Absolutely the greatest mattress ever!!! – Having changed from a traditional mattress to an Emma mattress, the quality of sleep we get is out of this world! As someone who has had lower back issues, the level of comfort and support an Emma mattress has given us is incredible. We are sleeping far better than ever before. Thank you Emma!! Show details · 1
Was at a mate's house who had purchased an EMMA, he said have a try of this. Laid on it for 30 seconds, ordered one three days later and have never looked back. Love your work guys. Show reply
My partner and I each purchased a medium-firm Emma mattress in June 2022, when we were living separately. We frequently stayed at each other's places, so both mattresses were being used independently. Within six months, one of the mattresses started causing us recurring back pain. On one occasion, my partner woke up in such severe pain that he… Read more
couldn't move, and we ended up taking him to the emergency department. We noticed that when two people slept on the mattress, there appeared to be a dip forming in the middle, which we suspect was contributing to the lack of proper back support. I contacted Emma in January 2023 to raise the issue. After several emails, delays and follow-ups, their response was simply that we were outside the 100-night trial period and therefore couldn't return it. Despite the mattress being less than a year old, no meaningful solution was offered. Now, the second mattress has also developed the same issue, causing back pain after a couple of years of use. Two separately used mattresses, purchased at the same time, developing the same problem is a pretty strong indication to me that this is a product quality issue rather than an isolated defect. We purchased Emma because of its reputation and excellent reviews, expecting a quality mattress that would last for years. Instead, we've ended up with two expensive mattresses that have failed to provide adequate support, along with disappointing customer service. A mattress should not be causing this level of discomfort after such a short period of use, especially at Emma's price point. I would not recommend Emma mattresses, particularly for couples. They might feel comfortable initially, but our experience raises serious concerns about their long-term durability and support. My advice would be to look elsewhere.
Will never buy again or recommend. I'd rather sleep on my sofa, unfortunately. Edit: After this review I decided to try that, and I felt so much better in the morning :/ This mattress is too soft to where it doesn't support my back. I'm lighter than the average male, so this should have been a good fit. I could instantly feel that it let my back… Read more
cave in, and some days woke up a little sore. I thought maybe I was just getting used to it, or maybe there were other factors.
I ended up finding a correlation with sleeping at my partner's place regularly (no pain) and sleeping at mine (back soreness), and the last few months I've only slept in my bed and it gotten pretty bad. I'm an ex-gymnast with very good flexibility and range of motion, and never had a single back issue before this.
It's such a huge hunk of fabric (not to mention expensive) but it's going to have to go, and I'm frustrated I put up with 3 years of sleeping on this thing. Sleeping on the side or stomach certainly helped, but we won't always stay in the same position.
Edit: I did contact support prior to writing this, and received a similar generic response as their reply below. I don't expect any action, just want others to be aware, and if they do buy, don't accept or try to put up with any slight issue.

I would have put 0 stars if I could. I ordered this mattress because I had slept on a friend's and loved it. The first mattress arrived damaged and had lumps and bumps and no side support. Emma Sleep advised they would have the mattress collected within 7 days which would have been before the 21st March. Still not collected. I had visitors who… Read more
had to sleep on it but it was so uncomfortable that one of them hurt their back trying to get out of bed due to the lack of side support. I gave them my bed and slept on the couch, then went out and bought a rollaway bed the next day which I slept on till they left. The second mattress arrived on the 27th March This one was even worse. They advised they would also collect this and refund me. It is now the 3rd of April and both mattresses are still here taking up valuable space that I need. I hurt my back trying to move them out of the way for the mattress I ordered from a different company. I called Emma Sleep as I'd had enough of their AI generated emails with airy fairy responses saying they hoped I was getting some wonderful sleep, blah blah blah. What the? They kept saying they understood my frustration, but clearly they don't. The person I got on the phone said he couldn't do much because a case had already been generated and I couldn't get a refund until the mattresses were collected. At one point they sent me an email giving me 2 options. 1 - take it to an op shop or 2 - take it to landfill and then wanted proof of whichever I chose to do. Seriously? Firstly, I cannot lift a mattress on my own. Secondly, this is assuming I have a trailer and tow bar which I don't. Thirdly, this is me doing their work for them and saving them money. It also costs $50 per mattress to dispose of to land fill. I have only just moved into my new house and am still unpacking. My belongings were in storage for 2 years so I'm having to wash everything, therefore I am very time poor and exhausted without having the added stress of dealing with a company who can somehow get a mattress delivered within a week, but is stalling to collect them. The same chap delivered both and said he couldn't understand why they didn't just get him to collect the first one at the same time as this was something they do. Absolutely appalling customer service. How can't hey get it so wrong when my friends mattress was so comfortable. Shame on you Emma Sleep. Not good enough.

Unfortunately the king mattress was about 7cm too small for my king bed frame. I waited 5 days for it to inflate but it didn’t. I sleep on the edge of the bed and I rolled off the side it provided no support unfortunately. I have initiated return process and the customer service has actually been seamless and amazing! But the mattress itself is absolutely terrible. Thin layer of memory foam and you can feel the springs all through the sides. Show details

I will suggest Emma Mattress to my friends and my family – I love it because it helped my lower back stop painting when i sleep. Not too hard or soft make me feel comfortable all time Show details · 1
Honest opinion – The mattress is firm enough, 5-6 from 10, 10 being the hardest. It’s ideal for me, I had issues with a too soft mattress before and now it’s got better. Show details · 1
Emma is a welcome sight at the end of each busy day – So pleased with our queen size Emma that we have now purchased two king singles for our household. Very good support for one member who has had a hip replacement. Easy to roll over. Making the bed is a breeze as the corners of Emma are easy and light to lift for fitted sheets. Show details · 1

The mattress is 7cm less width than Australian standard king Bed. The mattress is sunken on all sides. The filling is 5cms sagging on all sides. I have sent 6 emails stating that it is inferior quality. There is no point in my trialling it. If you sit anywhere near the side you slide onto the floor. the I am lucky to have an alternative mattress… Read more
to sleep on. The Emma company do not have a phone number. I get the same email reply. Answers nothing just says they are busy. I paid nearly a 1000 dollars. It was supposed to be a Black Friday special. It is just rubbish. I will post again with a photo of the sagging. I am sick of no response or having to do so much work to get a reply. A robot response. You have to go to a lot of work producing photos. Rulers to prove it is sagging. Taking the cover off. To bad if you live alone or are incapacitated. It is such a shocking experience. Worst online shopping experience I have ever had.

Latest follow-ups
100% satisfaction from the Emma Comfort Mattress because it ticked all the boxes I bought it for – Installed it and followed the directions to obtain maximum service out of the mattress. Now very impressed with the degree of comfort and durability being experienced in usage. Happy also that it is not a heavy mattress to manipulate when changing the bed linen. A big factor for an aging user. Show details · 2
Follow-up · The mattress is still a great mattress, but as I have aged and my hands we not as flexible I quickly realised that the mattress would be even better if it had candles on the sides that could be gripped to enabling the turning of the mattress. Very few manufacturers factor in the needs of older people in using their products.
Happy with my purchase – Bought a single Emma mattress to go into a day bed. Fits well, lightweight to move but firm to lie on. Very happy customer. Show details · 2
Follow-up · I stopped using this mattress. I was too firm for me. When I slept on my side I would lose feeling in the down facing arm.

I’m very disappointed with my Emma Comfort Adapt mattress. The king size I purchased is noticeably smaller than my king bed frame, which was the first issue. I tried several times to return the mattress, but customer service refused, insisting I… Read more
continue using it for a few more months to see if it would ‘settle.’ Unfortunately, the mattress has now started sagging, and because the 150‑day trial period has passed, I have no choice but to keep it. Overall, this has been a frustrating experience and I cannot recommend it.
Follow-up · After multiple email exchanges with Emma regarding my earlier concerns, I want to provide an update. Emma ultimately agreed to replace the mattress, which I appreciate and view as a positive step in handling the situation. However, given my experience so far, I chose not to accept a replacement and instead requested a return and refund. To Emma’s… Read more

Comfortable but nowhere near as soft as I thought it would be. We are both lightweight (50-70kgs) side sleepers and we both feel like we sleep “on” this mattress rather than sinking in. That doesn’t make it uncomfortable, but it’s just not what I expected from reading all the reviews. We’ve used it for 2 weeks now. From my research this one… Read more · 1
seemed to be the softest “mattress in a box” available, so I’m very glad I didn’t go with anything firmer. It was a good (sale) price so I don’t mind spending a bit extra on a topper to get a softer feel. Delivery was prompt
The mattress is very comfortable and takes the shape of your body. I have slept well on it since I bought it. The only thing I would improve is the fact that the edges of the mattress could be more supportive. Show details · 2
Follow-up · 2 months in and the bed still feels great. The edge support is yhe only thing I would suggest improvements on..
Fantastic company to do business with. Mattress was delivered just under 24hrs from order (Business Address) with great tracking. I had an issue with the QR code on the box for instructions and care. The help team went above and beyond to get me the information and rectify the QR code error. Once my bed frame turned up I could finally test out the… Read more · 1
new mattress - To be honest I was a little sceptical of a mattress in a box but with 150day sleep guarantee I thought why not. I can honestly say I'm so very glad I gave Emma Mattresses a try. Best night sleep I've had in a very long time. So very comfortable and much cooler than normal Mattresses. Thanks guys for the fantastic work. Keep it up.

Firm, gave me back pain, have not had a single good night sleep on it. Purchased for my 2 year old but co sleep regularly. Had to actually use the 100+ night trial return period.
Hi Kat, Thank you for reaching out to us and sharing… Read more
thank you to all, who had provided the experiences, I too was hesitant and the fact they dont have a physical address says it all, they hide on the web, and in the case you decide to take them to court you would need to take them to the high courts which will be well over the cost of the mattress, not worth this hassle, not buying from here again or ever

Contacted them on the scheduled day of delivery to see if I could get a delivery window, only to be told that the mattress I had ordered and paid for was out of stock and wasn’t restocking for 3 weeks. Who knows when I would have found that out if I hadn’t reached out to them. Since the delivery was scheduled for that day I had already sold my old… Read more
mattress that morning. The only solution they had was for me to refund my order and buy a different mattress from their line (for more money). So I’ve had to spend more than I wanted, am out heaps while I wait for the refund to process, and will be sleeping on the couch for god knows how long because they couldn’t do anything to expedite the delivery despite it being their mistake.
Update, after reading many more awful reviews on here I have cancelled my order and will be looking elsewhere.

Absolutely loving my new mattress. Needed a mattress for a second bed and am genuinely impressed by how comfy this is especially as I was hesitant about a mattress in a box. Feels like a memory foam and is super comfy. Delivery took a little while but overall would happily recommend product. Show details · 1
Product is OK. Customer Service and communication woeful. I bought a mattress well in advance of a move into a new property. I called rather than buying online and confirmed that they could deliver on a specific date a number of weeks in advance. I was told no problem. Miscommunication started then. I was bombaded with messages to say "on… Read more
it's way", "we have your parcel". Clearly not. When the day came for move, no sign of the mattress and no communication. About a week later I received a"sorry we are out of stock". Err, I bought and paid for this, so stock should have been put aside! A series of seriously patronising emails overflowing with platitudes "understanding my frustrations" followed. Two weeks later the mattress arrived. Simply not good enough.

We have had the Emma comfort mattress for about two years now, and for the most part it has been comfortable. It's a medium-firm mattress and so far there is no sagging in the foam. However, I have noticed some partner disturbance - I am smaller than my husband (55kg, vs 100kg) and can definitely feel his movements through the mattress. Show details · 1
Excellent. Best sleep I have had for a long time. It felt very soft but sleeping it is very supportive Show reply
Not as good as the one we have at home but still comfy and relaxing - didn’t realise I’d ordered one with springs - highly recommend Emma products Show details · 1
