The Emma Hybrid Cooling Elite is a 14-inch hybrid mattress that combines poly foam, memory foam, pocketed coils, and a support foam base to offer a medium-firm feel. It excels in cooling, motion transfer, response time, edge support, sex performance, and pressure relief, making it suitable for various sleeping positions and body weights. The mattress features a breathable knit fabric cover and is competitively priced at $929 for a queen size. It comes with a 365-night trial period and a 10-year warranty. However, it has a slightly longer off-gassing period and minimal sinkage, which may not appeal to everyone.
