The largest bed size is the super king size, which measures 210 x 220 centimeters in the Netherlands. This size offers maximum sleeping space for couples who want plenty of room while sleeping. Compared to a standard king size bed (180 x 200 cm), you get an extra 20 centimeters of width, which makes a significant difference in comfort.

What are the different bed sizes out there?

In Holland, we have several standard bed sizes, each offering its own advantages. The smallest option is the 90 x 200 cm single bed, perfect for children or small bedrooms.

For adults who sleep alone, there is the XL single bed (120 x 200 cm), which offers extra width. Couples can choose from the double bed (140 x 200 cm), the queen-size bed (160 x 200 cm), the king-size bed (180 x 200 cm), and the super king-size bed (200 x 200 cm). What is the largest bed size?

Bed size Dimensions (cm) Suitable for
Single bed 90 x 200 Children, small spaces
Single XL 120 x 200 Adults only
Double bed 140 x 200 Couples, standard
Queensize 160 x 200 Couples, more space
Kingsize 180 x 200 Couples, luxury comfort
Super king size 200 x 200 Maximum space

International standards may vary. For example, American king-size beds are 193 x 203 cm, while European sizes can vary by country.

Which bed size is larger: king size or super king size?

A super king-size bed is always larger than a king-size bed. The difference is in the width: a king-size bed measures 180 x 200 cm, while a super king-size bed measures 210 x 220 cm.

This means that a super king-size bed gives you an extra 30 centimeters of width. For couples who like to sleep stretched out or move around a lot during the night, this difference makes a world of difference. You literally have more personal space without disturbing your partner.

The comfort difference is noticeable: where a king-size bed gives you about 90 cm per person, a super king-size gives you 100 cm per person. That's as much space as a single bed, but next to your partner.

In terms of space requirements, of course, a super king size takes up more space. You'll need at least a 3 x 3 meter bedroom to comfortably walk around the bed.

How do you know if a big bed will fit in your bedroom?

First, measure your bedroom and subtract the bed dimensions. For a super king-size bed, you need at least 260 x 260 cm of bedroom space to keep 60 cm of walking space all around.

Start by measuring your bedroom. Also note where doors, windows and radiators are. These will determine where you can place the bed. Don't forget to measure the height if you want a high headboard.

Think about other furniture you need:

  • Bedside tables (usually 40-50 cm wide each)
  • Wardrobe or built-in closet
  • Possibly a chair or dressing table
  • Space to open drawers

A helpful tip: Lay out the bed dimensions on the floor with masking tape. This will give you a realistic idea of how much space the bed takes up. Walk around with it for a day and experience whether you have enough room to move around.

Don't forget to measure the stairs, too. Large mattresses sometimes need to be brought in rolled up, but some luxury mattresses cannot be bent.

What are the advantages of choosing the largest bed size?

A large bed offers better sleep quality because you are less disturbed by your partner's movements. Research shows that couples sleep better in a roomier bed.

The health benefits are significant. With more space, you can move more freely during sleep, which is natural for your body. Your spine can stay in a better position, which can prevent back pain.

A large bed is ideal for couples with different sleeping habits. Does one partner sleep warm and the other cold? With more space, you can use different duvets without disturbing each other. Does one partner sleep restlessly? The other will notice it less. If temperature is really a challenge, we recommend a Freshbed.

Practically speaking, a large bed also has advantages. You have more room for children crawling into bed with you in the morning, for pets, or just to be comfortable reading or having breakfast in bed.

The luxurious feeling of a large bed adds to your well-being. After a busy day, it is wonderful to be able to fully stretch out in your own space.

What points should you consider when choosing a large bed size?

The costs are higher than for smaller beds. Not only the bed itself, but also bedding and mattresses are more expensive. Super king-size sheets and duvet covers cost more and are less widely available.

Transportation and placement require extra attention. Large mattresses do not always fit through narrow stairs or curves. Some suppliers offer special delivery services for large beds, which incurs additional costs.

Maintenance of large beds requires more time and energy. Changing a super king-size bed is more physically demanding than a smaller bed. Vacuuming around the bed also takes more effort.

Think about the future: if you move, your big bed may not fit in a smaller bedroom. This can limit your flexibility in housing choices.

Accessory availability is more limited. Mattress protectors, toppers and special sheets are less easy to find and often more expensive. The choice of designs and colors is also often smaller.

Top service!

About four years ago, I bought a beautiful bed at Broring, Gelderlandplein. Stephan helped me.
I lived nearby.
Now that I've moved in with my partner and live in Bloemendaal, I was having problems with the bed's controls.
My boyfriend contacted Broring about this many times by phone and email. When that didn't work, Stephan came by to fix it!
We thought that was great service because I no longer live in Buitenveldert, so I'm not next door!
I was also helped in the store by a somewhat older person, blond/gray hair, glasses, who was always very friendly!
The quality of the items, including sheets, towels, etc. in the store is also very good.
