Australian Super King beds are wider than UK and US super king dimensions, which is why most imported bedding doesn't fit them correctly. Every Flaxfield Super King piece — from fitted sheets through to bedspreads — is cut to Australian Super King proportions, with the cover sizes, sheet drops and pillowcase widths specified for a 203 × 203 cm mattress.
Anatomy of a made Super King bed
Layer by layerCovers the mattress with a snug fit. Sized for Australian Super King (203 × 203 cm) and available in standard and deep-sided depths to suit different mattress profiles.
Sits between you and the quilt cover. Generous enough to fold back over the top of the quilt cover for the classic hotel-style cuffed finish.
Encases your quilt insert and forms the main visible layer. Super King quilt covers measure 270 × 240 cm for balanced overhang on either side of the 203 cm-wide mattress.
Pillowcases finish the head of the bed. A bedspread can be folded across the foot for warmth, weight and texture — or used on its own in warmer months instead of a quilt.
Four bedding categories, one consistent fit
Every Flaxfield Super King piece is built on the same 400 thread count long-staple cotton sateen base, so you can mix categories and ranges without any change in fabric feel or quality.
Embroidered and quilted cotton sateen covers proportioned for the full visual scale of a Super King bed. Includes the quilt cover plus matching pillowcases.
Tailored to Australian Super King mattress dimensions in standard and deep-sided depths. Cut from the same 400TC cotton sateen as the quilt covers for a consistent feel under the layers above.
Standard tailored (50 × 75 cm), King tailored (50 × 90 cm) and Euro (65 × 65 cm) sizes each proportioned to layer across the visual width of a Super King bed.
Quilted cotton bedspreads cut to Super King proportions for use over the quilt cover, or as the primary top layer in warmer months. Adds weight, texture and a finished hotel-style appearance.
How a Super King bed comes together
A starting framework for layering Super King bedding. Adjust based on the season, the room and how layered you want the bed to feel.
Fit the mattress with a Super King fitted sheet in the right depth for your mattress profile. Standard depth suits most Australian mattresses; deep-sided is for pillow-top or higher-profile mattresses.
Lay a flat sheet over the fitted sheet, with the wider top edge near the head of the bed so it can fold back later. Place the quilt cover (containing your quilt insert) on top.
Fold the top edge of the flat sheet back over the quilt cover for the hotel-style cuff. Arrange pillowcases across the head — typically two King at the back, two standard in front. Fold a bedspread across the foot.
Every Super King piece is cut to Australian Super King dimensions, not adapted from UK or US sizing. The fit on a 203 × 203 cm mattress is correct from the start.
A single-ply long-staple cotton woven to a true 400 thread count. Used as the base for every Super King piece so the feel and weight is consistent across the range.
Constructed for a decade of regular laundering. Hidden buttons, French seams and structured flanges keep the bed looking tailored long past the first wash.

About Super King bedding
An Australian Super King mattress measures 203 × 203 cm. It is the largest standard mattress size sold in Australia, square in shape and 20 cm wider than a King mattress (183 × 203 cm). All Flaxfield Super King bedding is proportioned for the 203 × 203 cm Australian Super King dimension.
A complete Super King bed typically includes a fitted sheet to cover the mattress, a flat sheet or quilt cover (or both for a layered look), pillowcases, and optionally a bedspread or throw for a finishing layer. Each piece needs to be sized for Australian Super King dimensions for a balanced, tailored finish.
Standard tailored pillowcases (50 × 75 cm) fit standard Australian pillows and suit Super King beds when arranged in pairs across the head of the bed. Tailored King pillowcases (50 × 90 cm) are wider and proportioned specifically for the visual scale of a Super King bed, often used in pairs at the back with standard pillowcases in front for a layered look. Euro pillowcases (65 × 65 cm) work as decorative back-row pillows.
No. Australian Super King (203 × 203 cm) is a different dimension from US California King (193 × 213 cm) — Australian Super King is wider and shorter. Bedding sized for US California King will not fit an Australian Super King mattress correctly. All Flaxfield Super King bedding is cut to Australian dimensions.
A quilt cover encloses your quilt insert and provides everyday warmth. A bedspread is a separate decorative top layer that adds texture and weight without an insert. It can be used instead of a quilt in warmer months, or layered over the quilt cover for a more finished, hotel-style look. Many homes use both: quilt cover in winter, bedspread folded at the foot of the bed in summer.
Fitted sheets are the only piece affected by mattress depth. Flaxfield Super King fitted sheets are available in a deep-sided depth of 43 cm. Quilt covers, flat sheets, pillowcases and bedspreads are unaffected by mattress depth.
Yes. All Flaxfield Super King bedding is built on the same 400 thread count long-staple cotton sateen base, so the fabric feel and weight is consistent across the range. This means a Classique embroidered quilt cover can be paired with plain fitted sheets and a Siena quilted bedspread without any difference in fabric quality or finish.
Build a complete Super King bed, one category at a time
Start with the layer you need first. Most shoppers begin with a quilt cover set or fitted sheets — then add the others over time. Every piece is built to layer with the rest of the range.
