Emma Original Mattress Construction
When you’re shopping for a mattress, you want to know how it’s constructed and how the layers work together. The Canadian Emma Original mattress is made of 5 layers that are designed to provide support, keep you cool and maximize the life of the mattress. From size to firmness, the following section gives you an overview of the construction of the mattress.
Breathable, Washable Cover
The Emma Original Mattress has a breathable top layer that you can remove and wash. Its moisture-wicking polyester and elastane foam helps regulate the temperature so that you stay comfortably cool.
Point Elastic Memory Foam
Next, a layer of memory foam conforms to the shape of your body while it sends body heat away from the mattress. Made from point elastic Airgocell, this layer balances cushioning with support. You can sink into the soft memory foam while enjoying support. This layer also adds to the breathability and temperature regulation of the mattress.
Halo Foam for Motion Isolation
The Emma Original mattress has a layer of Halo Foam that provides motion isolation as well as three zones of pressure relief. These zones support your body in the areas that need it most: your back, shoulders and hips. Plus, you won’t lose sleep if your partner keeps changing their position.

High Resiliency Extra (HRX) Foam Layer
The fourth layer is made of High Resiliency Extra (HRX) foam, which prevents sag by distributing weight over 100 points and 5 cutout areas. Designed to last for years, HRX stabilizes the mattress and takes pressure off your body. This layer is effective for motion isolation as well as firmness, and helps keep your spine aligned as you sleep.
Reinforced Edge
Finally, the bottom layer has a reinforced edge that prevents the entire mattress from sagging. It helps extend the life of the mattress by reducing sagging in the middle or on one side of the mattress.
Sizes
The ideal mattress size depends on a number of factors, such as
- Size of your bedroom.
- How much you move around when asleep.
- Do you sleep alone or with a partner?
- Do you like to stretch out when you’re in bed?
The Canadian Emma Original mattress is 10 inches thick and available in a full range of sizes:
- Twin
- Twin XL
- Full
- Queen
- King
- California King
Firmness
The Emma Original mattress has a medium firmness. It is rated 6 on the firmness scale, with 1 the softest and 10 the firmest. A medium firm mattress provides body-conforming softness while it supports your back, shoulders and pelvis. It supports a variety of sleeping positions, especially side, stomach and back.
Emma Original Mattress Canada Review: Pros and Any Drawbacks
We believe that the Canadian Emma Original mattress has many positive qualities and some minor drawbacks. Read on to find out the pros and any drawbacks to help you make an informed decision.
Stays Cool and Dry
No one wants to wake up sweaty in the middle of the night, so the breathable memory foam is a great advantage to this mattress. The top layer draws moisture away from your body and allows air circulation so that you stay cool and dry. The second layer adds to your comfort by drawing heat away from your body and your bed.
Washable Cover
Convenience is a plus, especially when it comes to cleaning your mattress. The removable, washable cover makes it easy to remove stains before they set in and keep your mattress fresh and inviting.
Motion Isolation and Support
When you share a bed with your partner, it’s important for both of you to be able to move without waking each other. You want to be able to change position or get up in the middle of the night without disturbing your partner. The HRX and Halo memory foam layers provide motion isolation throughout the night. The Emma Original mattress helps you both get a comfortable, uninterrupted sleep.
Edge Support
If you or your partner are active sleepers, you may want a mattress with sturdy edge support to prevent falling off the bed. Or maybe you need a little support when you sit up to get out of bed in the morning. The bottom layer of the Emma Original mattress has a reinforced edge to help keep the mattress in shape from one end to the other. The support makes an even surface that is great for sex as well as sleep comfort.
365-Night Trial
With so many features to consider, it can take a while to decide if a mattress is going to work for you. It can take at least 3 weeks to get used to a new mattress. In Canada, you can try the Emma Original mattress in your home for 365 nights and return it for free if you decide it’s not what you want. For most updated details, read about the 365-night trial on the company website.
Works with a Variety of Bases
We all have our favorite type of bed, and the Emma Original mattress will work on just about any mattress base. Whether it’s a slat frame, box spring or just on the floor, you can use the mattress on the clean, dry, flat surface of your choice.

Affordable
A new mattress can be a substantial purchase. It helps when the company avoids unnecessary expenses such as fancy stores and showrooms. Since the Emma Original mattress is ordered online and delivered direct from the factory, you’re not paying for extra frills. The result is a relatively affordable price for your new mattress.
Free Delivery
Waiting for furniture delivery from a store showroom can be a hassle. When you order your Emma Original mattress online in Canada, it will be shipped to your door free of charge by parcel delivery service. It arrives rolled up in vacuum sealed plastic in a 17 x 17 x 44 inch box. Read about the most updated shipping and return information on the Emma mattress Canada website.
Off-Gassing and Decompression
Your Emma Original mattress will not be ready for use immediately after you open the box. You’ll have to take the mattress out of the box a few hours before you plan to use it. The mattress will be compressed and the foam in the mattress will give off a smell when it is exposed to the air.
Place the mattress in a well-ventilated room so that it can decompress and undergo “off-gassing.” This “off-gassing” lasts a few hours and can be inconvenient while you wait for it to dissipate. Once the mattress has decompressed and finished off-gassing, it’s ready to use.
10-Year Warranty
One of the important considerations when choosing a mattress is the warranty. When making a decision, it helps to know whether a company stands by their product. The Emma Original mattress comes with a 10-year warranty on the durability and dimensional stability of the mattress core.
This warranty does not last as long as the warranties of some other companies, but it does offer some protection from product defects. Visit the Emma Canadian website for specific, up-to-date details about the mattress warranty.
Concluding Thoughts on the Emma Original Mattress
The 5-layer Emma Original mattress is an affordable option that provides support, cushioning and temperature control. It is designed to take pressure off 3 important areas: back, shoulders and hips. The memory foam lets you sink comfortably into the mattress as it promotes air circulation. The motion isolation feature is great for couples, and the edge support prevents sagging and provides support. Plus, the removable, moisture-wicking cover is conveniently machine washable.
The mattress is more afford than some others, due to its free shipping direct from the factory. You only pay for the mattress itself, not a high-end showroom.
It does have some limitations, particularly the off-gassing which dissipates after a few hours. The 10-year warranty is not as generous as other warranties. Overall, however, it is our opinion that the Emma Original mattress is a quality product and a good value for Canadians.
