Choosing an Emperor Mattress

A standard emperor mattress is 7ft wide by 6ft 6in long, a foot wider than a super king. The Henry Smeaton Platinum and Diamond pocket sprung models shown here are handmade to order in Yorkshire. Made-to-measure lengths up to 8ft are available. Compare the full construction, fillings and feel of each model rather than choosing by spring count alone.

We generally recommend a zip-link construction for an emperor mattress. The Platinum and Diamond models have substantial spring units and fillings, so their weight makes a single-piece mattress impractical in most cases. Two sections are easier to move through stairs, doorways and tight turns. Each half of a standard emperor is approximately 3ft 6in wide. We will check the model, weight and access route with you before ordering. There is no additional charge for a zip-link mattress in emperor size.

Delivery and installation are free for a mattress ordered on its own or with a bed frame. When you buy a new mattress, we can also remove and recycle your old one for an additional fee. Read about mattress recycling.

Henry Smeaton mattresses have a five-year guarantee, except the Diamond 14,000, which has a ten-year guarantee. These pocket sprung mattresses are rotate only and should not be turned over. Follow the individual model’s care instructions. You can compare the range at our showroom or call 01777 869 669 about size, feel and access. See the terms of our 21-day money-back promise.

Emperor Mattresses FAQs

A standard emperor mattress is 7ft wide by 6ft 6in long. Made-to-measure lengths up to 8ft are available. Check the outside dimensions of your chosen emperor bed frame, which will be larger than the mattress that sits within it.

Yes. A Caesar mattress is the next named size in our range at 8ft wide by 6ft 6in long. We can make lengths up to 8ft to order across mattress widths.

Tell us about stairs, turns, doorways and other tight points before ordering. We generally recommend a zip-link emperor mattress because the Platinum and Diamond models have substantial spring units and fillings and can be very heavy as one piece. The two sections are easier to carry and zip together on the bed. A standard 7ft emperor zip-link has two approximately 3ft 6in-wide sections. We will check the model, weight and route with you. There is no additional zip-link charge at emperor size.

Prices vary by model, size and any made-to-measure requirements. Current prices for the Platinum and Diamond emperor models are shown on their product pages. An emperor zip-link has no additional zip-link charge. We can confirm a quote for any custom requirements before you order.

The Platinum and Diamond ranges use different spring constructions and upholstery, so compare the whole mattress, its feel and firmness. The Diamond range includes the 14,000, 11,000 and 7,000 models; Platinum includes the 5,700 and 3,700 models on this page. The Diamond 14,000 has a lambswool pillow top and a ten-year guarantee. Other Henry Smeaton mattresses have a five-year guarantee. Ask us to compare specific models or visit the showroom to try them.

For the pocket sprung models, the number indicates the spring count in a king-size mattress. The listed emperor range includes Platinum 3,700 and 5,700, and Diamond 7,000, 11,000 and 14,000. Spring count is only one part of the design. Spring units, fillings, comfort layers and tension all affect how a mattress feels, so compare the complete construction.

Firmness varies by model and the available tension. Check the firmness information on each product page, then compare the fillings and comfort layers as well as the spring unit. You can read our mattress buying guide or try models at the showroom. If you are unsure, ask us to compare specific options.

Yes. A standard emperor mattress is 7ft wide by 6ft 6in long, compared with 6ft wide by 6ft 6in long for a super king mattress. Bed frames have larger outside dimensions than the mattresses within them, so check the chosen frame’s footprint before ordering.

When you buy a new mattress, we can remove and recycle your old one for an additional fee. Read about the mattress recycling service. Ask us about collection requirements when you order.
