Emma mattress sales and deals can save you a welcome amount on a new bed, and we'll let you know all about the latest deals right here. Right now the Emma Summer Sale can get you up to 55% off selected mattresses, bed frames, bedding and bundles.
It gets better than that, though. Emma has just started clearing its stock of the Emma Premium, and while most sizes are reduced by 55% (which isn't a bad discount at all), the double and king sizes are down by 75% while stocks last. That means you can have a double for just £274.75, and a king size for £324.75. They're both cheaper than the single (reduced to £359.55 right now), and for that price you'd be daft not to; see our Emma Premium mattress review to learn what makes this one such a good buy.
There are also discounts on mattress bundles, bedroom sets, beds and bedding, including price reductions on Emma's Flip Topper, Premium Microfibre pillow and Cloud duvet.
Emma makes some of the best mattresses around, and our Emma Mattress review can give you an idea of what makes them so good. They come with a 10-year guarantee and a 200-night risk-free trial, so if you change your mind, Emma will refund your money and collect the mattress. Read on for a closer look at the best Emma mattress sales and deals live right now.
Emma mattress sales 2023: what you need to know
On the hunt for a comfy memory foam mattress that suits all sleepers? Or are you a side sleeper looking for more cushioning around your hips, shoulders and knees? Either way, the three-layer Emma Original is an excellent choice.
It contours to your body, hugging your curves and relieving pressure across key impact points (back, shoulders and hips). It sleeps a little warmer than the Emma Premium hybrid, so those who tend to sleep hot might want to consider upgrading.
We recommend the Original to all sleepers, including couples who have different bedtime schedules. That’s because the Emma has great motion isolation, so you won’t disturb each other with your movements. Fortunately, you can find it discounted on its own or part of a bundle among Emma mattress deals.
If you are heavier in weight and are looking for something firmer, the medium-firm Emma Premium hybrid is a good choice for you. This is cooler than the Original, as air flows better around the springs inside, while the Airgocell foam is designed to be more breathable. This foam is in the Original too.
In between these two options is the Emma Hybrid, combining three foam layers (including Airgocell foam) with a 2.5cm layer of mini pocket springs delivering breathability and support. Emma also has a generous 200-night risk-free trial and a 10-year guarantee.
Which Emma mattress should I choose?
There are three mattresses in the Emma UK range: the Emma Original, the Emma Hybrid and the Emma Premium. All three are 25cm thick and deliver a medium-firm level of comfort. However, the Emma Original Mattress is made of foam and memory foam, while the Emma Hybrid and Emma Premium Mattress are made of memory foam and springs.
Memory foam mattresses are particularly good at relieving pressure, making them ideal for people with back and joint problems. And they also allow for minimal motion transfer, meaning you won't be kept awake by your partner tossing and turning. As for hybrids, they tend to provide more bounce and better edge support, the latter making it easier to sit on the side of the bed to get dressed.
If you live in the US, you also have two Emma mattresses: the Emma Original US and the Emma CliMax Hybrid. The latter is a premium, foam and spring mattress geared towards plus-sized sleepers and couples. It can support up to 1,000 lbs. Released in autumn 2022, it appears to have replaced the Emma ACT (Active Cooling Technology) Hybrid.
According to Emma, the Original mattress came about after the brand's owner struggled to find a mattress that he liked. Designed “in painstaking detail” by Emma's in-house sleep experts, the Original Mattress has gone on to become one of the UK's best-sellers.
Featuring a layer of Halo Memory Foam that adapts to your body shape for optimal spinal alignment, a layer of Emma's own temperature-regulating Point Elastic Airgocell foam, plus a generous chunk of HRX Supreme Foam to help distribute your body weight and relieve aches and pains, the Emma Original Mattress could be just what you need for a perfect night's rest.
UK prices for the Emma Original Mattress range from £499 to £899 when not on sale, but right now you can buy a single for just £249.50 and a double size for £349.50 (was £699). While Emma regularly offers discounts on its boxed mattresses, this 50% saving is the best we've seen since Black Friday and Cyber Monday. We doubt the prices will get lower or the deals better beyond this, so if you want the cheapest Emma mattress for the cheapest price, jump on this before the Boxing Day sale ends on 31 Dec.
The Emma Hybrid occupies a weird and complicated position in the Emma pantheon; despite what the Emma Original might have you think, the first actual Emma mattress was a hybrid much like this. However after the subsequent memory foam Original became a huge success, Emma retired the Hybrid. Then Emma launched the Emma Premium (which was originally called the Emma Hybrid Original), and now Emma's brought back the Emma Hybrid, which has a similar build to the original Hybrid. Confused? So are we.
All you need to know is that this one's Emma's cheaper hybrid option, and its construction is a lot like the Emma Original, with the addition of a layer of mini pocket springs. It's a relatively soft hybrid option, making it a good choice for side sleepers, although its single thin layer of springs doesn't really give it the bounce that you'd expect from a hybrid mattress.
At RRP the Emma Hybrid's at the cheaper end of the hybrid scale; a Single is priced at £653 while a double will cost you £607. However we'd advise waiting for the Emma Hybrid to be included in a sale, which it isn't at the time of writing; given Emma's usual discount, this should bring the price down by about half, making it every good value indeed.
Formerly known as the Emma Original Hybrid, the Emma Premium offers four foam and memory foam layers that work together to deliver good support for the spine, shoulders and hips.
There's also enhanced breathability to keep you cool throughout the night, plus a layer of Emma's patented 5 Zone CarbonFlex technology. With each zone containing hundreds of titanium coil springs, this is as close to personalised support as you'll get with an Emma mattress.
Prices for the Emma Premium Mattress range from £749 to £1,319, but in the Emma Boxing Day sale a single costs £374.50, while a double size is priced £499.50 (was £999), while a super king is priced £659.50 (was £1,319.
As previously mentioned, the sale prior to this one saw the price of the Emma Premium reduced by 40%, so this new 50% saving is the best we've seen since Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
Emma Black Friday deals and sales: what you need to know
The Black Friday mattress deals typically deliver the lowest prices of the year (in the US, they roll over into the Cyber Monday mattress deals, but that's not such a thing in the UK). So what did we see in the Emma Black Friday sales 2022? Emma was one of the very first to pull the trigger with a Black Friday branded sale – the Halloween Black Friday Special deal went live over the final weekend of October. It continued with various different Black Friday sales throughout the course of November, and over Black Friday itself, through into the first half of December.
In reality, throughout this period the pricing of the Original remained exactly the same as it had been since at least the summer, with 50% off all sizes (double: £379.50). The deal on the Premium was better. We typically see perhaps 50% off, but Emma bumped this up to 55% off in November (double: £494.55).
So how does this compare to previous years? Because the ticket prices of Emma mattresses fluctuate, it's important to look at the pricing as well as the percentage discount.
Last year, the official Black Friday sale started on in the UK on 12 November, with 45% off both the Emma Original and the Emma Premium. Unusually, in the weekend between Black Friday and Cyber Monday, the brand increased the discount to 50% off. The year before (2020), there was 35% off sitewide at Emma UK (price matched at John Lewis), and a 3-month Headspace subscription was bundled in with mattress purchases if you bought direct from the brand.
