Seven layers, one feeling: weightless. The Emma Original Elite sits at the top of the Original range, built around AirGrid® — a hyper-elastic polymer layer in a honeycomb structure that does two things nothing else in the range does. It lets air pass through thousands of open channels freely, no graphite, no gel, just passive cooling that works all night. And it bounces back the moment you move, so you're never stuck or working harder to shift position.
Below it, Airgocell® foam keeps humidity moving, MemoryAdapt foam contours to your shoulders, hips and lower back, and SupportBase holds the whole structure steady. The core is a 7-zone pocket spring system covering your head, neck, shoulders, back, hips, knees and feet individually. At 27 cm tall with a medium soft feel (2/5), this is the most cushioned mattress in the range and the one most side sleepers reach for.
The cover is a step up too: 64% polyester, 36% Tencel, thicker than the standard Emma cover and noticeably softer to the touch. Fully removable and machine washable at 40°C. NBF approved. UKFR certified.
Try it for 100 nights. Not right for you? Returns are handled through Wayfair. The 10-year guarantee covers all foam and spring layers.

I bought the Emma Hybrid Airgrid Mattress through Wayfair’s online site, and overall I’m really happy with it. The hybrid design with foam and springs feels comfortable and supportive, and the Airgrid layer helps keep it cool at night. It was easy to order online, Wayfair’s checkout process is straightforward, and delivery arrived on time, which made the whole experience smooth. Wayfair generally gets good customer feedback for ease of use and delivery, though some shoppers note mixed service experiences too.. Anonymous. Thu Jan 08 2026
