I purchased this topper because I had several years ago purchased an Emma mattress. I undertook a lot of research and finally decided on the Emma system as I thought it was perfect. The mattress was not opened for about 18 months, as we were renovating. When it was opened and finally slept on (September 2025), I found it very firm which was… Read more
exactly what I didn't want. I didn't want to make any issues so I thought I'd sort it out by purchasing a topper from Emma. Hence I purchased the Emma Topper so I could get a more comfortable nights sleep. The topper arrived quickly; I purchased the softest one they had. Again very disappointed as it was just as hard as the mattress. It is meant to be soft-medium on one side and medium-firm on the other. I found it very difficult to feel any noticeable difference between the two. I now have got a more use to it but am not happy. I decided I'll will keep it and it will eventually go on the spare bed, when we finish renovating.
My recommendation is if you are looking for a soft mattress topper then don't buy this. To me it's firm. I am now going to have to purchase another one somewhere else to find a soft topper. If Emma had a softer one I would have returned it for a direct exchange, but I don't think they have one ,so I am left to source another one. They are out there as I have slept on them at other places. Just need to find one. A little disappointed and an expensive mistake. This is not a criticism about Emma as their policies are very clear, more than fair and excellent, so it is not their problem. They have not done anything wrong. I wish they did not advertise it as soft-medium, as I was always looking for a soft mattress but supporting. On the positive: I love that it doesn't have the corner straps and it is very smick looking.
At 82 my thoughts were if you have a good mattress why need a topper ? Finally decided on Emma . Emma topper is the best and would recommend 100 %top and tailor each week Thank you Emma Janet Show details · 1
Very disappointed as product not suitable & want to return. Need to warn others as they promote flexible return policy but it is false. Completed request to return - ignored. Sent email - ignored. Online chat with suggestion that they will send an email - still waiting. Also asked many questions why which does not make a consumer comfortable.… Read more
Don’t promote flexible return when it is not. Try it for 3 months & if not happy send back - sure!! Want photos & also have to get back in small box. They used a suction tool which I do not have. Suggest you stay away from this & pick a different company that has legit flexible return policy.

I love how this Topper changed my low-quality mattress and improved my life as a person living in a shared house. Show details · 1
Made my old mattress last a little longer – I purchased this to help return some comfort to my old mattress which had a sag in it until I could afford a new mattress. I used it for 3 months until I was able to purchase my new Emma Diamond mattress - which I popped it on the top of for just a little extra squish! I have it on the “cooling” side and have found I sleep less sweaty now :) Show details · 1
Makes my bed so much more comfortable – -Flattens out the uneven bits of my original mattress -Makes my bed firmer (put on the firm side) which i like -Makes my back and sleep so much better Show reply

Disappointing quality and headache-inducing smell – Haven't had a chance to use the topper yet as after 4 days of it sitting unwrapped in a well ventilated room, the off-gassing smell is still strong and giving me headaches. The link to an ebooklet with instructions provided as a QR code in the box goes to an unavailable web-page and there is no obvious way to access this information via the Emma… Read more
website. When I tried to open the cover to work out which way up it's meant to go, the zip was incredibly stiff and when it finally did move a little, it fell apart and is now unusable. Emailed support to request a return and refund so will wait to see how long it takes to get a response. This was purchased as a clearance item, but I expected the quality to be good enough for it to be usable!
UPDATE: Took a little messing around with support (they never answer the phone and responses by email were not particularly helpful initially) but I did manage to get a full refund after a bit of back and forth by email. As the topper was faulty, I was instructed to dispose of it and provide photographic evidence of the disposal in order to obtain a refund.

one year in and still great! – I've been using the Emma Sleep Mattress Topper for over a year now, and I'm so glad I bought it. My mattress was starting to get old and uncomfortable, and I was waking up with aches and pains every morning. The Emma Topper has made a world of difference. It's so comfortable and supportive, and I wake up feeling refreshed and pain-free. The… Read more · 1
topper is made with two layers of foam: a soft, pressure-relieving layer and a firm, supportive layer. This combination of foams provides the perfect balance of comfort and support. I sleep on my side, and the topper really helps to take the pressure off my shoulders and hips. I also love that the topper is reversible, so I can choose between a softer and firmer feel depending on my mood.
Another great thing about the Emma Topper is that it's machine-washable. This is a huge plus, as it means I can keep it clean and fresh without having to take it to the dry cleaners. The cover is also made with a breathable fabric that helps to regulate temperature, so I don't get too hot or too cold at night.
Overall, I'm really impressed with the Emma Sleep Mattress Topper. It's the best thing I could have done to make my uncomfortable mattress good again. If you're looking for a comfortable, supportive, and machine-washable mattress topper, I highly recommend it.
Does what I wanted it to do – So I’ve been looking for something to help me with the best that comes from my mattress. I have a really good mattress which cost a lot of money. But where I purchased it from had no idea what they were talking about. My mattress was very plush and the manufacturer was fantastic when I complained about the mattress and have done everything they… Read more · 1
can to fix it. So we decided to buy the topper as it is advertised to help with the heat. Well I have noticed a considerable amount of difference now with the topper. But I tried to speak to someone from customer service and they didn’t really know much about it. I had it delivered and I wanted to know wether to use a mattress protector over the topper. Customer service didn’t know the answer and wanted me to wait for someone to get back to me. Well I couldn’t wait as I wanted to get it all set up. So I made a decision and took the mattress protector off as the toppers cover can be removed. Was the best decision I made. Has worked wonders.
Customer service department needs more training. After reading reviews I thought surely they can’t be that bad. Well yes they are. I don’t really think they know what they are talking about.

This topper has been a game changer and has meant that I didn’t need to replace my mattress which was too hard. It’s very comfortable and provides great cushioning for my hips as I’m a side sleeper. I highly recommend this product Show details · 1

Brought because it read as exactly what I was after, as a tosser and turner it was promoted as perfect as it’s supposedly easy to move on unfortunately it’s not the case. Standard foam topper but at a premium price very disappointed. Show details · 1
Before I was sleeping on springs with this I’m sleeping on clouds! The mattress topper has been amazing and so nice to sleep on. A perfect addition to my bed without the hassle of needing to replace a mattress. Show details · 1

Worst experience of my entire life! – Worst service of my entire life. I haven’t even received a confirmation of my order or tax invoice to begin with. I wanted a queen and I was sent a single. I may have ordered incorrectly but I don’t have an order confirmation to prove or disprove this. Called customer service to ask for this and they said they can’t for 24 hours?!? If I… Read more
received a confirmation to begin with I would have read this and made the change.
I’ve sent other emails to your customer service about your hideously rude and aggressive delivery person who said I didn’t include my unit number but I have a screenshot proving it was in the specific delivery instructions.
The entire experience has been beyond awful!
Not sure what the hell you’ve done since I last ordered in 2022 but that was a dream compared to this. I even reflected in my previous emails which were informative and clear.
I can’t even be bothered with a refund.
Update- they still have not provided confirmation of my order or a tax invoice.
No soft side – There wasn’t much difference between the soft and hard side. The soft side wasn’t as soft as i hoped it would be .. it was more medium hard Show details

not a good experience – Purchase 2 mattresses.

The mattress topper was the perfect addition to the Emma mattress that I’ve had for the last few years. It has made it even more comfortable - something u didn’t think possible! Show details · 1
Bought a new Sealy mattress about 10 months ago. And was lacking in comfort. Instead of buying a new mattress. Decided to give this ago. Very happy l did, what a difference it has made. It didn’t smell as some have claimed, sleeping better now. Delivery was next day. Wait for the 40% off deal. Show details · 1
A succession of recent guests have raved about our king sized Emma mattress to which we have recently added the Emma reversible medium/soft topper. It’s the perfect combination! Show details · 1
After struggling with hip pain exacerbated from being a side sleeper but unable to afford a new mattress just yet, I compromised and opted for the Emma Flip Topper. Almost immediately the hip pain was gone, and I was getting a much better quality of sleep. The more plush side feels like a hug. Very happy with my purchase! Show details · 1

We recently purchased a new mattress but I always find it a lottery as to whether it will agree with my back regardless of how it feels in initially. This is our second Emma Topper (for two different beds). The option to flip it to adjust firmness has ensured I can get something that compliments a mattress that maybe isn’t quite right.

Great mattress topper – I got a lightly used mattress from a friend and didn't want to break the bank upgrading my bed, but still wanted to sleep through the night without feeling like I was sleeping on rocks. The Emma flip topper definitely was an improvement to my sleep situation and I am SO glad I purchased this product. It's super comfy and I have no mattress issues… Read more · 1

Worth investment – This mattress topper is versatile as it has two sides to it I.e. Soft and hard side. Really a life changer in adding a soft layer to my rock hard mattress. Show reply

Saved my long hotel stay! – I'm in a hotel room with a terrible single mattress and so I ordered the EMMA topper and it's been a real game changer :) making my long hotel stay much more comfortable. Show reply
Renewed and refreshed – It’s like sleeping in a brand new bed but all we did was buy the Topper and lay it on top of our 5yo mattress. It is supportive and allows my body to sink into its natural form as it supports every curvy part of my body right down to o my ankles. What a treat. Show details · 5
