Construction of the Emma Mattress
Below are the construction details as listed on their website. This mattress is made in the USA.
Climate regulating top cover
The breathable Emma cover combines a premium design with climate regulating fibers which allow the mattress to breath and not retain heat like other mattresses do. At the same time, the cover flexible allowing the mattress to adapt perfectly to your body.
Breathable Air Comfort Cover
The grey side cover with 3D-mesh supports air circulation, gives the mattress a stylish look and grips the underside thanks to the practical non-slip elements. Now with handles.
Adaptive Airgocell® foam
The breathable and adaptable Airgocell®foam ensures optimized adaptability. In addition to this, Airgocell®foam has an open pore structure for ideal air circulation adding to the Emma Mattress’ climate regulating design.
Pressure Relieving Visco-Elastic Memory Foam
A layer of adaptive memory-foam ensures an improved distribution of support, pressure relief and spine support and alignment
Supportive Base Foam with Adaptive Cut-out Technology
The firm bottom layer provides the necessary counter pressure whatever your sleeping position. Here we have added our innovative German Cut-out Technology which helps to align your spine giving you a healthier night’s sleep. This technology gives you support in your lower back and shoulder areas while also helping the Emma Mattress to adapt to you.
My Emma Mattress Findings
As you can see in the picture below the Emma mattress sinks quite a bit. It is even more pronounced as you add more weight. This makes it an ideal mattress for people that like to sink in the mattress and get maximum pressure relief.
The video below illustrates motion transfer. Since it’s an all foam mattress, motion is contained. What I found interesting is that the top layer is very resilient and recovers almost instantly. This gives the mattress just a little bit of bounce.
The cover is made for optimal airflow. It is a zippered cover so is removable as well. There is venting along the side so air can dissipate from the top and sides. The cover also grips the mattress better than other covers I have tried. This gives it a solid feel. It also has handles form making it easier to rotate and transport the mattress.
Here’s how each layer of the mattress looks.
Here you can see more of the inside of the mattress and where the holes in the base layer are placed to provide better contouring for your shoulders.
This video shows how each layer reacts. The top layer sinks and recovers quickly while the transition layer provides the support and pressure relief.
The cover has handles stitched into the sides to make rotating and transporting easier.
My Emma Mattress Recommendation
I really enjoyed the feel of this mattress. You get a somewhat soft mattress without all the drawbacks. You get to sink into the Emma but it doesn’t sleep nearly as hot as other soft mattresses. I think that’s in large part to the open cell foam layer at the top and the design of the cover. I recommend this mattress for side and back and occasional stomach sleepers that want a soft mattress where you sink into it just a bit.
I found it very easy to change positions on this mattress and when you do, the mattress recovers quickly so you aren’t left with impressions. This mattress comes with a 100 night trial and a 10 year guarantee. If you aren’t happy with it during the 100 nights, returns are free as well.
