They’re called super king beds for a reason; they’re the ultimate in size, comfort, and luxury. But what exactly is a super king bed? How big is it, and what makes it such a popular choice for UK homes?

If you’re considering upgrading your bedroom, this complete guide from The Bed Village Yorkshire covers everything you need to know, from UK super king bed dimensions to choosing the best bed frame and bedding.

 

What Is a Super King Bed?

A super king bed is the largest standard bed size available in the UK, ideal for those who value extra space and comfort. It’s perfect for couples who like more room or for families who occasionally share the bed with children or pets.

With a super king, you can stretch out without disturbing your partner and enjoy an uninterrupted, luxurious night’s sleep.

 

Super King Bed Dimensions UK

If you’re asking, “What size is a super king bed in the UK?”, here’s the answer:

• Super King Bed Dimensions UK: 182.88 cm (width) × 198.12 cm (width)

That’s approximately 6 ft wide and 6 ft 6 in long, giving you 30 cm more width than a standard king-size bed (which measures 150 cm x 200 cm).

So, if you’ve been wondering “how big is a super king bed?”, the difference is significant and it’s instantly noticeable in comfort and sleep quality.

 

Super King vs King Size Bed: What’s the Difference?

The main difference between a king and a super king bed is the width. Both share the same length of 200 cm, but the super king gives you an extra 30 cm of space to stretch out.

Bed Size	Dimensions (cm)	Dimensions (inches)
King Size	157.48 cm × 198.12 cm	62” x 78”
Super King	182.88 cm × 198.12 cm	72” x 78″

This added space can make all the difference for couples who move around during the night or prefer a more open sleeping area.

 

Benefits of Choosing a Super King Bed

Upgrading to a super king bed comes with several advantages:

• Superior Comfort: Extra width for a more restful, spacious sleep.
• Better for Couples: No more disturbing your partner when turning over.
• Family-Friendly: Ideal for parents sharing a bed with young children.
• Luxurious Feel: A super king creates a statement centrepiece in your bedroom.

With a wide range of frame styles and materials, you can match luxury with practicality and storage.

2. Classic Divan Bed Frame

This is a timeless option offering excellent support and optional storage drawers. Divans are perfect for those who want a sturdy base with a clean, upholstered finish.

Things to Consider Before Buying a Super King Bed

Before investing in a super king bed, consider these key factors:

Room Size

Ensure your bedroom can accommodate the extra width without feeling cramped. Leave enough space for walking, bedside tables, and wardrobes.

Budget

Bedding

You’ll need specific super king-size bedding, including sheets, duvet covers, and protectors. Standard king-size bedding won’t fit correctly.
