What made us try the Emma mattress protector?
Our Deputy Ecommerce Editor, Annie Collyer, tried and tested this mattress topper for us, and spoiler alert: she loved it. Here's her verdict:
"I bought a basic IKEA mattress after moving out, as we all do when we are on a budget, and it's safe to say that it didn't take me long to realise it was a little harder than I thought it was when awkwardly laying on it in the shop. Obviously, I hadn't considered that show mattresses are sat on every day, several times a day so they are already broken in when you test them. Don't get me wrong: I love a firm mattress as much as the next person, but this was a tad too hard, even for a front sleeper. So, I went out to seek a mattress topper – or protector. This is when I found the Emma one, which, is technically a 2-in-1 topper and protector as it does both thanks to its cushioned top."
"There are so many reasons why this mattress protector is worth shouting about but first let me just say although it's expensive, it's more than worth it. I've had it on my bed for the past three and a bit years, and it doesn't look like it's going anywhere soon (I hope!). I also very much realise the difference when I take it off for a night to wash and dry it, and it's really easy to put on a bed thanks to the elastic around the edges – it never moves an inch once put on tightly."
"Other things I love about this mattress protector are that it's easy to wash – just throw it in your machine at 40º – and it's not noisy. By that I mean some toppers or protectors have plastic in them to protect your mattress, but when you move in the night you can hear this plastic crinkling. There's no noise, no popping off and generally just no fuss with this one."
