Super King Mattresses

It might not come as a surprise, but the primary difference between these two mammoth mattresses is the size! A super king mattress is typically 2030mm in width, while a king size mattress is only 1830mm. Both mattresses typically have the same length, but the width is much bigger with a super king size mattress, essentially turning your mattress from a rectangle to a square.

The main difference between a standard king mattress and a queen mattress is the width, as both are the same length. Because their lengths are identical, choosing between a queen and a king bed ultimately depends on your preference for mattress width.

It’s likely going to be a tight squeeze, but a super king mattress should fit through a door frame. The most standard door frame height in Australia is 2040mm, with some frames being slightly shorter or larger. The dimensions of a super king size mattress are 2030mm x 2030mm. So, yes your mattress should fit through your door, albeit by 1cm!

Whether or not upgrading your mattress to a super king size is too big, can depend on many factors, including personal, aesthetical and practical. If you can’t fit your mattress through your door, then you might say it’s too big, but if you can, then consider the size of the room. If you have a small bedroom, a super-sized mattress might overcrowd the room and bring out some storage issues.

Practicality and aesthetics aside, if you prefer sleeping on a big mattress, then go for it. After all, your sleep experience is the most crucial factor to consider.

If you have the space to accommodate a super-sized mattress, and you value spacious sleeping, then a super king bed mattress is definitely worth it. If you share a bed with a partner, the difference in width from a king to a super king can make a world of difference and ensure you both have a restful sleep.
