We were intrigued by the description of the Airgocell layer that promises to make the mattress more “breathable”. Foam mattress are notoriously known for retaining heat, making the mattress hot and can be extremely uncomfortable during the Summer. The fact that Which?, a UK Consumers’ Association awarded the mattress an 4/5 in the breathability category made us wanted to do our own test as well. Hence, we tested it for a week in summer where it was fairly hot. We did not have the air conditioning on, just the fan and with the windows open as we would normally sleep.
One thing that concerns most people living in Hong Kong is the size of their furniture. The narrow lifts and back alleys of our housing estates make it difficult to transport big sized furniture to our homes. Emma, however, showed up at our office in a nice dark blue compact box. It was also light enough to be carried around. Although it does not have wheels attachment at the bottom of the box like some of its competitor, there is at least some form of cuts at the side of the box. These cut out makes it easy to drag the box around.
During the test, the testers did not feel their bodies sweating throughout the night, probably due to the claimed breathable AeroFoam technology of their mattresses. As many memory foam mattresses would cause the testers to be enveloped in sweat during the experiment, they were not enveloped in sweat during the test, which was quite a surprise to the testers.

One thing that is extremely important for us is to test the mattress for motion transfer. It refers to the amount of disturbance you will likely feel if someone’s moving beside you. This is especially crucial for those who are sharing your bed with a partner, have kids in your bed or even your favorite pet sleeping with you!
When buying a new mattress, one question that comes to people’s mind is whether the mattress have a soft, sinking “into” feel or a firmer, lying “on top” of it feel. For most people, this also relates to the firmness of the mattress. Based on Emma’s website, the mattress firmness level stands at 8 (Medium-firm). We find this claim pretty accurate. However, for people who prefer a hard mattress, Emma mattress may not be for you.
The mattress cover has anti-mites property! It claims that the cover is treated with Purotex® technology and it can help increase protection against dust mite allergies up to 89.3%. We did a quick research on this technology and it appeared to be the only natural remedy against dust mite in the world as it relies on 100% natural probiotics to fight against dirt and dust mites. This is a plus point for those who suffers from dust-mite allergies. As the best way forth to get protected is still protecting your mattress with an anti-mites mattress cover from the very first day. Washing your mattress cover and bed sheets regularly is also an important step to reduce allergens.
