period property or large master bedroom, a UK king can look a little lost, while the UK super king fills the room in proportion.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed with a partner who kicks, turns or gets up often and you want real distance between you, or your children and dog regularly end up in the bed by morning. It also fits you if your bedroom meets our suggested minimum of 3m x 2.9m.
Consider another size if...
Your room is under 3m x 2.9m, or doors and landings are tight. We'd recommend the UK king instead, which gives 75cm each; allow at least 2.7m x 2.9m.

How much more space does the Vispring Dartington Soft UK super king give than the UK king?
The UK super king is 30cm wider than the UK king, and the two are the same length. For a couple, that works out at 90cm each on the UK super king against 75cm each on the UK king, so each of you gains 15cm of personal space.
Is the Dartington Soft in UK super king good if my partner is a restless sleeper?
It is a good pairing. The pocket springs move independently, so movement travels less across the surface, and the UK super king adds physical distance on top with 90cm each. Distance often helps more than any comfort layer, which is why disturbed sleepers tend to size up to the UK super king.
Is a UK super king Dartington longer than a UK king?
No. The UK super king and the UK king are both 200cm long, so taller sleepers gain no extra legroom by moving up. The difference is width alone: the UK super king is 30cm wider. If length is your main concern, the UK king already gives you the same 200cm.
Will a Vispring Dartington UK super king fit in a loft conversion bedroom?
Check the full-height floor area, not the total floor. We suggest at least 3m x 2.9m for the UK super king, with around 3.5m x 3.2m feeling comfortable. Under a sloping ceiling, the slope usually decides which wall the headboard can go against, so measure standing room on both sides before ordering.
Can two adults, a child and a dog share a Dartington Soft UK super king?
The UK super king is the size families choose when children or pets join in, and 180cm of width leaves adults a fair share. Bear in mind this is the Soft tension, so a heavier dog settled in one spot will sink in more than on a firmer version.
