Emma is a great brand and they have recently developed a wider range of products. In this Emma pillow review, I will talk about their new memory foam pillow and whether it’s worth your money.
Emma is a German brand that is very popular in the UK. They design their products in Germany but they manufacture them here in the UK. This pillow is made with memory foam and it comes with an adjustable height. Using the right pillow is critical for a good sleep so I was really keen to try this out. It arrived in a nice carton box two weeks ago, so it’s time now to move to the full review below.
Materials & Construction
Emma decided to make a pillow that is adjustable in height. This is not unheard and it’s something I have seen from other makers too. This modular pillow has three internal layers in total. The top one is an airgocell foam layer which is their signature material. It provides your neck and head with the needed support and comfort. The middle layer is a cold foam one. It’s there to build up the needed counterpressure for maximum support. This layer is removable and allows you to adjust the height accordingly.
At the bottom, there is a visco-elastic memory foam layer which provides your neck with the needed pressure relief. All these materials are of the highest quality and Emma did a really good job here.
Pillow Cover
The cover of the Emma pillow is a very pretty one. It features small pores that make it more breathable and it comes in a white colour. On the edges, there is a grey line that separates the two sides.
It’s made of 98% polyester and 2% elastane. They chose this blend as it has a number of properties. Polyester is very breathable which is needed for the pillow to stay cool during the night. Elastane is essential when you build a modular pillow. It actually allows the cover to stay in place regardless of how many layers you use. The cover can be removed and you can machine wash it at a low temperature. Overall, Emma did a good job here so no complaints.
Comfort & Support
As I have already mentioned above, the Emma pillow is a modular one. That means that depending on your sleeping position, you can adjust the height of the pillow. To do so you can just remove or add a layer. I also think that the thickness of the pillow should be adjusted according to our sleeping habits. I enjoy sleeping on my back so I usually like a thicker pillow but not a really thick one. During the past two weeks, I have mostly used the two and three-layer combinations. I found the one-layer set-up to be good for stomach sleepers only.
The Emma pillow performed very well in all positions and I felt that I got the right amount of support and comfort. My head and neck felt good every morning and overall I found the pillow to be performing well. The only thing I didn’t like that much is the fact that if you use only one layer then the cover feels a bit too big for its filling. With the two or three layers, this is not a problem. The pillow measures 40 x 70cm so you should expect a standard size. Overall, I think Emma managed to create a really good modular pillow.
Verdict
It’s time to complete this Emma pillow review and share my final thoughts about it. Emma managed to create a modular pillow that is functional and made with high-quality materials. It comes at a fair price (£79) with free delivery and a 30-night trial period! This is an excellent service by Emma, so if you are looking for a modular pillow that allows you to customise it to your needs, then this one should be high on your list.
