How Big is An Emperor Size Bed?

So how big is an Emperor-Size bed? I get asked this question an awful lot at the Furl showroom, as bed sizes can so often vary. Emperor Size though, is the largest available standard size. There aren’t many companies that make this size of bed. But you’re in luck, as we are one of the companies that do!
Emperor Bed Size
An Emperor bed is the largest bed you can buy, and the mattress size will measure:
- Length: 2m / 6ft 6 inches
- Width: 2m / 6ft 6 inches
A frame for an Emperor bed will be a little larger than the mattress, but our frames are slim and only add 4cm to the width and the length. Therefore, the total bed footprint is 204cm wide x 204cm long. If an integrated headboard is included, the length would extend to 210cm, which is standard for beds accommodating a 2-meter mattress length. This means the total footprint for one of our emperor beds including the frame and headboard is:
- Length: 214cm
- Width: 204cm
- Mattress: 200cm x 200cm
What is The Difference Between an Emperor Size Bed and a Super King Bed?
An Emperor Size Bed is the largest standard-sized bed available in the United Kingdom. Measuring 6 feet 6 inches by 6 feet 6 inches (200cm x 200cm), whereas a Super King Bed measures measures 6 feet by 6 feet 6 inches (180cm x 200cm) making an Emperor Bed approximately 6 inches wider than a super king bed. Imagine sleeping in a bed that's wider and even more luxurious than a Super King Bed!
On the other hand, the Super King Bed is perfect for average-sized bedrooms, offering the perfect balance between space and room size. It provides enough room for couples to be comfortable whilst being more budget-friendly too compared to Emperor beds. When it comes to choosing between the two, consider your space requirements, budget, and the level of luxury and comfort you desire for your sleep every night. But either way, you’ll be making a fantastic choice.

When it comes to selecting fabrics for your Emperor Size Bed, we have a range of luxurious options to choose from. Our Easy Velvet option is a plush and soft fabric that adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to your bed. It offers a rich texture and a luxurious feel, perfect for creating a cosy and inviting bedroom.
Another fantastic choice is our sumptuous Linen Mix. Known for its breathability and natural look, this fabric is light and airy, ideal for creating a fresh and relaxed atmosphere in your bedroom.
If you’re looking for a fabric that exudes luxury and style, you can’t go far wrong with Leather. It adds a sleek and sophisticated touch to your bed, creating a statement piece in your bedroom decor. Leather is durable, easy to clean and offers a timeless appeal that can elevate the overall aesthetic of any room too.
Lastly, Boucle is a textured fabric that brings warmth and depth to your bed. The Boucle design has continued to grow in recent years and it’s easy to see why. With its unique appearance, it not only looks amazing but is super comfortable to rest on too.

Does an Emperor Size Bed offer Enough Storage Space?
All our beds are designed with storage in mind, and we offer fully customisable options too, allowing you to choose the storage features that suit your needs. We also offer fully customisable options too. Starting at 800 litres in our Simplicity bed through to 1400 litres in our Max bed, our beds offer ample storage space, allowing you to keep your bedroom organised and clutter-free. Our Emperor beds come in different standard depths depending on the model you choose:
- Max - our deepest bed at 35cm / 1400 litres
- Illusion - a popular favourite at 33cm deep / 1320 litres
- Air Storage & Air Wood Storage - 33cm deep / 1320 litres
- Simplicity - our shallowest bed at 20cm / 800 litres
But you can also request additional storage space on all of our models so if the standard depths don’t give you enough space just talk to our team and see what’s possible.
All of our Emperor Size beds are made to order too, allowing you to hand-pick various aspects. For example, you can choose which fabric you’d like the bed to be upholstered in. Secondly, whether you would like a headboard or not and which one from our fantastic range you’d like to choose. We offer mattresses too, but if you already have a mattress in the Emperor Size that you’d like to continue to use, then that will comfortably fit our bed frames.
Choosing between an Emperor Bed and a Super King Bed might be a difficult decision, but fear not! This article is here to help you pick the perfect bed for you and your home. By really thinking about what you need and want, you'll find the ideal bed for a super cosy and peaceful night's sleep that will last for years to come.
