Pros of the Emma Hybrid Comfort
Great motion isolation makes it a good choice for couples
A bouncy feel makes it easy to move around on
An airy hybrid construction keeps the mattress cool
Cons of the Emma Hybrid Comfort
Too firm for side sleepers, who won’t receive adequate pressure relief on the shoulder and hip. We suggest looking at the best mattresses for side sleepers instead
Edge support didn’t impress us — you may not feel supported if you sit or lie along the edge. Some of our favorite options for edge support are in our best mattresses that won’t sag roundup
The Emma Hybrid Comfort is a firm mattress with a durable hybrid construction. It works well for heavyweight stomach and back sleepers, as it provides enough support to keep these sleepers’ spines in neutral alignment. In addition to making it a good choice for heavier people, the Emma Hybrid Comfort’s design also gives it nice breathability and responsiveness, meaning it stays cool as you sleep and is easy to move around on.
What our tester says:
“After five minutes of lying on the Emma Hybrid Comfort, it increased 7.7 degrees. This indicates good temperature regulation. I really did feel cool when resting on it. Considering this, the airy hybrid construction, and the additional cooling features, I feel that the Emma Hybrid Comfort is one of the best cooling mattresses.” – Amelia Jerden, senior staff writer
Emma Hybrid Comfort Mattress Video Review
Emma Hybrid Comfort Mattress Overview
As mentioned, the Emma Hybrid Comfort is a mattress that combines foams and sturdy coils, so customers get the best of both worlds in terms of comfort and support. Hybrid mattresses are all very versatile when it comes to overall feel, and the Emma Hybrid Comfort is no exception. It uses a high-density transition layer that keeps the sleeper lifted more “on top of” the mattress, and works in tandem with the coil layer to provide support. This gives the Emma Hybrid Comfort a firmer feel than other hybrids.
One of the Emma Hybrid Comfort’s most notable features is its zoned support. It features seven different ergonomic zones that provide firmness in the right places, without causing too much stress on sensitive areas.
Like many mattresses available for online purchase, the Emma Comfort Hybrid is a bed-in-a-box that arrives to your door compressed in a package. You might need help from a friend to unbox this one, and we recommend giving it a day or two to expand and release any off-gassing or chemical smells. Read more about off-gassing and other mattress terminology in our mattress glossary.
Emma Hybrid Comfort Mattress Sleepopolis Score
Here at Sleepopolis, we make our recommendations based on a series of tests. Combining each individual testing score, the Emma Hybrid Comfort received an overall score of 4.4 out of 5.
One of the areas where the Emma Hybrid Comfort scored a bit lower was the mattress warranty. A good mattress warranty is crucial for customers, as it protects them from defects and damages upon delivery. Additionally, it’s a reassurance of the company’s confidence in the product. Looking for a super long-lasting mattress? Check out our best mattresses that won’t sag. This article has the most durable mattresses on the market (and ones with strong edge support), with a number of them boasting outstanding warranties.
What Is the Emma Hybrid Comfort Mattress Made Of?
The Emma Hybrid mattress is a 13-inch hybrid mattress that’s constructed from cooling and supportive foam layers on top of individually wrapped coils. Let’s break down how it’s made, layer by layer.
Cover – Its cover is made from a lightweight, moisture-wicking fabric that feels soft to the touch.
Comfort Layer – The top layer comfort system is made from a combination of cooling foam and patented foam layers that are designed to absorb body heat and be temperature-regulating, evenly distribute pressure, and provide good motion isolation.
Transition Layer – This layer is made from durable HRX foam, which is high-density foam, that prevents you from sinking too far and feeling the coil layer underneath.
Support Layer – This mattress features an ergonomic system of coils in its base layer that adapt to your sleeping position to keep you supported. Additionally, its individually wrapped coils provide enhanced airflow for better heat dissipation.
Emma Hybrid Comfort Mattress Firmness
To give you a better idea of the firmness, I like to review this section with my coworkers and incorporate their opinions. We rate firmness on a scale from 1 to 10, where 1 is the softest and 10 is the firmest. We use 6.5 as the standard for medium-firm. Below is the average of our personal firmness ratings.
After testing, we came up with an average rating of 7.5 out of 10 on the firmness scale. Comparing it to the industry standard for medium firmness (6.5), this mattress is quite firm.
The first thing I noticed when I laid down on the mattress was how firm it felt. It definitely felt like I was sleeping “on” the bed rather than “in” it, thanks to the firm foam layers. It does offer a small amount of sinkage, but overall, I’d say the Emma mattress does a great job of keeping you lifted up and supported.

Sleeping Position and Body Weight
Let’s now take a look at how different types of sleepers will fare on this bed, depending on their primary sleeping position and body type.
Before we dive into our recommendations, we want to recognize that people come in all shapes and sizes, and people of every size deserve a mattress that works for their body type. We use the weight categories light, average, and heavy to more easily categorize sleepers based on how mattresses will perform for their body type, as most mattresses are designed for the group we call “average” (59 to 113 kilograms, or 130 to 250 pounds).
As a general takeaway, lighter sleepers don’t require as much support as average weight sleepers, and mattresses will tend to feel firmer to them. On the other hand, heavy sleepers tend to need more support than average weight sleepers and tend to sink into the mattress more.
As far as sleeping positions go, side sleepers tend to need a softer mattress while stomach sleepers usually need a firmer, more supportive one. Back sleepers are usually somewhere in the middle.
Is the Emma Hybrid Comfort Mattress a Good Mattress for Light Sleepers (Under 59 kilograms / 130 pounds)?
- Light Back Sleepers – The Emma Hybrid Comfort will likely feel quite firm to lightweight sleepers, since they won’t sink in as much. So, I would only recommend it to light back sleepers who love a firm feel.
- Light Side Sleepers – Likewise, lightweight side sleepers may find this mattress too firm, which may cause discomfort in the hip and shoulder areas.
- Light Stomach Sleepers – I think light stomach sleepers will sleep comfortably on this mattress, especially if they prefer extra-firm mattresses, as it will keep their hips lifted up and out of the structure.
Is the Emma Hybrid Comfort Mattress a Good Mattress for Average Weight Sleepers (59 to 113 kilograms / 130 to 250 pounds)?
- Average Weight Back Sleepers – These sleepers will likely sleep comfortably on this mattress, particularly if they like a firmer feel. With just a tiny amount of sinkage, back sleepers should easily maintain a neutral spine on this bed.
- Average Weight Side Sleepers – Side sleepers will probably feel like this mattress is too firm on their hips and shoulders.
- Average Weight Stomach Sleepers – I think this mattress has just the right amount of firmness and support to keep stomach sleepers’ hips lifted, promoting a neutral spine alignment.
Is the Emma Hybrid Comfort Mattress a Good Mattress for Heavy Sleepers (over 59 kilograms / 250 pounds)?
- Heavy Back Sleepers – Heavier people who sleep on their back should sleep well on this mattress since it’ll keep their back and hips properly aligned with their spine.
- Heavy Side Sleepers – I wouldn’t recommend the Emma Hybrid Comfort to heavy side sleepers, as it is likely too firm to offer enough pressure relief. The top foam layers aren’t very thick, so heavy folks may sink right into the coil layer, which could cause pain on pressure points.
- Heavy Stomach Sleepers – I think it’s a good match for heavier stomach sleepers since it can provide enough support for their hips and back.
Emma Hybrid Comfort Mattress Performance
A big part of what we do here at Sleepopolis is run a series of tests on each mattress we review. This helps our team of Certified Sleep Science Coaches get an objective view of what it would be like to sleep on them. These tests also allow us to make even more specific recommendations in addition to sleeping position and body type. Below, see how the Emma Hybrid Comfort performs in areas such as pain relief, motion transfer, cooling, and more.
Emma Hybrid Comfort Mattress Pain Relief Performance
When I say a mattress has good pressure relief, I mean that it sufficiently cushions pressure points on the body while resting. It’s also an effective way to measure how well a mattress will relieve pain.
To make sure I got an accurate read on the Emma Hybrid Comfort’s pressure relief, I placed a pressure map on top of the mattress and lied down on it in the side and back sleeping positions. In real time, the pressure map presents the results in a graphic created by thermal imaging. You’ll see low pressure areas recorded in blue to green and higher pressure areas recorded in yellow to red. We cover three different areas: back pain, shoulder pain, and hip pain.
Before looking at the results below, I recommend taking your sleeping position into account. For example, if you’re a back sleeper, you might not feel adequate pressure relief at the lumbar region on an extra-firm. In short, consider your sleeping position first, then look at our pressure map results.
On the left, you can see our pressure map results for side sleeping. While the pressure map results look okay for my shoulder while side sleeping, I felt a noticeable pressure buildup while lying on my side, so I wouldn’t recommend it to side sleepers. I think side sleepers with shoulder pain and hip pain will feel too much pressure buildup in this position.
On the right, you’ll see our pressure map results for back sleeping. The graphic shows promising results for back sleepers with back pain. There is essentially no pressure buildup around the back shown in the pressure map results. The supportive coils in this bed work well to maintain a neutral spine. Additionally, I didn’t really feel much pressure on my shoulders or hips when I laid down on my back, so it should be a good bed for joint pain in this position.
Motion Transfer
I pay close attention to motion transfer when I review mattresses in our lab. It’s essentially the amount of movement that travels through the mattress when it’s touched or disturbed. This is an especially important consideration if you sleep with a partner or a pet.
Our motion transfer score is curated through a series of three different tests. First, I just lie down on the mattress with a colleague, roll around, and we see how much of each other’s movement we feel. The second test is our wine glass test, wherein we place a full wine glass on the mattress surface and see how much the wine moves around with us. If the liquid has zero to little movement, then it’s a safe bet that the mattress has low motion transfer, which is what you want to see.
Lastly, there’s our seismometer test. To complete this test, we drop a 10 pound steel ball from three different heights: four inches, eight inches and 12 inches. While doing this, we measure the disturbance it causes. The bigger the lines on the graph, the bigger the disturbance and the higher the motion transfer.
Overall, I think the Emma Comfort Hybrid mattress has great motion isolation, making it a good choice for couples. Based on our tests, you’re unlikely to be disturbed if your partner gets up for a late-night bathroom trip.
Responsiveness
Hybrid mattresses with coils (such as the Emma Comfort Hybrid), as well as innersprings (like the Saatva), tend to be responsive (they have a high response to pressure). Memory foam beds usually have a low response to pressure, as the foams tend to trap movement. Responsive mattresses are usually good for sex since they make it easy to change positions and move around. These same traits make them good for combination sleepers who back sleeping to side sleeping and so on.
In our mattress lab, we test responsiveness by lying down on the mattress and switching positions on it. From this, it’s easy to determine whether or not a mattress provides an “on top of” feel that allows for ease of movement.
Based on our tess, the Emma Comfort Hybrid Mattress is very responsive, so you shouldn’t have any problems moving around on it. We found it a bit lacking in bounciness, so there’s a tiny bit of resistance. However, this isn’t detrimental to the performance, so it’s a good mattress for sex.
Cooling
When we test a mattress to find out whether or not it’s cooling, we consider its construction. Since the Emma Hybrid Comfort has a layer of coils, there’s plenty of room for air to flow through the mattress and keep it cool. Further temperature regulation comes from the gel infusion in the foam.
We also test out each mattress with a device called a thermal gun, which uses color-coded imaging to measure how much and how quickly a mattress heats up when we lie down on it. If it heats up more than 15 degrees Fahrenheit, we consider it to have poor cooling capabilities. 10 to 15 degrees indicates decent cooling, 5 to 10 degrees indicates good cooling, and less than 5 degrees indicates excellent cooling.
After five minutes of lying on the Emma Hybrid Comfort, it increased 7.7 degrees. This indicates good temperature regulation. I really did feel cool when resting on it. Considering this, the airy hybrid construction, and the additional cooling features, I feel that the Emma Hybrid Comfort is one of the best cooling mattresses.
Keep in mind that several outside factors can affect cooling, including the temperature of your bedroom, how close your bed is to an air vent or window, and your body’s own temperature, which can vary from person to person.
Edge Support
Edge support is the strength of a mattress’s perimeter. We make sure to test a mattress’s edge support to see whether or not sleepers can lie all the way on the side of their mattress and still feel supported. This should be an appealing feature for couples who like to spread out, heavier people who want to avoid premature sagging, or anyone who loves to use the entire surface of their bed.
Lying down near the edges of the Emma Hybrid Comfort, I still felt supported. However, when I sat down, there was noticeable sinkage at the edges, but I didn’t feel like I was sliding off. Overall, I’d say it has good edge support.
Emma Hybrid Comfort Mattress Performance for Couples
Based on the testing results from the above criteria, I’d say that the Emma Hybrid Comfort is a good mattress for couples. It performed well in all categories, from cooling and edge support to motion isolation and responsiveness. Most couples, especially heavier couples or those who prefer a firmer feel, should appreciate this mattress.

- I also think stomach sleepers would enjoy the Emma Hybrid Comfort since its firm foam layers provide enough comfort and support for the hips.
- This mattress is a great match for couples (including mixed-weight couples) looking for a supportive and responsive mattress with great motion isolation.
Who I don’t recommend Emma Hybrid Comfort mattress for
- I think this Emma mattress may feel too firm for most side sleepers, who may want a mattress that’s softer and has more cushioning on their sides.

Emma Hybrid Comfort Mattress Policies and FAQs
What are Emma’s shipping, sleep trial period, and limited warranty policies?
Emma provides free shipping, a 365-night trial period, and a 10-year warranty.
Is the Emma Hybrid Comfort the same mattress as the Emma CliMax?
No, they share some similarities, but the Hybrid Comfort replaced the CliMax as the newer and improved version.
Can I flip the Emma Hybrid Comfort mattress?
No, it’s designed to have comfort layers on top and support layers on the bottom, so that would defeat the purpose. We recommend rotating it 180 degrees every few months instead. It’s also a good idea to use a mattress protector to help prolong its life.
Is the Emma Hybrid Comfort mattress made in the USA?
No, Emma is based in Germany, where all of its mattresses are designed and manufactured.
What happens if I don’t like the Emma Hybrid Comfort mattress?
Emma offers a 365-night trial period, so customers can test out and check whether the mattress is a good fit for their needs. In case they feel that the mattress isn’t for them, Emma accepts free returns under certain conditions where you can get a full refund.
Emma Hybrid Comfort Mattress Vs
Since we have a better idea of what the Emma Hybrid Comfort mattress can do, let’s check out how well it stacks up to the competition. In this section, I’ll be pitting the mattress against its competitors: the Saatva Classic and Nectar Hybrid mattresses.
Emma Hybrid Comfort Mattress vs Saatva
The Saatva Classic is considered a luxury innerspring mattress, so it utilizes a coil-on-coil system and doesn’t have as many layers of foam. It regularly makes our best mattress list for innerspring beds. Alternatively, the Emma Hybrid Comfort is considered a hybrid and uses one coiled layer instead of two. In addition, the Emma Hybrid Comfort is a bed-in-a-box, while the Saatva is delivered uncompressed.
- Price: As a luxury mattress, the Saatva Classic is more expensive than the Emma Hybrid Comfort.
- Sleeping position: The Saatva comes in three different firmness levels you can choose from. The firm model would be the most similar to the Emma Hybrid Comfort’s feel. However, if you’re a side sleeper or someone looking for pressure relief, you’re likely going to prefer one of the softer Saatva models.
- Cooling: Neither mattress sleeps especially hot, but the Emma Hybrid Comfort is going to be better at cooling because it has cooling gel-infused foam, and its coils leave more room for airflow.
- Body weight: The Saatva is going to appeal to the widest range of body types, as it comes in three different firmness options.

Patty, Saatva customerEmma Hybrid Comfort Mattress vs Nectar Hybrid
Both the Emma Hybrid Comfort and Nectar Hybrid are, not surprisingly, hybrid beds that combine cushioning foams and sturdy coils. Where the primary differences lie are in the level of support and firmness each mattress offers. The Emma Hybrid Comfort is notoriously a firmer, and arguably more supportive, bed. This isn’t necessarily better; it all depends on your preferred sleeping position and body type.
- Price: The Nectar Classic Hybrid is also a budget-friendly option. It’s a step up from the original Nectar foam mattress, which has more of a memory foam mattress feel. Whether the Nectar Classic Hybrid is more expensive usually depends on the different deals each company provides at the time.
- Sleeping position: The Nectar Classic Hybrid has a softer feel and will offer more contouring than the Emma Hybrid Comfort Mattress. So, it’ll be better for side sleepers and those with joint pain.
- Cooling: Both of these mattresses include cooling materials and breathable coils, so they should both work well for hot sleepers.
- Body weight: The Emma Hybrid Comfort has stronger edge support than the Nectar Hybrid. It’s also firmer and built for sleepers of a heavier weight.

Before we bring the review to a close, let’s check out how well the Hybrid Comfort compares to its siblings. Emma also offers sleep products, like bed frames and pillows.
Emma Hybrid Comfort Mattress vs Emma Mattress
The Emma original mattress has an all-foam construction, while the Emma Hybrid Comfort is a hybrid, utilizing both foams and coils.
- Price: The addition of coils in the Emma Hybrid Comfort mattress makes it a pricier bed.
- Sleeping position: Both back, stomach, and combination sleepers should be comfortable on these beds.
- Cooling: The coils in the Emma Hybrid Comfort should allow for more breathability than the original model offers.
- Body weight: The Emma Hybrid Comfort is better suited for sleepers heavier than 250 pounds (113 kilograms), while the original Emma mattress struggles a bit in this area.

Our Review Process
At Sleepopolis, our team of Certified Sleep Science Coaches personally test each mattress. We start by unboxing the mattress to figure out how difficult (or easy) it is to get the mattress from the box to the bed. Then, we spend time laying on the bed in different positions, taking time to assess it on our backs, stomachs, and sides. Next, we perform our Sleepopolis tests, using specialized tools to measure qualities like motion transfer, bounce, and pressure relief. Our last step is to open up the mattress and take a look at each layer. These steps allow us to give our final verdict on the mattress.
