Emma Original Mattress Review
Emma Sleep was founded in Frankfurt, Germany in 2015 with the aim of delivering a better sleep experience at a fair price. Since its inception, Emma Sleep has expanded significantly and enjoys international success selling its mattresses and other sleep accessories in over 23 countries across 5 continents.

It has received numerous awards in the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Portugal and the Netherlands and endorsements from reputable agencies and publications such as Which?, Good Housekeeping, The Independent and T3.
