The Emma Original is a foam mattress made up of three different foam layers: Airgocell foam, Visco foam, and cold foam. This combination ensures deep pressure relief, body contouring, and good sinkage, all while providing stability and spine support.

The individual foam layers of the Emma mattress can be seen very clearly in the above close-up. The foam layers in this combination not only ensure good body adaptability and pressure relief, but also stability and good support. With an average density of 57 kg/m³, the Emma mattress will last a long time and you will be able to enjoy your mattress for many years to come.

Each foam layer of the Emma Original is tested for harmful substances and complies with the OEKO-Tex® Standard 100 certificate. This makes the mattress safe for babies, children, and loved ones.

The cover of the Emma Original consists of a robust grey side and a white, fine-meshed top. Both are predominantly made of polyester (top cover: 98% polyester, 2% spandex | side cover: 100% polyester).

We really like the top cover of the Emma mattress. It’s extremely soft and could very easily be used without bed linen. In addition, it has open-pore knitting, which improves breathability. The top cover can also be removed and washed at 60 degrees, which is great for allergy-sufferers.

The Emma mattress has four side carrying handles. This makes transporting the mattress easier. That said, you should be careful not to pull the handles too roughly. We had to carry our mattress up a steep staircase and one of the handles tore slightly.

Firmness

Overall, we had a very good experience with the Emma mattress. It’s a soft mattress but offers a medium strength. We'd rate it at 4/10 on our firmness scale.

Our team members describe the feeling of lying on the Emma mattress as “pleasantly soft”. The two upper comfort layers of Airgocell and memory foam are responsible for this soft comfort. Both foams are highly adaptable and relieve pressure.

The Emma mattress is particularly comfortable when sleeping on your side due to its pressure relief and body contouring capabilities. The additional support zones also keep the spine in a healthy position and reduce back pain.

Sleeping climate

This mattress also offers a comfortable sleeping climate. The Airgocell layers and the fine-meshed top cover noticeably reduce heat storage. This is also necessary as Visco foam is generally warmer. We did not sweat during our test sleep - despite testing in 25-degree summer weather.

Our thermal image showed that the Emma mattress only stored heat in the places where our test sleeper lay. The rest of the mattress remained at a comfortable temperature. If the sleeping position is changed, those warmer places cooled down again due to the good breathability of the mattress.

Motion transfer

The Emma Original also has fairly low motion transfer and high point elasticity, which is great for couples. This is due to the foam layers that absorb and dampen movements.

The tests we carried out show how good the motion transfer of the Emma Original is. Due to a sophisticated design and high-quality foam layers, the mattress is able to absorb the movements in such a way that others would not feel it. This ensures that you won't wake up unnecessarily if your partner moves.

Sinkage was good for all our test sleepers.

• Our lightest test sleeper sunk in perfectly, no matter the sleeping position. In no position did the mattress sink in too deeply or too little. For a light-weight person, the Emma mattress is perfect.
• Our medium-weight test sleeper also had good results. But sinkage was much deeper than with comparable mattresses. This proves, again, that the Emma mattress is a softer model.
• Only our heavier test sleeper sunk deeply into the mattress. In the lateral position, sinkage was at 7.5 cm in the shoulder area. But the sleeper was still well-supported in the abdominal and hip areas, which provides healthy spine alignment. Nonetheless, the Emma mattress may still be too soft for him. Heavier people, therefore, are advised to decide for themselves whether or not the Emma mattress would be too soft for them.

All you need to do is contact Emma’s customer service, and they will organise and pay for the return shipment.

The Emma Original is a high-quality mattress. It offers three different foam layers at a high density. We really like the combination of foams and cover.

Based on our experience, we would recommend the Emma mattress to light-weight and medium-weight people. People who sleep on their side will also enjoy the Emma mattress. In addition, the Emma mattress is also great for couples as the foam layers largely absorb movements. Is one of the best mattresses out there when it comes to motion transfer.

For heavier-weight people and those who sleep on their stomach or back, the Emma might be a little too soft in the hip and pelvic areas. People who prefer a slightly firmer sleeping surface should make use of the risk-free trial period to see if the mattress is right for them. Sometimes people simply prefer sleeping on a firmer surface - but the long trial period is ample time to test the mattress at home and then make a final decision.
