A super king bed, also known as a 6ft bed, is the largest standard bed size widely available in the UK. At 183cm wide x 198cm long, a super king size bed frame gives two sleepers the kind of space that makes sharing feel genuinely effortless, rather than something you adapt to. If you've ever woken up clinging to the edge of a king, a super king is the straightforward solution.
All our super king bed frames are available in any colour and are all fully customisable.

Families and co-sleepers - For weekend lie-ins with children (or pets who insist they own the bed), a super king bed gives you the space to share without it feeling cramped.
Couples who want uninterrupted sleep - The extra width means movement on one side of the bed transfers less across to the other. It won't eliminate disturbance entirely, but it reduces the frequency meaningfully.
Taller sleepers - At 198cm long, a super king size bed comfortably fits sleepers up to around 6ft 3in.
Larger master bedrooms - A super king bed is a considered choice as much as a practical one. In a room with the space to carry it, a 6ft bed frame anchors the layout and sets the tone for everything around it.
Four poster beds - A solid wood super king four poster bed commands a room without trying to, turning your bed into the architectural centrepiece of the room. Best suited to higher ceilings and larger master bedrooms.
Low beds - Lower-profile super king size bed frames keep the room feeling open and grounded. Useful in rooms where the sheer width of a super king mattress could otherwise make the space feel heavy.
Standard height beds - The classic super king bed frame profile: easy sitting height, practical clearance underneath, and a timeless look that works with most interiors.
Platform beds - Clean-lined wooden super king platform bed frames offer a breathable slatted base and a modern alternative to divan bases, with a strong, supportive feel.
Storage beds - At super king size, the under-bed footprint is considerable. Storage frames make the most of it, either through side drawers, lift-up ottomans, or room for storage boxes that covers the entire 183 x 198cm area.
Attic beds - For loft rooms, sloped ceilings and awkward angles, attic-friendly designs keep the overall height controlled while still delivering full super king sleeping space.
Floating beds - Super king bed frames with recessed support legs create a contemporary hovering effect. At this width, the visual lightness of a floating frame helps balance the scale of the mattress.
Scandinavian beds - Clean-lined super king frames that combine natural timber warmth with Nordic simplicity. The pared-back aesthetic works well when the bed's footprint is already doing the talking.
Space that actually changes how you sleep - A super king is 33cm wider than a king. When split between two people, that's an extra 16cm each, taking personal sleeping space from around 75cm to 91cm per person. At that point, you're no longer sharing a bed in the same way. You're sleeping alongside each other, with room to move without consequence.
Extra thick slats - At the super king width, slat performance matters more than at any smaller size. A slat that works adequately at king size will flex noticeably when extended to 183cm under consistent load, translating into uneven mattress support and a softer, less stable feel over time. Our slats are twice the industry standard thickness and paired with central support legs to carry the full span without bowing.
Built to stay square - A super king size bed frame carries more load and experiences more leverage at the corners and side rails than smaller sizes. That’s exactly where poor construction starts to creak and shift. Our traditional mortise and tenon joinery keeps the frame locked, stable and quiet over time.
Solid wood construction - With such a significant piece of furniture, it is likely to become the central anchor of the room. Opting for a real wood frame brings a natural warmth to your space and creates a beautiful anchor.
Room size - A super king size bed (183 x 198cm) typically suits rooms of around 3.5m x 3.5m (11ft 6in x 11ft 6in) or larger. If you want bedside tables and comfortable access on both sides, aim closer to 3.7m x 3.7m (12ft 2in x 12ft 2in) where possible. A super king looks and feels best when it isn’t pushed tightly against walls.
Plan circulation space like a joiner would - Leave practical clearance where you actually move: around the foot end, beside wardrobes, and where doors swing. The most common mistake is having enough width for the bed, but not enough space to comfortably walk past the corners or open drawers.
Don’t ignore what’s on the walls - Radiators, chimney breasts, plug sockets and thick skirting boards can all steal usable space and force the bed into a less ideal position. Measure at the height the frame sits, not just wall-to-wall at floor level.
Save valuable centimetres - A super king mattress is 183 x 198cm, but the external footprint of a wooden super king bed frame will add several centimetres to both dimensions depending on the style. If that might make it feel a little tight, a space saving super king bed frame can help. These reduce the external footprint by around 8-12cm while still fitting a standard super king mattress.

A UK super king size bed measures 183cm wide x 198cm long. It’s also commonly called a 6ft bed.
Yes, comfortably. At 183cm wide, a super king gives each person around 91cm of personal sleeping space - which is roughly what you’d get from 2 single beds. For most couples, including those who move around during the night or are both tall, a super king provides enough space to sleep without regularly disturbing each other.
If this is a little too large for your space, you might want to consider:
King Size: 150 cm wide x 200 cm long
EU King Size: 160 cm wide x 200 cm long
Small Super King Size: 166 cm wide x 198 cm long
EU Super King Size: 180 cm wide x 200 cm long
The next standard sizes up from a super king size bed are:
Eastern King Size: 200 cm wide x 200 cm long
Our solid wood super king bed frames support up to 471kg (74 stone), achieved through solid timber construction, mortise and tenon joinery, and extra-thick slats that are double the industry standard thickness, significantly higher than most mass-produced alternatives.
Not necessarily; our standard super king bed frames are made specifically to fit 183 x 198cm mattresses. As long as your current mattress is the right size, supportive, comfortable, and free from sagging, it will perform optimally on our solid wood bases.
Not unless you want to. Most of our customers choose our assembly service, where we’ll professionally install it for you for total peace of mind. However, if you’d prefer to assemble it yourself, we offer two self-assembly options:
