Super King Ottoman Beds: The Complete UK Guide
Share
A super king ottoman bed gives you the most sleeping space and the most hidden storage of any standard UK bed size. If you have a larger main bedroom, it's the ultimate combination of comfort and clutter-free living.
Super king dimensions
A UK super king is 6ft wide (180cm) x 6ft 6in long (200cm) — 60cm wider than a double. The ottoman base lifts to reveal a storage well that runs almost the full footprint, so you gain a huge amount of space underneath.
How much can it store?
Because the storage area scales with the bed size, a super king ottoman offers the largest storage well in the range — easily enough for spare duvets, bedding sets, suitcases and seasonal clothing. See how much storage an ottoman bed really has.
Side-lift vs end-lift
On a 6ft bed, the side-lift mechanism is popular because it lifts along the longer edge for easy access; end-lift works well if the bed sits in an alcove. Choose based on the space around your bed.
Choosing the right mattress
Pick a super king mattress within the strut weight range so the gas lift opens and closes smoothly. Memory foam, pocket sprung and hybrid all work — see choosing the right mattress for your ottoman bed.
