Therapur

Therapur mattresses have been around for a number of years now as a staple of the Dreams retailers core lineup. Sold exclusively through the retailer, this brand sits at the mid-high end range and commonly features high quality pocket springs as a base layer with gel often accompanying the comfort layer. Ideal for those that want to be kept cool while they sleep, this range of mattresses has plenty of long term reviews and are frequently praised for their high quality.

Therapur has a vast array of different mattresses in different tensions helping to ensure that there is something for everyone regardless of how you sleep and your own preference.

Emma

Emma is an immensely popular British manufacturer who specialises in bed in a box mattresses. First clamouring to fame in 2015 but achieving real velocity from 2018 onwards, Emma is one of the last standing in the war on sleep having bested Eve, Casper and Leesa, all of whom had similar marketing objectives and business models. To date, Emma offers 2 mattresses commercially through their own website with store and retailer derived versions for the masses of retailers looking to piggyback the brand's success. The mattresses all feature foam as a staple with some featuring additional springs. Regardless of which version you choose, comfort is almost guaranteed with thousands of satisfied customers to date.

Recently Emma rebranded to become known as Emma Sleep and pivoted their focus toward other items in the bedding sector ranging from bed frames, pillows, duvets and protectors.

Therapur Owner Satisfaction

You’ll be in good hands with Therapur, having over 12,000 positive reviews to date and with many more flowing in each day, it’s easy to see that many customers appreciate the quality and cost make-up of these mattresses. Customers particularly enjoy the gel comfort layer, something you don’t often get elsewhere. This gel layer keeps you cool while you sleep and is an ideal barrier that sits between the springs and your body to give you a refreshing and soft nights sleep that is suitable all-season long.

Unlike memory foam varieties, there are no substantive reports of people waking up through heat build up and night-sweats although there have been some complaints around getting the right tension. Fortunately the Therapur umbrella of products all come with a 40-night sleep guarantee which ensures customer satisfaction or replacement for a more suitable model.

Therapur Durability

Durability remains impressive for the Therapur line up, however, we were disappointed with the 1 year guarantee often quoted on many of the mattresses, particularly given the non-budget price tag associated with the products. That said, many settlement and durability issues that do crop up with all mattresses are often due to a manufacturing defect which will typically appear within that first year of ownership. As such, the one year guarantee, while not ideal, doesn’t seem to be causing anyone to be “caught out”.

Beyond the guarantee, durability itself seems to be good provided manufacturer care instructions are adhered to in the form of frequent rotation to ensure adequate and even settlement of fillings and springs. Failure to comply with the rotation guidelines for Therapur products can result in uneven settlement which is best avoided.

Generally, Therapur mattresses are hard wearing and durable with the combination of good quality pocket springs, hard wearing cover and gel comfort layer pairing fantastically to offer ultimate comfort that lasts.

Emma Owner Satisfaction

Emma Sleep’s entire business model is focussed toward consumer satisfaction. Key parts of their marketing strategy comes from word of mouth and statistics show that people buy from people. What makes Emma stand out from the crowd is an interesting shift in consumer buying behaviour. Previously, if you bought a mattress and didn’t enjoy it, you were out of luck, not so with the rise of Emma. Now, if you don’t like your mattress you can simply arrange a return and get a full refund within the first 100 days. This shift has proved extremely positive for customers and has increased satisfaction in the lineup.

To date, Emma has amassed an impressive 22,000+ reviews on Trustpilot, a fantastic display given the company's fairly new tenure in the industry.

Emma Supportiveness

Firmness is a very subjective thing which proves a particularly tough nut to crack when you are producing one mattress to suit all people. So much so that Emma has prototyped and tested numerous models previous to going to market in order to get that mix just right. The result? Right now Emma has two mattresses, a medium tension and a medium firm tension. Medium is a great supportive rating as it gives the user enough body contouring and support in the back and neck while giving enough softness and compression to accommodate those who sleep on their side or are of a lower BMI. It really is considered the one-size-fits-all approach and it’s one that suits many who purchase an Emma mattress, just take a look at the thousands of reviews to date.

Emma Durability

With the mid-range price point of Emma products, it’s important for shoppers that the bed lasts for a number of years. Generally we find companies consistently trying to cut costs at the expense of durability. Fortunately Emma already has a unique business model as the mattresses follow the rolled and bed-in-a-box model that allows savings through logistics and delivery meaning Emma can spend more on materials while still finding profit. The result of this means you get a mattress that is affordable and of higher quality than competing brands which, as a result of the quality increase, is more durable and lasts longer as a result. It’s a win for everyone.

I would not give this mattress any stars but the option is not given, we selected this mattress after using the sleep match machine which in Dreams own words (It's a super smart bit of wizardry that chooses the right mattress just for you and the way you sleep. ) this is the most uncomfortable hardest mattress I have ever had I explained to the sales advisor that I suffer with neck and spine problems and could not sleep on a hard mattress she said that the machine recommended a medium mattress we stupidly put our trust in this marvellous machines hands the sales advisor showed us various mattresses from the list that the machine had recommended we chose this mattress and was assured not to worry as we had the 40 days returns policy at no point was it explained that we would have to sleep on the mattress for 30 nights before it could be returned and loose the difference in money if you chose a cheaper mattress. Two days after receiving the new mattress we returned to the store saying I cannot sleep as the mattress is so hard my pressure points are numb and I have pins and needles we were told that the problem is out of there hands and I would need to contact customer services after finally getting through to customer services I was told that they would prefer us to sleep on the mattress for 30 nights to enable the springs to settle down I said when I tried the mattress in the store nobody told us to expect such a difference between the stores mattress and the one we would receive also on our second visit to the store my husband noticed that we had in fact been sold a firm mattress as I am so upset with the service we have received I asked for my money to be refunded I was told this would not happen I would need to choose another mattress and either pay the difference if it was more expensive or loose the money if it was cheaper and also pay for the delivery Please ensure when buying a mattress from Dreams you read all of the small print that you are given once you have made your purchase and also read the reviews on the website as you will see other people have had the same experience as myself, do use the Sleep Match machine as another sales advisor on our second visit to the store said how can a machine tell you what mattress you need I have been selling mattresses for years and do not go by what the machine says.

Amazing mattress that i didn't realise how much i needed! I had been having a bad back with our old mattress for several months but as it was only 4 years old i put off getting a new one. The back pain got to much so i figured that not only did i have to bite the bullet but i also needed to get it right this time, hence going to Dreams. We were helped by a very professional and friendly gentleman who showed us the Dreams mattress technology which helped us pick a mattress that i would have never though of myself, as I've always chosen a hard mattress. The gentleman explained how the mattress should be supporting my back and gave us plenty of possible mattresses to try out. Not only did we pick a mattress but we also picked pillows which to my surprise has been the best pillow i have ever had, I'm very fussy when it comes to pillows and in the past i have found that not only does it take me weeks to adapt to a new one but it also will only last me a few months as they don't support my neck properly or become lumpy and my poor husband ends up inheriting it! Since receiving my wonderful Dreams mattress and pillow i have slept better than a baby, i cant wait to go to bed and hate having to get up! Also im happy to report no more bad back!!

An absolute game changer!!! So glad I invested in this mattress topper. I didn't want it for its cooling effect. I wanted to improve my sleeping comfort and be sure I was supporting all the main pressure points when I sleep.. iv been having problems with nerve pain down my left leg and I'm a back sleeper so found in a morning before I got my topper my back was particularly bad when I first got up..In less than a week of having this topper on my mattress I am "Pain free!!" Its like a miracle...its because it's totally contouring my lower back and supporting it...I would 100% recommend this Topper. Plus The salesman at the Chesterfield branch was AMAZING...So helpful I tried before I bought I had all the different options of toppers explained to me and so realised this was absolute the one for me. No pressure sales I was very happy indeed with the customer service of Drew a real knowledgeable salesman. Thank you. ??

We purchased a king size divan base and attachable headboard in store and, in summary, the store experience, the product, and the delivery process and all of the related pre delivery information have been excellent ... with just one niggle resulting in a less than 5 star review. This relates to the matching attachable headboard which also looks great and is excellent quality like the divan Ottoman base. That said, despite the delivery guys, who assembled everything, chocking the headboard as far from base as they could, the headboard still sits over the top of the base by about an inch. This results in the king sized mattress (that should fit perfectly) being pushed an inch down the base and hence results in the mattress overhanging the bottom of the divan base by just over an inch. It's not end of the world stuff but seems a pretty basic design flaw and, in our mind, results in the made up bed looking just that bit odd due to this small overhang.

5 The Dua's

We had an excellent experience at Dreams Slough from the moment we walked in. We were warmly welcomed, and Daljit took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for, including our comfort preferences and affordability. She guided us through the different options with patience and expertise, giving us time to think without ever being pushy. Her knowledge and attentiveness made the whole process simple and stress-free. Meanwhile, Jack kindly entertained our children, which allowed us to focus on choosing the right mattress. The team even offered us a drink while we waited which added a thoughtful and welcoming touch to the visit. Thanks to Daljit’s professionalism and Jack’s support, what could have been a challenging shopping trip turned into a smooth and enjoyable experience. Outstanding service all round. I would highly recommend Dreams to anyone looking for a new mattress!

Checked reviews online, visited store and chose this mattress. Was very surprised when delivered as was in a small box, but once removed and left to settle and expand into its shape, we have to say that its the best mattress that we've ever purchased. It may seem soft but isn't the case. We both sleep far better than before and can highly recommend it, it works for us and hopefully will work for you too. Its expensive but is worth it.

The Emma Signature Bed is a breath of fresh Scandinavian air. Designed with naturalistic curves and shapes, the frame looks and feels like it belongs in a home, not a showroom. Superior all-round support and optimal pressure distribution makes this bed an easy choice for those who want to sleep soundly at night. Free delivery and hassle-free returns means you can order your new bed with confidence.

We bought an Emma diamond hybrid deluxe mattress from Furniture Village in Rugby. It arrived as scheduled and the delivery crew installed it carefully. It only took one night to get used to - it replaced a 20 year old pocket spring mattress. We have slept well on it ever since and are very pleased with the mattress and the service provide by Furniture Village.

5 Debs Bala

Very pleased with our diamond mattress. It arrived right on time and was very easy to undo from its box. We have it in our guest room and so far all our guests have found it very comfortable. It is a little on the firmer side so we will add a memory foam topper to it. I would definitely recommend it as a firm favourite of the more popular brands.

5 Verified Buyer

The softest, most luxurious bedding in the world. We feel like its time to let the cat out of the bag: you’ve never felt anything like this before. The Emma Cloud Duvet is made with the highest-quality microfiber that feels like silk to the touch, looks great months later. The best part? It’s 100% satisfaction guaranteed or your money back.
