Super King Size Bed
What is a Super King size bed?
A Super King size bed is typically a UK or Ireland King size bed. The UK Super King is 72” by 78”, whereas the traditional UK King is 60”x 78”. The standard US King size bed dimensions are 76” x 80” which is larger than the UK King in both length and width. That’s why Super King bed size in the US often refers to other oversized king beds. These beds include the Alaskan King, Texas King and Wyoming King. Though technically, the Super King bed terminology identifies the UK size or other sizes that originate from other countries.

Super King Size Bed Vs King Size Bed
Many countries produce beds in sizes that differ from those in the US. This is perhaps due partly in the cost of real estate causing smaller sleep quarters in some areas. It could be caused in part by the different metric systems used as well. The Super King size bed from the UK is 72 inches by 78 inches. It can be compared to the 76-inch-wide and 80-inch-long classic King that is predominant in the US. However, the Super King seems less super in size because it is shorter and narrower than the regular King.
United States Super King Size Bed
When Super King size bed is describing a bed manufactured in the USA, it can mean something entirely different. Often times, this phrase is used to distinguish oversized beds that fall outside the standard bed sizes. A few examples are the Alaskan King, Texas King and Wyoming King size beds. All are larger than the standard US King bed size and can be called Super King bed sizes. The Alaskan King is the largest at 108 inches by 108 inches. The Texas King is 80” x 98” and the Wyoming King is 84” wide and 84” in length.
