Super King is the larger by 40.4% in area. Super King is 45 cm wider, and Super King is 10 cm longer.
Which one to buy
Super King is bigger on both edges, 45 cm wider and 10 cm longer. It is the straightforward upgrade, and the 45 cm of width is also 45 cm of floor you no longer have.
Does the same bedding fit both?
No. 45 cm of width and 10 cm of length are far outside what a fitted sheet absorbs. Buy for the size you own and read the centimetres, not the label.
Space per person
Shared between two adults, Double gives each sleeper 68 cm and Super King gives 90 cm. For comparison, a single bed is 90 cm wide, so anything under that is less room each than a single bed gives one person.
Room each one needs
With 60 cm to walk down each side and 60 cm at the foot: 255 × 250 cm for Double, 300 × 260 cm for Super King — a difference of 45 cm in the room, not just the bed. Against a wall on one side, take 60 cm off.
