Layer Details
Pocket springs
Six-coil vanadium steel springs, hand nested in calico. Each spring works on its own, so the base supports you where you lie and the mattress responds as you move.
Natural fillings
Layers of natural fillings, including Platinum Certified British fleece wool and cotton. These add cushioning over the springs, and natural fibres tend to feel breathable, though this is a traditional build rather than a cooling one.
Wool protector pad
A wool protector pad sits on top for extra comfort. It gives the surface a soft, natural finish between you and the fillings underneath.

Key benefits
- A single's width each: With 90cm each for two people sharing, you each get the full width of a UK single to yourself, so a stray knee rarely crosses into your half.
- Distance plus independent springs: Pocket springs move on their own, which means a partner turning over sends less movement your way, and the extra 15cm each over the UK king puts them further off.
- Room for night-time visitors: If a child climbs in after a bad dream or a large dog sleeps across the foot, 180cm of width means nobody ends up clinging to the edge.
- The gain is all in width: The UK super king is the same length as the UK king, so stepping up changes how much side-to-side space you get rather than legroom.
- In proportion with a big room: In a high-ceilinged period bedroom or a large master, a UK king can look slightly lost, and the UK super king fills the space more comfortably.
This size suits you if...
You share with a partner who tosses and turns, or children and a dog regularly end up in the bed with you, and your bedroom clears our suggested minimum of 3m x 2.9m.
Consider another size if...
Your bedroom falls short of 3m x 2.9m, or you and your partner sleep still and don't mind being close. We'd recommend the UK king instead, for which we suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m.

FAQ's
Is the Vispring Traditional Pocket Sprung UK super king good if my partner is restless?
It's a sensible pairing. The pocket springs move independently, so a partner's turning is less likely to travel across the bed, and the UK super king gives 90cm each for two sharing. That's 15cm more each than the UK king, so there's physically more distance between you before any movement reaches your side.
Vispring Traditional Pocket Sprung super king or king for a couple?
The UK super king is 30cm wider than the UK king, and the two are the same length. You get 90cm each rather than 75cm. The trade-off is room size: we suggest at least 3m x 2.9m for the UK super king and at least 2.7m x 2.9m for the UK king.
Is a UK super king big enough when the kids come into bed?
For most families it's the size that copes best. At 180cm wide, a young child between two adults still leaves everyone a share of the mattress, and the same goes for a large dog that sleeps at your feet as a matter of routine. A smaller bed tends to push one adult out first.
Will a UK super king 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 sit against, and you'll want to be able to sit up without hitting the roof. Measure the usable floor with full head height, then check it against our suggested minimum of 3m x 2.9m.
How much more space is a Vispring UK super king than a UK double?
The UK super king is 45cm wider and 10cm longer than the UK double. For two sharing, the UK double gives 67.5cm each, so the UK super king gives 22.5cm more each. It needs more floor space too: we suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m for the UK double against 3m x 2.9m for the UK super king.
