Layer Details
Bonded British fleece wool and cotton
A layer of bonded British fleece wool and cotton sits closest to you. These natural fillings breathe well and help keep the sleep surface at a comfortable temperature.
Horsehair layer
Horsehair provides natural bounce and breathability. It springs back readily, which means the surface recovers quickly when you move rather than leaving an impression.
Blended British fleece wool and cotton
A further layer of blended British fleece wool and cotton adds cushioning above the springs. It helps distribute your weight evenly across the spring unit.
Spring system
The support comes from 1,476 vanadium steel pocket springs, hand-nested in calico and arranged in a single layer. Nesting the springs by hand packs them closely together, so support follows the shape of your body more precisely.

Key benefits
- A single mattress of room each: Sharing the UK super king gives each of you 90cm, which means you can turn over or stretch out without meeting your partner halfway.
- More room than the UK king: The UK super king is 30cm wider than the UK king at the same length, so each sleeper gains 15cm of width and no extra length.
- Distance helps with a restless partner: Pocket springs move independently, and at 90cm each there is also more physical distance between you, which a comfort layer on its own cannot give you.
- Space when the household piles in: If a child arrives at 3am or a large dog sleeps on the bed every night, the extra width means the adults still keep a usable share.
- Proportions that suit a big room: In a spacious period bedroom or a large master suite, a UK king can look slightly lost, while the UK super king fills the wall more convincingly.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night with someone who fidgets, kicks or gets up early, or children and pets regularly end up between you. It also suits you if your bedroom comfortably clears our suggested minimum of 3m x 2.9m and you want the Herald Superb's natural fillings with the most sleeping width Vispring offers in this model.
Consider another size if...
Your bedroom is under 3m x 2.9m, or a 180cm-wide mattress would crowd the door and bedside tables. We'd recommend the UK king instead, and we suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m for it.

FAQ's
Vispring Herald Superb UK super king or UK king: which should I choose?
Both are 200cm long, so the difference is width alone. The UK super king is 30cm wider, giving each sleeper 15cm more than the UK king's 75cm. If you sleep well together already, the UK king may be enough. If one of you is restless, the extra width in the UK super king is the more reliable fix.
Is a Vispring Herald Superb super king big enough for two adults and a child?
With 90cm each for two adults, a small child who wanders in overnight can usually fit without anyone clinging to the edge. It will feel snug rather than generous with three, but far less cramped than a narrower bed. If it happens most nights, the UK super king is the sensible choice in this model.
What size bedroom does a Vispring Herald Superb super king need?
We suggest allowing at least 3m x 2.9m for a UK super king, so you can still walk round the bed and open wardrobe doors. In a loft conversion, check the ceiling slope first, as it often decides which wall the bed goes on. The mattress is 21cm deep plus around 6cm of doming, which affects headroom under low ceilings.
How do I check a Vispring Herald Superb UK super king will get into my bedroom?
Measure every doorway, the tightest landing turn and the space the bedroom door needs to swing open, then compare them with the 180 x 200cm footprint. Old staircases with a sharp bend are the usual problem. Vispring's own guidance on access is worth reading before you order, as a handmade spring mattress cannot be folded like foam.
Will a restless partner disturb me on a Vispring Herald Superb super king?
Much less than on a smaller bed. The hand-nested pocket springs respond individually, so movement on one side travels less to the other, and the UK super king adds 90cm of width each on top of that. Across both effects, a partner who turns often should be far easier to sleep beside than on a UK king.
