‘After months of back pain my husband is finally getting a good night’s sleep,’ raved one shopper about Emma’s mattress
Few things set you up better than a good night’s sleep – but with all of life’s stresses, it can often be a hard thing to achieve. And if you’ve tried everything from cutting off screentime before bed to magnesium supplements but still find a good sleep elusive, it’s a good idea to look at your setup.
If you can’t remember the last time you changed your mattress, topper or pillows, you’re in luck because Emma – a company known for its cult mattresses – has an up to 50% off sale starting on November 3. If your bedroom needs a complete overhaul, you could do a lot worse than the Emma Elite Black Friday Deal, which sets you up for sleep success.
With 50% off its full price, you get a premium microfibre pillow, a mattress protector and a four-season duvet, which is handily customisable depending on the temperature. If you’re the kind of person who gets hot and bothered at night, this is the deal for you, as the breathable materials should keep you nice and cool while you sleep.

Or if it’s your mattress you’d really like to change, the Luxe Cooling Mattress has 40% off – taking it from £759 down to £455.40. This is pretty much as high-tech as you can get, with Emma’s ThermoSync technology helping keep you at the ideal temperature at night – plus, it absorbs any tossing and turning, so you don’t have as disrupted sleep. The mattress has 4.5 stars from 41 customer reviews, with one shopper raving: “After months of back pain my husband is finally getting a good night’s sleep.”
If you don’t get overly hot at night, the NextGen Premium Mattress is a great all-round option – and it’s 30% off, with its price now down to £314.30. If you’ve been sleeping on a lumpy, bumpy mattress, this is sure to be a gamechanger – it’s divided into seven clever zones, designed to support your whole body.
Plus, Emma’s Infinity Spring technology makes sure it’s as comfortable as possible – and 81 reviewers awarded it 4.3 stars on the site. “Bought this as it was recommended by a friend who had one. I wish I bought it years ago! I have fibromyalgia and arthritis in my back this mattress is amazing it’s really helped sleep and waking up with milder back pain. Would definitely recommend to people to buy,” wrote one shopper.
Or maybe you’re after pillows – which are surely the key to catching some properly relaxing Z’s. As you can probably imagine, Emma has plenty of options – if you like softness when you sleep, the Microfibre Pillow Bundle is a must. With 45% off, taking its price down to £82.50, you get two microfibre pillows and two 100% cotton sateen pillowcases.
If you need full neck support when you sleep, a brilliant alternative is the Original Pillow Bundle, which comes with two memory foam pillows and two cotton sateen pillowcases. In the Black Friday sale, that bundle is reduced by 35%, from £150 from £97.50.
And, of course, there are all the accessories to go with it – like the Premium Topper, a 9cm thick mattress topper that helps regulate your temperature as well as make your mattress extra comfortable. Normally priced at £329, thanks to 40% off you can grab it for a reasonable £197.40.
This topper has 4.8 stars on the website from 17 reviews, with one shopper writing: “I’ve been using this topper for a couple of months now and am very happy with it. I sleep on my front, back and side at times and this topper is comfortable in any position.”
And finally, no bedroom setup is complete without a duvet – and Emma’s 4-Seasons Duvet is 40% off, taking the price of a single from £159 down to £86.40. With an adjustable level of warmth to take you through the whole year, this duvet is machine washable so you can get it fresh for years to come.
While customers rave about Emma’s products overall, some shoppers had some more critical notes to share. Of the Cooling Mattress, one wrote that it “took over 6 weeks to reach the depth where I was happy with it. Still hasn’t fully expanded at the corners.” Another said of the Premium Topper, “Our one gripe is there are not tabs/elasticated traps to hold it in place.”
If you do want to shop around, there are plenty of brands to choose from. Simba is another big name to peruse, with its bestselling Hybrid Pillow promising full support at £92.65 for one, down from £109. If you’re in the market for a mattress, Dreams has a sale on – and the Workshop Follows Traditional Spring Mattress is down from £349 to £169.
