Purchase and delivery
As with other mattress in a box options, the Emma Mattress can be conveniently ordered online (through the Emma website) and it will arrive at your door in a box.
Delivery is free (Australia wide) and shipping times are generally fast. Same day delivery is available in some locations, but please see the delivery times in our Delivery information section further down.
Our box arrived in good condition and the mattress was relatively easy to remove from its packaging. As usual though, we recommend having two people available to unpack a mattress in a box.
Unpacking the Emma Mattress should only take 5-10 minutes, and we allowed it to decompress for 48 hours before testing.
After the 48 hours of decompression time, we found that some of the edges were still a little uneven.
The mattress comes with a handy cutting tool, as well as a neat product booklet that includes useful information about the product.
Aesthetically, the Emma Mattress has a simple yet modern look. It uses a grey and white colour theme with an orange brand label on the side.
Mattress construction
The Emma Mattress is an innerspring mattress that has a number of components.
1. UltraDry™ Breathable Cover
The UltraDry™ Breathable Cover is an award-winning elastic cover that’s both breathable and soft to the touch– keeping your body comfy and dry.
2. Aerofoam Layer
The Aerofoam layer absorbs and swishes out excess body heat–creating an ideal sleep environment for undisturbed sleep.
3. MemoryAdapt Foam Layer
The MemoryAdapt foam helps you to easily find and stay in your favorite sleep position. It moulds to fit your body’s unique curves by offering a better pressure distribution. The foam creates pathways for air to flow in-n-out while retaining the classic comfort of memory foam.
4. Comfort HRX Foam Layer
This ergonomically designed Comfort HRX foam layer adapts to your body and perfectly distributes body pressure, allowing you to sleep comfortably regardless of your build or sleeping position.
5. Pocket springs
Say goodbye to sticky nights! Our pocket springs maximize airflow between you and your mattress, cooling your body to an airy sleep. Snooze comfy as our pocket springs support proper alignment of your spine for a more restful sleep.
6. Anti-slip Bottom Layer
Our anti-slip bottom layer of the cover offers enhanced stability for a decade full of quality sleep.
Comfort and support
The Emma UltraDry™ Breathable Cover feels soft, well ventilated, and may help to absorb moisture during sleep.
The top comfort layer offers plenty of comfort and absorbs body weight smoothly. With that said, there is still a hardness to this mattress and a sense that the product is unsophisticated.
Our reviewers also noted a wobbly, ‘jelly’ sensation that you would expect from lower quality, cheaper mattresses.
The Emma Mattress should all sleeping positions (side sleepers, back sleepers, and stomach sleepers). Understandably though, this suitability will vary between individuals.
All of our reviewers agreed that this mattress has a medium feel. By majority vote, we settled on a 5 / 10 on the firmness scale (with 10 being the firmest).
Please note that our firmness ratings are just a guide and they do not necessarily relate to comfort.
Furthermore, our firmness ratings are assigned based on Bedbuyer’s testing process and these may differ from firmness ratings given by individual companies. Mattress firmness will also vary depending on the type of bed base used.
We tested the Emma Mattress on the Chiropedic Bed Base which is a good quality bed base with rigid slats.
The Emma Mattress can be used with the Emma Flip Topper (sold separately). This topper has a firm and soft side, so you can choose the firmness level that suits you best.
The Emma Mattress offers reasonable back support and should accommodate people of most sizes.
With that said, for those who are on the larger side though (over 100kgs), we would recommend a more robust innerspring mattress such as the Yinahla Copper Gel.
The Emma Mattress responds well to normal sleep movements and we rated its level of responsiveness in the optimal zone. In basic terms, this means that changing sleep positions (and intimate activities) shouldn’t be a problem.
Please note that our responsiveness scales are just a guide and preferred responsiveness levels will vary between individuals. It’s worth noting also that innerspring mattresses are generally more responsive than foam mattresses.
The finer details
The general build quality of the Emma Mattress is average but reasonable for its price. As we touched on earlier, there were some shape irregularities after the decompression process, and the outer cover was loose fitting.
At just 35 kgs (queen size) the Emma Mattress is noticeably light. This makes it easy to lift, carry, and rotate. Its light weight also makes it easy to change the bed sheets, which can be difficult with heavier mattresses.
As a comparison, other (similarly priced) innerspring mattresses are heavier. The Eva Comfort Classic Mattress weighs 55 kgs (queen size).
Edge support is a little soft and flimsy, but considering this is a fairly soft mattress, this isn’t surprising. Heavy users may need to exercise caution when sleeping close to the mattress edge.
The Emma Mattress comes with practical side handles, making it easy to carry. Although the handles aren’t attached as strongly as some other mattresses, they are easy to use.
At just 35 kgs (queen size) the Emma Mattress is noticeably light.
The Emma UltraDry™ Breathable Cover is removable and washable. It is easy to remove, and the top cover can be machine washed every 4 weeks (at 60°C). As you can imagine, this allows you to keep your mattress clean and hygienic.
What bed base should I use?
As with most mattresses, we recommend the Emma Mattress to be used on a bed base with flat panel slats such as the Koala Paddington Bed Base.
A bed base with solid slats (with slats no longer than 8 cm apart) such as the Chiropedic Bed Base, would also be very suitable.
We would advise against using a bed base with flexible (posture) slats as this type of base may not provide adequate support. Ultimately, the use of an unsupportive mattress foundation may void the mattress warranty.
The Emma Mattress can used with an adjustable (electric) bed base. Here is our full list of mattresses that are compatible with an adjustable bed base.
It’s worth noting here that mattress firmness, performance, and durability will vary with different bed bases.
Trial period and warranty
The Emma Mattress comes with a 150 night trial period, which is a superior to a typical trial period in the online mattress market. A trial period means that you can return the mattress for a refund if you are not satisfied (conditions do apply).
This mattress also comes with a 10 year warranty to cover any faulty materials or workmanship. This is also a typical warranty period of similarly priced online mattresses.
Available sizes
This mattress is available in 5 sizes (king, queen, double, king single, and single size) so it should accommodate most sleeping situations.
Here are Australia’s standard bed (mattress) sizes in 2024.
Final verdict
The Emma Mattress is a serviceable mattress that should offer adequate levels of comfort and support for most people.

Emma Mattress
Comfort just got an upgrade – better airflow & comfort thanks to our edge-to-edge pocket springs!
- Improved breathability for sweat-free sleep
- Better motion isolation means undisturbed rest
- Our most sustainable mattress with 54% less carbon emission
Better breathability to suit the Australian climate
The Comfort II was designed with you and our climate in mind. We improved our Infinity pocket springs, increasing their size for maximum airflow. This helps your body reach its ideal sleep temperature. Paired with our highly breathable foams, you can enjoy humid-free sleep from summer through winter.
Full body support and cradling
Our 7-zoned mattress has top-level Halo Memory Foam™ that immediately adapts to your body’s shape, offering firm support to your back, while cradling your shoulders and hips with a softer feel. With Comfort II, you can sleep the way you love all night and wake-up feeling energised.
Improved motion isolation for undisturbed sleep
The Comfort II features three layers of foam that work with pocket springs to give you better pressure distribution and motion isolation while you sleep. This means that movement on one side of the bed is confined and you don’t feel it on the other side, making the Comfort II a great choice for couples.
Our most sustainable mattress
With 54% less carbon emissions, the Emma Comfort II is created for the love of better sleep and our planet. The Comfort II’s core layer of pocket springs were consciously designed with recycled steel and uses 79% less foam than our Original mattresses, making it our most sustainable mattress without compromising on your sleep quality.
