The height of the average man and women in the UK has increased by 10cm in the last century and for this reason, so many of us require a mattress that's longer than standard 6ft6 long king size mattresses. To cater for this, we offer extra-long options of 6ft9 and 7ft.

Achieving the perfect night's sleep requires a mattress that caters to your specific needs, particularly when it comes to size. For those who require a bit more legroom or simply prefer the luxury of extra space, an extra long king size mattress is the ultimate choice. Offering extended length without compromising on width, these mattresses provide unparalleled comfort and support.
In this guide, we’ll explore the benefits of extra long king size mattresses, discuss the available sizes, compare them to other popular mattress sizes, and offer tips on how to care for your new investment. Plus, learn why Archers Sleepcentre is your go-to destination for high-quality mattresses.
Benefits of Extra Long King Size Mattresses
Extra long king size mattresses are specifically designed to accommodate those who need additional space, whether due to height, preferred sleeping positions, or sharing the bed with a partner who enjoys spreading out. The added length ensures your feet are always comfortably supported, reducing pressure points and enhancing overall sleep quality.
With options available in medium firm support and extra firm, you can find the ideal firmness of mattress to suit your needs. These mattresses are also ideal for those who need extra room to move during the night, ensuring you wake up feeling refreshed and well-rested.
Sizes Available: 5ft x 6ft9 and 5ft x 7ft
At Archers Sleepcentre, we offer extra long king size mattresses in two convenient sizes: 5ft x 6ft9 and 5ft x 7ft. These dimensions provide more length than a standard UK king size bed, making them perfect for taller individuals or those who simply appreciate extra space.
The 5ft x 7ft option offers the longest length available, ensuring even the tallest sleepers can enjoy a restful night’s sleep. These sizes not only offer additional comfort but also cater to those looking to maximise the luxurious feel of their bedroom, making a statement with their bed size.
How Extra Long King Size Mattresses Differ from Other Sizes
Understanding the differences between mattress sizes is crucial when choosing the right one for your bedroom. A standard UK king size mattress measures 5ft x 6ft6, which is suitable for most couples. However, if you need more legroom, you might find this size slightly restrictive.
The Euro king size mattress is slightly wider at 5ft3 x 6ft6, but it doesn’t offer any extra length. The UK super king size bed, measuring 6ft x 6ft6, provides more width but retains the same length as a standard king size. In contrast, our extra long king size mattresses add the additional length needed for the ultimate in comfort, without overwhelming your bedroom space.
Open Coil and Memory Foam Extra Long King Size Mattresses
When selecting an extra long king size mattress, you have several high-quality options to choose from. Open coil springs are a popular choice, providing excellent support through a network of interconnected springs, ideal for those who prefer a firm sleeping surface. These mattresses are perfect for maintaining spinal alignment and ensuring consistent support throughout the night.
For those seeking more personalised support, memory foam mattresses contour to your body shape, alleviating pressure points and promoting healthy spinal alignment. Memory foam is particularly beneficial for those who suffer from joint or muscle pain, as it evenly distributes body weight, reducing strain on pressure points.
Alternatively, pocket sprung mattresses are another excellent choice. These mattresses contain individual pocket springs, which work independently to offer tailored support based on your sleeping positions. This design also reduces motion transfer, making it an ideal option for couples. For those who require firmer support, an extra firm pocket sprung mattress is available, ensuring maximum support and comfort.
Matching an Extra Long King Size Mattress with an Extra Long Divan Base
For the ultimate sleep experience, pairing your extra long king size mattress with an extra long king size divan bed base is the perfect solution. An extra long divan base not only provides sturdy support for your mattress but also enhances the overall look and functionality of your bed. Available in various styles, colours, and fabric choices, these divan bases can be tailored to complement your bedroom decor, creating a cohesive and stylish environment.
Additionally, many extra long divan beds offer practical storage options, such as drawers or an ottoman lift, making them both stylish and functional. These storage solutions are perfect for keeping your bedroom clutter-free, providing easy access to bedding, clothing, or other essentials. By matching your extra long king size mattress with an extra long divan base, you ensure a cohesive, comfortable, and supportive sleep environment that combines luxury with practicality.
Do You Need Different Bedding for an Extra Long King Size Mattress?
Given the extended length of extra long king size mattresses, you will need specialised bedding to ensure a proper fit. Standard king size bedding will not suffice, so it’s essential to invest in fitted sheets designed for these larger mattresses. Many retailers, offer a range of bedding options tailored to these unique sizes, ensuring your bed and mattress are perfectly matched. Using the right bedding not only enhances comfort but also ensures your mattress remains protected and in top condition.
How to Care for Your New Extra Long King Size Mattress
Proper care of your new extra long king size mattress will help prolong its lifespan and maintain its comfort.
Regularly rotating your mattress is recommended, especially for coil springs and pocket sprung models, to ensure even wear. This helps maintain the firmness of the mattress and ensures consistent support over time. If your mattress is double sided then the mattress should also be flipped regularly.
Memory foam mattresses benefit from occasional airing to keep them fresh and free from odours.
Additionally, using a mattress protector is advised, as it guards against spills and stains, keeping your mattress in pristine condition for years to come.
