What is the standard size of a super king bed frame?

The standard super king bed frame is built to fit a mattress measuring 180 cm wide by 200 cm long — often called 6 ft by 6 ft 6 in. This is the largest common bed size in Ireland and the UK, offering generous space for two adults.

Are super king and king the same?

No. A king-size bed is 150 cm × 200 cm (5 ft × 6 ft 6 in), while a super king is 30 cm wider. That extra width makes a real difference for couples who want personal space.

What is the size in centimeters?

Exact internal frame dimensions vary slightly by manufacturer. For example, the JYSK ELLINGE super king bed frame measures 184 cm wide × 204 cm long × 35 cm high, with a ground clearance of 26 cm. Always check the product specs to ensure your mattress fits.

The 30 cm width difference makes a super king the clear choice for couples who value personal space.

Which super king bed frames have built-in storage?

Storage bed frames are especially popular in Ireland, where space can be tight. Two main types dominate: ottoman frames that lift the mattress to reveal a large compartment, and divan bases with integrated drawers.

What is an ottoman super king bed frame?

An ottoman frame uses a hydraulic lift mechanism to raise the mattress platform, giving you full access to storage underneath. The JYSK ELLINGE is a solid example — it includes a slatted base and deco veneer finish, with a maximum load capacity of 220 kg.

What are divan storage options?

Divan bases typically have two or four deep drawers built into the base. The Coolmore Super King from Harvey Norman takes a different approach: storage is built into the headboard, with a solid pine frame and flat slat base.

When choosing between ottoman and drawers, consider how often you access stored items.

Where can I buy a super king bed frame in Ireland?

Irish shoppers have several reliable options, from large chains to specialist bed retailers.

Are super king bed frames available at IKEA?

What about Dreams, EZ Living, MattressMick?

Local retailers’ free delivery and assembly can significantly reduce total cost.

What are the best wooden super king bed frames?

Wooden frames are the classic choice — sturdy, warm, and long-lasting. But other materials have their own strengths.

What other materials are used?

Metal frames are lightweight, modern, and often the cheapest option. Upholstered frames add a padded headboard and a luxurious feel, but require more care.

Pros and cons of wood vs metal vs upholstered

• Wood: Durable, classic look, can be heavy. Solid pine or oak frames like the Coolmore from Harvey Norman are built to last.
• Metal: Affordable, easy to assemble, but can squeak over time.
• Upholstered: Soft headboard, wide fabric choices, but fabric can stain and may need professional cleaning.

Your choice of material should align with your lifestyle and willingness to maintain the frame.

How much does a super king bed frame cost?
