What is the trial period for the Emma Original Elite Mattress and what does the guarantee cover?

The Emma Original Elite Mattress (also known as the Emma Hybrid AirGrid) comes with a 200-night home trial. Emma collects it free of charge if you're not satisfied, with a full refund. The 10-year manufacturer's guarantee covers material defects in the 7-zone InfinitySpring core and AirGrid® layer.

Which sleeping positions does the Emma Original Elite Mattress suit?

The Emma Original Elite (medium soft, 2/5) is best suited to side sleepers who want cushioning at the shoulders and hips with immediate rebound. The AirGrid® layer and 7-zone InfinitySpring provide enough support for back sleepers too. Stomach sleepers or those with higher body weight who prefer a firmer surface will be better served by the Original or Original Lite.

How does the AirGrid® layer in the Emma Original Elite Mattress work?

The AirGrid® layer in the Emma Original Elite is made from hyper-elastic polymer in a honeycomb structure. Its hundreds of open-air channels allow heat to dissipate passively - no graphite, no gel - while the structure immediately springs back after every movement. Unlike memory foam, which can cause a 'stuck' feeling, AirGrid® provides pressure relief without restricting movement. The NBF-approved UltraDry cover adds moisture-wicking breathability at the surface.

What is the difference between the Emma Original Elite and the Original Pro?

The Original Pro (27 cm, 7 zones) uses ThermoSync® graphite foam for active thermal conduction - cushioned, body-hugging, with targeted cooling. The Original Elite (27 cm, 7-zone InfinitySpring, reinforced edge) uses AirGrid® polymer for passive cooling via open air channels. The Original Elite has more bounce and a 'floating' feel; the Original Pro is more enveloping. Both suit side sleepers.

Is the Emma Original Elite NBF approved?

Yes - the Emma Original Elite Mattress is approved by the National Bed Federation (NBF), which is the UK trade body that sets quality and safety standards for mattresses. NBF approval confirms the mattress has been manufactured to verified standards for materials, durability, and hygiene.

Is the cover on the Emma Original Elite Mattress removable and washable?

Yes - the UltraDry cover is fully removable and machine washable at 40°C. Its moisture-wicking properties are retained after washing. The mattress is single-sided and should not be flipped.
