The cabin pressure a B787 or A380 may achieve is different from what is actually set. Maintaining pressure between 6000 - 7000 ft is the norm because anything less puts additional stress on the airframe lessening the longevity of the aircraft.

So, hype aside, your A380 isn't pressurised much differently to your B747. It just can be.
