Emperor Beds
Every one an ottoman. Up to 40cm of storage underneath.
An emperor bed is the biggest bed you can buy as standard. Ours take a 200 × 200cm mattress, 20cm wider than a super king. Every Furl emperor size bed is an ottoman: the whole base lifts, with up to 40cm of storage underneath.
Each one is handmade to order in Nottingham, delivered in sections so it gets up the stairs, and built in your room by our own team. Try them at Chelsea or Swiss Cottage, with a 60-day home trial.

Emperor bed questions
How big is an emperor size bed?
Our emperor beds take a 200 × 200cm mattress (6ft 6in square). The frame adds just 4cm, so most of our emperor beds are 204cm wide and 204cm long, or 210cm long with a headboard. Full detail in our emperor bed size guide.
Emperor vs super king: what's the difference?
A super king mattress is 180 × 200cm. An emperor is 200 × 200cm, so you get an extra 20cm of width, 10cm each side. Same length, so it fits a room built for a super king if you have the width.
Some emperor beds are 7ft. Can you make one?
Yes. UK sizes vary: our standard emperor takes a 200 × 200cm mattress, and we also make a 7ft (215 × 215cm) emperor to order. Check your mattress size, then ask us.
What size room do I need for an emperor bed?
Allow about 60cm to walk round the sides and foot of the bed. That means a room roughly 3.3m wide and 2.8m long.
Will an emperor bed get up my stairs?
Yes. Every Furl bed is delivered in sections and built in your room by our own team, so tight stairs and narrow doors aren't a problem.
How much storage is under an emperor ottoman bed?
Four square metres of it. Depth depends on the bed: 40cm on the Max with the Plus option, 38cm on Air or Illusion with the extra 5cm, 35cm on Max Wood, 20cm on the Low.
Can I get an emperor bed with no headboard?
Yes. Every emperor bed comes with or without a headboard.
