However, it quickly redeemed itself with superb motion isolation – anyone who has to share a bed with a restless partner will know how essential that is – I slept soundly on this mattress while my partner moved around, getting in and out of bed several times. Even the dog managed to jump up onto the bed undetected several times during the testing period.
Although this mattress is classed as a medium firm, it definitely feels much softer, but not so soft that you disappear into it and are unable to move. It still felt like I was sleeping on top of the mattress, rather than sinking in, and while it doesn’t have quite the same bounce as a hybrid, moving around was still easy and comfortable.

Emma Original mattress review: Verdict
If you’re looking for a comfortable mattress at a reasonable price point, then look no further than the Emma Original. Whether you prefer to sleep on your side, back or stomach, this mattress offers exceptional support and pressure relief so you won’t wake up with aches and pains in the morning.
Hot sleepers can also breathe a sigh of relief because, despite its all-foam construction, this mattress doesn’t get unbearably hot. The side support could be better, but that’s really only a problem for those who sleep right on the edge of the bed.
This is a medium-firm mattress, with an emphasis on medium, as it does have some softness to it. Those that want more bounce might be better suited elsewhere, though – perhaps with a hybrid mattress.
However, this is also a low-maintenance mattress, with no flipping or rotating required, and it’s easy to keep clean thanks to the removable, machine-washable cover.
Buying the Emma Original feels almost risk-free and, with the generous 200-night trial period and a ten-year guarantee, it’s definitely a mattress that will leave you sleeping soundly.
