Over all I have found my experience with Emma extremely unprofessional. Setting high expectations and delivering low results is one of the worst things you can do in business in Australia. I will spend the time writing a poor review on all platforms. Like I see many customers have done before me. This outcome has only served you and not the… Read more

Bought our Emma mattress 4 years ago. Good for the first couple of years. For at least the last year we've put up with softness/valleys that go beyond just mere body indentations that you should expect. Once I'm off the bed, there is a minimal visible indentation so you can't claim under warranty. But once you lie down, you are in a trough.… Read more

I weigh 80kg and my wife a lot less. We have a decent bed base and we rotated the mattress regularly for the first couple of years but gave in when that became pointless. Might try a hybrid with springs but won't be buying Emma.

Terrible experience – Product arrived a week late, I had to continually chase them for an update and nothing was given. Then it arrived the box was wet and damaged and when I mentioned this to them, they just said don't worry it's plastic wrapped. They offered no compensation for the damaged product late delivery and didn't care the considerable time I'd spent chasing and arranging the delivery. I wouldn't touch them again, terrible experience. Show details

Omg, speedy delivery & comfortable – This double EMMA arrived 10 hours after I purchased. OmG! Mind blown. I have another king-sized EMMA mattress, with the topper, and it is amazing. I disliked it at first, contacted EMMA who helped by sending a topper, and since then...for 11 months... I am in absolute love. I have another 4k sealy mattress at home - yet EMMA is my preferred mattress!!! Show details ·  1

Emma Mattress- The best mattress ever and most comfortable to sleep on – Emma mattress is by far the best mattress we ever come across. It is on the firm side, but does give in a little to provide great support from top to bottom to the curves of your body. In my previous mattress, I woke up with an all over sore body, especially the upper back area, but with this mattress I had the pleasure of getting off the bed… Read more ·  1

every morning feeling fresh and absolutely sore free.

We received the King size Emma mattress as part of the Ambassador program. The mattress came rolled up in a box. It required 2 people to take out the mattress. There was a plastic protective layer to protect the mattress. A small accessory was provided to carefully cut and remove the plastic.

We left the mattress for a about 24hrs to fully inflate. It came up perfect, no crease at all. It fit perfectly on our gas lift bed with slat base. This mattress thickness and weight works out great on the gas lift bed, as it is not too heavy or too thick to lift. I love the fact that this mattress has a fabric protective layer, where you can unzip to wash. With that off, you can see through the layers of foam that made up the mattress.

After using it for almost 4 weeks, firmness remains and no signs of sagging. However, we find the edges around the mattress is not firm when you sit on it, it tend to give in a little and slide you off. Maybe that is just how it is designed.

Very different to spring mattresses, this mattress does not make any noise or produce much movement of the whole bed when the other person move. Very comfortable indeed.

Since using Emma Mattress, my sleep quality has been great. I went all night undisturbed. The mattress remained cool throughout the night, so no night wake up from sweat or overheat. Wake up fresh.

Prior to receiving Emma Mattress, the customer service team informed us when to expect the arrival of the mattress and they also gave me some advice about the mattress. Their customer service is top notch.

Absolutely love this mattress! No doubt the best and the price seem reasonable compared to the other brands.

Thank you so much Emma Mattress for this chance to own and review your masterpiece creation.

Thank you.

Mattress in a box – When I received the delivery for my Emma Mattress, I was really confused. It came in a rectangular box. I have never had mattress delivered that way before. It has always been big and flat. Looking from outside of the box, I couldn’t understand how can my mattress be fitted inside this box. I have never heard of the Brand “Emma Mattress”,… Read more ·  1

however it looks like it has won multiple awards in Europe, so I was keen to try it.

Once I unpack the box, I saw the mattress has been rolled up and wrapped up in layers and layers of cling film. It reminded me one of those Vietnamese cold roll. (Unfortunately I was too eager to check out the mattress, I forgot to take a photo before I unwrap it)

Once I unwrapped the films, the whole mattress just flipped open flat. It has another plastic packaging outside the mattress to keep it clean. (See photo) I was surprised that having it rolled up, it didn’t damage the mattress. (The information brochure came with a handy cutter to assist unpacking by the way.)

I found out the mattress are made by foams with no springs inside, which makes it lighter than other mattress. The handle on the side of the mattress is very handy to move it around.

The top cover can be unzipped and throw in the washing machine, which is really handy. The zip is on the top, so there is no lifting of the mattress required to take the cover off. The cover feels nice and smooth.

The mattress feels like it is made with memory foam, but not as soft as other memory foam product that sinks right in. It has a right amount of support that is actually very comfortable to sleep on. The pressure zoning gives a good support for the shoulders especially for a side sleeper. However I still prefer a firmer mattress (this is just a personal preference)

There is not much disturbance from the other person’s movement on the other side of the mattress, which is a bonus if you are a light sleeper who got woken up easily.

Foam mattress are known to heat up and gets hot in summer, however I could not verify that as I am testing this out in winter. It actually feels quite cold to get in the bed. Perhaps it’s the special layers that it has on top, which claims to makes it breathable and keeps you cooler in summer. (This will be interesting to test it out in summer time).

I have never had a foam mattress before. The other concern I had was how well the foam mattress will hold its shape. This is obviously not something you can find out in the short term. But since it comes with 100 nights risk trial and 10-year warranty that gives me a peace of mind that Emma is confident with the quality of their mattress.

For a King size mattress comes under $1000, I think it is a great buy.

Mattress rock hard and customer service appalling – In the first instance, I accidentally ordered two mattress protectors with my King mattress (slip of the thumb) and four weeks later, I am STILL trying to return the additional mattress protector. Customer service has been incredibly unhelpful. Secondly, when the mattress arrived in it's box, the delivery driver couldn't speak a word of English… Read more

and required assistance to move the box inside because the box was damaged and the wheels on the packaging were rendered useless (the damaged end meant the mattress kept slipping out and dragging on the ground). Zero star rating for the delivery service.

Thirdly, my husband and I have been sleeping on the mattress for three weeks now - the first few nights we found it rock hard and very uncomfortable, but thought we'd give it a few more weeks before expressing an opinion. So far, our initial opinions are unchanged - rock hard.

Our other mattress (on our spare bed) is a Koala mattress and to be honest, we are beginning to think we should have just stuck with Koala - we always get rave reviews from our house guests when they sleep on it and I actually don't know why we decided to buy anything else.

Finally, the last thing I feel I should mention is that the Emma mattress is extraordinarily HEAVY - I am quite strong and regularly move furniture, but there is absolutely no way I can shift this mattress on my own - I can barely lift the corner to put the mattress protector and fitted sheet on it.

Emma customer service – I would like to say that my dealings with Emma Sleep have been excellent both with communication and customer service. Unfortunately the mattress we bought did not suit. I thought it was fine but my husband felt it was too firm. I contacted Emma sleep requesting a refund, spoke to a lovely lady named JW. She couldn’t have been more helpful. We… Read more ·  1

sent a photo of the mattress. I received an email straight away acknowledging they had received the photo. Another email followed the same day telling us the mattress will be picked up within a few days and a full refund has been deposited in to my account already. Very satisfied with the customer service! I had been concerned after reading negative reviews.

Wonderful – I have a spent over $20k on mattress in my lifetime. I have bought a mattress in a box. However after reading the reviews, I took a punt. What a return. The Diamond Mattress by Emma is by far the most comfortable mattress I've had. I consistently had the best nights sleep. Wonderful. Thank you. Show details ·  1

So great! – I was apprehensive to buy a mattress under $1000 as I associated a good mattress with an expensive price tag. I have been so pleasantly surprised! We were able to choose a day for the mattress to be delivered to our doorstep, with the mattress arriving rolled up in a box. I have been most impressed with the minimal partner disturbance, and can’t recommend an Emma mattress highly enough. Show details ·  1

Do not believe their returns policy – The absolute worst company to deal with when trying to return a mattress within their 100 day policy. For over two weeks now they have been giving me a run around. Every person I speak to is asking me the same questions. I have given them all the information and evidence they need but they are still not refunding me. Every agent seems to have… Read more

not follow up on previous conversations I already had with them. Completely useless. To be clear the mattress is in perfect condition I am simply returning as it is far too firm and gives me lower back pain.

Sorry, unable to give negative stars... disregard the single star – Ordered a matress and protector end of November 2023. Its now mid Jan 2024 and still nothing. I have had very little support from the service team, only auto generated emails repeating the same old thing. After about a month of emails back and forth, we were told by email the matress protector was on its way. I was only told this as i requested a… Read more

full refund. I then received and email stating they were waiting on stock and the matress would be sent once that stock arrived. I was amazed when i received an shipping confirmation email.... then that amazment dissapated, acording to the shipping confirmation they are sending another matress protector... i have now been trying to call them and no response over the day a total of about 10 call have been made with the same auto response. I have even tried using the online chat, but apparently " they are only sales people" and cant even get someone to get in touch with me.

Dont even bother, this company has no idea about customer service.

over 30 email back and forth 20 + phone calls that have never been answered I would suggest you go elsewhere to get your matress.

Cant give a review on the actual product as after two months i still dont have it.

Hard mattress and takes a least a month to get your money back – I got the mattress delivered within a few days of ordering but after 1 night I couldn’t sleep on it. It is very hard. Compared to sleeping duck etc it is like a rock. Tried a mattress topper but was still uncomfortable. I got onto Emma chat to organise a refund. After a few days I received instructions on what I need to do with tags etc and then I… Read more

needed to send them photos to prove there were no stain etc. after another few days they said they will ask the salvos to pick up the mattress and they will contact me in 5-7 working days. After 7 working days I rang Emma to find out what was happening. They said they would chase it up. I got a call from the Salvos that day instructing that they can pick it up in 7 weeks or I can drop it at a Salvos store. So I took the mattress to a salvos store the next day and sent an email to Emma asking for a refund to be sent. Emma confirmed the drop off of the mattress but cause I bought the mattress through a store I need to go through them. It’s been a week and I’m still waiting for the store and Emma to figure out who is getting me my refund. If I had know it was going to be this hard I would never had bought it in the first place. Moral of the story is if you request a refund under the 100 night guarantee the be prepare for the refund to be 1-2 months

Horrible Company Dont waste your time – We ordered our mattress from Emma after looking at several online reviews about the actual mattress, we should have looked at their customer service as well, which is truly atrocious. Our mattress arrived stained as per photos and submitted several emails to their Australian support address without a reply. Contacted the UK support line and were… Read more

told to contact the Australian site. Finally got a customer representative and was again told to submit another email. Supplied photos of the stained mattress and was told they would not replace the mattress until all tags were cut off and the mattress disposed, donated to charity or placed outside with a "free" sign on the mattress. Advised that because of our rural location and we lived on a private road that we could not place it out the front but would happily dispose of the mattress at our cost (Around $100). Was then asked to place the King size mattress in the recycle bin, and then to put it beside our house with a "Free" sign on it. After getting the run about disposing of the mattress asked to have the mattress returned and purchase refunded and was again told that I needed to cut the tags off the mattress and send them a photo before they could proceed. Apparently the complaint has now been escalated. If you value your time and are looking for a reputable company dont purchase from Emma
