Hypnos vs Emma Mattresses

Having conducted much research into getting a new mattress I'd decided that I did not want any which would be involved in the involvement with too much in the way of chemicals being used such as can be found in many foam mattresses. Also given the fact that people might readily shell out 2k on a two week holiday but then scrimp on spending the same amount on a mattress ( which they would potentially spend a third of their lifetime sleeping on ) I decided that if they're good enough for royalty then they're just about good enough for me. I plumped for the Hypnos Earth 2 ( even though it has hardly any reviews) and am very pleased with my purchase three weeks later. It offers decent support yet isn't too hard and my backache has subsided somewhat since and am sleeping better. So my verdict is to go for it and at least try oneafter all you only live once ( on Earth- get it ? )

We are extremely happy with our new mattress. The knowledge of staff and assistance we received at the White City Manchester branch when we chose it was excellent. We have always had an extra firm mattress, however, as we have got older we decided it was time for a bit more comfort. So glad we chose this mattress, it is comfortable but gives the right amount of support. The pillow top makes it feel very cosy. It does have a slight smell, but it is not unpleasant and with regular airing of the mattress it is dissipating. We are definitely sleeping better. So happy with our purchase.

This is an excellent mattress, and we've had a great buying experience. The mattress is firm, and very comfortable... and it's made to a very high standard. The purchase journey and delivery were frictionless, and I had the option to easily reschedule the delivery when my initial delivery date conflicted with something. On the morning of delivery, everything was smooth - I received a call to confirm a more accurate delivery time, the delivery team were careful and courteous, and took the (extremely heavy) mattress right to the bedframe. No complaints at all!

We absolutely love our new bed. It's so comfortable and took no getting used to at all, it's amazing. We bought another bed from Bensons for outr guest room earlier in the year and decided then that there was only one bed for us. We took the plunge and decided to get it ordered and so glad we did. It may be expensive, but in my opinion, it"'s worth every penny. Thanks again to the Zamier at Bensons Bolton who looked after our request brilliantly but also to the delivery crew, Mick and Kelvin who were amazing, polite, quick and super efficient. Thanks again.

Our new mattress Hypnos luxury earth 5 , seems very comfortable at the moment ( only been using it for one and half weeks) , l would have preferred it to have been a double sided mattress that you could flip over occasionally, but l did not realise until it arrived , so you can only rotate the mattress , this is Benson's specification and l was disappointed with that as it is quite an expensive mattress, we will have to see how it wears.

After purchase and having a nightmare with a different boxed mattress from a very well-known brand, I was really sceptical about all the positive reviews for this but really wanted to see if they were all the same.
I need not have feared. This is simply brilliant.
Excellent delivery from 2 John Lewis drivers who both wore masks and asked me to keep my lounge door closed. They called to say they were on their way so I had everything ready.
Yes the mattress needed airing for a few hours and what u found was that if you remove the top cover this helps the foam breathe. I washed the cover twice straight after each other and left the mattress overght with the window wide open in the bedroom.
The results were that within a few days the smell had completely gone and nothing was lingering. Yes put your nose to it and you could still smell bits but nothing like the other I had which smelt toxic.
The comfort is fantastic. If you sit on it you sink, especially perched on the edge but once laid flat on it your body is well supported with no bottom sag in the middle that I had from the previous one.
A few months in and I have to say this is the best mattress I have ever had. No dips, easy to change due to handles close to the 4 corners and very light.
The zipped top is great for removing and washing if needed.
John Lewis you have restored my faith in boxed mattresses after a terrible experience with another brand.
Stick with this one and you wont go wrong.
I use 2 firm down pillows with it and due to the softness of the mattress they have eased more giving a medium to firm response. With my previous mattress these pillows were far too hard so you may need to play with some pillows as they will feel different.

I am soooooo glad that I bought this just before the Black Friday when it came back into stock. This bed is so comfortable! I have never had a memory foam mattress, only a mattress with springs. It sound strange but I cant believe how quiet it is! When my boyfriend moves around, I cant hear or feel anything! The mattress is currently on the floor as my new bed frame has not arrived yet and its still very comfortable. Its not too firm. I would definitely say its medium. I am thinking about getting the firm topper which is free. But will decide once frame arrives. The mattress is a lot lighter than my previous mattress which makes changing the sheet easier. And the delivery service was excellent. I received a text message with my 4 hour time slot. And it arrived exactly at the beginning of the slot. I was running late and the driver called me and waited for me. He even took it up two flights of steep stairs. All the Way to my flat. There is a slight chemical smell. Its been two weeks and sometimes I do get a hint of it under the sheets. But I wouldnt say its terrible or very noticeable. And would probably disappear faster if I aired the mattress out a bit. There are only two downsides for me. Number one, the handles on the side arent very strong. Number two, I never want to get out of bed in the morning, so Im nearly late for work every day!

We had been waiting to get a new mattress from before lockdown, but wanted to go to the storeroom of a well known manufacturer but hadnt found the time. After some research and reading reviews decided to take a chance on this mattress rather than just keep waiting for said showroom to re-open, and are we glad we did. This mattress is wonderfully comfortable and a fraction of the price we were considering spending on the other mattress. With the price, the option to return if not happy and the 10 year guarantee you really cannot go wrong with this mattress. It is also considerably lighter than the one we were considering - a consideration as you get older, particularly in these strange times when you might only get something delivered to the door. My wife is sensitive to temperature at night and we have slept (or tried to sleep) on mattresses that seem to generate heat, and this was a concern with a mattress that included memory foam, but there has been no issue from that perspective. Others have commented on the smell of the mattress, but having left the mattress to "settle" and air for 24 hours, we didnt find this to be an issue. All in all delighted with this purchase and would recommend to others - so much so that we bought a second for the guest bedroom.

I was a little dubious at the beginning about this product because of reviews online and had to think before I purchased it but after a week I decided to just buy it as it comes with a sleep trial so its risk free (200 night trial)
The mattress is top quality, was surprised at how easy it is to unpack and get ready on the bed. After about 3-4 hours it was in its full size and ready to sleep. The best thing to do is leave the window opened so room is well ventilated as it has a new sort of smell at the beginning, I would say this lasts about 48 hours but can be longer.
The easiest way to allow this mattress to expand is to remove the top cover and let it breathe (tip that Emma gave me when I emailed them). The first time I used it I felt so weird sleeping on it (in a good way), it was so comfortable! It just goes to show how bad an old mattress is. I find it a little soft for me however you can receive a comfort layer (request these and Emma will send it free of charge) which can improve it and make it firmer and also add 14 days to the trial!
Has it made a difference to my sleep? Yes!
Would I recommend it? Yes!
Would I buy another? Yes!
Do I want to get out of bed in the morning? No

This is a fantastic mattress and extremely comfortable. Having bought a different out of the box mattress that seems to be on the TV all the time, I was really apprehensive about getting another as the first one was great for the first few months but then sagged in the middle and the springs became faulty. John Lewis were brilliant however and refunded me.
So onto this one - delivery was fantastic as always and contactless as I stayed downstairs.
The mattress is easy to turn around due to the 4 handles - 2 on each side which is a bonus. The quality is outstanding and the top cover is easy to remove and wash.
There was a slight smell for a couple of weeks but I regularly removed the cover to air the foam for a few hours and washed the cover so it smelt of my washing powder. This has now completely gone.
The firmness did take a while to get used to. I had a cheap firm mattress from a famous swedish store so this felt soft but after a few nights sleep, this wasnt an issue. I now sleep soundly.
Really pleased with this and with the 200 day trial and no quibble return - I feel very assured that this could finally be the one for me.
Highly recommended.
