Layer Details
British fleece wool and hand-teased Real Shetland wool upholstery
The comfort layers are made exclusively from natural fillings, British fleece wool and hand-teased Real Shetland wool, encased in a wool worsted ticking. Wool regulates temperature naturally, which means the sleep surface stays drier and cooler than synthetic fillings tend to.
Hand-nested calico pocket spring construction
A one-layer arrangement of hand-nested calico pocket springs, 1,720 of them in the 150 x 200cm size, each hand-crafted from vanadium steel. Because the springs are nested by hand rather than glued in rows, they flex independently, which means better contouring and less motion transfer from a partner.

Key benefits
- 90cm each for two sharing: The UK super king gives each sleeper 90cm, which is 15cm more each than the UK king, so a partner who turns over repeatedly stays further from you.
- Distance plus independent springs: Hand-nested calico pockets flex on their own, and at this width that is paired with real distance, which means a fidgety partner's movement rarely reaches your side.
- Room for the whole household: At 6ft x 6ft 6in, a child arriving after a bad dream or a large dog settling at the foot takes a share without squeezing either adult to the edge.
- Proportioned for larger rooms: In a spacious period bedroom or a generous master, a UK king can look slightly lost, while the UK super king fills the space in proportion.
- Wool that stays breathable across a wide bed: The British fleece and Real Shetland wool upholstery lets moisture escape, which helps when a child or pet adds body heat to the middle of the bed.
This size suits you if...
You share with a partner who tosses and turns, or young children and a dog regularly end up in the bed with you, and your bedroom comfortably clears our suggested minimum of 3m x 2.9m.
Consider another size if...
Your bedroom falls short of 3m x 2.9m, or a sloping loft ceiling leaves only a narrow wall. We'd recommend the UK king instead, which needs at least 2.7m x 2.9m.

FAQ's
How much space does each person get on the Vispring Shetland UK super king?
Two people sharing get 90cm each on the UK super king. That is 15cm more each than the UK king and 22.5cm more each than the UK double, which is the difference between feeling a restless partner every night and barely noticing them.
Should I get the Vispring Shetland in a UK king or UK super king?
The UK super king is 30cm wider than the UK king, and the two are the same length, so you gain width only. Choose the UK super king if you sleep with a restless partner, children or pets and have at least 3m x 2.9m. For a room nearer 2.7m x 2.9m, the UK king is the better fit.
Is a Vispring Shetland super king big enough for two adults and a child?
For a child who climbs in part way through the night, yes, usually. The 180cm width means everyone keeps some space, although a slightly older child sleeping in the bed routinely will still take a noticeable share. Large dogs at the foot are easier, since the bed is 200cm long.
Will a Vispring Shetland super king work in a loft conversion bedroom?
It can, provided the room meets our suggested minimum of 3m x 2.9m and the headboard wall has enough full height. In a loft conversion the slope usually decides where the bed goes. Measure the usable floor area rather than the total, and check the door swings clear of the bed's corner.
Does a restless partner disturb you less on the Vispring Shetland super king?
Generally, yes. The hand-nested pocket springs move independently, which limits how far movement travels, and the UK super king adds 90cm of personal width each. Across the two, a partner who shifts through the night is far less likely to wake you than on the UK king or UK double.
