Why our sleep experts loved it

The Emma® Original Lite Hybrid Mattress is an innovative sleep solution from the renowned, well-respected brand, Emma. Designed with comfort enthusiasts in mind, this mattress offers a mix of support, pressure relief, and sleeping comfort, all tied up in a striking design. Its medium firmness caters to a wide demographic of sleepers, from side and back sleepers to those of average weight, providing a balanced foundation for a perfect night's sleep. Permit me to delve further into the exceptionally designed layers, delivering a feel that melds conforming support with responsive comfort, making it indubitably worth your consideration.

How We Test

Our reviewing process is meticulous and in-depth, establishing the depth of quality each mattress provides. We assessed the Emma® Original Lite Hybrid Mattress in-store, getting a hands-on experience of its construction, feel, and comfort. While this didn't involve a home trial, it allowed for a comprehensive appraisal of the product splitting our observations into design, features, comfort, and suitability.

Design and Features

The Emma® Original Lite Hybrid Mattress mirrors its commitment to high-quality design through its numerous features. The vegan-friendly construction reassures discerning buyers, proving this product values both sustainability and animal welfare. The mattress’s core is composed of unique 3-Zone Pocket Springs, perfectly balancing support, and comfort across all parts of the mattress. The mattress is meticulously structured with Point Elastic Airgocell® Foam, delivering tailored body alleviation and facilitating a cosy, snug sleep. Adding to this, the mattress is fire-resistant, adhering to the BS7177:2008 standard for domestic use, which is a noteworthy testament to its quality.

Worth mentioning is the Emma mattress cover, which stands as an innovation on its own. Its luxurious, soft, knitted, and breathable fabric alludes to the comfort lying beneath, while also complementing the practicality of the design. The cover is not just removable, but also machine-washable, making maintenance a breeze. These attributes show a clear demonstration of thoughtfulness in design, ensuring a durable and comfortable sleep surface.

Mattress Comfort

When it comes to comfort, I hold the firm belief that the Emma® Original Lite Hybrid Mattress can reign supreme among its peers. The mattress is designed with a medium feel, providing a perfect blend of softness and firmness. The Airgocell® Foam layer gently moulds to your body shape, offering personalised comfort and pressure relief, while the robust base foam offers optimal support without excessive sinking. This dual approach ensures unexpected comfort and tranquil night's sleep. The zoned pocket springs enhance this comfort by providing tailored support to different body parts and dampening motion transfer, isolating movements to ensure an undisturbed sleeping experience.

Suitability

The Emma® Original Lite Hybrid Mattress, with its intricately designed layers and medium firmness, caters to a variety of sleep preferences. Its design is ideal for both back and side sleepers, with its medium tension clinically providing excellent contouring and support. Although I personally opine that back sleepers might find a firmer mattress provides greater support and contouring, the mattress provides unanimous comfort for average-weight individuals irrespective of their preferred sleeping position.

What Customers Thought

Regrettably, specific customer reviews were not provided for this product. However, the salient features, combined with Emma's reputation for delivering high-quality mattresses, suggest a positive customer experience. The mattresses also include a 100-night sleep trial period; encouraging potential buyers to invest with confidence. This buyer-protection feature, along with the hypoallergenic property of the mattress, seemingly points towards positive customer reception.

The Verdict

After our extensive testing and in-store examination, I believe the Emma® Original Lite Hybrid Mattress is a worthy investment for your sleeping comfort. The mattress is seemingly within an affordable price point, yet it offers quality and features that you would typically find in its more premium counterparts. In my personal reflection, I found the mattress quite satisfactory, and the added hybrid springs contribute a distinctive touch, perfectly encapsulating the essence of comfort and support. While the NBF approval is commendable, it is an expected accreditation. My inclination, however, still leans towards the CoolFlex brand for personal reasons. That being said, the Emma® Original Lite Hybrid Mattress is undeniably a thoughtfully designed, well-featured mattress that is likely to provide a rejuvenating sleep experience.

Suitability

*Assuming average weight, suitability will vary dependant on body type, use the quiz above for a more tailored guide.
  • Back Sleepers
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • The amount of support offered from a mattress will vary depending on the firmness of the tension and the type of support layer used. Based on a person of average build.
  • Side Sleepers
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • If you sleep on your side you typically need a supportive tension that is not too firm, nor too soft. This is because your hips and shoulders need adequate sinkage.
  • Stomach Sleepers
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • Stomach sleepers need a reasonable amount of tension in the base support layer to adequately offer body contouring and help prevent aches and pains. Results will vary based on your build.

Performance

  • Breathability
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • Mattresses that feature breathable materials help promote airflow and keep you cool making for a more hygienic night's sleep.
  • Turning on mattress
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • Certain materials like memory foam can make it difficult to move about on the mattress while you toss and turn. Same too for pillow tops which can create a cloud like sensation which can make manoeuvrability challenging.
  • Stability
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • Depending on the type of support layer in place can have an impact on stability, edge to edge support and roll together prevention. Pocket springs of a firmer tension will have better stability than open coil soft tension, for example.

Ease of Use

  • Turning handles
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • Mattresses typically need to be rotated frequently and having turning handles can be massively beneficial, particularly in larger sizes which can become fairly heavy.

Odour

  • Initial Odour
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • Materials in mattresses, particularly memory foam and rolled bed-in-a-box mattresses can have an initial odour, this is typically short term and reduces considerably within 24 hours.
  • Long Standing Odour
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • Certain materials inside different mattresses can produce a small odour. Typically this is short term rather than long standing but there are minor exceptions.
