Funny, that picture turns up in NL as well, but not for sale with these depicted sizes:
If you want to select other sizes, only smaller ones come up:
In the overview these sizes are what you get:
So, I guess lucky you in the UK 
My brother in law is 6’6”, I do wonder how he copes.
Just lie diagonally. Let the other half have the two large triangles left over 
So is my son, he has a futon, he complains but, it’s a hard life.
I want to mute this thread but I can’t.
(My life is either fucked or complete.)
Still better than completely fucked.
Mmmmmm
not sure…
Just finished a stint in the saunas and pools at Hoar Cross hall, and checked out the snooze room.
Heated water beds! Epic.

Water beds have to be warmed. They can’t be significantly below body temperature as you’d wake up shivering. But of course they can’t be too warm either.
Every day is a school day.
An ex had one and I don’t recall it being warm. It was over twenty years ago…
Exs are often that way

Typically they’re best set between 30 and 33 degrees so just below body temperature (37) but above normal room temp.
I need a new mattress. Have done for years. Mine came with the house and is a random shape devoid of straight lines or regular thicknesses. It probably belongs in a museum of 1950s mattresses, and likely has had more than one generation both born and die upon it. Yeah, seriously. I wonder what the fuck I’m playing at sometimes, but mattresses are just not a topic I give much thought to…
The bed frame is an old cast iron one 4’6" x 6’, on it rests a shitty old divan base that is even more disreputable than the mattress, I mean it is madly fucked, and too wide, being a kingsize. I’ve got some 8x1 PAR planks on order to make some proper slats which I’ll bolt in place on the steel stretchers of the bed-frame, and skip the junk.
Underneath all this dross - just lying on the floor, was what looks like a nearly-unused Sleepeasy, or somesuch brand, but it’s too soft. It claims to be 150cm wide, but is 137cm - so question 1: is this size anomaly A Thing as with planed timber that is always smaller than its given dimensions, i.e. if I want a mattress that is actually 137cm, do I need to order one claiming to be 150cm? I know it’s a fucking mad question, but The Infinite Uncertainty Principle is at play here, and I’ve already had two different dickheads waste my time and let me down today, don’t wanna waste hundreds on a wrong-sized mattress.
Second question, and it’s not much better: 1000 springs, or 4000 springs? 1000 springs is cheaper, not as thick, and a shitload lighter - 4000 springs weighs 65kg and I am getting a bit fucked-up and past-it to be hauling that kinda weight nowadays, and it’ll need turning at least every 3 months…
Context - I want Firm, sprung and ventilated: I can’t abide memory foam crap - I get too hot and it feels like sleeping on dough, or my ex’s flabby gut. Nasty.
Yay! Mattresses!
Remember that open invite I intended to take up- I’ll bring a bed
