Find out who came out on top in our side-by-side mattress comparison of the internationally-awarded Emma Original mattress and the Napp mattress.
With multiple international awards from independent testing agencies combined with its relatively lower prices, the Emma mattress has become synonymous with value for money the world over. But how does it compare with its New Zealand counterparts?
With over 42 years of experience in the bedding industry, the people behind Napp must surely know their stuff. But how does the Napp mattress measure up?
The Emma and Napp mattress both offer the essential characteristics one should look for in a mattress: comfort, breathability and support. However the German-made Emma mattress foam build does feature a more engineered construction with ergonomically-cut grooves in its support layer that encourages optimal pressure relief targeted to different areas of the body. In addition, its machine-washable cover with handles scores the Emma mattress extra points for the added convenience.
Overall, our opinion is that the Emma mattress still provides the better value in light of these aspects and remains the Best Overall Mattress in a Box 2020. However, if you are partial to the feel of a spring mattress the Napp mattress is nevertheless worth a shot.
