Super King Mattresses

How big is a super king mattress?

As the largest UK mattress available in our collection, it should come as no surprise that super king mattresses are suitably royal in size! Measuring a substantial 6ft by 6ft 6” (or 180 x 200cm), they’re a full foot longer than a standard king-sized bed, allowing them to embody the idea of cosy sleeping to its fullest extent.

Simply put, there’s no mattress quite like a super king. Taking a big bed to the extreme, 6-foot mattresses like those in our range are made for sleepers who want to truly revel in their bed space when hitting the pillow after a long day or rising after a night of blissful slumber.

Why choose a super king mattress?

Without a doubt, the main reason why you might want to invest in a super king mattress is to take advantage of its impressive size and expansive sleeping area, particularly if you’re you and your partner are looking for the best mattresses for couples who don't want to disturb each other in the night.

Not only that, but if you’re a taller than average individual, then a super king mattress is long enough to stop your feet hanging off the end when lying down, making it one of the best beds for tall people and helping you to get a much better night’s sleep in general.

And, naturally, you can find super king mattresses to suit all sleeping preferences, with plenty of brands offering models in a variety of fillings, depths, and different mattress firmness ratings to accommodate your budget and sleeping needs.

What to consider when buying a super king mattress

Given their extensive size, there are several key things you’ll want to bear in mind if you’re considering buying a super king mattress for your bedroom. We recommend thinking about all of the following before you commit to purchasing a mattress of this extent:

• Bed frame size – to start with, if you’re looking to replace your old double or king-size mattress with a super king, then you will need to invest in a super king bed frame as well to accommodate for its increased size.

• Bedroom size – as wonderful as a big bed can be, if your room isn’t large enough to fit a super king without sacrificing other furniture or the majority of your floor space, then you’ll likely want to choose a slightly smaller double bed instead.

• Current bedding – similarly to if you’re upgrading from a smaller mattress, if you’re intent on buying your first super king bed, then you’ll need to buy super king bedding to match.

• Your budget – finally, super king mattresses are typically pricier purchases than other smaller mattress options, so make sure that your budget can match this increased price point before you decide to buy.

How much do super king mattresses cost?

When it comes to the price of a super king mattress, you should expect to pay more for a product of this size than you would for other double mattress types. This is because 6-foot mattresses like these require more time and materials to manufacture, hence why they are often more expensive.

Still, it’s certainly possible to find super king mattresses for as little as £400, though for a high-quality super king mattress from a well-known brand that will last you for many years to come, expect to pay at least £1,000+ for your new bed.
