Emma Mattress

Emma Mattress Review

The Emma Mattress is a firmer feel mattress that contains a unique foam construction. It offers very good value and is becoming a popular option in the mattress in a box market.

The Emma Mattress holds a number of awards in Europe, and landed on the Australian market in 2020. It is worth noting that its construction is slightly different to the UK model. This review (including our video review below) is specific to the Emma (Original) Mattress which is available in Australia.

This review is based on testing of the new and current model that was released in January 2021.

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 (see delivery times below). Delivery is free, and our box arrived in pristine condition, thanks to additional wrapping around the box.

The Emma Mattress was one the easiest mattress in a box products to remove from its packaging, and we allowed it 24 hours to decompress before we carried out our assessment. You can see this mattress in ‘real life’ in our video review here:

Aesthetically, the Emma Mattress has a modern, stylish look. It uses a grey and white colour theme with a dark blue coloured brand label. It also comes with a neat product booklet that includes useful information about the mattress.

Comfort and support

The Emma Mattress has a well ventilated cover that contains a soft, polyester fabric. This cover sits over a special eco-friendly foam that is breathable and prevents overheating. This foam layer also has a nice level of comfort and responsiveness. It absorbs body weight smoothly and feels well balanced.

Emma Mattress

Based on our testing, our team rated it as a ‘nice, firm feel’ and an 7.5 / 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.

The main body of this mattress is Emma’s sophisticated 7 zone, ‘pressure relieving foam’. This offers excellent support and should accommodate people of most sizes. The Emma Mattress also contains a layer of ‘point elastic foam’ at the base of the mattress. This seems to add an extra level of stability, and partner disturbance is minimal.

The finer details

At 29 kgs (Queen size) the Emma Mattress is noticeably light. This makes it easy to carry and also easy to change the bed sheets, which can be quite difficult with heavier mattresses. As a comparison, other ‘full-foam’ mattresses like the Koala Mattress (34 kgs) and the Ergoflex Mattress (39 kgs) are significantly heavier. The Eva Mattress (which uses pocket springs) weighs 55 kgs.

The relative light weight of the Emma Mattress doesn’t compromise spinal support or general stability. This is one of the most impressive features of this mattress, as Emma seems to have created the ultimate light-weight, supportive mattress. Edge support is decent, and the mattress comes with practical side handles.

The Emma Mattress has a handy removable (and washable cover). 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 and is a big selling point for this mattress.

The Emma Mattress has a solid 100 night trial period and a 10 year warranty. It is also worth mentioning that all foam layers in this mattress are certified as non-toxic by OEKO-TEX®, one of the worlds leading authorities in foam testing.

Please note that we do not recommend the Emma Mattress to be used with an adjustable (electric) bed base.

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 2020.

Final verdict

The Emma Mattress is a nice mattress that offers great value. It provides good back support, and its light weight makes it easy to carry. In a short period of time, this mattress has become very popular in Australia.

    I am super impressed with my Emma mattress. It did take a couple of nights to get used to as it is much firmer than my old soft, squishy mattress ! But then…..just great ! I am getting the best night’s sleep. Delivery was super fast too. I ordered at 9.30pm, and the mattress arrived at 6pm the next day ! Very happy with my Emma !

      Hi Nenad,

      The Emma Mattress weighs 28.67kgs (Queen Mattress). Care instructions are below (taken from Emma’s FAQ):

      Flipping your Emma Original Mattress is not necessary and the white top-cover and breathable eco-friendly foam layer should always remain on top. The three-layer build-up form serves as an especially long lived function of support, so the usual flipping of the mattress isn’t necessary. The special breathability and open-cell character of the core materials provide a self-contained ventilation system, keeping the mattress aerated.

      You can easily wash your Emma cover. You just open the zip and separate the top from the bottom part. Treat your Emma like your favorite shirt, by washing both, the top and bottom part, at 60°C in the washing machine. Because of the special fibre used in the cover with the high dampness releasing function it will only be a little clammy coming out of the machine. You can also wash single stains off by hand with a gentle washing detergent.

      Hope that helps but let us know if you have any further queries!

    Is it necessary to use a mattress protector as it seems to already have one. Would this hinder the cooling properties of the mattress?

    Reply
    • Bedbuyer says

      August 14, 2020 at 6:04 pm

      Hi Julie,

      We would still recommend to use a mattress protector on the Emma Mattress.

      It is difficult to say whether or not it would affect the cooling properties (as sleep temperature is determined by a number of factors).

      A nice ‘cooling’ mattress topper is the COOLMAX protector – our review is linked here.

      Hope that helps but please don’t hesitate if you have any further queries.

      Hi Tracey,

      The Emma mattress does not contain any latex – only a combination of foams. Please see below :

      The Emma Original Mattress consists of three different layers:
      – Eco-friendly foam: breathable as it wicks away moisture and stops you from overheating. It’s also wonderfully bouncy, for sweet slumbers every night.
      – Pressure-relieving, zoning foam: ensures optimum pressure relief and moulds to the shape of your body
      – Supportive point-elastic foam: provides durability and support

      Hope that helps, but let us know if you have any further queries.

      Hi Heidi,

      Mattress in a box products (including the Emma Mattress) are compressed by heavy machinery so you wan’t be able to get the mattress back in the box. We discuss this further in our ‘5 Myths about Mattress in a Box’ – linked here.

      If you do happen to return the mattress, it will be collected as a full standing piece (fully expanded).

      Hope that helps but let us know if you have any further queries!

    Hi,
    We are considering two options for our next mattress. The Emma and the Onebed. Could you please tell me which of these two is more firm?
    Also Are they very similar and which one would you recommend?
    Thank you for your help.

      Hi Limor,

      The Emma Mattress is a bit firmer than the Onebed Mattress. Both are nice mattresses so it depends on what firmness level you prefer.

      Keep in mind that we have tested over 120 mattress in a box products (including the Onebed and Emma) so there are many more (possibly better) options to choose from.
      Hope that helps but please let us know if you need any further assistance.

        I ended up ordering the Emma one this morning. We were looking for the one that is more firm out of the two, so I am happy to read your reply, that I made the right choice for us. If it’s not going to be firm enough for us we will return it and keep looking.

        I know there are other options out there but I preferred the Emma one for being light.

        Fingers crossed we will like it! 😊

    We have returned our Emma mattress and are now looking to replace it. We loved the concept of a bed in the box. As side sleepers though my husband and I both found our hips going numb through the night. He is 75kg I am 68kg.
    If too soft, my husband feels suffocated, however we do need something a little softer.

    We are deciding between the Sleep Republic, Eva do you have any suggestions that could help us in considering the decision?

    Thank you for your help
    Kind regards

      Hi Michelle,

      Sorry to hear that the Emma Mattress didn’t work out for you but as you know you have the 100 night trial period.

      The Sleep Republic Mattress would be a sensible next option for you. It is comfortable, still very supportive, and a bit softer than the Emma Mattress.

      Hope that helps but please let us know if you have any further queries!

        Comfortable and great night sleep. Has a softness but also firm. For us a great combination.

    As a lightweight of 44 kg would the Emma’s firmness rating be a little hard?

      Hi Eve,

      The Emma Mattress is very versatile and can go fine on a slat base, bed frame, or ensemble base. You can find further information on this in Emma’s FAQ section.

      It’s difficult to say whether the Emma Mattress will be too firm for you. It is firm but still has nice pressure relief for most people. If you normally prefer a firmer mattress, it should be fine.

      If you wanted a similar style of mattress for around the same price (that is a little softer), the Naptime Mattress is a nice one too – our full review is linked here.

      Hope that gives you some direction but let us know if you would like to chat further.

    Hi,

    Thanks for this. How do we choose between this and the Sleeping Duck? Is the latter really worth the price in terms of value add or benefits?

    Also I hear Sleeping Duck is releasing a 2021 version (is this their 2nd iteration since 2014?) next week with prices increasing by $200 – have you heard about this and/or will be reviewing this?

    Thanks!

      Hi Danny,

      The Emma Mattress and the Sleeping Duck Mattress are quite different in their construction. The Emma Mattress uses a selection of different foams, whereas the Sleeping Duck Mattress uses a pocket spring system with layers of foam on top.

      We would recommend having a look at our full review of the Emma Mattress and our full review of the Sleeping Duck Mattress to gain a better understanding of each product.

      It is our understanding that Sleeping Duck are releasing a new version of their mattress this week, and we will hopefully be testing this new model out very soon. As soon as we review this new model, we will update our review.

      Hope that helps but please let us know if you have any further queries.

        Hi and thank you for your reply,

        We’ve actually read both those reviews and understand those differences you noted but still stuck – what we can’t work out is (especially given we have not physically been able to lie on one) is what or how does a spring versus a fully-foam mattress differ in terms of comfort? Obviously it is subjective but given we don’t have the opportunity to physically lie on one and can only buy online, is there any other advice or suggestions you can give between discerning and therefore choosing between the two?

        And any other suggestions or factors between how we would ‘know’ which would suit us or not?

        We are happy to pay whatever price and budget is not an issue but we are also of the perspective that there’s no point paying double something that offers the same comfort if that makes sense?

        Look forward to your reply. Thank you so much!

          Hi Danny,

          We found the current model of the Sleeping Duck Mattress to be a better overall product, and allows you the option to fully ‘customise’ your firmness levels. As it is a spring mattress, it is likely better ventilated, more durable, and more ‘responsive’ to normal sleep movements (easier to move around in).

          The Emma Mattress is a nice mattress and great value for what it is, but if you’re unsure, the Sleeping Duck Mattress would be a more sensible option for the reasons above. The only thing you then have to decide is what firmness to order first (firm or medium). It’s worth noting that we found the firm version of the Sleeping Duck Mattress a little softer than the Emma Mattress.

          For your reference, you can get free shipping on the Sleeping Duck Mattress by clicking here.

          Hope that clarifies things and would love to know what you decide on.

            Hi and thank you for your prompt reply, those details have really helped! I think we will go with the Sleeping Duck Firm in that case (as we want a really firm bed) – hopefully they have foam inserts which we can buy that can provide additional firmness (especially since you mentioned the Firm was less so than the Emma)?

            November 23, 2020 at 10:22 am

            Hi Danny,

            Our pleasure. Yes, try the Sleeping Duck Mattress (firm) and you have the option to request ‘extra firm’ foam (after 21 nights, before 100 nights) if you so desire.

            Let us know how you go!

      Hi Donna,

      The Emma Mattress has reasonable edge support for a foam mattress.

      If you’re after a mattress in a box with better edge support, the Sleep Republic Mattress or the Noa Luxe Mattress have very well built mattress edges.

      Hope that helps but would love to hear how you go!
