Vauxhall Iron Bed Frame in Black, Ivory or White, King and Super King
From£849
26 super king frames, every one measured outside-in

A super king size bed is 180 cm wide and 200 cm long (6ft x 6ft 6in): 30 cm wider than a king, 90 cm per sleeper. Allow a room about 3.1 m wide so there is a 60 cm walkway on both sides. Each bed page gives the outside size of that frame where the maker publishes it. Prefer something narrower? See our king size beds. Not sure about the size? Read the super king bed size guide.

Room check
A super king is 30 cm wider than a king. With our widest super king frame, a 75 cm walkway on both sides needs a room 347 cm wide.

Most of our super king frames are made only in 6ft, so they are not simply a king frame one size up: each has its own specification, published on its product page. All UK bed sizes in cm, feet and inches
Mattress and bedding
A super king bed takes a 180 x 200 cm UK super king mattress. The European 180 x 200 cm size is identical, so a Continental mattress fits too. A super king duvet is 260 x 220 cm; a king duvet (225 x 220 cm) leaves 35 cm less width and looks short on a super king.
Each sleeper gets 90 cm, against 75 cm on a king size and 67.5 cm on a double.

Questions
180 x 200 cm, 6ft x 6ft 6in. The frame is bigger than the mattress: our super king frames measure 185.4 to 196.8 x 208.3 to 221 cm on the outside.
In a 3 m wide room our narrowest super king frame, 185.4 cm, leaves 114.6 cm in total, about 57.3 cm each side: tight, but it works with one side near the wall. For a 75 cm walkway on both sides you need about 347 cm.
Yes. We stock 6 super king ottoman frames, from £599. They lift the whole 180 x 200 cm base on gas struts, so the storage underneath is the full footprint of the bed. They are listed together on the super king ottoman beds page.
In the UK, nothing standard. Emperor beds (200 x 200 cm) exist from a few makers, made to order. For most bedrooms a super king is the largest practical size.
