Overall, I was impressed.
It’s also thick enough to totally transform the feel of your existing bed.

Emma Premium Topper review: Design
The Emma Premium Topper has a generous depth of 9cm.
Unless your current mattress is pancake thin, it will probably require the purchase of extra-deep sheets.
The cover isn’t suitable for tumble drying, bleaching or ironing.
I’d still be tempted to add one of thebest mattress protectors, for even easier cleaning.
The base is made from a textured, slightly plasticky material.
This is good news, since there are no straps or other method of attaching it to your bed.
All that, combined with the grippy base, kept the topper in place effectively.
It all felt secure, and I never once had to reposition it during the two-week test period.
I’m not sure how well it would fare just with a flat sheet, though.
It’s also very pleasing to say out loud.
There are regularEmma mattress sales, but the toppers aren’t usually discounted.
However, I’m not sure it’s worth over 400.
Some of today’sbest cheap mattressescost less than that in fact, a doubleEmma Original mattressis only slightly pricier.
The foam contours gently around the sleeper’s joints, gently cushioning and relieving pressure.
It was more comfortable when lying on my side.
Note, too, that the softness and thickness of the topper is particularly noticeable around the edges.
I found it warmed to a neutral body temperature and stayed that way.
Even with that considered, I think the cooling properties of this topper are solid.
I was surprised at how big and heavy it was.
Sometimes, foambed-in-a-boxmattresses give off an odour known asoff-gassingwhen released from their wrappings.
While harmless, it can be unpleasant.
Note that experiences can vary from person to person, even with the same product.
The trial period is generous at 100 nights.
That’s in line with the shortest full mattress trial periods.
Emma Premium Topper specs
Should I buy the Emma Premium Topper?
You could probably lie it on a concrete floor and happily sleep on it.
Generally, those positions require a medium-firm or firm feeling bed to keep the spine properly supported.
You already have a deep mattress:At 9cm thick, this is one deep topper.
It was winter during my review period, and very cold overnight temperatures dipped to -1C on occasion.
The temperature in my flat was pretty warm, however.
