Cons

• May be too soft for some: The Emma Luxe Cooling mattress is a medium mattress in firmness, which means that it may be too soft for some people. If you are a stomach sleeper or a heavy sleeper, you may prefer a mattress with more firmness.

Who we Recommend the Emma Luxe Cooling for

• Hot sleepers: The graphite-infused foam in the Emma Luxe Cooling mattress helps to regulate body temperature and prevent overheating. This is a major plus for hot sleepers, as it can help you stay cool and comfortable all night.
• Side sleepers: The five body zones in the Emma Luxe Cooling mattress are designed to provide targeted support for the head, shoulders, hips, and legs. This helps to reduce pressure points and promote a more comfortable sleep for side sleepers.
• Couples: The Emma Luxe Cooling mattress is designed to isolate motion, which means that you are less likely to be disturbed by your partner's movements during the night. This is a great feature for couples who share a bed.
• People who want a luxurious mattress: The Emma Luxe Cooling mattress is made with high-quality materials and features a number of luxury amenities, such as a removable and machine-washable cover, a 200-night trial period, and a 10-year warranty.

Unboxing the Emma Luxe Cooling

Unboxing the Emma Luxe Cooling mattress is a breeze. The mattress is conveniently compressed and rolled in a box, making it easy to ship and set up. The box is also well-insulated to protect the mattress from damage during shipping. The mattress weighs between 18.5 and 40 kg, so it is recommended to have a friend help you with the unboxing process.

To set up the mattress, scan the QR code on the box to access the unboxing instructions. You will also find a helpful Emma-branded cutting tool inside the box. Simply take the box to the bed frame and remove the rolled mattress. Gently unroll the mattress and place it on the bed. Position the mattress correctly and carefully cut the plastic wrapping. The mattress will fully expand to its height of 25 cm (10 inches) in less than a minute.

The mattress has great corner expansion since the edges fluff up nicely. The mattress also has handles on the sides, which are useful for moving it around.

Additionally, the mattress does not have a strong chemical odor like other bed-in-a-box mattresses. Instead, it has a slight, non-irritating odor that dissipates within a few hours. This lack of odor contributes to the pleasant unboxing experience.

Firmness, Feel, and Comfort For Emma Luxe Cooling

Emma Luxe Cooling Firmness

Firmness is an important factor to consider when choosing a new mattress, as it can make a big difference in your comfort. On a scale of 1 (softest) to 10 (firmest), the Emma Luxe Cooling is a 5.5 (medium). This means that it is slightly softer than a medium-firm mattress, but still provides enough support for most people.

The top layer of the Emma Luxe Cooling is made with a soft, responsive foam that feels plush. However, the multiple foam layers beneath provide a firm base that supports the body and prevents it from sinking too far into the mattress. This makes the Emma Luxe Cooling a good choice for people who want a soft mattress that still provides good support.

Emma Luxe Cooling Feel

We love the Emma Luxe Cooling mattress. The plush, luxurious, and breathable comfort cover feels like a warm hug, and we love how it keeps us cool all night long. The memory foam layer molds itself to our bodies, providing targeted support and pressure relief.

We feel like we're floating on a cloud when we sleep on this mattress. As we lie longer on the mattress, it starts to feel more supportive than just soft and comfortable. The pocket springs add a bit of bounce, which gives the mattress a more responsive feel. This is something we didn't think we would like, but we actually really enjoy it.

Emma Luxe Cooling Comfort

Back sleepers, stomach sleepers, and side sleepers all have different needs when it comes to mattresses. Back sleepers typically need a medium-firm mattress to help keep their spine aligned. Stomach sleepers, on the other hand, need a firm mattress to prevent them from sinking too far into the mattress and putting pressure on their lower back. Side sleepers need a softer mattress that contours to their bodies and relieves pressure points on their hips and shoulders.

We put the Emma Luxe Cooling mattress to the test in a variety of sleeping positions. We tested it with our partners, who have different weights and sleep in different positions.

We found that the Emma Luxe Cooling mattress is a great mattress for all types of sleepers, but it excellent for side sleepers. The targeted body zones of the mattress provide pressure relief to the shoulders and hips, which can help to reduce pain and stiffness in these areas. This will be further discussed and tested in our pressure relief performance testing section.

Constructions, Materials, and Design

Materials and Design

The Emma Luxe Cooling is crafted with only the finest materials, including a soft, breathable top cover made from 99% polyester and 1% elastane. The side cover is made from 100% polyester, and the bottom cover is made from 87% polyester and 13% polypropylene. The handles are made from 100% polyester, and there are 4 vertical handles for easy maneuvering.

All Emma mattresses are put through rigorous quality assurance testing to ensure they meet the highest standards. This includes testing for durability, comfort, and support. Emma also offers a 10-year warranty on all mattresses, so you can be confident that you're making a wise investment.

Layers

1. Comfort Cover: The comfort cover is made from moisture-resistant, breathable fabric that helps regulate your temperature while you sleep. The open-pore fibers in the fabric allow air to circulate freely, keeping you cool and dry all night.
2. ThermoSync® foam: A layer that is infused with graphite particles that capture the excess heat produced by your body. This helps to keep you cool and comfortable throughout the night, even if you tend to sleep hot.
3. Halo Memory Foam™: It adapts itself to the shape of your body, providing targeted spinal alignment and ultimate pressure relief. This layer of foam helps to reduce pain and stiffness in your back, neck, and shoulders, so you can wake up feeling refreshed and pain-free.
4. Supportive Foam: The supportive foam layer provides exceptional support, promoting proper spinal alignment and reducing pressure points. This layer of foam helps to ensure that your spine is properly aligned throughout the night, so you can wake up feeling rested and refreshed.
5. 5-Zone Aeroflex pocket springs: This layer provides extra comfort and support. The springs are individually wrapped, which allows them to move independently of each other. This helps to reduce motion transfer, so you won't be disturbed when your partner moves around during the night.
6. HRX Base Foam: HRX stands for High Resiliency Extra. The HRX Base Foam is the firmest layer in the mattress. It provides sufficient counterpressure, keeping your spine evenly aligned for maximum relief, rest, and recovery in any sleeping position.

Performance of Emma Luxe Cooling

Cooling

Cooling is an important feature for mattresses to have because it can help you sleep more comfortably and avoid overheating. This is especially important for people who tend to sleep hot or who live in hot climates.

To test the cooling performance of the Emma Luxe Cooling mattress, we lay on it for 20 minutes and monitored its heat retention. In the first few minutes, we felt the cool, refreshing graphite particles working their magic. We did not feel any hot spots or areas of discomfort. After 20 minutes, we got up and felt refreshed

The mattress maintained a comfortable temperature throughout the test, with no excessive heat buildup. This is due to the mattress's patented Premium ThermoSync technology, which uses graphite particles to absorb excess body heat and distribute it away from the mattress. The top layer of the mattress is also infused with graphite particles, which helps to further regulate body temperature

Accordingly, this mattress earns a well-deserved 5/5 regarding cooling.

Responsiveness

A responsive mattress is important for ensuring you can easily move around in the bed. The Emma Luxe Cooling mattress is made with a combination of foams, including the innovative Halo Memory Foam™, which provides targeted pressure relief and body-hugging comfort. The mattress also has a layer of pocketed coils, which help to provide bounce and support.

This combination of materials makes the Emma Luxe Cooling mattress more responsive than all-foam mattresses.

To test the responsiveness of the Emma Luxe Cooling mattress, we conducted a simple but effective test. We placed a 20-pound ball on the mattress and waited for one second for the ball to settle. Then we removed the ball and watched as the mattress quickly bounced back into shape. After one second, the mattress had fully recovered its shape, leaving no trace of the ball.

This responsiveness is important for a comfortable sleep, as it allows you to move around freely without feeling stuck in place. When you roll over, the mattress will quickly adjust to your new position, so you don't have to struggle to get comfortable. This is especially important for people who sleep hot, as it helps prevent you from getting too sweaty. We gave it a 4.7/5 rating for responsiveness.

Motion Isolation

Motion isolation is important in a mattress because it can help prevent you from being disturbed by your partner's movements. If you share a bed with someone who is a light sleeper or who moves around a lot, motion isolation can be a lifesaver.

The Emma Luxe Cooling mattress is designed to provide great motion isolation, which means that you are less likely to be disturbed by your partner's movements. To test this, we placed a glass half full of water on top of the mattress and dropped a 20-pound ball on the other side.

As the 20-pound ball hit the mattress, we could hear the water in the glass barely ripple. The mattress absorbed the impact of the ball so well that the water barely moved.

We also conducted another test to see how well the mattress would isolate motion from a partner. We had one person lie on one side of the mattress while the other person rolled around on the other side. The person lying still on the other side of the mattress reported that they did not feel any movement from their partner's rolling around.

These two tests demonstrate that the Emma Luxe Cooling mattress has above-average motion isolation. This is why we gave this mattress a 4.6/5 regarding motion isolation.

Edge Support

Edge support is important for a mattress because it helps prevent the mattress from collapsing at the edges. This is important for a number of reasons, including comfort, safety, and durability.

The Emma Luxe Cooling mattress has good edge support thanks to its top memory foam layer and layer of pocketed coils. However, it could be improved with foam edging to constrain the sprung layers. Without foam edging, the springs run right to the edge of the mattress, which can make it feel less supportive when you're sitting or lying on the edge.

We tested the edge support of the Emma Luxe Cooling by applying firm pressure to the edges and monitoring for counterpressure. We felt sufficient counterpressure from the layers, and the edges did spring back into shape when we removed the pressure. However, we did notice that the mattress sank in slightly more than we would have liked when we sat on the edges.

Overall, the edge support of the Emma Luxe Cooling mattress is good, but it could be improved. This is especially true if you are a heavy or edge sleeper. Accordingly, we gave it a 4.2/5 for edge support.

Noise

A silent mattress is a dream come true for couples and light sleepers. When you're trying to sleep, the last thing you want to hear is your partner tossing and turning, or the springs in your mattress squeaking. That's why we were so impressed with the noise performance of the Emma Luxe Cooling mattress.

We conducted a noise test on the Emma Luxe Cooling by dropping a 20-pound ball onto it. We used highly sensitive microphones to listen for any squeaks or noises, but we didn't hear a thing. The Emma Luxe Cooling mattress is truly silent.

This is thanks to the mattress's combination of memory foam and pocketed coils. The memory foam absorbs movement, so it doesn't transfer noise to your partner. And the pocketed coils are individually wrapped, so they don't squeak or make other noises when you move.

As a result, the Emma Luxe Cooling is one of the quietest mattresses we've ever tested. We rated it 5/5 for noise, making it a great option for couples, light sleepers, and anyone who is sensitive to noise.

Sex

The Emma Luxe Cooling mattress is a great choice for couples who are looking for a comfortable and supportive mattress for sex.

It has a good amount of bounce, which prevents uncomfortable sinkage, and it also has good cooling properties. This means that you and your partner can move freely and easily without feeling bogged down or too hot. Additionally, the Emma Luxe Cooling is silent.

The only downside is that the mattress doesn't have the best edge support, but it's still safe enough for you and your partner.

We rated the Emma Luxe Cooling mattress 4.5/5 for sex performance.

Pressure Relief

The Emma Luxe Cooling mattress is designed to provide excellent pressure relief, especially for side sleepers. The mattress's top layer is made of a soft, breathable foam that conforms to the shape of your body, while the layers below provide support and prevent you from sinking too far into the mattress. This helps to evenly distribute your weight and reduce pressure on your shoulders and hips.

To assess how well the Emma Luxe Cooling mattress provides pressure relief, we conducted our pressure map test. In this test, we had a volunteer lie on the mattress for 20 minutes while we measured the pressure at different body pressure points.

The pressure map is a visual representation of the pressure distribution across the body. The bluer the area, the less pressure is being applied. The redder the area, the more pressure is being applied.

The pressure map below shows that the Emma Luxe Cooling has excellent pressure relief.

The Emma Luxe Cooling mattress showed excellent pressure relief in the shoulders and hips. However, there was some green building up in the back and stomach sleeping positions, especially when we tested the mattress with heavier testers. This is not uncommon for mattresses that are designed to be soft. However, even with the green building up, the pressure points in these positions were not severe enough to cause discomfort.

Overall, the Emma Luxe Cooling mattress provides excellent pressure relief for side sleepers. It is also a good choice for stomach and back sleepers, but they may prefer a firmer mattress. This is why we give this mattress a 4.8/5 for pressure relief.
