The Verdict

What 43 sleepers really think

Rated 4.7/5 from 43 verified reviews
The Emma Original mattress is praised for its comfort and support, offering a transformative sleep experience. Many users report improved sleep quality, noting that it moulds to the body and cushions pressure points effectively. It achieves a balance of firmness and softness that prevents tossing and turning. However, some reviews mention initial difficulty adjusting to its feel and a slight odour when first used, although these issues generally resolve with time.

Comfy mattress, had an odour for a few days no longer can smell, Mattress comfortable, took few nights to get used to, previous mattress was too soft, no rolling when husband turns over or moves in night, Took 24 hrs to spring into true structure after unwrapping. I haven’t woke with lower back ache for last 3 nights( which was a common occurrence) So hopefully it is the mattress supporting me while I’m asleep. I researched a number of mattresses, this appears to be best Al, rounder for comfort, support & value.

Comes rolled and packed in a cardboard box. Once the plastic wrap and the vacuum pack bag is removed the mattress unrolls and expands to its full size. It feels quite firm at first, but seems to provide very good support and after a few weeks it’s very comfortable. The only observation is that initially there is a rather strong ‘chemical’ smell, although after a couple of weeks this is diminishing.

We had intended to buy an Emma years ago, when they were around £500 and we couldn’t afford it. We ended up a cheap Ikea mattress to “tide us over” and ended up keeping it for nine years. But this is far better, really the right mix of comfortable and firm, and with a sale price tag, too. Very pleased all round.

Can't believe how comfy this mattress is. Never had a roll up mattress before. So easy. It is supportive and yet moulds to your body. Inflated within a few hours. Highly recommend it.

Good To Know

Frequently asked questions

Is the Original mattress a good choice for those who have allergies?
Certainly, the Emma Original mattress is a great option for allergy sufferers thanks to its specially selected fillings and fabric that minimise allergens.
How does the memory foam in this mattress feel?
The memory foam provides body moulding and pressure relief, ensuring it conforms to your shape for ultimate comfort while always recovering to its original state.
How does the pocket sprung design benefit the user?
The pocket sprung construction consists of individual springs that are each wrapped in fabric, which enables them to work independently. This design offers a body-conforming experience, reducing the likelihood of roll together and promoting a peaceful night's sleep.
Can I clean the cover of this mattress?
Yes, the Original mattress has a removable cover that can be unzipped for cleaning or replacement, making it easier to maintain.
Is it necessary to rotate this mattress from time to time?
The Emma Original mattress is designed as a single-sided option, meaning you won't need to turn it over. However, it is advisable to rotate it periodically to promote uniform wear.
How does the micro quilted finish affect comfort?
The micro quilted finish creates a comfort layer by stitching the fabric and fillings together. This method enhances the overall comfort of the mattress, providing a softer surface for a better night's sleep.
Why is the Domestic Flammability Rating important?
The Domestic Flammability Rated Source 2 shows that this mattress adheres to safety regulations for low hazard levels, meaning it is appropriate for everyday home use.
How should I handle the mattress after unpacking?
After unpacking, the mattress should be allowed to expand fully, which can take between 4 to 24 hours, and you can use the handles attached to the border for easier rotation.
Is this mattress delivered in a specific way?
Yes, the Original mattress is delivered rolled up, making it easier to manoeuvre into your desired location before it expands.
What comfort features does this mattress offer?
The combination of memory foam and pocket springs in the Original mattress offers excellent comfort and support, adapting to your body's shape while providing pressure relief.
