Known for its innovative memory foam and hybrid designs, Emma combines new materials with 21st-century manufacturing techniques to deliver premium comfort at an accessible price point.

Whether you’re upgrading your main bed or refreshing a guest room, an Emma mattress offers a brilliant balance of support, pressure relief and convenience.

What Emma mattresses do we offer?

At MattressNextDay, we’re always looking for exciting new mattresses to add to our collection, so it was only a matter of time before the Emma range joined our line-up. Here’s a quick overview of some of the most popular options:

Emma Original – A multi-award-winning mattress and long-term best-seller. Layers of pressure-relieving Halo™ memory foam are designed to keep your spine neutrally aligned and cushioned throughout the night. It suits most sleeping positions and offers excellent value for money.

Emma Premium – Featuring six layers of foam and a supportive spring core, this hybrid mattress delivers a plush, “hugged” feel without sacrificing support. The 5-zone CarbonFlex® core uses extra-tall springs for improved bounce and responsiveness, while Airgocell® foam helps air circulate to keep you cooler. A Which? Best Buy winner, it’s ideal for hot sleepers or anyone who loves a softer, more luxurious feel.

Are Emma mattresses any good?

In short, yes. Emma has built its reputation on clever engineering and high levels of comfort. Innovative materials such as Airgocell® and ComfortAdapt™ foam mean that Emma memory foam and hybrid mattresses respond to your body as you move, providing targeted support exactly where it’s needed.

When you lie down on an Emma mattress, the foam gently adapts to your shape, cushioning pressure points around your shoulders, hips and lower back. At the same time, Airgocell® helps to ventilate the mattress, so it feels fresher and cooler throughout the night – ideal if you tend to overheat.

For more information on how these foams work, take a look at our Memory Foam Mattress Guide.

Can you sleep on an Emma mattress straight away?

Emma mattresses are vacuum-packed, rolled and boxed to make delivery and installation as easy as possible, with no more wrestling a full-size mattress up narrow stairs. Once your new mattress is in place, simply unbox it, carefully cut away the packaging and let it unroll - our guide to how long a memory foam mattress takes to expand will help.

Most Emma mattresses will expand to a usable shape within a few hours, but it’s best to allow time for the foams to fully settle and activate. This ensures you get the right level of support and comfort from your very first night.

How easy are Emma mattresses to maintain?

Emma mattresses are single-sided, so there’s no need for flipping. However, we recommend rotating your mattress from head to foot every few months to keep the fillings evenly distributed and prevent dips from forming.

Because Emma uses relatively lightweight materials, turning a double or king-size Emma mattress is straightforward. Single sizes are even easier to rotate, so ongoing care is simple and fuss-free.

For broader care tips, our guide to How Often Should I Flip or Turn My Mattress? offers helpful advice.

How deep is an Emma mattress?

Most Emma mattresses are around 25–30cm deep, so you get plenty of supportive layers for your money. Whether you choose a memory foam design or an Emma hybrid mattress, you’ll enjoy a substantial, supportive sleep surface that pairs well with most modern bed frames and fitted sheets.

If you’re unsure what depth will work best with your current setup, our Mattress Depth Guide talks you through your options.

What firmness rating are Emma mattresses?

To keep things simple, Emma mattresses are generally designed to feel medium in firmness, making them suitable for most types of sleepers, whether you lie on your front, back or side. Zonal support systems help ensure your spine stays neutrally aligned, with extra support where you need it most around the lower back and hips.

If you prefer a softer feel, you can always customise your comfort level with a mattress topper, while still benefiting from the underlying support of your Emma mattress.

Which Emma mattress is best?

All Emma mattresses are manufactured to high standards, so the best one for you depends on your personal preferences and sleeping style. If you’re a hotter sleeper or struggle with night sweats, the Emma Premium Hybrid may be a better choice thanks to its breathable Airgocell® foam and spring core.

If you prefer a simpler, all-foam design, the Emma Original is a great all-rounder that suits most body types and sleeping positions. The adaptive nature of Emma’s materials means that even though the range is relatively compact compared to larger heritage brands, there’s likely to be an option that fits your needs.

Where are Emma mattresses made?

Emma is headquartered in Frankfurt, Germany, and operates in over 20 countries across four continents. However, mattresses sold in the UK are manufactured here, helping to reduce transport miles and support local production.

This combination of international innovation and UK-based manufacturing has helped Emma become one of Europe’s most recognisable mattress brands in just a few years.
