Before buying a super king size bed, it’s important to understand the different styles available and what suits your needs best.
Ottoman super king beds lift up to reveal generous hidden storage beneath the mattress. This makes them ideal for UK homes where maximising space is a top priority for many. You can store bedding, clothing or seasonal items without needing additional furniture.
Compared to drawer storage, super king [ottoman beds] (https://www.bensonsforbeds.co.uk/beds/ottoman-beds/) typically offer greater capacity and a cleaner look. Gas-lift mechanisms make lifting easy, while sturdy bases support both the mattress and stored items.
Super king divan beds feature a solid base and often include optional drawers in various configurations. They’re a great option if you want integrated storage without needing the clearance for a lift-up ottoman.
Many [divan beds] (https://www.bensonsforbeds.co.uk/beds/divan-bases/) can be paired with separate headboards, allowing you to customise the look while maintaining a compact footprint too.
Upholstered super king beds offer a soft, luxurious feel and are perfect for creating a hotel-feel in your bedroom. They’re especially comfortable if you like sitting up in bed, be it to read or watch TV.
Wooden frames bring warmth and timeless appeal, from rustic oak to painted finishes suited to modern interiors. Metal frames are durable, easy to maintain and work well in both traditional and industrial-style spaces.
Next, it’s time to discuss the importance of measuring up before you buy a super king bed. Measure twice, just to be sure. Below is what you need to know.
In the UK, a super king size mattress measures 180 cm wide by 200 cm long, making it the widest standard bed size available.
For comparison, a king size mattress measures 150 cm by 200 cm, so a super king gives you significantly more width for added comfort.
Because of its size, a super king bed requires careful planning. Allow space on both sides and at the foot so you can move around comfortably, open drawers and make the bed.
Consider door openings, wardrobes, windows and radiators when positioning your bed. In smaller rooms, a super king may feel overwhelming unless you optimise storage elsewhere.
While all super king frames are designed to fit a standard mattress, their overall size can differ. Chunky upholstery, thick headboards or built-in storage can increase dimensions, while slim metal or simple wooden frames stay closer to the mattress size.
Always check full external measurements on the individual product pages before purchasing.
Onto the personal touches. From the storage savvy to the comfort assure, here are the features you’ll need to consider when picking out the perfect super king bed.
Drawer storage works well if you have clear space around the bed and want quick access to everyday items.
Ottoman storage is better for maximising capacity, as it uses the full base of the bed. This is especially useful in UK homes where space is limited.
A third, alternative storage solution to consider is using boxes in the underbed space of a more traditional super king bed frame. If you prefer the look and feel of a frame that stands on legs but find yourself in need of extra storage, this may be the perfect solution.
Headboards and footboards define the overall look and functionality of your bed. Tall upholstered headboards create a luxurious focal point and offer comfortable back support, while low or open designs can help to make a room feel more spacious.
Some modern frames also include features like USB ports, reinforced bases or sprung slats, all of which can enhance comfort and usability.
For the best sleep experience, pair your super king size bed frame with a matching super king mattress. This ensures proper support and a perfect fit.
Many ranges offer bundle deals that include both the frame and mattress, making it easier to choose a compatible set. You can choose from pocket-sprung, memory foam or hybrid mattresses depending on your comfort preferences.
A UK super king bed frame is designed to fit a mattress measuring 180 cm by 200 cm. The overall frame will be slightly larger depending on its design and materials. If frame size is a concern, you’ll find all the measurements of the individual beds on the dedicated product pages.
Measure your space carefully and allow room for movement around the bed. Mark it out in tape if this helps you visualise how the bed size will feel. If you can comfortably walk around it and access storage, a super king should work. In tighter rooms, consider slimmer designs, built-in storage, or downsizing to a king size bed instead.
Some are sold as frame-only, while others come as part of a bundle with a mattress. Always check product details before purchasing.
Prices vary widely depending on materials, storage features and design. From affordable metal frames to premium upholstered ottoman beds, there’s a super king option for most budgets.
