There’s nothing better than sinking into the sheets after a hard day. But does your bed cut the mustard for quality slumber? If not, perhaps a new bed could improve the experience. 


Choosing a new bed is a big investment, not just in money but in wellbeing too. So, it’s essential to make the right choice. If you have the space, bigger is often better as it provides plenty of room if sharing with a partner. 


The question lies on how big do you want to go? We’ve all heard of king size and super king, but have you considered an emperor bed? 


Read on to discover how one of the UK’s biggest bed sizes could be the perfect addition to your bedroom. 

 

What is an emperor bed? 

 

The emperor bed is one of the largest bed sizes available in the UK. This size commonly falls into to classesstandard Emperor and Large Emperor. 

Emperor mattresses measure 6ft 6” by 6ft 6” and are the next size up from a super king. The Large Emperor is bigger still and measures 7ft by 7ft. 
This bed size will create a big impact in any bedroom and is ideal for a comfortable night’s sleep. But while having the biggest bed on the market can be a blessing, it can also have some drawbacks. Below we’ll cover the key pros and cons for you.

Choosing an emperor bed is the perfect option to achieve this. In addition, the selection of a well-crafted mattress to accompany your bed frame will create a luxurious retreat in your home. 
You can even opt for extra features such as pipped edging, supportive cushioning and hypoallergenic properties.
