Cover	The breathable Emma cover combines a premium design with climate regulating fibers which allow the mattress to breathe and not retain heat like other mattresses do. At the same time, the cover is flexible allowing the mattress to adapt perfectly to your body. This removable and washable top cover is made of 99% polyester and 1% elastane. The side cover is made of 100% polyester. The bottom cover is made of 89% polyester and 11% polypropylene.	Featuring the same cover used in other GhostBed models, the cover contains a proprietary formulation developed in Japan where cooling properties are woven directly into the fibers of the yarn, creating the Ghost Ice Fabric. The Ghost Ice Fabric is instantly cool to the touch, and will absorb and trap heat that is released by the body. Molecular changes in the fabric will neutralize the heat, keeping the sleeping surface cool.
Machine-washable cover	No	No
Ergonomic handles	Yes	No
Comfort	The maximum amount of adaptability through our special German technology, and expertly developed foam. This allows airflow through the foam, allowing you to stay cool at night and sleep soundly. The top layer of breathable and adaptable Airgocell® foam ensures optimized adaptability. In addition to this, Airgocell® foam has an open pore structure for ideal air circulation adding to the Emma Mattress' climate regulating design. The grey side cover with 3D-mesh supports air circulation.	3D Matrix Polymer Layer offers 3 dimensions of comfort:The 3D Matrix layer is an integrated thermal conductive gel polymer. As excess heat accumulates under and around the sleeper, it is absorbed into 3D Matrix layer. As a fully connected sheet, that absorbed heat travels away from the sleeper. Conventional Foam layers comfort you by compressing as different parts of the body "press" on the foam. The 3D Matrix layer is an omni directional layer which stretches in all directions to mold and contour to each individual part of the sleeper's body. The 3D Matrix layer is ergonomically designed which allows the sleeper to sleep on the mattress, NOT in it. The GhostBed 3D Matrix Mattress features the exciting new 3D Matrix technology. This new comfort layer technology is revolutionary because it automatically bio-adjusts to two different body shapes and body temperatures at the same time, creating the ideal sleeping environment for both sleepers. The 3D Matrix layer automatically bio-adjusts to both sleep partners through simultaneous heat diffusion and weight distribution - two critical elements in sound sleep. The 3D Matrix allows excess heat is drawn away from the body. The Gel Polymer layer stretches in all directions conforming to the body without causing it to sink into the mattress. Gel-infused Memory Foam absorbs and dissipates body heat as fresh air passes through the foam.
Support	The mattress perfectly aligns your spine, no matter what position you are sleeping in, to give you a better and healthier night's sleep. A middle layer of adaptive memory foam ensures an improved distribution of support, pressure relief and spine support and alignment. The cold foam firm bottom layer provides the necessary counter pressure whatever your sleeping position. Here we have added our innovative German Cut-out Technology which helps to align your spine giving you a healthier night's sleep. This technology gives you support in your lower back and shoulder areas while also helping the Emma Mattress to adapt to you.	The core of the GhostBed 3D Matrix features the patented Ghost 3D Matrix innerspring coil unit with our Spirited Edge support Design. With two rows of specially reinforced coils along the edge of the bed make it easier to sit comfortably without slipping off the edge plus you can sleep right on the edge without feeling like you'll fall off. The 3D Matrix ensures body weight is distributed evenly, relieving pressure and reducing the body's need to reposition itself, allowing each sleeper to wake up well rested, free of aches and pains, and energized to embrace the coming day. Ghost 3D Matrix Soft Transition Foam is one inch of pure pressure relief. This layer contours to your body and reduces the need to toss and turn. Individually wrapped coils provide that sturdy, responsive support of traditional innerspring mattresses you're used to.

FAQs

Emma

Is the Emma Sleep mattress a good investment?

The Emma Sleep mattress is an excellent choice, particularly for those who sleep on their backs. Despite being an all-foam mattress, it offers a perfect blend of comfort and support that back sleepers require. It also provides adequate support for stomach sleepers, which is quite an achievement for an all-foam mattress.

What makes the Emma Mattress unique?

The Emma Original is made with Visco Memory foam, which perfectly conforms to your body shape, providing relief to sensitive pressure points and ensuring spinal alignment. The mattress also has a high-resilience extra foam layer at the bottom that offers additional back support as you sleep.

Why does the Emma mattress feel warm?

The warmth you experience with the Emma mattress is due to its construction from synthetic foam, including memory foam. These materials are known for their heat retention properties. Vasco elastic foams like memory foam respond to, retain, and build up heat to function effectively.
