Frequently Asked Questions
What size is a 6ft super king memory foam mattress?
A 6ft super king measures 180 x 200cm, making it one of the largest sizes sold for UK homes. Measure your bedroom and frame to be sure there is space, as it is noticeably wider than a standard king.
Who should choose a super king memory foam mattress?
It suits couples who want plenty of personal space, light sleepers who dislike disturbance, and families who share the bed with children or pets. It needs a large room and a matching super king frame.
What is memory foam and how does it feel to sleep on?
Memory foam is a slow-responding foam that softens with body warmth and moulds to your shape. It feels cushioned and hugging, and it returns slowly to its form once you move. Many people find it quiet and comfortable.
Is this super king mattress soft or firm?
The listing does not describe it as firm or orthopaedic, so expect the typical cushioned, contouring feel of memory foam. If you prefer a firmer surface, take a look at our medium firm and orthopaedic memory foam mattresses.
Will a wide foam mattress trap heat for two sleepers?
Memory foam can retain more warmth than a sprung mattress, and two people can add to it. This mattress is not sold as a cooling mattress, so breathable bedding and a well-aired bedroom will make the biggest difference.
How thick is this super king foam mattress?
Check the depth listed in the product details before ordering. It matters for how plush the bed feels and for choosing fitted sheets with a pocket deep enough to cover the mattress completely.
What bedding do I buy for a super king mattress?
Look for super king bedding, which is made for 180cm-wide beds. A standard king sheet will be too narrow. Pick a super king duvet cover and fitted sheet, and check the sheet depth against your mattress.
Can a super king mattress get through my doors and stairs?
Foam mattresses are usually delivered rolled and compressed, which makes tight stairs and narrow doorways easier than with a rigid mattress. Open it in the bedroom and allow 24 hours or more for it to reach its full size.
How do I rotate and clean a heavy super king foam mattress?
Ask someone to help turn it head to foot every few months. Keep the base well ventilated and spot clean marks with a lightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking the foam, as moisture can affect the feel.
Is a super king memory foam mattress a better buy than a hybrid?
A super king memory foam mattress gives close contouring and quiet movement, while hybrid and pocket sprung mattresses feel bouncier. Decide by comfort preference, room size and how warm you sleep rather than by size alone.
