Emma Sleep is one of the best mattress sellers you can choose to buy from and, as the Boxing Day sales are almost here, you can bet we're keeping a close eye on the discounts available.
In recent years, mattresses have become something akin to barbeques and road bikes – tech-driven, with branding sometimes characterised by jargon in an attempt to stand out from the crowd. Imagine the sort of stuff a stereotypical dad might like to trot out to sound impressive and you’re halfway there: “this baby boasts ten layers of UltraSleep SuperFoam, 5.5-inch half-coil pocket springs, and a CoolTech hyper breathable cover in twelve different colourways.” That sort of thing. It can be a lot to take in but, if you pay attention, it might just land you with the best night's sleep of your life. Yes, they do say that, too, but they also mean it.
Among others, Emma is one of these forward-thinking brands – one that would proudly describe itself as taking sleep to a higher level. Happily, it sells a wide variety of different bedding and bed-related products, for want of a better word, with a range that reaches beyond the best mattress, encompassing some of the best sofa beds, the best bedding and the best pillows on the market. These don’t always come cheap, so snap them up at a discount while you can…

40% off the NextGen Cooling Mattress
1/8Emma Sleep
NextGen Cooling Mattress
Taking the company's Luxe Cooling mattress (which you'll find below) and adding even more tech gives you the aptly-named NextGen Cooling Mattress. Made up of six layers, this mattress has ThermoSync tech within the top layer of foam, keeping your body the ideal temperature throughout the night. Additional layers are made up of foam that adapts to your body, a supportive foam layer for relieving pressure, and springs to support you. From

Luxe Cooling Mattress
“Deeper and cooler sleep throughout the night”, promises Emma’s Luxe cooling mattress and, according to our tester, it's spot on – a cool sleep that stems from the company’s “ThermoSync” technology, which in essence means the mattress is thermally regulated by six layers of foam (or seven if you buy the NextGen version of the Luxe cooling mattress). These layers include soft memory foam which moulds to the body, as well as temperature-regulating foam, 12cm Aeroflex pocket springs and a top cover that is resistant to moisture, breathable and easy to clean.

3/8Emma Sleep
NextGen Premium Mattress
Following on from the Original, the NextGen Premium is essentially the next Emma mattress step up; it’s (usually) about a hundred pounds more expensive, and for that money you get pocket springs to help better spread your weight across the mattress’ surface, and a seven-zone design which includes several foam layers plus a cooling one to keep your bed the right heat, all night, year-round.

4/8Emma Sleep
Flip Topper
If buying a whole new mattress isn't something you can justify, then you might consider a mattress topper. Emma's Flip Topper is 6cm thick and is designed to go (you guessed it) on top of your current mattress to improve your sleep comfort. It's both washable and flippable, and has Emma's Point Elastic Airgocell technology for breathability. From

25% off the Sofa Bed 2.0
5/8Emma Sleep
Sofa Bed 2.0
Releasing a sofa bed was a clear and natural step for Emma, whose understanding of mattresses has here been translated into a pull-out bed boasting two of them (mattresses, that is). As such the sofa bed can be used as a three-seat sofa, a chaise longue, a double bed or two singles with but a 15-second transformation – in fact, Emma describes this as “a bed that turns into a sofa”, rather than vice versa.
£1,999£1,499. At emma-sleep.co.uk20% off the Hug Weighted Blanket
6/8Emma Sleep
Weighted Blanket
If you haven't ever tried a weighted blanket, you really should treat yourself to one. Emma's is called the Hug Weighted Blanket, which is appropriate given it feels like you're getting a hug when you wrap it around your shoulders or place it over your legs. It has a soft cotton cover, two layers of quilted microfibre to lock in the glass beads within, and extra padding for comfort.
£119£95.20. At emma-sleep.co.uk30% off the Cloud Duvet
7/8Emma Sleep
Cloud Duvet
We've got this duvet and we love it. It's warm enough to keep you cosy but cool enough that you don't sweat out every night. If a sleep company is going to put ‘cloud’ in a product name then it really ought to make sure it's living up to the idea of cloud-like comfort, and this duvet really does. (Plus, it's machine washable.) From

40% off the Ottoman Bed
8/8Emma Sleep
Ottoman Bed
We did tell you Emma doesn't just do mattresses, and its Ottoman Bed shines as one of the brand's best bed frames. It comes in two colour options and lifts up to reveal 890 litres of storage space, so you can store all of your summer clothes or Christmas decorations with ease. It's also speedy to assemble and you get 200 nights to decide if it's right for you. From

It feels like only yesterday that Emma burst onto the mattress scene – if there is such a thing – alongside competitors such as Simba and Nectar. In fact, it was more than ten years ago, and Emma has become a trusted and lauded sleep brand ever since. There is a range of very good offerings when it comes to mattresses, spanning entry-level memory foam options like the Original, all the way up to the higher-end NextGen and Premium models. And then further products including the sofa bed, pillows, duvets and bedsheets all make Emma a great choice from which to buy something (or things) new for your bedroom.
Emma has periodic sales throughout the year, and it’s always worth checking whether there’s one at the website – to such an extent, in fact, that we often say it’s better to wait for a sale than buy when items are full price. Nonetheless, like other retailers, Emma also holds significant sales to coincide with the more traditional shopping seasons around Black Friday and Cyber Monday (in November), Christmas and Boxing Day, January and the spring and summer.
