That said, for the colder months, the original is perfect for me. It supports me, keeps me comfortable and sleeps well through the night. Even after three months, it feels like a solid, reliable mattress that offers comfort and value, not a top choice if staying cool is a big priority.
How does it compare after three months?
At three months, the mattress has lived up to most of its promises. My scattered body aches are reduced, thanks to the combination of foam and five targeted support zones. The cover is soft to the touch and easily removable, making maintenance easy. A small detail, but one that makes a significant difference over time.
As mentioned above, the only real drawback is the temperature regulation. While the foam is breathable, the mattress didn’t stay as cool as I expected on warm nights until I added a cooling mattress topper. That said, it provides a consistently comfortable sleeping environment for most of the year.
Ruth’s review:
I became aware of the huge environmental impact of mattresses. Once you start considering them, fly-tipped and dropped rugs are everywhere; Foam is a problem, and I cringe at the thought of the material that goes into the average mattress. Secondly, my husband has been suffering from various spinal ailments for some time now. So, while I may be able to sleep on the floor, my bed mates do not share this circumstance. And now, with the full extension, we have a new one BedroomAnd a reason to get a new mattress (without throwing one away).
As a hybrid mattress that has a higher ratio of pocket-springs-to-foam than others, Emma original mattress (formerly known as Hybrid Premium and NextGen Premium) feels closer to a traditional ‘sprung mattress’ than some of its rival hybrid mattresses, which I really like. It feels properly supportive and structured, and that, to me, makes it less likely to drop when someone moves house. Also, the four layers of memory foam on top of the springs give it that suppleness that makes memory foam so appealing.
Because of this large amount of springs, this mattress has 62% less foam, and the springs themselves are made from 51% recycled steel. Overall, they calculate (using a tool called Planetly by OneTrust) that these mattresses have a 54% lower carbon footprint per kilogram than foam mattresses. It’s a decent start.
