Super King Bed Bases - Australia's Largest Standard Size
Super king beds are for couples who want maximum space and have the bedroom to match. Browse our complete bed bases range to see all sizes, or keep reading to understand when super king makes sense.
The Square Shape and Luxury Appeal
Super king bed bases are perfectly square - equal width and length. This symmetrical shape creates a luxurious, balanced look in large master bedrooms that other rectangular bed sizes don't achieve.
The generous width means each person gets significantly more personal space than in king bed bases. If you're both tall, move around during sleep, or simply want maximum room without compromise, super king delivers that experience.
Families with children or pets that join the bed have genuinely enough space for everyone. The square shape also means the bed becomes a real centrepiece in large master bedroom suites - it makes a statement about comfort and luxury.
Super King vs King - Is the Extra Width Worth It?
King bed bases are already generous in size. Super kings add extra width, making them wider than they are long. This suits couples who specifically want maximum personal space or who've found king beds still feel limiting.
The trade-off is super kings need very large bedrooms to work properly. They're also less common, so bedding options are more limited and typically more expensive than king or queen bed bases.
Our cOMFy experts can help you honestly assess whether your bedroom suits super king or if king provides plenty of space while being more practical. Visit any of our 50+ stores to see both sizes in actual bedroom settings.
Bedroom Size Requirements
Super king bed bases need spacious master bedrooms - larger than what most Australian homes have. If your bedroom isn't genuinely large, super king can make the space feel dominated by the bed rather than luxurious.
You need room to walk around comfortably, fit wardrobes and furniture, and maintain the bedroom as a functional space. In smaller master bedrooms, king or queen bed bases work better, still providing generous sleeping space while keeping the room balanced.
Consider access too - super kings can be challenging to move through standard doorways and hallways, particularly in older homes or apartments.
Matching Super King Bases to Mattresses
Your super king bed base needs to pair with a super king mattress. Ensemble bases work as matched systems with innerspring mattresses. Slat bases suit various types including memory foam and latex.
Check whether your super king bed frame includes an integrated base or needs a separate base. Storage options exist for super king - drawers or gas lift mechanisms that help manage space in large bedrooms.
Add bedroom furniture suited to spacious rooms - bedside tables, tallboys, and other pieces that complement the scale. Grab a mattress protector in super king size - it qualifies you for OMF's 30-night comfort exchange on mattress purchases.
