Your Sleep Matters!
Did you know that sleeping 60 to 90 minutes longer every night can make you healthier and happier?
This is great news if you're the proud owner of the Emma Original, the UK's most-awarded mattress that guarantees you a great night's sleep 😴
But does this mattress live up to the hype?
And is it the right mattress for you? 🤔
We'll help you decide in this UK Emma mattress review.
Let's dive right in 👇
The Emma Original is a high-quality memory foam mattress with a height of 25 cm (10 inches).
It is comprised of three different foam layers that work together to offer optimal comfort, stability, spinal support, and temperature regulation.
The three different foam layers are:
The patented pressure-relieving Airgocell technology promises a high level of comfort.
The foam consists of approximately 50% air, which helps heat escape and regulates temperature within the mattress.
Memory foam offers excellent pressure relief.
It adapts optimally to your body shape, giving you that soft and enveloping body-hugging feeling 🤗
The layer of memory foam in the Emma Original mattress is relatively thin, though, so you'll feel the benefits of memory foam with none of the drawbacks such as excessive heat retention or difficulty moving.
The HRX polyfoam is a firmer cold foam base layer that offers support and stability to an otherwise soft mattress.
This base layer features contour zones.
These help the mattress offer more support where needed (for the lighter parts of your body) and more sinkage where needed (for your hips and shoulders). This helps with optimal spinal alignment.
The cold foam layer also limits any long-term sagging of the mattress, ensuring that your Emma Original will last for a long time.
All the foams used in the Emma mattress are high-density foams, with an average density of 57 kg/m³.
A high density is a good indicator of quality, durability, and lifespan.
The high-density foams ensure you can enjoy your mattress for many years to come.
We can highly recommend the Emma mattress to lighter-weight sleepers and side sleepers of all body types.
As a softer mattress, the Emma Original is especially suited to side sleepers as it allows for optimal spinal alignment.
But lighter-weight sleepers will also find the Emma mattress comfortable.
It's also an excellent orthopaedic mattress, so it'll be well-suited to people with back problems.
Heavier-weight sleepers, especially if they're back or stomach sleepers, should try out the mattress first to see if it offers enough support. Luckily, the risk-free trial period allows you to do just that.
We can also recommend the Emma mattress to people looking for a temperature-neutral mattress. Though, heavy sweaters would be better off choosing a pocket sprung mattress, which allows for greater breathability
The Emma mattress is also fantastic for couples as it has excellent motion isolation. This means that you won't feel your partner toss and turn at night.
Memory foam can be quite difficult to move around on (as it hugs your body), so the Emma mattress won't be suitable for very restless sleepers.
| The Emma mattress is best suited to: | The Emma mattress is less suited to: |
| Lighter-weight people | Heavier-weight back and stomach sleepers |
| Side sleepers of any weight | Heavy sweaters |
| People with orthopaedic complaints | Restless sleepers |
| Couples |
We expand upon each of these points in more detail further on.
The Emma Original is rated as a medium-firm mattress but we would definitely call it a soft mattress - that's still surprisingly comfortable.
It offers that sleeping-on-a-cloud feeling but still provides sufficient support and stability, allowing you to enjoy your best night's sleep 💤
We'd rate it at 4 out of 10 on the Sleep Hero firmness scale, where 1 is the softest and 10 the firmest.
To test the firmness of the Emma Original, we measured how deeply we sank into the foams.
This is a good indicator of how supportive the mattress would be for different sleepers.
To test this, we used three different sleepers and measured their sinkage depths in various positions. We always measure at the same place. If sleeping on the stomach, we measure at the stomach. If sleeping on the back and sides, we measure at the shoulders and hips.
Our experiment gave the following results:
| Person A (1.65 m / 62 kg) | Person B (1.79 m / 70 kg) | Person C (1.95 m / 85 kg) | |
| Sleeping on the back | 5 cm (1.9 inches) | 6 cm (2.3 inches) | 6.5 cm (2.5 inches) |
| Sleeping on the side | 5.5 cm (2.1 inches) | 6 cm (2.3 inches) | 7.5 cm (2.9 inches) |
| Sleeping on the stomach | 5 cm (1.9 inches) | 6 cm (2.3 inches) | 7 cm (2.7 inches) |
| Sitting on the edge | 7.5 cm (2.9 inches) | 8 cm (3.1 inches) | 9 cm (3.5 inches) |
These values are typical of softer mattresses.
Our lightest and medium-weight test sleepers didn't sink in too deeply - or too little.
This means that the Emma Original gives just the right amount of support to lighter-weight people or those of smaller builds.
But, you'll notice that our heavier test sleeper sank into the mattress quite a bit.
Even though the body's heavier parts remained well supported, promoting healthy spinal alignment, heavier-weight sleepers or larger builds may interpret the Emma Original as too soft. Try the Nectar mattress or the Emma Hybrid instead.
It's also best to make use of the risk-free trial period to see if the mattress is right for you.
Luckily, Emma offers all its customers a 200-day period in which they can try the mattress. And, if you're not fully satisfied, you'll get a full refund 💵
Given that the Emma Original is a soft mattress, it doesn't offer great edge support.
This means that you'll feel as if you're sliding off the mattress when sitting on the edge or sleeping very close to the edge of the mattress.
While this is to be expected with softer mattresses, it is worth keeping in mind if you like to use the entire width of your mattress - or if you're sharing your bed with a partner.
Our suggestion would be to opt for a king-size mattress - or larger - to ensure that both you and your partner have enough space on the mattress to sleep comfortably 💑
The Emma mattress UK is only available at one level of firmness. But this does not mean you can't adjust things a little.
Emma UK offers you one free layer to help soften or firm up the mattress if you find it isn't quite working for you.
All you need to do is contact Emma's senior support team at support@emma-mattress.co.uk.
Their customer service is incredible, and this is a fantastic way for them to help their customers achieve maximum comfort.
While testing the mattress for our Emma mattress review, our team described the feeling of lying on the Emma Original as 'pleasantly soft' ☁️
This can largely be explained by the combination of the two upper comfort layers.
Both Airgocell and memory foam are highly adaptable and conform to the shape of your body. They are also very point-elastic, meaning that they can relieve pressure well and help your muscles relax.
Since the Emma Original is a softer mattress, it is exceptionally comfortable when sleeping on your side.
This is because your shoulders and pelvis - the heavier parts of your body - can sink into the mattress more deeply.
Yet, it still offers enough support for the lighter parts of your body, like your feet and arms.
This combination allows your spine to remain in optimal alignment.
The Emma Original is a brilliant choice if you're looking for an orthopaedic mattress to help reduce back pain.
If you have a bad back or some orthopaedic concerns, you want to be searching for optimal spinal alignment, which the Emma mattress allows for.
In addition, it also distributes pressure well and allows your muscles to relax fully, which can relieve any tension you may be experiencing.
That said, the Emma Original may be too soft for heavier-weight sleepers (averaging 90 kg [198 lbs] or more) or for people who sleep purely on their back or stomach.
These sleeping positions require more hip support, which the Emma Original may not give.
If your hips aren't adequately supported, you're likely to experience some lower back pain.
If this is a concern or you fall into this latter category, then we'd highly recommend you make use of the risk-free trial period to see if the mattress works for you.
You might also find the Simba Hybrid or the Nectar mattress quite comfortable.
These are also medium-firm mattresses but they're a little firmer than the Emma Original, and you'll be able to enjoy a little more support.
What a pleasant discovery - the adaptability of this mattress is great! Definitely a first. My first impression is that it hugs the body well, no matter your sleeping position. It feels like you're sleeping in a cocoon with full-body comfort. And it really allows your muscles to relax!

The Emma Original mattress regulates body temperature effectively 🌡
Even though memory foam mattresses are generally warmer and retain more heat than other mattress materials, the Emma mattress regulates temperature surprisingly well.
This is because the Airgocell layer and the fine-meshed top cover increase breathability and airflow and reduce heat storage.
We did not sweat during the test sleep for our UK Emma Original mattress review, despite some of our team members testing in 25-degree summer weather and others sharing their bed with a partner ⛱
That said, if you are a very heavy sweater, we would recommend opting for a hybrid mattress, such as the Emma Hybrid, or a pure pocket sprung mattress, which allows for the most breathability.
On the right, you'll see the result of our temperature test for the Emma mattress review.
It shows that the mattress only retains heat exactly where the test sleeper lies.
The rest of the mattress remains completely temperature neutral.
As soon as our test sleeper moved, the previously heated areas cooled down effectively because of the foams' breathability and top cover.
This is a testament to the mattress's cooling properties and proves that the Emma Original effectively regulates temperature.
The Emma Original has exceptionally low motion transfer and high point elasticity.
This makes it a great mattress for couples.
The foam layers absorb and dampen movements, ensuring that motion is not carried across the mattress.
To test the Emma Original for our Emma mattress review, we shared the mattress with a partner - and did not feel any movements. We also didn't feel our partner getting in and out of bed.
This all means that you can enjoy a restful sleep and won't be disturbed by your partner tossing and turning.
Of course, we don't want you to just take our word for it.
To really test the motion transfer abilities of the Emma mattress, we relied on science.
How so?
We used a measuring device to record:
As you can see, the device hardly recorded any movement, which is a testament to the low motion transfer of the Emma Original mattress.
We suggest that couples sharing a bed choose a larger mattress size for a more comfortable sleep.
While the standard double-size is sufficient, we'd recommend choosing a king-size mattress 👑
A king-size mattress will ensure that both you and your partner have ample space to toss and turn, especially considering the lack of edge support with the Emma Original.
For our Emma Original mattress review, we tested the Emma king-size mattress with a partner and slept comfortably.
The Emma mattress features a simple yet elegantly designed cover.
The Emma mattress cover is predominantly made of polyester.
We liked the top cover of the mattresses - it's thick and luxurious, incredibly soft, and pleasant to lie on.
You can also remove the cover and machine-wash it at 60 degrees.
This is fantastic if you have any hygiene concerns.
It also makes the Emma Original a hypoallergenic choice that's great for people prone to allergies 🤧
The Emma mattress has four side carrying handles, which makes moving the mattress or turning it around much more manageable.
However, the handles are relatively weak and can tear quickly, especially if you're handling the mattress more roughly or dealing with one of the larger mattress sizes.
Emma UK also offers you the option of buying a replacement mattress cover.
This replacement cover has the same specifications as the original cover.
Emma mattresses are available in all the standard UK sizes.
These include:
The Emma mattress is 25 cm (10 inches) thick and can support a maximum weight of 130 kg (286 lbs) per person.
This is standard for most high-quality mattresses, and you'll find that most protectors and bedsheets will fit the Emma.
This is also the optimal height for box springs as it creates an aesthetically appealing bed and ensures that getting in and out of bed is less strenuous.
The Emma Original is a well-priced mattress.
It's more expensive than many cheaper mattresses, such as those in the IKEA range, but it's also of much higher quality.
Still, you don't have to pay as much as you would for a luxury product like a Tempur mattress.
And the quality is certainly comparable!
(Note: prices listed below are standard prices excluding any current coupons & discounts)
Even though the Emma Original is a great value-for-money mattress, you'll be pleased to hear that Emma UK regularly offers discount vouchers, promotions, and sales 🥳

The Emma Original is an award-winning and bestselling mattress that's been ranked as one of the best mattresses in the UK for numerous years in a row 🏆
It has been voted as the UK’s number 1 mattress by the Which? Consumers’ Association.
It has also received accolades from a dozen other UK establishments, including:
The Emma Original mattress has also received several awards and recognitions in other European countries, including the Netherlands, Belgium, France, and Germany.
Also, the Emma Original has a 4.6 rating and over 18 000 customer reviews on the Emma mattress Trustpilot page.
The Emma Original is one of Which?'s highest-scoring mattresses and has been rewarded with their Best Buy seal of approval.
Indeed, their highest score is 81% and the Emma Original mattress received an astounding 80% 🎉
Which? describes the mattress as being supportive, breathable, stable, exceptionally durable, and very easy to move on.
The only con they've listed is that moving the mattress could be slightly easier as the four side carrying handles aren't perfect - which we had noticed as well.
Besides the mattresses, Emma UK also offers other sleeping accessories.
More on these below.
Emma also offers a high-quality mattress topper, but this is not yet available in the UK.
If you are looking for a mattress topper, we can recommend the Eve mattress topper.
The Emma Pillow features three interchangeable layers of foam:
You can sleep on one, two, or all three layers and choose whether you prefer the more supportive HRX side or the more comfortable memory foam side.
The Emma Original Pillow has been designed to relieve pressure points and reduce neck pain, no matter which sleeping position you prefer.
The pillow is also thermoregulated and features an extra-breathable cover, which allows you to enjoy a cooler sleep.
The Emma Cloud pillow is a fluffy microfiber pillow that gives you that "sleeping on a cloud" feeling.
It contains two layers, a thicker and denser microfiber layer and a thinner and softer microfiber layer.
You can adjust which layer you sleep on - or how many layers - to fully customise the pillow for your preferred feel and chosen sleeping position.
The Emma Cloud pillow is available in one standard size, 50 x 70 cm (19.6 inches x 27.5 inches).
The pillow is completely washable, from cover to filling, and is guaranteed to stay fluffy without clumping, thanks to the ForeverPlush technology.
The Emma mattress protector is an additional layer that you can place over your mattress cover to extend your mattress's lifespan and protect it from spills, stains, bacteria, and dirt.
The Emma mattress protector is waterproof, breathable, and anti-bacterial.
It is also hypoallergenic and can be machine-washed at 40℃, making it an excellent choice for anyone prone to allergies.
The Emma Cloud duvet is a microfiber duvet made of temperature-regulating fibres to keep you cool and refreshed throughout the night.
The breathable structure also limits the reproduction of bacteria, making this a hypoallergenic choice.
The duvet carries a tog rating of 6.7, making it the perfect choice for any season.
The Emma Cloud microfiber duvet is fully machine-washable up to 60°C.
There are currently two Emma bed frames available in the UK.
Both are great for your Emma mattress and provide a flat surface to place your mattress on.
The Emma Original Bed is an elegantly designed platform bed frame that allows for good airflow and excellent support 🛏
It's available in an elegant dark grey or light grey platform design with a headboard, perfect for any bedroom.
FlexiSlats provide additional support for your back, shoulders, and hips, enhancing the mattress's support.
The Emma Bed is available in two sizes:
It comes with free delivery and a 200-day risk-free trial period.
The Emma Platform Bed is a minimalist bed frame with a timeless design and does not come with a headboard.
It is quick and easy to assemble and designed to fit any bedroom.
The bed comes with free delivery, a 200-night trial period, and a 5-year guarantee.
Your new Emma mattress will be delivered free of charge and straight to your doorstep, generally within 1-3 working days anywhere in mainland UK.
Emma UK ships with UPS, DPD, and Rhenus.
Currently, Emma UK does not ship to the Channel Islands.
Your new mattress is delivered rolled up, vacuum-sealed, and protected in a compact 45 x 45 x 110 cm (17 inches x 17 inches x 43 inches) box specifically designed to fit through narrow passageways.
One person can easily carry the box 📦
You don't have to unpack your new Emma mattress immediately - it can be stored in the box for up to 4 weeks after delivery.
Emma UK also offers an old mattress removal service at an additional cost of £39.
You will need to select this option upon checkout, and the company will remove your old mattress when they deliver the new one.
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, however, you will need to bring the mattress to your building's front door as the couriers will not be allowed to enter your home.
We recommend you place your rolled-up and vacuum-sealed Emma mattress straight onto your bed frame after taking it out of the box.
This makes it easier to unfold and ensures that you won't have to carry it around once expanded.
Expansion happens all on its own.
The Emma mattress expands almost instantly as soon as you unfold it and reaches its full size once the plastic wrap has been removed.
Conveniently, Emma includes a handy cutter with your delivery that allows you to snip off the seal and plastic wrapping easily.
Note that full expansion can take up to 6 hours.
Rarely, such as when the mattress is vacuum packed a bit more tightly, mattresses can take up to 48 hours to expand fully.
You can sleep on your Emma mattress as soon as it has reached its full size, though we'd recommend airing it out for a few hours in a well-ventilated room before covering your new mattress with bedding.
You may notice a slight odour, referred to as off-gassing, when you first unpack the mattress. This is usual for new beds.
Off-gassing is neither toxic nor harmful.
But it can be a little uncomfortable.
The solution?
We recommend unpacking your new mattress in a well-ventilated room and let it air out.
The smell should dissipate quickly - within a matter of hours or a few days at most.
The mattress we received only had a slight chemical smell, which disappeared within a few hours.
The Emma mattress comes standard with a 200-day risk-free trial period, which begins with delivery 🚚
Emma used to offer a 100-night trial, but the UK's trial period has been extended due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
This is great as it gives you even more time to try out the mattress in the comfort of your own home.
Why are trial periods so important?
Well, it can take 4 - 6 weeks to get used to a new mattress. Sometimes even longer, depending on how different your previous mattress was.
This means you can't really judge a mattress until your body has gotten used to it.
Of course, if you wake up with back pains or can't sleep well even after 6 weeks, then the mattress might just not be right for you.
If at any point during the trial period you decide the mattress isn't right for you, you can simply return it.
Returns are free and organised and paid for by Emma UK.
Returns are also super easy - all you need to do is contact Emma's customer service via the returns portal.
You'll receive a full refund within 14 working days.
No, there is no need to keep your Emma box or any of the original packaging.
If you decide to return your Emma mattress, the couriers ordered to pick up the mattress will arrive with the packing materials.
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, couriers are not allowed to enter your home.
Emma requests that you please leave any items for return at the first door of your building, but not outside, to protect it from the elements.
If you're more familiar with a different mattress and would like to find out how the Emma Original mattress compares, then you may find the following mattress comparisons helpful.
Both the Eve mattress and the Emma mattress are made of high-quality materials, offer good support and stability, and provide a high level of comfort.
However, they are suitable for different sleepers.
The Eve Original will be perceived as slightly firmer, while the Emma Original is among the softest models on the market.
We would recommend the Eve Original to side sleepers, back sleepers, and stomach sleepers who like a medium-firm mattress.
We would recommend the Emma Original to side sleepers who like a soft mattress.

The Emma mattress and the Simba mattress are very different.
While both are high-quality mattresses, they are suited to vastly different profiles.
The Emma mattress is a soft memory foam mattress, making it most suitable for light- or average-weight side sleepers who enjoy that sleeping-on-a-cloud feel ⛅️
The Simba mattress is a hybrid mattress and features Aerocoil pocket springs and multiple layers of high-density foam.
This means that you really get the advantages of both coils and foam.
It is better suited to heavier sweaters and restless sleepers than the Emma Original is.
READ OUR FULL EMMA VS SIMBA COMPARISON
Both the Emma mattress and Tempur mattresses are made of high-quality memory foam.
Tempur is currently the only mattress brand that uses NASA-certified memory foam, and it is renowned for its superior quality.
However, Tempur mattresses are exceptionally expensive - often triple the price of the Emma mattress!
If you have an endless budget, Tempur is an excellent choice.
But we would recommend the Emma mattress as the quality is just as good and it offers much better value for money.
As our Emma mattress review has hopefully shown, we liked the Emma Original.
It is a good mattress to buy.
The Emma is a very high-quality foam mattress that offers support and stability while also providing that body-hugging comfort.
We particularly liked the combination of foams, the excellent motion transfer capabilities, and the cover's soft feel.
But the mattress is quite soft and will not be suitable for everyone.
Despite the above notes, we would highly recommend that you make use of the risk-free trial to see if the mattress is right for you.

This short video by Emma gives you an excellent overview of how Emma mattresses are made.
It also really explains the bed-in-a-box principle and shows the compression and rolling up of the mattress, which answers many of the questions that first-time bed-in-a-box mattress buyers may have.
Emma mattress prototypes are tested by humans and high-tech machines at their testing facility.
These tests verify several elements, including motion isolation and durability.
For the motion isolation tests, pressure is exerted onto one area of the mattress, which - if all goes well - sinks in while the rest of the mattress remains still.
For the durability tests, heavy barrels are rolled along the mattress to see how well the mattress can withstand continuous pressure and heavy weights 🏋️♀️
These tests ensure that all Emma mattresses are designed with high-quality features before they go into large-scale production.
Emma is a German company but all mattresses sold in the UK are also manufactured in the UK 🇬🇧
Emma UK complies with strict testing and safety requirements during the manufacturing process and ensures that all Emma mattresses comply with the BS 7177 regulation.
This means that the mattress is fire-retardant.
Even though the Emma Original is not an organic mattress, it contains no animal-based components and is 100% vegan.
The Emma mattress is made to last 10 - 12 years.
You shouldn't experience any premature mattress sagging before this time, but make sure that you're using a proper bed frame that will keep your mattress evenly supported.
Any quality divan base, box spring, or slatted base will work.
To ensure that you can rest easy and trust the quality of your purchase, the Emma Original mattress comes with a 10-year guarantee on manufacturing defects.
This warranty covers:
In the event of these, Emma will exchange your mattress.
To make sure that your Emma mattress lasts for as long as it's intended to, you need to take good care of it.
We answer your most frequently asked questions here.
You can use any quality bed base as long as it provides a flat surface for your mattress 🛏
We do not recommend slatted bases for Emma mattresses.
This is because slatted bases have gaps between the actual slats, and memory foam mattresses like the Emma tend to conform to this shape, leading to bumps and lumps in the long term.
No, washing the actual mattress is not recommended.
But, conveniently, the Emma mattress comes with a removable and machine-washable cover 🛀
We would recommend washing this cover at a high temperature (up to 60℃) once every couple of months, provided you're using a mattress protector to otherwise protect your mattress.
We always recommend using a mattress protector.
If you're not using a mattress protector, you may need to wash your Emma mattress cover more regularly.
You can also wash off single stains by hand, using a gentle washing detergent and a clean cloth.
The Emma mattress has been designed to support a maximum weight of 130 kg (286 lbs) ⚖️
If you exceed this upper weight limit, you're more likely to experience mattress sagging.
This will decrease the amount of support the mattress gives you, which may cause back pain.
It also drastically shortens the lifespan of your mattress.
Emma is a start-up company first established in Germany in 2015.
Contrary to popular belief, the name of the company doesn't pay tribute to the company's founder; instead, it is called Emma Mattress simply because "Emma" was a popular name when the business was first set up.
One of the leading thoughts behind starting Emma was to make the mattress market as transparent and consumer-oriented as the market in the United States.
The company's founder, Max Laarmann, believed that consumers should be able to buy a reasonably priced mattress online and benefit from a long and risk-free trial period.
Today, the Emma mattress is one of the most popular online beds, selling all over the UK, USA, Europe, Australia, and India.
The brand has also expanded and now offers a selection of mattresses and mattress accessories.
You can purchase your Emma product on the Emma UK website via credit card or PayPal. Online payments are secure.
Emma also offers financing options, and they’ve teamed up with Klarna to help you choose how and when to pay.
Simply select this option upon checkout.
Emma UK offers a friend referral programme, where you can share your unique code to give your friends a discount on their first purchase - and earn money in the process!
This is how it works:
You will have to make a minimum purchase of £290 to receive a referral code, and your friend will have to make a minimum purchase of £290 to use the discount.
The discount can be used in conjunction with other promotions that offer up to 30% off.
You can refer up to 8 friends.
Returned Emma mattresses don't go to waste.
Most of them are donated to charities.
If the mattresses are still in mint condition, they may also be refurbished and sold as Emma renewed mattresses via other Emma mattress stockists, such as eBay or Wowcher.
All renewed mattresses are checked for damages and sterilised. The inner and outer covers are also replaced, effectively rendering the mattresses new.
While a renewed Emma mattress review would give you the same results and quality assurance as this Emma Original mattress review, we would still recommend purchasing directly from Emma.
Renewed Emma mattresses may be available at a fraction of the original price, but they do not come with a trial period or a 10-year guarantee.
Yes, the Emma mattress is available on Amazon in the UK and via other Emma mattress stockists, including DFS, Carpetright, and John Lewis.
The 10-year guarantee is valid if you purchase from an approved seller, though delivery conditions are subject to change.
Note, though, that you will only receive a 14-day trial and a 6-month guarantee if you purchase refurbished mattresses through agents such as Wowcher, GoGroopie, or eBay.
We would recommend buying directly from the Emma website.
The Emma Original is a high-quality memory foam mattress and Emma's flagship product.
The Emma Essential is a budget mattress.
It is made up of 2 layers of foam:
The mattress has a height of 18 cm (7 inches) and is thus much thinner than the Emma Original.
Like the Emma Original, the Emma Essential also features a washable cover and non-slip base, is made in the UK, and comes with free delivery.
You won't benefit from a trial period, though, and the mattress only has a 5-year guarantee.
The Emma Essential is cheaper and a good choice if you're on a budget.
Both the Emma Original and the Emma Hybrid are high-quality mattresses by Emma.
The Emma Original is the flagship Emma mattress made primarily of memory foam.
It is a soft mattress, most suitable for light- to average-weight side sleepers.
The Emma Mattress Hybrid, in contrast, is a hybrid mattress that features supportive mini pocket springs.
It is a much firmer mattress and suitable for light- to average-weight side sleepers and back sleepers, as well as those who prefer a firmer feel.
Emma advertises the Emma Original Hybrid as a mattress with the construction of the Emma Hybrid but the softness of the Emma Original.
It is also a premium mattress and Emma's most advanced and innovative product.
Like the Emma Original, the Emma Original Hybrid has upper comfort layers of Airgocell foam and memory foam, and you'll get the same level of comfort.
But, it also features full-size pocket springs in a foam wall encasing and additional cold foam layers for superior point elasticity, edge-to-edge support, stability, and breathability.
The Emma Original Hybrid offers far more stability and breathability than the Emma Original 💨
We can highly recommend these best-selling mattresses.
Get the Nectar mattress, a luxurious memory foam mattress that comes with a 365-day trial period. Offer includes free gifts - pillows, mattress protector, sheet set, and a duvet!
Get 35% off the Simba Hybrid mattress, a high-quality pocket sprung memory foam mattress.
We have an affiliate relationship with some manufacturers, where we receive a commission on sales if you click over from our site. This does not affect the purchasing price. In contrast: By using our discount codes, you'll get the best deal possible.
