How Wide Is a Superking Bed?

A superking bed in the UK is 180cm wide and 200cm long, which is 6ft by 6ft 6in, giving each sleeper 90cm of space: the same width as a standard single.

It sets out the room size a superking realistically needs once walking space and bedside furniture are allowed for, and how to test the footprint with masking tape before ordering.
