Dies anyone have an Ikea/European Size Mattress

My wife and I are moving soon and being 6ft4 I would have preferred a king size bed as the new bed in our life. Unfortunately, the master bedroom in the new place is a little too small for that to be a sensible option, but the rest of the house is perfect so we've taken it.
I see that European size beds are 3 inches longer and 1 inch wider and seem a good compromise to me, if a little hard to get mattresses for in the UK.
The main place to get a mattress (and a bed itself) this size seems to be Ikea. Does anyone have recommendations for the best Ikea mattresses? And, is there anywhere else that does European sizes for a reasonable price for the UK?
Thanks in advance to anyone that has any advice

"A bank* is a place where they lend you an umbrella in fair weather and ask for it back when it begins to rain."
(*Unless it's Santander. The branch says they sent you an umbrella 3 times already and don't understand why you don't have it yet and want it back right now!!!)

Also looking, but these are the sizes http://www.mattressman.co.uk/mattresses/special-size/all/
The fitted sheets from Ikea are a bit costly though. I have not been able to find a good fitting mattress protector either.
On the positive side, the extra 3" in length is a bonus0
