The super king mattress size measures 180cm x 200cm (approx 6′ x 6’6″). It is a full 30cm (approx 12″) bigger in the width than a king size bed (150cm) but is actually the same length.
As with all beds, this measurement only applies to the mattress and the majority of divan bases. Bed frames tend to increase the bed’s size considerably. This is due to the attached head ends, foot ends, posts and side rails that surround the mattress. This extra width needs to be considered as super king beds can potentially dominate a room. Therefore it is advised to make sure your room, and access to it, is spacious enough before purchasing one.
With regards to super king divan bases, always check for extra padding, piping or handles that increase the bed’s size.
Access and room space for super king mattress size
A concern many people have with super king size beds is that they won’t be able to get the bed where they need it. Although the majority won’t have a problem, it is worth assessing the situation if you live in smaller property. The main problems that may arise are usually due to the size of the mattress or divan bases.
Although mattresses aren’t generally the problem, due to its ability to flex a little, you should make sure the mattress doesn’t need bending or folding too much. If a mattress is bent too far, internal problems may happen that you could be unaware of for months to come. If there is sufficient turning space for a super king size make sure height, especially between doorways or ceiling height over the stairs is also sufficient.
The biggest problems with regards to access tend to be the divan bases. In most cases super kind divan bases split into two sections, each one measuring roughly 90cm x 200cm. This is the same width as a single divan base but roughly 75cm longer. Therefore, if you’ve had problems getting a single divan into your home, you may encounter the same problem. A bed frame, which comes flat packed, may be the best option here.
