Layer Details
- Surface upholstery. Blended British fleece wool and cotton sit directly beneath the ticking, which means a naturally soft, breathable sleeping surface. Wool also helps manage moisture and temperature through the night.
- Comfort layer. A layer of bonded wool provides consistent comfort throughout the night. Bonding the wool helps the filling keep its shape rather than settling unevenly.
- Spring system. A hand-nested calico pocket spring unit with 1,254 vanadium steel springs in a single layer, a count specified for the King size. Each spring works independently, which means balanced support and less disturbance when a partner moves.

- 90cm each for two sharing: With 90cm of width per sleeper, a partner who turns over all night sits far enough away that their movement is much less likely to reach you.
- 15cm more each than the UK king: At the same length as the UK king, the UK super king adds 15cm to each side, which often decides whether elbows meet during the night.
- Springs that move separately: Each spring responds on its own, so a child clambering in on one side at 3am is less likely to jolt the adult asleep on the other.
- Room at the foot for a dog: A large dog stretched across the bottom of a 180cm wide bed takes a smaller share of your space than it would on a narrower mattress.
- Breathable surface for a busy bed: The wool and cotton upholstery helps move heat and moisture away, which is helpful when two adults, a child and a pet all share the one bed.
This size suits you if...
You share with a partner whose tossing and turning keeps waking you, or small children and a dog regularly end up in your bed, and your bedroom comfortably clears our suggested minimum of 3m x 2.9m.
Consider another size if...
Your room falls short of 3m x 2.9m, or the bed is rarely shared by anyone beyond two adults. We'd recommend the UK king instead, and we suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m for it.

Vispring Elite super king vs 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 90cm each on the UK super king against 75cm each on the UK king, so each of you gains 15cm. Your room needs to grow too: we suggest at least 3m x 2.9m for the UK super king.
Is a UK super king Vispring Elite big enough for two adults and a child?
For a child who wanders in during the night, yes, most of the time. Two adults on the UK super king start with 90cm each, so a small child in the middle eats into that without leaving anyone clinging to the edge. If it happens every night and the child is growing, expect it to feel a little crowded eventually.
Will a Vispring Elite super king fit in a loft conversion bedroom?
Allow at least 3m x 2.9m for a UK super king, with around 3.5m x 3.2m feeling right. In a loft conversion, the slope usually dictates which wall the headboard goes against, so measure the floor where you have standing height along both sides. You need to get in and out comfortably, and a bed tucked under the slope makes that awkward.
Does a restless partner disturb you less on a super king than a double?
Usually, yes. The springs move independently on every size of the Vispring Elite, but the UK super king adds distance. It is 45cm wider than the UK double, giving 90cm each instead of 67.5cm, which is 22.5cm more space between you and someone who kicks or turns over repeatedly.
Is the UK super king the largest Vispring Elite you can buy?
Yes. The Vispring Elite is listed in a UK double, UK king and UK super king, so at 180 x 200cm the UK super king is the biggest option. There is no larger size of this mattress, so if a UK super king still feels short on space, you would need to look beyond this model.
