Super King Beds

The 6ft super king is the largest standard bed size made in the UK, and it's the one you choose when you want space to be the point. At 180cm wide, super king beds give two people room to sleep without ever brushing elbows, plus the longer standard length that taller sleepers want. It's a bed that dominates a room — in the best way — and turns a main bedroom into something that feels closer to a suite.

Who a 6ft super king suits

Super king beds are for couples who refuse to compromise on personal space, and for larger bedrooms where anything smaller would look lost. They suit parents who end up sharing with small children and pets, people who read and watch television in bed, and anyone who simply wants the most generous standard sleep surface available. A super king also makes a confident style statement: it's the size most readily associated with hotel luxury, and a well-upholstered 6ft frame earns that comparison.

Super king bed dimensions and room requirements

Super king bed dimensions are 6ft wide — 180cm — a full foot wider than a 5ft king. That width is transformative, but it makes demands on the room. Before ordering, measure generously: you'll want clear walkway space around all sides, room for substantial bedside tables, and enough wall length that the bed doesn't crowd the doorway or wardrobes. If you choose storage, remember that a gas-lift ottoman needs clearance at the foot end to raise, and divan drawers need to open fully on their chosen side. Access matters too — a 6ft base needs to make it up stairs, around landings and through doorways.

Configuring your super king

Each super king here is made to order, so the specification is yours:

• Fabric — plush velvet, crushed velvet, crushed ice, chenille, Naples, Coniston or Dumfries.
• Colour — grey, silver, cream, black, navy, blue, green, mustard, beige, teal, pink and more.
• Headboard — winged, wingback, buttoned, diamond-buttoned, chesterfield, sleigh, stud, panel or two-tone, in 48", 54" floor-standing or 60" heights.
• Storage — a gas-lift ottoman base, or divan drawers (2-drawer, 4-drawer, footend).

These choices run across upholstered beds, divan beds, ottoman storage beds and TV beds, all available as a 6ft super king.

Choosing within the super king range

With a bed this large, storage and headboard choices have an outsized impact. A gas-lift ottoman super king offers an enormous hidden area for bedding and seasonal storage — genuinely useful, because the room around it tends to be used hard. Divan drawers keep everyday items close. On styling, a 6ft frame is the perfect canvas for a statement headboard: winged, chesterfield and diamond-buttoned designs come into their own at this scale. A 60" headboard on a super king is a genuine showpiece; 48" and 54" floor-standing options are quieter but still substantial.

It's also worth planning for the practicalities a 6ft bed brings. Super king linens are a separate buy from king or double, and the sheer weight of a fully upholstered base means delivery access should be confirmed before you commit. Get those details right and the bed rewards the effort every single night.
