Why choose an Emma® double mattress?
An Emma® double mattress is the perfect option if you want trusted bed-in-a-box comfort in a size that works for lots of UK bedrooms. It gives one sleeper more room than a single and gives couples a practical shared size without needing the floor space of a king.
The main thing to decide is how you want the mattress to feel. Some Emma® models offer closer foam cushioning, while others combine foam comfort layers with pocket springs for a more responsive surface. If you share the bed, it is also worth comparing how steady the mattress feels, how well the edges hold up and whether it helps reduce movement travelling across the bed.
How to choose the right Emma® double mattress
Start with how the mattress will be used. A couple sharing every night may want stronger edge support, good movement control and enough comfort for both sleepers, while a solo sleeper may focus more on feel, firmness and value.
Then compare:
Mattress type: Choose an Emma® Original Classic mattress for cushioned comfort, or an Emma® Hybrid-style mattress, like the Emma® Original, Emma® Original Lite, Emma® Original Pro and Emma® Original Elite, if you want added bounce, airflow and spring support.
Partner movement: If you share a double bed, look for features designed to reduce movement travelling across the mattress when one person turns over or gets up.
Cooling: Compare breathable foams, spring layers and cooling technologies if one or both sleepers tend to feel warm.
Support: Look for zoned support if you want the mattress to feel more tailored around the shoulders, hips and lower back.
Setup: Emma® mattresses arrive boxed and rolled, so allow time for the mattress to expand and air before use.

Buying guidance for Emma® double mattresses
What size is an Emma® double mattress?
An Emma® double mattress measures 135cm x 190cm, which is the standard UK double size. It is also known as a 4ft6 mattress.
This size is a popular choice for couples, guest rooms and solo sleepers who want more room than a single. Before ordering, measure the inside of your bed frame to make sure it is a standard UK double.
What Emma® features matter most for couples?
If you share a double bed, small differences in mattress design can make a big difference to how the bed feels. Look for movement control if one person turns over often, edge support if you both use the full width and cooling features if the bed tends to feel warm with two sleepers.
Emma® mattresses can include breathable comfort layers, zoned support and cooling technologies depending on the model. Zoned support can help the mattress feel more tailored around areas such as the shoulders, hips and lower back, while still keeping the surface comfortable.
Setting up your Emma® bed-in-a-box mattress
Emma® mattresses arrive compressed and rolled, which makes them easier to move through hallways, upstairs and into the bedroom.
Place the box in the room before opening it. Carefully remove the packaging, unroll the mattress on the bed base and give it time to expand. It may start taking shape quickly, but it can take longer to fully settle.
A slight ‘new mattress’ smell can happen after unpacking. This is common with boxed mattresses and should usually fade with ventilation, so open a window and let the room air before making the bed.
