Layer Details
- Fillings. Bonded British fleece wool and cotton, horsehair, then blended British fleece wool and cotton. These natural fillings breathe and manage moisture well, which means a cooler, drier feel through the night than synthetic alternatives.
- Springs. 1476 vanadium steel, six-turn pocket springs in the king size, each sewn into its own calico pocket. Because every spring moves independently, you get pressure relief where you need it and less disturbance from a partner shifting position.
- Cover. Finest quality ticking. A durable woven cover that lets the natural fillings breathe.

- Distance from a restless partner: You each get 90cm, which means a fidgeting partner's movements have more mattress to cross before they reach your side of this soft surface.
- Room when the household piles in: A child arriving at 3am or a large dog settling at your feet takes up space you can spare, so the adults still keep a proper share.
- Wider than a king, no longer: The UK super king is 30cm wider than the UK king at the same length, giving each of you 15cm more across rather than extra legroom.
- In proportion with a big room: In a period bedroom with high ceilings or a generous master suite, the UK super king fills the floor properly where a smaller bed can look a little lost.
- A two-person job to turn: Seasonal turning matters for the natural fillings, and at 180 x 200cm you will want someone on the other side to lift and rotate it.
This size suits you if...
You share with a partner whose restlessness keeps waking you, children or a large dog regularly end up in the bed with you, or your bedroom comfortably clears our suggested minimum of 3m x 2.9m.
Consider another size if...
Your bedroom falls short of our suggested 3m x 2.9m, or a tight landing turn and door swing leave little clear floor. We'd recommend the UK king instead, which needs at least 2.7m x 2.9m.

Is a Vispring Herald Superb super king big enough for two adults and a child?
For occasional visits, yes. You each start with 90cm, so a small child tucked between you still leaves the adults a usable strip. Because the Herald Superb is soft, everyone sinks a little into their own spot rather than rolling together, although nightly co-sleeping with an older child will feel snug on any size.
Vispring Herald Superb super king or king: which should I choose?
The UK super king is 30cm wider than the UK king and the same length, giving each sleeper 15cm more width. Choose the UK super king if a partner's movement or regular company in the bed is the problem. If your room is tighter, we suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m for the UK king instead.
How hard is it to turn a Vispring Herald Superb super king?
Harder than the smaller sizes, simply because there is more of it: 180 x 200cm of natural fillings and pocket springs. The mattress needs turning seasonally to perform at its best, so plan on two people, one at each side, and clear space around the bed before you start.
Will I feel my partner move on a soft super king mattress?
Much less than on a narrower bed. The pocket springs move independently, which reduces how far movement travels, and the UK super king adds physical distance with 90cm each. A soft surface lets you settle into your own side, so for a genuinely restless partner the extra width does more of the work than the comfort layers.
Can a Herald Superb super king fit a loft conversion bedroom?
Only if the room clears our suggested 3m x 2.9m and a wall with full height can take the headboard. The sloping ceiling usually decides where the bed goes. Allow for the height too: the mattress is 21cm deep plus around 6cm of doming, so check you can sit up comfortably on that side.
