'I changed the way I sleep for a week - it's made me wonder why I waited so long'

Getting a good night's sleep depends on a variety of factors - from pillows and sleepwear to essential oils, meditations (to calm that racing mind) and the overall feng shui of a room. But one thing that is vital when it comes to catching those much needed Zs is a decent mattress to suit your sleep needs - even better if it's on sale. One brand that is constantly hailed as helping to vastly improve sleep is Emma - and I can attest this as someone whose 40 winks has been wildly transformed since bagging myself the Emma Original Mattress.

After years of restless slumber from a combination of a whirring mind at night and an uncomfortable, sinking spring mattress (that was 10 years old), my partner and I treated ourselves to the currently discounted Emma Original Hybrid Mattress and after experiencing its cloud-like comfort and memory foam wonder - that is just firm enough for us - it's safe to say we are never going back.

Crafted with Halo Memory Foam as well as High Resiliency Extra foam layer, the mattress ensures supports for your entire body and targets pressure relief, which has been a godsend when either one of us has a bad back (it's firm - for correct spinal alignment - but cushiony). Alongside this, the Airgocell makeup, which enhances airflow, is perfect for those who struggle to regulate heat at night (either from naturally being a human radiator or, at certain times of the month, experience hot flushes).
