Early Verdict
The Emma Premium Pillow contains three foam inserts that offer a personalised feel.
The overall feel is one of firm, uniform support.
I was impressed with my first impressions of the cooling properties.
With all inserts inside, the loft is high I suspect too high for most situations.
Price-wise, we’re in the premium bracket here.
Read on for my full Emma Premium Pillow hands-on review.
Trials are common with mattresses but rare for pillows.
There’s also free delivery and a two-year guarantee.
On one side is grey ‘Premium ThermoSync’ foam, which is designed to be cooling.
The cover can be zipped off and washed at 60C, which is hot enough tokill dust mites.
The interior foam layers can’t be washed, but that’s standard for foam pillows.
So let’s start with the grey ThermoSync side.
I judged this to be a really firm foam.
This side was a bit too solid for my preferences.
However, I was more impressed with the temperature regulation properties.
There are lots of claims made about cooling foams, but Emma’s ThermoSync really seems to work.
The other side doesn’t have these thermoregulating properties and promises a softer feel.
It’s also springier and more responsive than the other side.
When you remove pressure, it returns to shape immediately.
With all three foam inserts in place, this is a high-loft pillow.
The fact that this pillow is easily adjustable is a win, though.
Because it’s foam, it doesn’t need re-plumping, and should provide consistent support all night.

Should you buy the Emma Premium Pillow?
That’s not the case with all foam pillows.
Something like theREM-Fit 500 Cool Gel Pillowhas more give, and you still get those cooling features.
You prefer a traditional pillow:Moulded foam isn’t for everyone.
it’s possible for you to still remove inserts to adjust the height.
