Emperor Bed (UK)
Last reviewed: March 2026
The Emperor bed is the most commonly referenced oversized bed size in the United Kingdom, though its exact dimensions are not standardized. Most retailers sell Emperor beds at either 200×200 cm or 213×213 cm, which can cause confusion. This lack of standardization is one of the key challenges when shopping for an Emperor bed in the UK market.
Editor's Picks
If you want the Emperor experience with more flexibility, FAMBED® ships to the UK and lets you choose any width from 200–360 cm.
The Emperor bed is well-suited for:
- UK families looking for a larger bed
- Couples who want more space than a Super King
- Parents co-sleeping with children
- Those with large master bedrooms
Minimum Room Size
An Emperor bed requires a room that is at least 13 feet wide and 13 feet long. In many UK homes, this means the master bedroom or a converted room.
Advantages of an Emperor Bed
- Significant upgrade from Super King
- Square shape provides balanced space
- Available from several UK retailers
- Same dimensions as a Wyoming King
Considerations
- Requires a large bedroom by UK standards
- Specialist bedding required
- It is a fixed, standard size with no customization option
The Emperor bed is the UK's most popular oversized bed option, providing a meaningful upgrade from the Super King without requiring an exceptionally large room.
