The Emma Hybrid Cooling Elite is a 14-inch hybrid mattress designed for comfort, support, and cooling. It features poly foam, memory foam, pocketed coils, and a support foam base, with a medium-firm feel suitable for all sleeping positions. The mattress excels in cooling, motion transfer, edge support, and bounce, making it ideal for couples and active sleepers. It has a fast response time and provides effective pressure relief. However, it has a longer off-gassing period and minimal sinkage, which may not suit everyone. The mattress comes with a 365-night trial, a 10-year warranty, and is competitively priced.
