ALASKAN KING BEDS & MATTRESSES MADE TO ORDER IN THE UK

Looking for an Alaskan King bed in the UK? Any of our bed frames or mattresses can be made in an Alaskan King size, as well as other oversized and fully custom sizes.

A true Alaskan King is around 9ft / 275cm wide, so it needs a genuinely large bedroom to work well.

We can make this size to order, but we can also help you compare it with other generous oversized options such as a 245cm x 220cm Caesar bed or a 215cm x 215cm Emperor bed, which are often easier to live with in UK homes.

  • Alaskan King, Caesar, Emperor, Small Emperor, extra-long and fully custom sizes available
  • Zipped mattresses, multi-part bases and split headboards available for easier access
  • We can help you choose the largest and most suitable size bed for your room and budget

Not sure which oversized bed size you need?

Many people discover Alaskan King beds while looking for the biggest bed available, but a different oversized or bespoke size may be a better fit for most UK bedrooms.

Size Typical Dimensions Best For
Small Emperor 200cm x 200cm A generous square bed that fits many larger UK bedrooms
Emperor 215cm x 215cm Our most popular large bed size; spacious but still practical
Caesar 245cm x 220cm For very large rooms where Emperor is not quite big enough
Two UK Doubles Together Approx. 270cm x 190cm Very wide, but short; not ideal if you want proper oversized proportions
Super Caesar / UK Alaskan King 275cm x 220cm Full 9ft width, but shorter and more practical than a full US Alaskan King
US Alaskan King 275cm x 275cm We make this size but it may not be suited for most UK bedrooms

Why not just put two double beds together?

Two standard UK double beds side by side will give you a very wide sleeping space, around 9ft / 270cm wide, but each mattress is usually only 6ft 3in / 190cm long. That can work for some rooms, but it is not the same as a properly made oversized bed - the mattresses and bases may also not be linked correctly.

A made-to-order large bed can be built as one complete design, with the right length, matching base, suitable mattress options, proper support, and a headboard made to suit the finished size. We can also make zip and link mattresses, split bases and split headboards if access is tight.

Easy access options for very large beds

Large beds do not have to be difficult to deliver. We regularly make zip and link beds and mattresses, including zipped mattresses, two-piece or four-piece bases and split headboards, to help with narrow stairs, tight turns and awkward access.

So the bed arrived and has been installed for a couple of days now and I just wanted to let you know that I absolutely love it! It was such a pleasure ordering through you and the bed is stunning, and the best part is that we were able to design a unique custom made bed, at a reasonable price, that we love. Thank you again!
