Australian Super King Bed Size Guide

An Australian super king bed size measures 203 × 203cm (80 × 80 inches), making it the largest standard bed size available. It is 20cm wider than a standard King bed, which measures 183 × 203cm, and significantly larger than a queen. A super king bed is ideal for couples who want maximum personal space, families who occasionally co-sleep with children or pets, and spacious master bedrooms where the bed is the focal point. Because super king bedding is made specifically for a 203 × 203cm mattress, super king sheets, quilts and quilt covers will not fit a king or queen bed correctly. Always confirm your mattress measurements before buying.

Choose the Best Material for Super King Bedding

Cotton is the most popular choice for super king bed sheets and super king quilt covers because it is soft, breathable and easy to care for. MyHouse, MyHouse Hotel Collection and Private Collection offer both crisp percale and silky sateen weaves for year-round comfort. For warm sleepers and Australian summers, bamboo, Tencel and Lyocell options from Protect-A-Bed and Adorn Living are naturally breathable and temperature-regulating. French linen from Laura Ashley, Home Beautiful and William Morris creates a relaxed, lived-in look with excellent airflow, while MyHouse Luxe Wool quilts provide natural warmth without weight.

What You Need to Dress a Super King Bed

To fully style a super king bed, start with a fitted sheet with a deep wall to suit modern mattress depths, then add a flat sheet or use a quilt as the top layer. A super king quilt cover or super king quilt cover set paired with a matching super king quilt creates the foundation of the bed. Complete the look with super king sheets, a mattress protector, and either four standard pillows or two king pillows with matching pillowcases. For a hotel-style finish, add a decorative coverlet, Euro pillowcases and cushions from the wider bedroom collection.

FAQs

What size is a super king bed in Australia?

An Australian super king mattress measures 203 × 203cm (80 × 80 inches). It is the largest standard bed size in Australia and is 20cm wider than a king bed. Super king bedding, including super king sheets, quilts and quilt covers, is designed specifically to fit this size and will not fit a standard king mattress properly. Always check your mattress dimensions before buying.

What is the difference between a king and a super king bed?

The main difference between a king and a super king bed is width. A king mattress measures 183 × 203cm, while a super king mattress measures 203 × 203cm. Both beds are the same length, but the super king provides an additional 20cm of width, making it better for couples who want extra space. Because of this difference, king bedding and super king bedding are not interchangeable.

What size is a super king quilt cover?

A super king quilt cover is generally designed to fit a super king quilt measuring approximately 245 × 210cm. The quilt cover is usually made to the same dimensions or slightly larger for an easier fit. A super king quilt cover set normally includes the quilt cover plus two pillowcases. Always check the product page for exact measurements before purchasing.

How many pillows go on a super king bed?

Most super king beds are styled with four standard pillows or two king pillows. For a more luxurious, hotel-inspired look, many people add two European pillows and one or two decorative cushions in front. MyHouse super king quilt cover sets often include two pillowcases, with additional king and European pillowcases available separately.

What is the best material for super king sheets?

Cotton is the most popular material for super king sheets because it is breathable, durable and comfortable all year round. Percale cotton feels crisp and cool, while sateen cotton has a softer finish and subtle sheen. Bamboo, Tencel and Lyocell are excellent for warm sleepers because they are moisture-wicking and temperature-regulating. French linen is ideal for a relaxed, textured look, while flannelette and wool are best for winter.

What is in a super king quilt cover set?

A super king quilt cover set usually includes one super king quilt cover and two matching pillowcases. Some designer and hotel-style sets from MyHouse, Home Beautiful and Laura Ashley also include European pillowcases for a layered look. To fully dress the bed, pair your super king quilt cover set with fitted sheets, a flat sheet, a quilt and a mattress protector.
