The emma dilemma

We all know the importance of a good night’s sleep, and finding a mattress that works for you is imperative. Metropol’s Ian Knott tries out one option.

Only available online, the Emma Comfort Mattress has been engineered in Germany using the highest quality foam. As a medium-firm mattress, it’s an ideal choice for those who can’t decide between a soft or firm feel.

There are two internal layers; the first is 5cm of ‘Airgocell’ contouring foam – an open pore foam that allows 50 percent more air to circulate than your normal memory-foam. The base layer is 20cm of HRX high-density foam, also open pore and with support zones so that support is applied where your body needs it most.

The ability for air to flow through the foam allows for a cooler sleep during those hot summer nights.
Available in single to super king, the mattress includes ‘Zero Motion’ technology that prevents even the most restless of sleepers from disturbing their partner.

THE VERDICT
I slept pretty soundly on the mattress, and it reminded me of the firmness of beds in good hotels, but my wife couldn’t get a good sleep on it at all. It’s in cases like ours that thankfully the mattress comes with a 120-night, money-back guarantee, with all returns being donated to charity. That sounds like a win-win to me.
