Super King Zip & Link Mattresses
Space, Flexibility, and True Craftsmanship
A super king zip and link mattress gives you the best of both worlds: unrivalled sleeping space with the flexibility to adapt to different needs. Handcrafted in our Yorkshire workshop, each mattress can be used as a luxurious 6 ft × 6 ft 6 in-bed or separated into two generous singles, depending on your room layout or who’s staying the night.
For couples with different sleep preferences, the ability to choose individual tensions on each side means you can both enjoy personalised comfort without compromise. For guest rooms, hotels, or holiday homes, the zip and link design makes it easy to convert the bed for single or shared use: simple, practical, and made to last.
Why Choose a Super King Zip & Link?
Our customers often tell us that once they switch to a zip and link mattress, they never look back. The combination of versatility and comfort means you can adapt your sleeping arrangement at any time without sacrificing support.
- Flexible configuration: Use as one super king mattress or separate into two singles.
- Dual comfort options: Select different spring tensions to suit each sleeper’s body weight and preference.
- Practical design: Easier to handle and move than one oversized mattress. This makes them ideal for properties with narrow stairs or limited access.
- Premium longevity: Built with traditional pocket springs, hand stitching, and breathable fillings for years of dependable performance.
Dimensions
When linked, a super king zip and link mattress measures 180 cm × 200 cm (6 ft × 6 ft 6 in). When separated, each half forms a comfortable single bed of 90 cm × 200 cm.

A Note on Personal Fit
Our Sleep Expert Team often recommends slightly firmer spring tensions for zip and link configurations, especially when the mattresses will regularly be used together. This ensures consistent support across the join, while still allowing each side to perform independently.
If you’re unsure which tension combination suits you best, our team can help match it to your weight, sleeping position, and preferences: no pushy sales talk, just straightforward guidance from people who build these mattresses every day.
