What material is Emma Original Mattress made of?
Emma Original Mattress is made of high-quality premium materials and fabrics that have proven themselves over time. The most modern technologies and innovations are used in its production. They have all passed a series of strict quality assurance tests.
The core of the model is made of HRX, which stands for High Resiliency Extra, a high-quality foam that can withstand high loads. 5 adaptive cut-outs zone correctly distributes the weight of the body correctly in the longitudinal direction and provides good orthopedic support.
Halo Memory Foam. Innovative memory foam that gently adapts to the body to keep the spine in proper shape. It also significantly relieves muscles and joints during sleep.
Point Elastic Airgocell®
Our groundbreaking Point Elastic Airgocell® technology enhances breathability and regulates temperature by absorbing and then evaporating sweat – so rising temperatures won’t have you disturb your nights.
Emma UltraDry Original Cover. The award-winning Emma UltraDry breathable cover is both refreshing and practical. This temperature-regulating cover is moisture-wicking, easily removable, and washable.
Materials used in the cover:

How firm is Emma Original Mattress?
The mattress is comfortable with good support for the back, neck, and pelvis. It has a medium firmness level. The model is suitable for all sleeping positions. It may feel too soft for heavy back and stomach sleepers.
How does it feel?
The mattress feels very comfortable thanks to the cushioning layers of memory foam and Point Elastic Airgocell®, but despite its softness, it feels very supportive thanks to its zoned core of highly elastic foam. If we had to describe it in two words: comfortable and healthy. The innovative foam helps regulate body temperature and prevents excessive sweating during sleep. We should note that it might feel too soft for people over 230 pounds.
Is it suitable for any bed?
According to the manufacturer, the Emma Original Mattress is suitable for any bed base. However, keep in mind that a base can slightly change the feel of the mattress. With a hard bed bases, most mattresses feel slightly firmer than specified by the manufacturer. With this model, the difference is barely noticeable, and we agree with the manufacturer’s statement.
Does it have a removable cover?
One of the pros we mentioned in the introduction to Emma Original Mattress is that it has a removable cover. You can very quickly and easily remove the mattress cover and wash it. This is a big plus for the hygiene that you can easily maintain in your bed. Of course, it is recommended to use a mattress protector. Using a mattress protector can significantly extend the life of your new mattress. Mattress Cleaning – 8 tips for Mattress Cleaning
