When it comes to sleep, size does matter. If you’re considering upgrading your bed, a super king size bed might be just what you need for the ultimate sleep experience. But what exactly is a super king bed, and is it the right choice for you? Let’s explore everything you need to know about this luxurious bed size.
What is a Super King Bed?
A Super King Bed is the pinnacle of spacious sleeping. In South Africa, the standard dimensions for a Super King Bed are an impressive 200 cm by 200 cm (2m x 2m). That’s four square meters of space dedicated to rest, relaxation, and rejuvenation. Whether you’re tall, love to stretch out, or share your bed with a partner (or even pets!), a super king bed offers ample room to move without disturbing your sleep companion.
The square dimension of a super king bed is particularly advantageous for both comfort and longevity. Here’s how:
Utilizing All Available Space
A square-shaped super king bed allows you to fully utilize the entire surface area of the mattress.
Unlike rectangular beds, where certain spots (like the middle or edges) might be more heavily used, a square bed promotes more even usage across the entire mattress. This can be especially beneficial for couples, as each person can spread out in different directions without compromising space.
Less Prone to Wear and Tear
Because the mattress is square, it’s easier to flip and rotate it in multiple directions, helping to distribute wear more evenly across the surface. This regular rotation prevents wear and tear in specific areas, ensuring that the mattress maintains its support and comfort over time.
Who is a Super King Bed Best For?
A super King Bed is perfect for:
- Couples Who Crave Space: If you and your partner value personal space, this bed size ensures that you won’t be disturbed by tossing and turning.
- Families with Young Children: If your little ones like to crawl into bed with you in the morning, a super king offers plenty of space for everyone.
- Pet Owners: Pets are part of the family too, and a super king bed provides enough room for them to join you without crowding.
- Tall Individuals: Average-sized beds often do not accommodate taller individuals, affecting their sleep quality (Bedstretch, 2022). If you’re particularly tall, a super king bed ensures your feet won’t hang off the edge, contributing to better overall comfort and posture support.
Benefits of a Super King Bed: Why Bigger is Better
Superior Sleep Posture and Spine Alignment:
A good mattress maintains the spine’s natural curvature for better posture and pain relief (for more information, refer to our post: The Best Mattress For Back Pain). One of the key benefits of a super king bed is the positive impact it can have on your sleep posture and spine alignment.
Naturelle’s super king beds, made with 100% organic latex, are designed to offer optimal support, conforming to the natural curvature of your spine. This ensures that your body is supported evenly, reducing pressure points and helping to alleviate back and joint pain.
Enhanced Sleep Quality
The ample space allows you to stretch out and move freely during the night, which can significantly improve your sleep quality. If you’re someone who likes to change positions frequently, a super king bed provides the room to do so without disturbing your partner.
Improved Comfort for Couples
Sharing a bed with a partner can sometimes lead to discomfort due to limited space. With a super king, each person has enough room to sleep comfortably in their preferred position. Plus, the use of high-quality organic materials like latex and wool in Naturelle’s mattresses ensures a cool, breathable, and hypoallergenic sleep environment – in other words, the perfect sleep sanctuary.
Super King vs. King Size Bed: What’s the Difference?
While both King and Super King Beds are designed for comfort, there are a few differences:
- Size: The most noticeable difference is in the surface area. A standard king-size bed measures 183 cm by 188 cm, whereas a super king is a full 200 cm by 200 cm. This difference might seem small, but it translates to significantly more space. This increase in both length and width results in a total surface area of 4 square meters for a super king, compared to about 3.44 square meters for a king-size bed. This additional 0.56 square metres equates to an extra 16% increase in space, which makes a significant difference in how the bed feels.
- Suitability: While a king-size bed is great for smaller master bedrooms, a super king is ideal for larger spaces, providing that luxurious hotel-like feel.
- Sleep Experience: The extra space of a super king enhances comfort, reduces potential disturbances, and can lead to a better night’s sleep, especially for couples or taller individuals.
Choosing the Right Super King Bed: Room Size Considerations
Before investing in a super king bed, it’s essential to ensure that your bedroom can accommodate its generous size. Here’s what to consider:
- Room Dimensions: Ideally, your room should be at least 4m by 4m to comfortably fit a super king bed. This allows enough space to walk around the bed and add furniture like nightstands and dressers.
- Doorways and Staircases: Check that your home can accommodate the bed’s size during delivery. Measure doorways, staircases, and hallways to avoid any surprises on delivery day.
A super king bed is a worthwhile investment for those who value comfort, health, and long-term value. The generous space enhances sleep quality by allowing for better posture, reducing disturbances, and accommodating taller individuals, couples, and even pets.
Its durable construction, especially when made from high-quality materials like Naturelle’s organic latex, ensures longevity and consistent comfort for over 25 years.
Moreover, the aesthetic appeal and room presence of a super king bed add a touch of luxury to your bedroom, while the added space contributes to better sleep hygiene and overall well-being. The benefits of a super king mattress make it a smart, long-lasting investment in your health and lifestyle.
