Super king bedding linen.

What is super king bed linen?

Let’s start with the basics. The standard Australian super king quilt size is 270cm x 240cm, which is why it sits so comfortably on a king size mattress of 183cm x 203cm, giving your quilt the ‘overhang’ effect. However, having a super king size quilt and doona cover does not necessarily mean that you need super king sheets, mattress protectors or toppers. Finding the perfect sheet for a king size bed is a common issue, especially nowadays where manufacturers are making mattresses with extra deep sided walls. Many people believe that super king sheets are the right fit for extra deep or high king size mattresses, which is not the case. This is where mega and deluxe sheet sets come in to play, offering either a 50cm or 60cm fitted sheet wall as opposed to a 40cm wall or less.


Why use super king bed linen?

Most stylists recommend choosing a doona one size bigger than your bed no matter what size your bed is, for a few different reasons. If you’ve got a king size bed, a super king quilt is the perfect choice for you. A super king doona will offer you

  • The ‘overhang’ effect - ideally your doona or quilt should hang down the sides and end of the bed a little bit, and some extra overhang can look better, especially on a taller bed or high mattress
  • A little luxury - thick, oversized doonas and blankets ooze luxury. High-end hotels often use this trick to help make their beds look so inviting.
  • Less fighting over the covers at night, with plenty of doona on each side of both people in the bed
  • Added warmth in winter - having extra quilt accommodates for more movement and the ability to wrap more of the quilt around yourself.


What if I have a super king bed?
