Super King Duvet Covers & Bedding

A UK super king duvet is 260 x 220cm and fits a super king bed of 180 x 200cm, sold as a 6ft bed. That is 35cm wider than a king duvet, so the overhang is generous even with two people on it.

Every set here includes two housewife pillowcases at 50 x 75cm. A lot of super king beds are dressed with four pillows rather than two, so it is worth buying a second pair to match, or going for a plain pair in a colour picked out of the design.

The usual complaint about a super king is that nobody stocks it, or that the few sets available are plain white at a high price. That is why this page runs to 70 designs. You should not have to give up on pattern just because the bed is large.

On a bed this size, plain and textured covers tend to look the most considered, and a large scale print can look striking if the room can take it. The other thing worth knowing is that a super king duvet is heavy when wet, so check your machine drum size before buying brushed cotton or anything with weight to it.
