The only slight issue initially is that new mattress smell. It’s entirely dependent on the mattress but the king size for this review did have a slightly chemically scent for almost four days. It evaporated after that time though and wasn’t particularly unpleasant even on the first day.

This is an exceptionally comfortable mattress that makes sleep, quite literally, a dream. The medium to firm nature of the Emma Premium means it won't suit those looking for a softer sleep but for everyone else, there's a perfect balance of memory foam and springs here. It's a little warm on very hot nights but that shouldn't bother most UK sleepers. Memory foam's detractors often cite that sinking feeling but the support here is exceptional, whether you’re lying in the middle of the bed or much closer to the edge. There’s a firm bounce here that feels like you are sleeping on something solid but supportive to your body, regardless of your positioning on the bed. Whether you’re star fishing or sleeping next to someone, the Emma Premium constantly made me get actively excited about going to bed. Zoning - with carefully designed cut outs, this layer provides you with greater support in the areas you need it most.The Emma Original is the cheapest of the brand's lineup, and the only all-foam option. The cheapest hybrid is the NextGen Premium (read our Emma NextGen Premium mattress review). This has the same firmness as the Original, and adds a layer of tall springs. HRX Supreme Foam - this section at the bottom is created from denser foam and ensures the firmness of the mattress lasts. On my Emma Original review model, I tested the standard cover. This is made from soft-touch fabric, and is hypoallergenic and breathable. It can be zipped off and cleaned in the washing machine.

You share a bed:Bed-sharers should look for a mattress with high levels of motion isolation, and here the Emma Original excels. You won't feel the moments of a restless partner on this mattress. Don't buy it if...Incredible mattress. It truly is the most comfortable mattress ever. Delivery was fast, even to the Highlands. Firmness Rating of Emma Mattresses

The Emma Original is a 25cm tall, all-foam mattress with two different cover options. Let's take a look at what's going on inside. The uppermost foam layer is referred to as 'Point Elastic Airgocell' foam, and its main purpose is to help with temperature regulation. Beneath that you'll find a tier of memory foam, which molds to the sleeper's body shape and hugs the joints.That’s difficult to answer, as they all reach exceptionally high standards of manufacturing quality, support and, most importantly, comfort. If you suffer from night sweats or are a ‘hot’ sleeper, you may find the Premium best, thanks to its extra layer of Airgocell® foam. The adaptive nature of Emma mattresses means that while the range may be small compared to larger brands, there’s bound to be one that will suit you. The best alternative to the Emma Premium mattress is the Simba Hybrid Mattress. If you're an Emma mattress fan, we'd encourage you to choose the Emma Original but if you like hybrid mattresses, the Emma Premium and Simba Hybrid are extremely close, in terms of filling, depth and other makeup. Breaking it down, the top layer of the Emma Premium is a layer of Airgocell memory foam to absorb moisture, the next one down is pressure relieving viscoelastic foam, then there’s more Airgocell apparently for additional support for shoulders and hips, then the layer of extra-tall 12.5cm springs, and finally, a layer of High Resiliency Extra foam or ‘HRX’ that’s also the bottom layer of the Emma Original. The Emma Original Mattress is the standard and first mattress released by Emma Sleep. Again a medium firm mattress, this is a perfect choice for overall value as still rated one of the best mattresses in the UK by experts at Which?, Good housekeeping and many more. We love the Emma mattress, it's extremely comfortable and best of all you don't wake up if your partner moves around or gets up.
