Finally getting a good night's sleep!

We were overdue for a new mattress and were impressed with the reviews on this one. Arrived much more quickly than promised, surprisingly given current issues, and is firm yet comfortable. Extremely happy so far!

Purchased in April 2021.

Easy mattress shopping!

published

I was expecting a softer mattress but I am not disappointed. A comfortable mattress whatever the position. I was particularly pleased with the great customer service and ease of purchase. Delivery was prompt and hassle free.
I would recommend this mattress if you are trying to make a final decision between similar ‘boxed’ mattresses.

Service was Great, Mattress not so much

published

Purchasing experience was great, from order confirmation, throughout the delivery process and fab courier.

However, the mattress itself is far firmer tham expected and does not conform to my body shape.

The Emma mattress is very comfortable and supportive. I have enjoyed it a lot. I love that it comes with a very high quality mattress protector that is also comfortable

Amazingly comfortable. Highly recommend

Firm mattress but very comfortable. Edges of the mattress are sturdy, and won't collapse like other mattresses that come boxed up. I wish I purchased my mattress much sooner. Guaranteed night after night fantastic sleep.

Very comfortable!

It's a very comfortable mattress. It could be a little firmer, but that's just personal preference. I've had back issues, which the mattress hasn't helped like I thought it would, but it's definitely helping a little. It seems like a very durable mattress.

Good for the price you pay

published

The mattress is very supportive and takes adjusting to if you have not slept on a firmer mattress. It is great for anyone with spinal injuries or back pain. That is why I had purchased it. I have enjoyed my sleep. I find as it becomes colder during the night, you can feel the cold from underneath the mattress which makes you cold. It does warm up fairly quickly when you get into bed if you don't use an electric blanket. The mattress has retained its shape and firmness. We have had it for 3 months now.

Purchased in January 2021 for $699.00.

Amazing Matress

published

After looking around at other memory foam mattresses we decided to purchase an Emma, this turned out to be one of the best decisions we've ever made as it has helped with back pain. We can also move around and do not disturb each other.
Being able to remove the cover to wash it is a great option.

Purchased in January 2021 at Emma & Roe Online store for $625.00.

When I first received the mattress I thought it was a little to firm but after a few nights, I guess the foam has adjusted and it’s been very comfortable ever since!

Its good but expected more

published

It is very durable product I believe. The main reason I chose Emma mattress is as it is not spring based.
But some how we are getting back ache (may be too solid). Other person using the second mattress do not have any concerns anyway.

I am happy that i have chosen Emma. I have got great price for this amazing mattress.

published

I was lucky because I bought Emma Single Mattress when it was on 35% discount. at the beginning i was wondering between Emma and Koala’s and I am happy that i finally chose Emma. Great price comes with excellent quality. I have a problem with my lower back pain however for the last 3 months i’ve been using this, i noticed my pain is significantly reduced. There is only tiny problem with this mattress is that you need to wait at least 24hrs after unpacking to get it completely shaped n reach to the right firmness. At last, I love my Emma mattress.

Since purchasing my Emma mattress My sleep quality has changed to the positive. I used to wake up often during the night which is not the case anymore.
Can’t speak highly enough about this mattress.

Hello Jen! We're so happy you're considering the Emma Original Mattress as your new mattress. For now, however, we don't have an in-house old mattress disposal service, but we can help you dispose your mattress by referring you to your local council for recycling or to a charity, if possible.

Jen M

Ok, thanks for your candid response. It is not possible for me to physically dispose of the old mattress on my own so that’s that.

Emma Sleep

Of course no worries, Jen! However, there might be charges for recycling done by these 3rd parties since they are already a different company from us. But rest assured, we'll help you with disposing your mattress.
