A super king divan bed provides a 180 x 200cm sleeping surface on a solid upholstered base - the largest standard divan configuration available in the UK, and the one where the base decision carries the most weight. Two people each have approximately 90cm of personal sleeping space. The mattress investment is significant. And at super king size, the zip-and-link configuration - which allows each side to take an independent mattress at a different tension - is available in a way it is not at smaller sizes. At Land of Beds, we stock super king divan beds in platform top and sprung edge configurations, with full storage options. Free mainland UK delivery, a Price Promise Guarantee, and honest advice from people who know this category properly come as standard.

Most people buying a super king divan have made the size decision. The room takes it, they want maximum sleeping space, and they are ready to invest properly. What they are working through is whether to go with a single base or a zip-and-link configuration, which base type suits the mattress, and which storage option suits the room. At super king size, these decisions carry more consequence than at any smaller size - the investment is larger, the mattress is more specialist, and the base choice affects both people in the bed every night.
If you are still deciding between king and super king, see our super king beds page first. If you have decided on super king, this page guides the base configuration.
| Single Super King Divan | Zip-and-Link Super King Divan | |
|---|---|---|
| Configuration | One 180 x 200cm base | Two 90 x 200cm bases joined |
| Mattress | One 180 x 200cm mattress | Two 90 x 200cm mattresses - each can be different |
| Who it suits | Couples who sleep comfortably at the same tension | Couples with a weight difference of 25kg+, different sleep positions, or health-related firmness needs |
| Sleeping surface | Seamless 180cm surface | Well-fitted zip-and-link has no noticeable gap in normal use |
| Mattress size note | Standard 180 x 200cm | Each mattress is 90 x 200cm - NOT the same as a standard single (90 x 190cm). Must be ordered as super king single. |
| Cost | One base, one mattress | Two bases, two mattresses - higher overall cost |
Our recommendation: if both partners are comfortable at the same mattress tension, a single super king divan gives a seamless surface and simpler setup. If there is a meaningful weight difference (25kg or more) or significantly different sleep positions, zip-and-link allows each person the right mattress - which is often the single most impactful sleep improvement available at this size.
Charlotte Blythe, Land of Beds product expert with 14 years of retail experience: the zip-and-link decision at super king size is one of the most important conversations we have. Couples frequently compromise on tension for years - one person getting the right support, one person not. At super king size, where you are already investing in maximum space, the additional cost of zip-and-link often delivers the biggest single improvement in sleep quality of anything we sell. It resolves the tension compromise that has been quietly affecting one person's sleep every night.
| Platform Top | Sprung Edge | |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Memory foam, latex, hybrid mattresses | Pocket spring mattresses |
| At super king size | Most widely available; suits most modern constructions | Preferred for pocket spring at this size |
| With zip-and-link | Each 90cm base specified independently - different base types possible for different mattress constructions | Same - each base specified independently |
| Common mistake | Memory foam on sprung edge - reduces contouring across 180cm | Firm pocket spring on platform top - can feel harder than intended for both sleepers |
| Factor | Why It Matters | What to Check |
|---|---|---|
| Single base or zip-and-link | Zip-and-link allows independent mattress tensions on each side. More widely available and more commonly needed at super king than any smaller size. | Weight difference between partners; whether both partners sleep comfortably at the same tension |
| Platform top or sprung edge | Two people use the base every night at 180cm wide. Wrong pairing reduces mattress performance and longevity at the most significant investment level. | Memory foam and latex: platform top. Pocket spring: sprung edge. |
| Storage configuration | Super king divan storage includes 2-drawer, 4-drawer, and ottoman options. At this size, the ottoman gives the largest available storage footprint of any standard bed. | Room clearance on each side and at foot |
| Base splits | Super king divan bases are always in two halves. Zip-and-link bases are two fully independent units. | Access route - each half of a standard super king is approximately 90cm wide |
| Configuration | Drawers | Clearance Needed | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2-drawer (one each side) | One drawer on each side | 60cm on both sides | Rooms where both sides have clear access |
| 2-drawer (both one side) | Two drawers on one side | 60cm on one side only | Rooms where one side is against a wall |
| 4-drawer | Two drawers on each side | 60cm on both sides | Maximum drawer storage |
| Ottoman divan | Full gas-lift - entire base opens | No side clearance needed | The largest storage footprint of any standard bed. See super king ottoman beds. |
| No storage | None - clean base | None | Cleanest base surface; storage elsewhere |
| Room Width | Practical Guidance |
|---|---|
| Under 3.8m | A super king is not recommended - clearance will be too tight. A king divan gives a better result - see king size divan beds. |
| 3.8m to 4m | Possible but tight. Measure with all furniture in place before committing. |
| 4m to 4.5m | Good clearance for a super king divan. Standard storage configurations workable on both sides. |
| 4.5m and above | Ideal. Full clearance on all sides with room for bedside furniture at this scale. |
Choose a single super king platform top divan if:
Choose a single super king sprung edge divan if:
Choose a zip-and-link super king divan if:
Choose a super king ottoman divan if:
Choose a no-storage super king divan if:
Our verdict: the super king divan, particularly in a zip-and-link configuration where partners' needs differ, is the base decision that most improves sleep quality at this size. Charlotte Blythe puts it plainly: you have invested in maximum sleeping space - make sure the base gives each person the individual support that makes the most of it.

| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is a super king divan bed? | A super king divan bed is a solid upholstered base measuring 180 x 200cm - the largest standard divan in the UK - sitting closer to the floor than a standard frame, paired with a separately attached headboard. It is either a platform top or a sprung edge, and is available as a single base or a zip-and-link of two 90 x 200cm bases. The base type and configuration directly affect how the mattress performs across 180cm of surface used by two people every night. |
| What is a zip-and-link super king divan? | A zip-and-link joins two 90 x 200cm divan bases side by side to form one 180 x 200cm sleeping surface. Each base takes an independent mattress, allowing each partner to choose a completely different tension or construction. Particularly useful when two partners have a weight difference of 25kg or more, different sleep positions, or where one has a health condition requiring specific firmness. Note: zip-and-link mattresses are 90 x 200cm - not the standard single size of 90 x 190cm. Always order the correct length. |
| Platform top or sprung edge for a super king divan? | Platform top suits memory foam, latex, gel, and hybrid mattresses. Sprung edge suits pocket spring mattresses. At super king size, the pairing matters more than at any smaller size because two people are loading the full 180cm surface every night. With a zip-and-link configuration, each 90cm base can be specified independently - useful if partners have different mattress needs. |
| Are super king divan bases always delivered in two halves? | Yes. Super king bases are always supplied in two halves (approximately 90cm each) for easier delivery. Zip-and-link bases are two fully independent units. This does not affect performance. Confirm your access route can accommodate each half before ordering. |
| Do super king divan beds come with storage? | Yes - 2-drawer, 4-drawer, and ottoman configurations are available. At super king size, the ottoman divan gives the largest storage footprint of any standard bed - approximately 180 x 200cm. The 60cm clearance rule applies to drawer configurations. See our super king ottoman beds for the full ottoman guide. |
| How much should I spend on a super king divan base? | For a main bedroom used every night by two people, £900 to £1,400 is where most buyers land. Below £500 is entry level. Above £1,400 you are investing in premium materials and longevity. At super king size, the quality difference between budget tiers is more visible than at smaller sizes - two people are loading the full 180cm surface every night. |
| Should I choose a super king divan or super king ottoman? | Choose a super king divan with drawers when accessible daily storage matters and side clearance is available. Choose a super king ottoman when maximum storage capacity is the priority - the super king ottoman gives the largest storage footprint available in any standard bed. See our super king ottoman guide for the full comparison. |
| Do you offer free delivery on super king divan beds? | Yes. All super king divan beds are delivered free to mainland UK addresses with no minimum spend. Delivered in sections. Professional assembly and old bed removal and recycling are both available. |
| Can I buy a super king divan on finance? | Yes. 0% finance from 3 to 48 months. Given the investment level, finance allows the right configuration to be chosen rather than a compromise. See our finance page for eligibility. |
