Super King Mattresses

What size is a super king mattress?

A super king size mattress is 6 feet 6 inches long by 6 feet wide (size of super king size in cm: 180cm by 200cm) and is the largest standard mattress size available here in the UK.

If you’ve got plenty of floor space in your bedroom, then a super king size bed with a mattress could be the perfect statement piece for your master suite. And it’s perfect for two people who share a bed as there is plenty of room in there for you to both spread out comfortably – like starfish, if you wish – during the night.

What is the best super king size mattress?

It might surprise you to learn that there is no “best” super king mattress. Different types of sleepers have different needs. And the best king size mattress for you will be the one that most closely meets your needs, wants and preferences.

Before you choose your new mattress, you’ll need to consider your own sleeping position to help you decide what firmness rating you need.

You’ll also need to think about which type of mattress you prefer. Super king size pocket sprung mattresses are great for couples as they contain individual springs which are each encased in their own pocket. This means the springs move individually, rather than as a whole unit (as with traditional open coil mattresses) which means that there is very little motion transfer - so your partner won’t disturb you when they roll over in the night – and we all know the grumpiness this can cause!

Which super king size mattress comfort rating is right for me?

When considering which super king size mattress is right for you, you’ll need to decide not on the type of mattress but also its comfort rating.

At Bensons for Beds, we offer super king mattresses in a range of comfort ratings including soft, medium, firm and extra firm. To find out which mattress firmness is ideal for you, we highly recommend popping into a Bensons for Beds store to try out SleepPro.

How much does a super king mattress weigh?

The precise weight of a super king mattress will differ from one to the next as it varies depending on the materials it’s made from. As a general rule, you can expect a super king size mattress to weigh between 130 and 180 pounds (around 59kg – 82kg).

You should expect a deeper mattress to be heavier while super king memory foam mattresses are usually lighter than other types of mattresses.

If weight is important to you, perhaps in terms of the total weight your bed frame can accommodate, then be sure to check the product page for the exact dimensions of the mattress.

How much is a super king size mattress?

The price of super king size mattresses varies depending on the type and brand. Here at Bensons for Beds, our mattresses start at around £250 and go up to £5,000. So, there really is something to suit every budget.

Can I use my new super king size mattress straight away?

We know you’ll be super excited to get your new mattress and that you’ll want to get comfy on it straight away. However, some mattresses may say on the label that they advise you not to use them for the first 24 hours after delivery.

You’ll frequently find this with super king size memory foam mattresses, which are often transported compressed in a small box. This simply means that it will need time to fully expand. By waiting 24 hours, you won’t damage the foam as it expands and you will feel the full benefit of its support.

Of course, this is not the case with all mattresses - some are fine to use straight away. Just be sure to check the label first.

What type of super king mattress should I buy?

Different types of sleepers look for different qualities in a mattress. And at Bensons, we’ve got an option for everyone. Here are some examples of the different super king mattresses we have available:

Super king orthopaedic mattresses: A super king orthopaedic mattress is ideal for anyone who regularly wakes with aches and pains. Whether you suffer from back or neck pain, or prefer a firm mattress as you sleep on your tummy or your back, or even just because, a super king size orthopaedic mattress could be a good pick for you.

Super king memory foam mattresses: If you love the conforming nature of memory foam, a super king memory foam mattress could be just what you need to get a good night’s sleep. Mattresses made of memory foam offer a personalised feel and excellent pressure relief. Memory foam is also great at reducing motion transfer so could be a winner if you or your bed partner are regularly woken during the night by movement from your co-sleeper.

Super king pocket spring mattresses: For hot sleepers, those who move around a lot in their sleep, and anyone looking for consistent support who’s shopping for a super king mattress, pocket sprung is ideal. These individually wrapped springs enhance air flow in the mattress which helps prevent heat from building up. They’re also extremely responsive while minimising the risk of motion transfer too. Win-win!

Super king hybrid mattresses: A super king hybrid mattress is a bit like having the best of both worlds. This type of mattress combines springs and foam (usually memory foam) to deliver consistent support, comfort-assured cushioning, and a sleep surface that helps to diffuse heat.

Super king zip and link mattresses: Do you and your partner have different wants and needs when it comes to sleep? A zip link super king mattress could be just what you need to ensure you both benefit for a great night’s sleep. Zip and link mattresses are essentially two mattresses that you can zip together to form one mattress two people can sleep on comfortable. This allows two individuals to choose different comfort ratings (or firmness ratings) within the same mattress wherever necessary.

Super king latex mattresses: If you’re a tend to get too hot when you’re sleeping, or suffer from allergies, a super king latex mattress could be ideal. Discover why in our informative Latex Mattress Buying Guide.

Super king coil sprung mattresses: Opposed to pocket sprung mattresses, traditional open coil mattresses are packed with hundreds of individual coils that aren’t individually wrapped. These mattresses are usually the most budget-friendly option.

Super king rolled up mattresses: A super king rolled mattress (or a super king bed in a box, if you prefer) is a great option for anyone living in apartments, flats, or multi-storey buildings. Basically, wherever navigating from the front door of the building to the front door of your home is difficult to do, buying a rolled mattress could be a wise idea. These mattresses are delivered rolled up for ultimate manoeuvrability.

And that’s not all. We also have super king mattresses in our eco-friendly collection, our Mattresses under £500 range, and our award-winning mattresses round up too.
