The Super king Upgrade: Is it Worth the Extra Space?

When you’re planning a bedroom refresh, the "big" question usually comes down to size. Most of us default to a standard Double or a Kingsize because they feel like the safe, standard choices. But if you have the floor space to spare, there is one upgrade that truly transforms the way you live: the Superking.
At 6ft wide, a Superking isn't just a bed; it’s a lifestyle change. But is it actually worth the extra foot of space? Let's break down why we think it’s the ultimate investment in your wellbeing.
1. The Luxury of "Undisturbed" Sleep
We’ve all been there—trying to get a restful night's sleep while dodging a stray elbow or being slowly pushed to the very edge of the mattress.
The jump from a 5ft Kingsize to a 6ft Superking might only sound like an extra 30cm, but in the world of sleep, that extra foot is everything. It’s the difference between "co-sleeping" and "starfishing." If you or your partner are light sleepers, that extra distance means you won't feel every toss and turn, leading to a much deeper, more restorative rest.
2. Room for the Whole Family (Including the Four-Legged Kind)
If your Saturday mornings involve kids piling into bed for cartoons or a Golden Retriever who thinks he’s a human, a Superking bed frame UK shoppers love is a total game-changer. It turns your bed into a communal hub where everyone can fit comfortably without it feeling like a wrestling match.
3. Making a Design Statement
If you have a large master bedroom, a smaller bed can often look "lost" in the space. A Superking fills the room with a sense of grandeur and intention. It anchors the decor and gives the room that high-end, boutique hotel feel that we all crave when we close the bedroom door at the end of a long day.
4. The Handmade Advantage: No "Standard" Limits
On the high street, ordering a Superking can often feel like a "special request" with a massive price hike and a 12-week waiting list.
Because we specialise in handmade superking furniture, the process is different at The Honest Plank. We don't have a warehouse full of pre-made frames; every bed is built from scratch once you place your order. Whether we are cutting timber for a Double or a Superking, the level of care and craftsmanship remains the same.
Because everything is hand-built to order, we can accommodate these larger sizes effortlessly. If you see a design you love on our site but don't see the Superking option listed, it doesn’t mean we can’t do it—it just means we’re waiting for you to ask!
Is it time to upgrade?
If you’ve got the room, we promise you’ll never regret going bigger. It’s an investment in your sleep, your space, and your comfort for the next twenty years.
