Why is an Emperor Mattress your Dream Investment?

What is an Emperor Mattress?

An Emperor mattress is a very large UK bed size and there are 2 sizes that are referred to as Emperor. It is therefore important to check the actual size of the mattress you are ordering, and not order by name alone.

• 200cm x 200cm (6'6" in x 6'6") known as a small emperor, but sometimes an Emperor mattress.

At Big Brand beds we refer to the 200cm x 200cm as a small emperor and the 215cm x 215cm an an emperor mattress. 

Benefits of an Emperor Mattress

Investing in an emperor mattress is more than just a purchase; it's a commitment to your well-being. One of the primary benefits of this mattress is its unparalleled comfort.

This ensures that pressure points, which can cause discomfort and pain, are alleviated, allowing you to enjoy a restful and uninterrupted sleep.

• An emperor mattress creates a sense of indulgence and luxury, like a hotel suite in your own bedroom. The sheer size feels spacious and relaxing.

• By investing in a mattress that supports your body and enhances your sleep environment, you can significantly improve your health and well-being.

Things to Consider when Buying an Emperor Mattress

• Access is critical. These mattresses are very big and bigger than the standard door way, so it is essential to check the route your delivery will take. Often we deliver through double patio doors at the back of house as they will not go through a front door. Although empoer mattresses have a little 'wiggle room', they should not be bent or folded. They are heavy and bulky so access (stairs, doorways, room heights) must be checked. It is the customers responsibility to check that the delivery can be completed with suitable access. 
• Make sure your room is big enough to accomodate an emperor bed. We had a case where a customer (a friend of the business) took delivery of his emperor bed and discovered he couldn't fully open his wardrobe doors. He was determined to keep the bed, so had the doors removed.
• Bedding and accessories are not necessarly a standard item. Although readily available, they are generally made to order

If you have the space, budget, and lifestyle for it, a emperor mattress offers the ultimate comfort and luxury. But if your room is on the smaller side, a small emperor (200cm x 200cm) or super king size (180cm x 200cm) might be more practical. Still determined to buy an emperor mattress? The other option is to buy a zipped mattress, two 107.5cm x 215cm mattresses zipped together. This option significantly helps with access and handling issues.
