For bedrooms with truly generous proportions, our upholstered emperor beds create an impressive centrepiece and an exceptionally spacious place to sleep. Combining beautiful fabrics, padded headboards and statement silhouettes, each upholstered emperor bed is designed to bring comfort, texture and a sense of luxury to larger bedrooms.

At 215 x 215cm (7' x 7'), a French Bedroom emperor bed gives you an abundance of space to stretch out and unwind. Whether you share your bed with a partner, welcome children in for slow weekend mornings, or simply love having plenty of room to yourself, an emperor bed gives you the freedom to spread out without compromise.

Choose from buttoned headboards, softly curved shapes and contemporary fabric finishes to find an upholstered emperor bed frame that suits both your bedroom and the way you like to relax.

Why Choose an Upholstered Emperor Bed?

An emperor bed is the ideal choice when both bedroom space and sleeping comfort are priorities. Its generous width and length give couples considerably more personal sleeping space, helping you move, stretch and settle without disturbing one another. And if little ones, or four-legged family members, have a habit of joining you in bed, there is plenty more room for everyone.

Of course, you don't need to share it! An emperor bed also offers the ultimate amount of space for one person to stretch out, read, relax or simply enjoy the feeling of having a beautifully spacious bed all to themselves.

The scale of an upholstered emperor bed makes it particularly well suited to a large master bedroom or bedroom suite. A substantial padded headboard helps anchor the room, while fabric upholstery introduces warmth and softness, creating a bed that feels inviting despite its impressive proportions.

How Choose a Mattress for an Emperor Bed?

The right emperor mattress is just as important as the bed frame itself. With such a generous sleeping surface, choosing a high-quality mattress with the right balance of comfort and support will help you make the most of all that additional space.

Pair your upholstered emperor bed with a luxury emperor mattress designed to fit the frame, choosing the firmness and feel that best suits the way you sleep. Whether you prefer a softer, more cushioned feel or greater support, your mattress and upholstered bed frame can work together to create a wonderfully comfortable place to rest.

How Do You Style an Upholstered Emperor Bed?

With an emperor bed, proportion is key. Generously layered bed linen, pillows, cushions and a wide bedspread or throw will complement the scale of the frame, while substantial bedside tables and well-proportioned lighting will help balance the room around it.

Allow the fabric and shape of your upholstered headboard to guide the wider scheme, picking up complementary textures and tones through your bedding, bedroom furniture and accessories.
