Emperor isn’t a standardised size in the UK the way Double or King are. We build to 1990 × 2005 mm, but mattresses sold as “Emperor” or “Super Emperor” turn up at 200 × 200, 202 × 200 and 215 × 215 mm — all different products. Confirm your customer’s actual mattress dimensions before ordering; we would rather check twice than ship a frame that doesn’t fit.
Two-part frame, one 1200N gas spring per side, 48 slats split 24 to a side — the strongest springs and the most slats in the range, reflecting the size and weight this base is built to carry. On a dense pocket-sprung mattress at this size, tell us the mattress weight when you order and we’ll confirm the spring rating; heavier 1350N and 1450N variants exist and can be quoted on request.
Steel frame and mechanism arrive assembled. Slats, fixings and fitting instructions are boxed separately inside the same pallet.
Frames plus freight
The frame price is fixed. Freight depends on how many pallets you take and where they go, so it is shown as a range here and confirmed exactly with your quotation.
| Shipment | Frames | Freight, EUR | Freight, GBP | Per frame |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 pallet | 30 | €650.00–€800.00 | £572.00–£704.00 | £117.63–£122.03 |
| 2 pallets | 60 | €1,150.00–€1,400.00 | £1,012.00–£1,232.00 | £115.43–£119.09 |
| 3 pallets | 90 | €1,450.00–€1,700.00 | £1,276.00–£1,496.00 | £112.74–£115.18 |
| 4+ pallets | 120+ | On request | ||
Mixing sizes lowers the freight cost per frame, because the rate follows the total number of pallets rather than the size. Ask for a mixed load in your enquiry.
Freight estimates cover England and Wales mainland and include Polish export clearance, UK import clearance and delivery booking-in. The exact figure depends on quantity and delivery postcode and is confirmed with your quotation. Scotland, Northern Ireland, the islands and central London are priced separately. Prices exclude VAT. Invoiced in EUR; GBP is for guidance only, converted at €1 = £0.88and reviewed quarterly (last reviewed 2026-08-26).
You will need a forklift or a loading dock
A pallet measures 210 × 120 × 150 cm and weighs 800–1,000 kg, which is beyond what a tail-lift can handle. Kerbside delivery is not possible, so tell us before dispatch how the vehicle will be unloaded.
Before you order
What is the minimum order?
One pallet. Emperor's dimensions and weight mean pallet capacity for this size is still being confirmed — see the specification table for the current figure.
Do I pay UK import duty?
No. Bed bases fall under commodity code 9403 20 at 0% duty, supported by a statement of origin on our invoice. You act as importer of record and account for import VAT, normally through postponed VAT accounting.
Can you make the frame a different length?
Yes. We build 1800, 1900, 2100 and 2200 mm as a modification, which carries a surcharge. Tell us the finished mattress size and we will confirm the frame dimensions.
How long does an order take?
Three to four weeks in production from the confirmed order, plus roughly a week in transit. Production starts once prepayment clears.
Can I order a sample first?
Single frames ship by parcel carrier at a higher unit cost. Most buyers take one pallet as a first order instead, since the freight per frame is far lower.
