A super king ottoman bed gives a 180 x 200cm sleeping surface - the largest standard bed size in the UK - with the full footprint beneath it available as storage, no side clearance required. At super king size the ottoman storage capacity is exceptional: approximately 180 x 200cm at 25-35cm depth, the largest under-bed storage footprint of any standard bed. Combined with approximately 90cm of personal sleeping space per person, a super king ottoman resolves two of the biggest main bedroom challenges in a single purchase. At Land of Beds, we stock super king ottoman beds in fabric, wooden, and metal frames. 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 ottoman have made both decisions: maximum sleeping space and maximum storage. At this size, the ottoman provides the largest available storage footprint of any standard bed - approximately 180 x 200cm. Combined with 90cm of sleeping space per person, this is the configuration that solves both the sleep disturbance and the storage challenges of a main bedroom simultaneously.
If you are still deciding between king and super king, see our super king beds page first. If you have decided on super king, the ottoman gives the most storage with no room layout constraints on the sides.
| Super King Ottoman | Super King with Drawers | |
|---|---|---|
| Storage capacity | Maximum - approx. 180 x 200cm floor area | Medium - 2-4 drawers at sides or foot |
| Clearance needed | 50-60cm at the opening end only | 60cm on the drawer side - at this width, confirm both sides |
| Daily access | Lift to access - better for bulk and seasonal storage | Pull out at floor level - better for daily items |
| Room layout flexibility | Can sit against any wall | Must have clearance on the drawer side |
| Best for | Maximum capacity; no clearance constraints | Daily clothing access where 60cm is confirmed on at least one side |
Our recommendation: at super king size, ottoman storage is almost always the better choice. The capacity is exceptional and the no-side-clearance requirement is particularly valuable at this width - a super king drawer bed needs 60cm on at least one side in a room where both sides may already be occupied by bedside tables. See our full ottoman beds guide for the storage rule.

| Extra capacity vs king | Approximately 20% more | - | - |

Maria Jones, Land of Beds Sales Director: the super king ottoman combines the two most impactful bedroom upgrades in a single purchase - maximum sleeping space and maximum storage. Customers who choose it consistently report that both problems they were trying to solve got resolved simultaneously. The sleeping space they expected. The storage transformation they did not. It is the configuration I recommend without hesitation when the room can genuinely take it.
| Factor | Why It Matters | What to Check |
|---|---|---|
| Lift direction | At super king size, the bed is 180cm wide. End-lift is almost always the practical choice because the foot has more available clearance than the sides. | Which end or side of the bed has at least 50-60cm of clear space |
| Gas-lift weight limit | Super king mattresses are the heaviest standard size. A well-matched mechanism is more important here than at any other size. | Check the product's stated weight limit carefully. Super king mattresses can weigh 45-60kg on premium constructions. |
| Storage cavity depth | Most super king ottomans offer 25-35cm of clearance below the platform. At this footprint, even 25cm gives exceptional capacity. | Internal cavity height on the product listing |
| Room fit | A super king needs approximately 4m x 4m to work comfortably. The room check is more critical here than at any other size. | Room width with furniture in place, clearance on all sides |
| End-Lift Super King Ottoman | Side-Lift Super King Ottoman | |
|---|---|---|
| How it opens | Lifts from the foot end | Lifts from one side |
| Clearance needed | 50-60cm at the foot of the bed | 60-70cm on the lift side |
| Best when | Both sides have bedside tables or are close to walls | The foot faces a wall, wardrobe, or fitted furniture |
| Most common | Yes - suits almost all super king bedroom layouts | Available in key styles |
| Room Width | Practical Guidance |
|---|---|
| Under 3.8m | A super king is not recommended. A king ottoman gives a better result - see king ottoman beds. |
| 3.8m to 4m | Super king is possible but tight. Measure with all furniture in place. Ottoman is the better storage choice here than drawers - no side clearance needed. |
| 4m to 4.5m | Good for a super king with comfortable clearance. End-lift almost always works well. |
| 4.5m and above | Ideal. Full clearance on all sides with room for bedside furniture at super king scale. |
| Type | Key Features | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Fabric / Upholstered | Statement padded headboard; wide fabric range | Bedrooms where the bed is the dominant design feature - at this size the headboard becomes a genuine statement piece |
| Wooden | Solid or engineered wood; durable; adapts to redecorating | Long-term everyday use; rooms where the aesthetic may change over time |
| Metal | Slim profile; lightweight; contemporary | Minimalist or contemporary rooms |

| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is a super king ottoman bed? | A super king ottoman bed has a 180 x 200cm sleeping surface - the largest standard bed size in the UK - with a gas-lift mechanism that raises the entire mattress and base upward, revealing the full under-bed footprint as accessible storage. No side clearance is required. At super king size, the storage footprint of approximately 180 x 200cm is the largest available in any standard bed. |
| How much storage does a super king ottoman have? | A super king ottoman provides approximately 180 x 200cm of floor area at typically 25-35cm depth - approximately 20% more than a king ottoman. This is enough for all bedding, a full wardrobe rotation of seasonal clothing, luggage, and more. Many customers who choose a super king ottoman find they no longer need any separate storage furniture in the bedroom. |
| What clearance does a super king ottoman need? | No side clearance is required. For an end-lift model, approximately 50-60cm at the foot of the bed. For a side-lift model, approximately 60-70cm on the lift side. At super king size, end-lift almost always suits the room better because both sides are typically occupied by bedside tables. |
| Is a super king ottoman better than a super king with drawers? | For most super king bedrooms, yes. A super king drawer bed needs 60cm of permanent clear space on at least one side. At 180cm wide, the bed may already sit close to walls or bedside tables on both sides. Ottoman requires no side clearance and gives considerably more total storage. |
| What room size do I need for a super king ottoman? | Approximately 4m x 4m gives comfortable clearance. The ottoman reduces clearance requirements compared to drawer beds - but the 180cm width still needs adequate room clearance to function well. In rooms under 3.8m wide, a king ottoman gives a better overall result. |
| Do super king ottoman beds come in zip-and-link configurations? | Some super king ottoman bases are available in zip-and-link, where two 90cm bases are joined and each takes an independent mattress at a different tension. Not all super king ottoman bases support this - confirm before ordering. See our super king beds page for more on zip-and-link. |
| Are super king ottomans hard to lift? | No. The gas struts do the work. Super king mattresses are the heaviest standard size - checking the mechanism's weight rating against the intended mattress is more important here than at any other size. Check the individual product's weight limit before ordering. |
| What styles are available in super king ottoman beds? | Super king ottomans are available in fabric (velvet, linen, chenille), wooden (solid and engineered), and metal frames. At super king size, the frame fills more of the room - fabric frames in neutral tones are currently the most popular choice. Wooden frames adapt better to redecorating over time. |
| Do you offer free delivery on super king ottoman beds? | Yes. All super king ottoman 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 as add-on services. |
| Can I buy a super king ottoman on finance? | Yes. 0% finance from 3 to 48 months. See our finance page for details. |
