Are you considering upgrading your sleep space to something truly fit for royalty? Then you’re in the right place. A Super King Bed from The Bed Village Yorkshire isn’t just our largest bed—it’s a lifestyle choice, a luxury upgrade, and the best investment you’ll make for your comfort and well-being this year.
In this detailed buying guide, we’ll cover everything you need to know about choosing your perfect Super King Bed—from dimensions to style tips, delivery advice, FAQs, and even future-proofing your purchase. Plus, we’ll answer some of your top queries like “How big is a Super King Bed?,” “What size is a Super King?,” and “What’s the difference between King and Super King beds?” Let’s get started!
What is a Super King Bed (and How Big is It)?
First things first: How big is a Super King Bed?
The standard dimensions for a Super King Bed in the UK are:
- Width: 72 inches (183 cm)
- Length: 85 inches (216 cm)
That’s a whole 10 inches wider than a King-sized bed, giving you much more luxurious space to stretch out, roll around, and truly relax.
In short, a Super King Size Bed is like a King-size bed—just even more impressive. If you’re looking for extra sleeping space for yourself, your partner, your children, and even the family dog, a Super King is the way to go.
For those wondering about a bigger bed than a Super King, The Bed Village Yorkshire also offers fully bespoke options—so if you dream it, we can build it!
Super King Bed vs King Bed: The Size Difference
You may ask, “What is the size difference between King and Super King beds?” It’s one of the most common questions we hear.
- King Size Bed: 62 inches (158 cm) wide × 85 inches (216 cm) long
- Super King Bed: 72 inches (183 cm) wide × 85 inches (216 cm) long
While both beds are the same length, the Super King is 10 inches wider than the King. That extra space makes all the difference in undisturbed, peaceful sleep.
If you’re comparing the two and wondering how much bigger a Super King is than a King, imagine nearly a foot of extra room to sprawl—it’s life-changing!
Why Choose a Super King Bed?
Choosing a Super King Bed isn’t just about going bigger. It’s about creating the perfect sanctuary for sleep, relaxation, and family time. Here’s what to consider before you make your purchase:
1. Mattress Size Matters
Buying a Super King bed frame means you will need a matching Super King mattress. A smaller mattress can’t fit into a larger frame without sacrificing comfort and style. We recommend selecting a mattress that suits your sleeping style, whether you prefer firm, medium, or soft comfort.
2. Room Size Considerations
A bed this grand requires a room that can do it justice. Measure your room carefully, considering any other furniture you plan to have. Remember, bed frames can sometimes be slightly larger than the mattress itself due to padding, upholstery, or design features.

3. Delivery Access
Before ordering, double-check your doorways, staircases, and hallways. A common oversight is forgetting whether the bed will fit through the house during delivery. This is especially important for homes with narrow stairwells or sharp corners.
At The Bed Village Yorkshire, we can advise on whether a split-base option would facilitate delivery and assembly.
4. Assembly Help
Although we design our beds to be straightforward to assemble, it’s always better (and safer) to have a second person help, especially for Super King Beds, which involve larger components. It’s a great excuse to rope in a friend, family member, or partner for a bonding experience!
We also provide a comprehensive assembly guide to make the process smooth.
5. Future-Proof Your Decision
Ask yourself if you plan any significant moves in the next few years. Transporting a Super King Bed is more complex than moving a single or double bed. If you’re likely to move soon, it might be best to delay the purchase or invest in a bed that’s easier to transport.
6. Design and Style Personalisation
One of the most significant benefits of buying from The Bed Village Yorkshire is the ability to customise your Super King Bed to your heart’s content. Choose from:
- Ottoman bases
- Divan bases
- Upholstered bed bases
- Choice of luxury fabrics
- Matching footboards (optional)
We pride ourselves on giving you the creative freedom to design a bed that matches your taste and your home’s aesthetic. Learn more about bed bases to make more informed decisions.
