Why choose a super king pocket sprung mattress?
A super king pocket sprung mattress combines generous sleeping space with responsive, individual support. Each spring moves independently to contour to your body and help reduce pressure where you need it most.
The separate springs can also limit movement across the mattress, so you’re less likely to disturb your partner during the night. It’s an excellent choice for couples who want plenty of room to stretch out without compromising on support.
How to choose the right super king pocket sprung mattress
Upgrade to a super king pocket-sprung mattress when you want more room, stronger shared support and a bed that feels built for two. These mattresses give each sleeper generous personal space, while individually wrapped springs respond separately to your weight and movement, helping reduce roll-together and partner disturbance.
Start by choosing the firmness and comfort layers you’ll both enjoy, then compare spring count, edge support, mattress depth and fillings. Look for reinforced edges if you want to use more of the full width, or deeper comfort layers for a more luxurious finish.
Understanding spring counts: Is 1,000, 2,000 or 3,000+ right for you?
Spring count tells you how many individual springs are used within the mattress, but the number can include different types of springs. Standard pocket springs form the main support unit, while luxury models may add smaller micro or HD springs in extra layers to create a more responsive, refined feel.
As a guide:
Around 1,000 standard pocket springs: dependable everyday support at a more accessible price
Around 2,000 springs: often offers a more substantial feel, particularly when paired with deeper comfort layers
- 3,000 springs or more: may combine standard pocket springs with layers of micro or HD springs for more finely tuned cushioning and responsiveness

Buying guidance for super king pocket sprung mattresses
A super king pocket-sprung mattress measures 180cm x 200cm, giving couples far more room to stretch out. It’s a great upgrade for a larger bedroom, especially if you want more personal space without sacrificing shared comfort.
Mattress size | Dimensions | Good for |
Double | 135cm x 190cm | Smaller rooms, guest rooms and solo sleepers |
King size | 150cm x 200cm | Couples, taller sleepers and main bedrooms |
Super king | 180cm x 200cm | Larger rooms and maximum shared space |
Inside, each spring is individually wrapped and moves independently. This allows the mattress to respond separately to each sleeper, helping reduce roll-together and limit movement travelling across the bed.
Do you need more room to sleep without disturbing each other?
If one of you is a light sleeper, changes position often or keeps different hours, motion isolation should be high on your shopping list. Pocket springs react only where pressure is applied, so movement is less likely to ripple across the mattress than it would through a connected spring unit.
This can make a real difference when your partner turns over, gets up during the night or settles into bed later than you. Compare models with substantial comfort layers as well as independent pocket springs, as these can further soften movement and create a more settled surface for both sleepers.

Martin Seeley, Product Expert at MattressNextDay, answers questions about super king pocket sprung mattresses.
Pocket springs vs memory foam: Which is best for a super king bed?
| Pocket sprung | Memory foam | Hybrid |
Feel | Easier to move on | Closer and more cushioned | Balanced support and comfort |
Support | Individual springs | Foam comfort layers | Springs with added cushioning |
Partner movement | Helps reduce movement travelling across the bed | Absorbs movement well | Depends on construction |
Airflow | More airflow through the spring structure | Can feel denser | Varies by materials |
May suit you if | You want a steadier, more traditional feel | You like a body-hugging feel | You want springs with foam comfort |
Synthetic fillings can give deeper cushioning, easy-care comfort and excellent value, with gel-infused foams providing a cooler alternative to traditional memory foam.
Should I choose a zip and link super king pocket sprung mattress?
A zip and link super king gives you the generous width of a super king mattress with added flexibility. Two separate mattress sections fasten together to create one large sleeping surface, making them easier to move through narrow hallways, around staircases and into bedrooms where a full-size mattress may be difficult to manoeuvre.
Standard super king | Zip and link super king |
One complete mattress | Two sections joined together |
Consistent firmness across the bed | Different firmness levels may be available on each side |
Best for a permanent shared setup | Can be separated when your room needs change |
May be harder to move through tight spaces | Easier to carry and position in the bedroom |
How much should I spend on a super king pocket sprung mattress?
We stock super king pocket-sprung mattresses at a variety of prices, covering everything from dependable everyday support to deeper, more luxurious designs with advanced spring systems and premium fillings.
What you can expect at different price points:
Entry-level models can provide reliable pocket-sprung support at a more accessible price.
Mid-range mattresses often add deeper comfort layers, stronger edge support or higher spring counts for everyday use.
Higher-priced designs may include natural fillings, micro or HD springs and more substantial comfort layers.
British-designed construction and extended warranties aren’t limited to the top end of the range. Many MattressNextDay models include warranties lasting 5, 10 or more years.
Do I need to make room for my super king pocket sprung mattress delivery?
A super king pocket-sprung mattress is generously sized, so check the full route to your bedroom before you order. Measure:
Your front door and hallway
Staircases, landings and tight turns
Bedroom doorways
Lifts or communal entrances, if relevant
Clear the route before delivery day and check whether room-of-choice delivery is available for your mattress. This makes it easier to get your new super king into position without handling the heavy lifting yourself.
Will a super king pocket-sprung mattress fit in my bedroom?
A super king mattress measures 180cm x 200cm, although the complete bed frame may be slightly wider and longer. MattressNextDay recommends leaving around 60cm of walking space around the sides and foot of the bed where possible, so you can move comfortably and open doors, wardrobes or storage drawers.
Before ordering, mark the bed’s complete dimensions on the floor with masking tape. This will give you a clearer idea of how much space your new super king setup will use.
What bed base should I use with a super king pocket-sprung mattress?
Choose a sturdy 180cm x 200cm base that supports the mattress evenly across its full width. A platform-top divan creates a firmer, steadier foundation, while a sprung divan can add extra cushioning and responsiveness.
Pocket-sprung mattresses can also work well on slatted frames. Solid slats offer consistent support, while sprung slats add more flexibility. Make sure the frame has strong central support and check the mattress manufacturer’s maximum slat-gap guidance before buying.
Can MattressNextDay deliver a super king mattress to my bedroom?
Yes. You can make delivery day easier with our room of choice upgrade, available on eligible orders. Select it at checkout and the delivery team will carry your super king mattress to an accessible bedroom, saving you from handling a large, heavy mattress yourself. Simply measure the route in advance and clear any furniture or breakable items before they arrive.
Free next day delivery is available to the front door or ground floor on eligible in-stock mattresses. You can also add old mattress removal at checkout, so your previous super king is collected when the new one arrives and your bedroom upgrade is taken care of in one visit.
