The slatted base encourages optimal airflow as heat can disperse easily between the gaps of the slats. I dropped a 6kg weight from roughly 5 inches above the mattress and roughly 25 inches away from the wine glass, and then again getting nearer in increments each time until it was approximately 5 inches away. I was impressed at how little the wine glass moved in all drop tests. The Emma bed is easy to assemble and you will probably need 30-40min to complete it. Make sure you have some help so definitely ask a friend to come and help you. The bed will be delivered in 3 separate boxes and it comes with a step-by-step instruction booklet included. In my experience, this bed was easier to assemble than an IKEA frame and that is quite impressive. Overall, this is a high-quality bed and Emma did a great job here. Design
This helps to keep you cool and encourages your mattress to last as long as possible by controlling moisture and preventing sagging. The next most expensive model is the Luxe Cooling (read our Emma Luxe Cooling mattress review). That's the firmest option in the lineup, although still only medium in terms of firmness. The springs are shorter than on the Premium, and there are specialist foams geared towards cooling. The bed frame you need for your Emma mattress depends on the mattress material and your firmness preference.We think this bed frame would look great in smaller spaces, as the less bulky frame will encourage the space to look larger and less cluttered.
I found this mattress to be cosy and comfortable from the first night. I'm 5ft 2in and weigh 50kg, and I found it especially supportive for side sleeping. I felt some very slight pressure at the hips when sleeping on my side – a common experience among people with a lighter body weight – but certainly not enough for it to be painful. The weak edge support became more pronounced during co-sleeping. If you're set on the Emma Original, I'd recommend those who share a bed to invest in a larger size, especially if both of you are of an average to heavier weight and like to spread out when sleeping. So yes, it's a pricier frame. Emma Sleep runs regular, generous discounts but this bed isn't on offer as part of its current sale. Nonetheless, it's got credentials to justify the cost – it's made from FSC-certified timber, there's a two-year guarantee and a 200 night trial, and its natural oak finish is understated and classic. It's also worth flagging that the Emma Original is available in a good range of sizes. There's all the usual UK sizes, as well as a small double, and there are also EU sizes. ore size availability with the Emma Original compared to the competitor models mentioned above, as Emma Sleep also offers EU sizes in addition to standard mattress sizes. These include an EU single, an EU double and an EU queen. The Emma Original is a 25cm tall, all-foam mattress with two different cover options. Let's take a look at what's going on inside. The uppermost foam layer is referred to as 'Point Elastic Airgocell' foam, and its main purpose is to help with temperature regulation. Beneath that you'll find a tier of memory foam, which molds to the sleeper's body shape and hugs the joints.

This is because excess heat that builds up inside the mattress can easily disperse between the slats. Furthermore, according to Emma, the slatted frame promotes spinal alignment and evenly distributes your weight for an undisturbed night of rest.
One note? I've now tried two Emma frames. The wooden option is a better aesthetic match for my room than the Signature Bed, but the Signature's slats are far more supportive to sleep on. They're stronger and springier, each attached individually to the frame, rather than stretched over the base with strings.

The Emma Signature Bed has a soft and effortless appeal, with an estimated assembly time of only 30 minutes. You weigh above average:The medium sleep feel will be a little too soft for heavier bodies, and you may find the all-foam design starts to sag sooner than you'd like, too. Something sturdier, like the Panda Hybrid Bamboo mattress, will provide better support.
However, you should ensure your slats are no wider than 7 cm (2.8 inches) so that memory foam doesn't sink between the gaps. On my Emma Original review model, I tested the standard cover. This is made from soft-touch fabric, and is hypoallergenic and breathable. It can be zipped off and cleaned in the washing machine. We recommend ottoman beds for occasional-use items, such as winter bedding, spare towels, or suitcases so you don't have to lift the bed up every day. On the other hand, the Emma Divan bed is flush with the side of the mattress, so it won't take up any additional space around the edge.

Overall, I love this frame for my Bohemian-ish bedroom. After a year of use, it still looks and feels as good as new. It's very sturdy, doesn't creak, goes well with my rattan-front bedside tables and looks lovely styled with some rumply linen bedding and a cosy throw. One area of performance where the Emma Original fell short was on edge support. I felt definite sloping when sitting on the edge of the bed, which increased for the heavier testers on my review panel. I also placed a 20kg near the edge of the Emma Mattress and this created noticeable sloping too. The advantage of divan beds with a memory foam mattress is that they generally create a sturdier and more supported feel, whilst slatted frames can feel noticeably softer. We recommend this to those looking for a bed frame that has a beautiful design to create a relaxing environment in your bedroom. This eco-friendly bed has been crafted with FSC-certified materials that encourage sustainable manufacturing.
