Emma vs Nectar mattress: priceīefore we start on the price section, it's worth noting that RRP on both of these mattresses changes relatively regularly, and also that there are so many sales that you should never need to pay full price. That said, if you don’t tend to sleep hot, other factors might be more important, and if you prefer a mattress with a little more bounce, then the Emma mattress is probably a better pick. However, the Nectar Memory Foam mattress just edges the Emma Original on the cooling front. For those of average or light build, we’d recommend the Nectar for back or front sleepers, while side sleepers and combination sleepers should opt for the Emma.īoth mattress offer a comfortable and supportive sleeping experience. For this reason, the Nectar mattress is probably the best choice for people with a heavier build. Nectar says its mattress can hold up to 46 stone (292kg) whereas the Emma mattress holds up to 40 stone (260kg). However, the Nectar’s combination of an adaptive cooling cover and smart memory foam works best out of the two in keeping sleepers cool at night. Both have covers are designed to wick away moisture, and are constructed in a way that’s designed to promote cooling air flow, using proprietary technologies. However, the difference in construction means there’s a little more ‘bounce’ to the Emma, while the Nectar has has a slightly softer top layer that provides slightly more ‘give’.īoth mattresses do a lot to avoid the problem that has traditionally bedevilled foam mattress: overheating. The Nectar is slightly firmer we’d describe it as a 7, compared to the Emma, which we’d call a 6.5. The Emma and the Nectar mattress both offer a medium-firm level of firmness. Emma vs Nectar mattress: comfort and firmness But this point of difference makes Nectar the winner in a very close contest.

If Emma’s cover hadn’t been machine-washable, we’d have had to declare a draw in terms of the construction of the two mattresses. The Emma cover is the only one of the two that's removable and machine washable a clear benefit for anyone with a busy life who doesn’t want to spot clean their mattress cover. With that in mind, the other main consideration is the cover. It just depends on how much you prefer a memory foam feel (which some people find “cradling” and others “sinking”).

However, that doesn’t make either mattress “better” in any objective sense. The main difference between the two mattresses in terms of construction is the greater amount of memory foam in the Nectar: 9cm compared with just 2cm in the Emma Original. The Nectar’s cover has also been designed to promote cooling, using the brand’s proprietary Adaptive cooling technology. Below that is a base layer of firmer foam to stabilise and support the mattress, which is divided into seven zones. The top layer of viscoelastic memory foam is soft and cradling, while the second layer of transition memory foam provides extra pressure relief. The Nectar Memory Foam mattress is also 25cm and based on foam layers and a polyester cover.
