Emma Premium Mattress review: we tried and tested the hybrid hero
When I found out I was doing an Emma Premium mattress review, I immediately wondered whether the award-winning brand would live up to the hype.
The Premium mattress comes with some promising accolades — it was voted Product of the Year in the Hybrid Mattress category in the Consumer Survey of Product Innovation this year, and has a score of 4.8 out of 5 on Trustpilot, with customers praising its quality and comfort.
Like the Emma Original mattress, the Premium version is made of memory foam, but unlike its predecessor, it’s combined with pocket springs for extra support.
So, if you’re looking for a mattress that moulds to your body for ultimate comfort but still gives that extra support for non-achy muscles the next morning, then, Goldilocks, we may have found your “just right”.

Emma Premium mattress review: quick summary
I’m fully converted to hybrid mattresses because of how much I’ve grown to love the Emma Premium. And I say grown to love because it did take about a week to break in (it started off quite firm) but after that initial induction period, it was the epitome of comfortable.
The softness of the Halo memory foam moulded around my body but rather than leaving me to sink aimlessly into the depths of the mattress, the hundreds of 5 Zone CarbonFlex springs kept me fully supported, leaving my body feeling fresher the next morning.
I didn’t feel hot, which makes sense because the Emma Premium mattress has been designed with double layers of the brand’s Airgocell foam to make sure you feel as cool and dry as possible. After all, no one wants a mattress that makes you sweat.
Delivery was quick and easy; I didn’t have to lift a finger until it actually turned up at my door. It is worth noting that because of covid restrictions it’s a ‘no contact’ delivery, so if you think you’ll need help manoeuvring your new mattress up the stairs or into the bedroom, it might be worth getting a friend or family member over to help.

Emma Premium mattress review: full review
It’s no mean feat delivering a mattress, especially a Super King (the size I was trialling), but within two weeks of placing my order, it was at my door.
Because of covid restrictions, the delivery man couldn’t help me carry the whopper of a mattress up to my bedroom but after enlisting the help of a slightly disgruntled family member we managed to pivot it up the stairs (‘Friends’ anyone?) using the useful handles on the side of the mattress and place it on the bed.
The mattress looked smart and well made, with a layer on the top of Halo memory foam that was supported underneath by the 5 Zone CarbonFlex springs. Once I’d made it up with fresh linen, my bed was all set up and ready to be tried.
On first impression, the mattress did feel firm and took some time to break in. But after a week, it had a eureka moment and suddenly metamorphosed into the most comfortable mattress I’ve ever slept on, which is why it’s crucial to give everything a chance before making a judgement.
The memory foam moulded deliciously around my body, while the springs kept my spine supported so I had the ideal mixture of softness and support. The technology Emma uses in the Premium mattress is designed to create the best ergonomic support possible by reinforcing specific areas for spinal alignment.
And I felt the difference, as my back went from feeling achy in the morning to completely neutral which made me feel more refreshed as a result.
The cooling technology also works as I have been using this over the hottest days of this year and although it’s obviously still hot — it’s a mattress, not a miracle worker — I didn’t get as sweaty or as overheated as I had done in the past, and the only difference was my mattress.
So, doubling the layers of Airgocell foam was an excellent decision on Emma’s part, as the open pores allowed for more airflow and less moisture to sit on the skin for an overall drier, more comfortable sleep.
It’s not always easy finding Super King sizes but I loved that there were eight sizes to choose from in the Emma mattress, so you’re likely to be covered regardless of the size of your bed.
Two months in, I haven’t noticed any sagging or wear and it still feels as fresh as it did when it first arrived, aside from having broken in, so it’s extra comfortable.
I didn’t realise how much of a difference having a truly good mattress made to the quality of my sleep until I started spending every night on the Emma Premium mattress; I felt better rested each morning which fed into and improved my overall mood.
How much does the Emma mattress cost?
This all depends on the size, but RRP starts at £799 for a single and goes up to £1449 for a Super King.
However, Emma currently has a 50% off sale, so you can snap up a single mattress for £399.50 or if you need a bigger size, the Super King I trialled is now only £724.50.
