Product Overview

The Emma Original Elite is a soft medium hybrid pocket spring mattress from Emma, combining Emma's AirGrid® layer of flexible open air pockets with breathable, point-elastic Airgocell® foam, pressure-relieving MemoryAdapt Foam and SupportBase transition foam over a 7-zone edge-to-edge pocket spring system.

The result is a cushioning, breathable hybrid mattress that relieves pressure at the shoulders and hips for side and combination sleepers, backed by a 200 night trial and a 10 year guarantee.

Who Is This Mattress For?

The Emma Original Elite is a hybrid pocket spring mattress best suited to sleepers who want soft medium support, breathable AirGrid® and Airgocell® cooling layers and 7-zone head-to-toe spring support.

Soft Medium Feel - 2/6: A gentle balance of softness and support. Soft Medium is perfect for side sleepers and combination sleepers who want pressure relief with a little more stability and support.

Best for

  • Side sleepers - the AirGrid® layer and MemoryAdapt Foam cushion shoulders and hips, with a little more support from the 7-zone springs beneath
  • Combination sleepers - responsive pocket springs adapt as you move, so you stay comfortable when you change position
  • Couples - individually pocketed springs help reduce partner disturbance
  • People who want cushioning without too much sink - the SupportBase layer gives balanced support beneath the soft comfort layers
  • People with pressure point pain - MemoryAdapt Foam spreads your weight evenly to ease pressure on shoulders, hips and joints
  • Hot sleepers - open air pockets in the AirGrid® layer and breathable Airgocell® foam keep air moving to help you stay cool
  • Sleepers up to 130kg (20st) per side

Not ideal for

  • Front sleepers who need firmer support
  • Heavier sleepers who may need a firmer tension

How it Compares

Vs firmer mattresses: The Emma Original Elite's soft medium tension, AirGrid® layer and MemoryAdapt Foam give noticeably more cushioning and pressure relief at the shoulders and hips. If you sleep on your side, sleep warm or share a bed, this is the stronger choice. Firmer mattresses suit front sleepers, heavier sleepers or those who want a more rigid, supportive surface.

Vs softer mattresses: The Emma Original Elite has more structural support underneath its comfort layers than a fully soft mattress. Softer mattresses can feel more immediately plush but may not keep your spine aligned as consistently, particularly for combination sleepers who move during the night. The SupportBase layer and 7-zone springs here stop you sinking too far.

Vs mattresses without dedicated cooling layers: The Emma Original Elite pairs two breathable comfort layers, AirGrid® and Airgocell® foam, with MemoryAdapt Foam and a 7-zone edge-to-edge spring system. If you want soft, pressure-relieving comfort but tend to overheat on memory foam, this combination is designed to keep air moving. If temperature is not a concern, a simpler hybrid mattress may meet your needs at a lower price.

10 Year Guarantee

The Emma Original Elite is backed by Emma's 10 year manufacturer's guarantee against defects in materials and workmanship. With a 7-zone edge-to-edge pocket spring system beneath layers of AirGrid®, Airgocell® and MemoryAdapt Foam, this is a mattress built with longevity in mind - and the guarantee reflects that confidence.

Awards & Accreditations

National Bed Federation (NBF) Approved - Independently verified to meet strict UK standards for quality, safety and responsible manufacturing.

Ready to Upgrade Your Sleep

The Emma Original Elite brings together a breathable AirGrid® layer, cooling Airgocell® foam and pressure-relieving MemoryAdapt Foam over a 7-zone edge-to-edge spring system, all in a soft medium hybrid with a thicker premium cover. If you sleep on your side, move between positions or find yourself waking up warm at night, this is a strong contender.

    The mattress is described as a medium / soft but in reality is a rock hard / hard mattress. The which review of this mattress also describes as 7 on the scale of 0 - 10 but I would say 1 (1 being the hardest) after a few weeks on it - it does not feel any better - I think this is going back.
