Super King Headboards

They are the same thing — a super king headboard is 180cm (6ft) wide, matching the width of a UK super king bed frame. The terms '6ft headboard' and 'super king headboard' are used interchangeably.

For super king ottoman beds, we recommend a floor standing headboard which rests independently against the wall and does not attach to the bed frame. This means it remains stationary when the ottoman base is lifted, providing no obstruction to storage access.

A 180cm wide headboard will not pass through a standard UK doorway (76cm) horizontally — it will need to be stood vertically or carefully angled around corners. Our delivery team are experienced with large headboards and will handle this as part of the two-man room-of-choice delivery service.

Yes — the full range of headboard styles is available in super king sizing, including panelled, winged, floor standing, low profile, and sleigh designs. All fabric and colour options are also offered across the super king size range.

For a minimalist aesthetic, a flat-panelled low headboard in a single-tone neutral fabric — cream, grey, or mink boucle or linen-effect — creates a clean, understated look without losing the finishing quality. Avoid heavy button tufting or winged profiles if your room has a pared-back, contemporary scheme.
