Emma Original Mattress

After sleeping on the Emma Original for 90 nights, we can confidently say this is one of the best memory foam mattresses available under £700. Exceptional pressure relief, minimal motion transfer.

What we loved

  • Exceptional pressure relief for side and back sleepers
  • Virtually zero motion transfer — ideal for couples
  • Ships in a box, easy to set up alone
  • 200-night trial with free returns
  • Consistently cool sleeping surface

Worth knowing

  • Firmer than expected out of the box — takes 2–3 weeks to break in
  • Not ideal for heavy stomach sleepers who need more support
  • Cover not removable for washing

Our Verdict

"The Emma Original remains one of the most reliable all-round mattresses at its price point. It's not perfect for every sleeper, but for the majority — especially side sleepers and couples — it's an outstanding buy."
