Why choose a super king size bed?
Whether you’re looking for the best bed for a tall person that won’t have your feet hanging over the end, or you simply want the sort of bed that you can fall into and get lost in, a super king bed frame is made for anyone who wants as much sleeping space as possible!
Particularly well-suited to larger spaces, a super king bed can help make a big bedroom feel that much cosier and lived in, minimising the amount of open floor space on display for a more homely feel.
Not only that, but the enhanced size of a super king bed frame also makes them some of the best beds for larger individuals who find standard double beds a little confining. One of the biggest bed sizes available, they're also perfect for sharing your bed with your dog without getting pushed to the edge in favour of your furry friend's comfort – in other words, a super king bed is there to give anyone using it the best night’s sleep possible.
How to choose the right super king bed frame
As with any bed purchase, there are several things to consider when purchasing a super king bed, with the most important factor being the amount of space you have free in your bedroom.
Given their size, it’s safe to say that super king beds take up much more space than the average double bed frame, only really being suitable for bedrooms with dimensions of 14ft x 10ft or above, with any space smaller than this usually feeling cramped by a super king’s presence.
Of course, you also need to think about investing in the right size bedding that matches a super king bed’s enhanced size, as well as your preferred bed frame type. For example, a super king divan bed can be a great investment if you want to turn what floor space you’re losing into additional and sizeable storage.
How big is a super king bed?
While there is no difference in length between a king-size bed and a super-king-sized bed, super king bed frames provide an extra 12” of width, meaning a super-king mattress is almost as wide as it is long!
But, with that being said, if you want exact measurements, then take a look at our size table below, or read our bed and mattress size guide.
How to measure for a super king bed frame
Given how big a super king size bed is, it’s always smart to measure your bedroom before buying to ensure you can fit it in your bedroom space. To do this, simply take a tape measure and measure the width and length of your bedroom – if it’s 14ft x 10ft or over, you should have the space to comfortably fit a super king.
However, you should bear in mind what other furniture you currently have (or plan to have) in your bedroom before settling on your new bed’s location, as you want to make sure you have adequate space around the sides to move unimpeded, open any nearby doors, and access any nearby or built-in storage.
If, after measuring your bedroom, you’re unsure whether or not you’ll have the space to fit a super king bed, then we recommend scaling back to a king-size bed to enjoy comparable levels of comfort.

Super king beds with storage
If you want to include some extra storage for your bed to help offset all the floor space you’ll be losing, then you should definitely look for super king beds that have divan or ottoman bases.
Ottomans beds are particularly versatile as they open from the side or the base, so if space is tight, they make more sense than a divan bed where the drawers will need extra space on the sides to open fully, though divan bed frames are much easier to use and better suited for those who prefer quick storage access.
