Layer Details
- Bonded British fleece wool and cotton. The top layer combines bonded British fleece wool with cotton, which means a naturally soft, breathable surface directly beneath you. Wool also helps regulate temperature through the night.
- Horsehair. Beneath the wool sits a layer of horsehair, a traditional filling that acts like thousands of tiny springs. It gives natural bounce and lets air move freely through the mattress.
- Blended British fleece wool and cotton. A second wool and cotton layer, this time blended, adds a supportive cushion between the fillings above and the springs below. It smooths the transition so you feel comfort rather than coils.
- Hand-nested calico pocket springs. The core is 1,476 vanadium steel pocket springs, each in its own calico pocket, hand-nested in a single layer. Because each spring moves independently, the mattress follows the shape of your body and keeps movement on one side from disturbing the other.

- 90cm each for two: Each of you gets 90cm of width, which means you can turn over or stretch out without meeting your partner halfway across the bed.
- Distance plus independent springs: The individually pocketed springs limit movement travelling across the bed, and the extra width on a UK super king puts more physical space between you and a restless partner.
- Room for a small visitor: When a child pads in during the night, the UK super king leaves enough width that the two adults are less likely to end up clinging to the edges.
- Full 200cm length: At 200cm long, the UK super king suits taller sleepers who find their feet reaching the end of a UK double, which is 10cm shorter.
- Cooler with more bodies in bed: Wool, cotton and horsehair let air move through the mattress, which helps when a partner, child or dog adds extra warmth to a shared bed.
This size suits you if...
You share with a partner who kicks, turns or gets up often, and you want real distance between you. It also fits if children or a large dog regularly end up in bed with you, or your master bedroom is large enough that a UK king would look a little lost in it.
Consider another size if...
Your bedroom is smaller than our suggested 3m x 2.9m, or the landing and doorways are tight. We'd recommend the UK king instead, which needs at least 2.7m x 2.9m.

Is the Vispring Herald Superb UK super king big enough for two adults and a child?
It gives two adults 90cm each across 180 x 200cm, so an occasional small child can fit in without anyone being pushed to the edge. If a child joins you every night, the UK super king is the most generous option in this range, and the natural fillings help the bed stay comfortable as it warms up.
How much bigger is the Vispring Herald Superb UK super king than the UK king?
The UK super king is 30cm wider than the UK king and the same 200cm length. For two people sharing, that works out as 15cm more each. We suggest at least 3m x 2.9m for the UK super king, compared with at least 2.7m x 2.9m for the UK king.
Will a UK super king Vispring Herald Superb fit in a loft conversion bedroom?
Floor area alone won't tell you. In a loft conversion the sloping ceiling usually decides which wall the headboard can go against, so measure the usable floor where you can stand upright. We suggest at least 3m x 2.9m for a UK super king, and check the stair turns before ordering.
Does a restless partner disturb you less on the Vispring Herald Superb super king?
Usually, yes. The pocket springs move independently whatever the size, but the UK super king adds physical distance, with 90cm each instead of the 75cm each a UK king gives. With a genuinely restless partner, that extra space often matters more than any comfort layer.
Is the Vispring Herald Superb in a UK super king long enough for tall people?
At 200cm (6ft 6in), the UK super king is 10cm longer than the UK double, so taller sleepers are less likely to find their feet at the end. It is the same length as the UK king, so size up to the UK super king for extra width rather than length.
