Unique points	At Emma we don't let accolades determine when our work is done, we continually strive to make advancements in comfort through innovation. With our on site state-of-the-art testing facility, coupled with our veteran product development team, we give you the perfect mattress. A three layer construction: 1.5" Airgocell® Foam 2" Visco-elastic Memory Foam 8" Cold Foam.	Our "Tiny Mattress" technology is the most significant mattress invention in the last 100 years. There is no other mattress on the market that compares to our one-of-a-kind technology and it's GREENGUARD Gold Certified. We take a 3" piece of high density hybrid foam optimized for our technology, cut out a 2.25" x 2.25" rectangular cylinder, and then encase it in a fabric pocket. We then attach the Cushion Pocket to a .078" high carbon steel pocketed coil spring to create our patented "Cushion Pocket Spring", better known as the "Tiny Mattress". Finally, we combine roughly 700 of these "Tiny Mattresses" to create a mattress that reacts independently to personal weight and size.

Firmness info	Emma smoothly combines high-quality materials to create a dream-like mattress that conforms to every body type. Rated a 5/10 on the firmness scale. They worked long and hard to find the perfect composition for our Emma mattress and have found the optimum balance between support and comfort. Decide for yourself with a risk-free 365 day sleep trial.	The SleepOvation mattress is meant to relieve back-pain and correct your sleeping posture, it does feel on the firmer side but not because the mattress itself is firm - but because it's correcting your spine. It's actually a very comfortable plush mattress, but someone who suffers from severe back pain, will feel the mattress to be much stiffer than someone with a healthy spine. It's difficult to compare our mattress to the traditional firmness standards of other mattresses simply because nothing like the 700 tiny mattresses exist.

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.	Our stretch knit polyester and elastane cover is designed to complement the "tiny mattresses" ability to adjust to personal weight and size. More specifically, we've integrated a quilted, internal (FR) mattress pad that offers a more plush level of comfort. This zip-off removable and washable cover allows access to independently sealed cushions and unmatched cleanliness.

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.	The cover's miniature cushion pads provide an added level of comfort and the engineered air channels promote airflow, to maximize the "tiny mattress" technology. Cooling Air Channels Avoid the headaches of sleeping hot and sweaty on sheet foam or other advertised "cooling" technology that do little to prevent heat. Our air channels are designed to maintain cool temperatures for a refreshing night's sleep.
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.	700 "Tiny Mattresses" For Absolute Spine Support Our independent suspension distributes body weight to relieve back pain, discomfort, and restlessness caused by sheet foam layers in other mattresses. Individual Vertebrae Support The individual suspension system supports each bone (33) in the human spinal column separately. It cradles the body's curves while providing enough firmness for the back's muscular and bony structures. Plus it's Chiropractor Endorsed!

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.
