Manchester Warehouse is one of Australia's only specialist bedding retailers with a dedicated super king quilt cover and doona cover range, not a token selection of white cotton basics, but over 80 super king quilt cover sets across every fabric type, colourway and price point, all sized specifically for the Australian super king mattress of 203 x 203cm.Β
Most department stores and generalist chains carry a handful of super king options at best. Manchester Warehouse has built this range deliberately, because a super king bed deserves the same depth of choice available in queen and king, not an afterthought.
The super king quilt cover range covers cotton percale, cotton sateen, linen blend, bamboo and microfibre at thread counts from 200 through to 1000, sourced from brands including Bambury, Kas Australia, Bianca Lorenne and Laura Ashley alongside exclusive Manchester Warehouse label designs developed specifically to fill the gaps the broader market leaves open in super king. Whether the brief is a crisp white super king quilt cover for a hotel-inspired guest room, a relaxed linen super king doona cover for a coastal primary bedroom, or a seasonal print to anchor a fully styled super king bed, the Manchester Warehouse range has the product, the size and the stock to meet it.

What Type of Super King Quilt Cover Should I Get?
Nick’s Insights:
When selecting a super king quilt cover, it’s all about matching your needs and style preferences. Here’s a breakdown of some of the most popular materials:
- Cotton Super King Quilt Covers: Durable, breathable, and perfect for year-round use. A classic choice that balances practicality with comfort.
- Linen Super King Quilt Covers: Light, airy, and effortlessly chic. Linen is my top pick for summer—it’s moisture-wicking and gets softer with every wash.
- Bamboo Super King Quilt Covers: Soft, sustainable, and hypoallergenic. Bamboo is ideal for those with sensitive skin or anyone who prefers a silky, luxurious feel.
Our collection also includes a diverse range of designs and colours, allowing you to choose between patterned and plain quilt covers depending on your aesthetic. Browse the full selection on our bedding page to explore more options.
Can I Use a Super King Quilt Cover on a King Bed?
Nick’s Styling Tip:
Using a super king quilt cover on a king bed is one of my favourite tricks for achieving a luxurious, hotel-style look. The larger cover provides extra drape, elegantly concealing the mattress and base for a polished finish. It’s also practical, helping to eliminate drafts during colder nights. With the increased mattress heights we see today, this is a smart way to ensure comfort and style.

Can You Put a Super King Quilt Cover on a King Quilt?
Nick’s Practical Advice:
While you can use a super king quilt cover on a king-sized quilt, the fit won’t be perfect due to the larger dimensions. For the best result, I recommend pairing a super king quilt with a matching cover. At Manchester Warehouse, we’ve curated a stunning selection of super king quilt covers that provide a perfect fit and a wide range of designs to suit your personal style.
Nick’s Thoughts on Styling and Care
Your bedding should be as functional as it is beautiful. Here are my tips for styling and caring for your super king quilt cover:
Styling Tips:
- Layer your quilt cover with European pillowcases and textured throws to add depth and interest.
Opt for neutral quilt covers and add bold accents with cushions, or choose patterned covers for a statement piece.
Care Tips:
- Follow the care instructions on the label for the best results.
- For cotton and linen, wash on a gentle cycle and air dry in the shade to maintain colour and texture.

Super King Quilt & Doonas FAQ
What size is a super king quilt cover in Australia?
An Australian super king quilt cover fits a super king mattress of approximately 203 x 203cm. Cover dimensions typically range from 265 x 210cm to 270 x 240cm depending on the brand and style. Manchester Warehouse lists exact cover dimensions on all product pages so you can confirm the fit before purchasing.
Is Australian super king the same as California king?
No. Australian super king measures approximately 203 x 203cm — a square format. US California king measures 183 x 213cm — a long narrow rectangle. They are not interchangeable and a California king cover will not fit an Australian super king bed correctly. All Manchester Warehouse super king products are sized for Australian dimensions only.
Can I use a king size quilt cover on a super king bed?
A standard king quilt cover at approximately 240 x 210cm is 20cm too narrow for a super king mattress of 203 x 203cm. It pulls inward across both sides, leaves the mattress edges exposed and sits without any drape. A purpose made super king quilt cover is the only way to get a properly fitted finish.
Can I use a super king quilt cover on a king bed?
Yes. The additional width creates a fuller drape on both sides and completely conceals the base and mattress height. It is one of the most effective styling upgrades you can make to a king bed without spending much at all.
What does a super king quilt cover set include?
A super king quilt cover set includes the cover plus at least two standard pillowcases sized 48 x 73cm. Select premium sets also include European pillowcases sized 65 x 65cm. A product listed without the word set is the cover only. Exact inclusions are listed on every product page.
What is the best super king quilt cover fabric for hot sleepers?
Cotton percale is the most consistently recommended choice — the tight weave structure allows airflow and maintains a cool surface without trapping body heat. Linen super king quilt covers are also highly breathable and naturally temperature regulating. Bamboo is the right choice if moisture wicking is the priority. Microfibre is the least suitable option for warm sleepers and warm Australian climates.
Are super king quilt covers available in linen at Manchester Warehouse?
Yes. The range includes linen blend and 100% linen super king quilt covers updated seasonally. Core neutrals including natural, white, stone, charcoal and oatmeal are stocked year round. Seasonal introductions in blush, sage and rust are added twice yearly. Linen blend covers combine linen and cotton for a softer initial feel while retaining the breathability and relaxed character of linen bedding.
How do I care for a super king quilt cover?
Most are machine washable. Cotton and cotton blend covers can be washed at 30 to 40 degrees Celsius on a gentle cycle. Linen blend covers should be washed cold on a gentle cycle. Use a front loading machine with at least 7 to 8kg drum capacity given the large format. Tumble dry on low heat or line dry in shade. Do not use fabric softener on cotton sateen as it degrades the natural lustre of the weave over time.
Does Manchester Warehouse ship super king bedding Australia wide?
Yes. Flat rate $9.95 shipping on all super king bedding orders to every Australian state and territory including regional and remote areas. Express delivery is available at checkout.
What is the difference between a super king quilt cover and a super king doona cover?
No difference. Super king quilt cover and super king doona cover are two names for the same product. Manchester Warehouse uses both terms across product listings so customers find the right product regardless of which term they search for.
