New mattress- eve, simba or Emma?

[Tattted]

Anyone have any experience of the mattresses above? I need a new one but not sure which one to go with, are they worth the money? Thanks

I hate our emma mattress, it sags and dips. Absolute waste of money.

[RoseOud]

We had an Eve mattress. Great at first, but then after about a year, it developed dips in it which made for an uncomfortable nights sleep.
I was also stupid enough to purchase two Eve pillows because they gave me a special offer. They are like bricks. I do still use them when sitting in bed for support, but once lying down, they're on the floor.
I went back to a spring mattress.
Never again!

Hi, which IKEA mattress did you get? Tha6

[Sodoi]

Whatever you do don’t buy an Eve. Bloody awful mattress and therefore replaced it within 18 months.

Recently stayed at my friends house who has a memory foam / spring mattress and she said it was £215 from IKEA. It was so comfortable! It was like the Eve but much better!!

[Woodlandarchitect]

We have the Eve and bought it 5 years ago. It was perfect to begin with but it hasn’t lasted long at all. It’s awful.

I contacted them and they were rubbish. The worst customer service ever.

If you buy an Eve be prepared to replace it in a few years!

I found the Emma too thin and returned it
We have simba and casper and still love them several years later

[000YourMum000]

I would recommend getting an Otty if you like your mattress very firm/are overweight.

[Haus1234]

We have very comfortable Leesas on our main bed and the spare room bed, but I don’t believe they are still trading in the UK unfortunately. I have heard they are all pretty similar realistically.

I found Simba too hard so returned it and got an Emma which I’m really happy with. Emma sent me an extra layer of softness which fits inside that you can request for free if you aren’t completely comfortable initially. They also offer one for those who find the basic mattress too soft.

[ModerationInEverything]

We have an Emma. It was super comfortable for the first 12 months, now it's ok but has settled in hollows where each person sleeps and has almost a lump between us. It's like a bolster in the middle! I would not recommend it, or buy another memory foam mattress

[LimpLettice]

To add in another option, we got a Mammoth about 4 years ago and love it so much. It's a hybrid pocket spring / foam mattress and insanely comfortable. We got it in the middle of a boiling hot summer while I was heavily pregnant - it supports us at vastly different weights, not hot, not cold in winter. We couldn't agree between soft / firm before - this is somehow both and the top unzips and fits in the washing machine as well. When it dies it will 100% be replaced by their latest version.

[NotMyDayJob]

We have an eve and liked it so much we splashed out for the spare room. It's really comfy

[coldsandinsleepingbags]

I got Emma first but returned as found it made me really hot. Also started getting some backache after first night. Gave it 3 weeks as people say you need time to adjust, but found no improvement and didn't want to keep persevering with achy back any longer! Got Simba and have found it great.

Have had both an Emma then simba, didn't like either both returned and spent the extra on a tempur, took a few days to get used to it but so much nicer that then cheaper ones

We have a simba. Chose that over the Emma as it has a spring layer rather than all memory.

Although not sure how different it is to the Emma (and never been on an Emma). They both have great reviews.

I have never slept so well in my life. Highly recommend (I got a pillow too).

Yep this is why we choose the simba. And it's super comfortable....I'd still rather have a tempur though 😂 OH won't have it though as he's convinced he'll be too hot and to be honest his side does dip as he's quite tall/ muscular and we've turned it round occasionally to accommodate.

The mattress in our spare room is a old proper spring mattress and everyone's who stays bloody loves it and mentions how comfortable it is so maybe next time ill go back to springs

[swampytiggaa]

We have an Eve hybrid mattress and the matching pillows. Love it.

[MsFrog]

We've got a Simba and it's amazing, best money we ever spent

[Monkeybutt1]

As someone who's name is Emma I'm finding this hilarious 😂

[itwasntaparty]

Following with interest. I couldn't get on with my Emma pillow it was
So bloody hard but think it might be quite nice as a mattress?!

[Redlorryyellowduck]

I've I've in a 6 month battle with Emma where they've sent absolutely terrible mattresses, refused me a refund as they "don't subscribe to UK Consumer law", have lied, honestly they have gone so far downhill.....have a look at the latest TrustPilot reviews, something has gone very wrong for them of late.

[Christmas21]

I had an Emma and didn't like it. We've had a Leesa for 2/3 years but are going to replace it with a proper sprung mattress. It's fine for me but DH is a 6ft3 rugby player and despite regular turning, his side has a big dip in it.

[BarbaraofSeville]

We have a Leesa to throw another one into the mix, there's also Bruno, Caspar and probably a couple of others IIRC.

We've had it about 5 years and it's really comfortable and showing no signs of wear.

I did a lot of reading about the different types but they all seemed much of a muchness and which is best for you is probably down to personal preference.

When it wears out we will get another and will look for one with handles to make manoeuvring it eg when cleaning under bed or rearranging furniture easier.

If you get one, look for discount codes because there's always one available. But if you don't like it, they're all really good about refunding during the 100 day free trial period.

Yes, same here (chosen for the same reason; no pillow though).

We love it. It's so comfortable.

Bought an Emma one last year, it's a glorified mattress topper, total waste of time.

Ended up getting one from IKEA and it's glorious!
