Frequently asked question






How long does it take for the Emma mattress to inflate?

The Emma mattress takes up to 24 hours to fully inflate. Please also note it is not entirely uncommon for the mattress to not inflate to its full size immediately. Although it is rare what can sometimes happen is that the mattresses are vacuum packed slightly tighter which just leads to a little more time for the full inflation to take place. Although they should reach 90%-95% of the desired depth within 48 hours, it may take an extra couple of days for them to reach the optimal height.

 

If this is not the case, please reach out to our Customer Service team via the ChatBot function at the bottom right of the page.

Do I need to flip and ventilate the Emma mattress?

Flipping your Emma mattress is not necessary and the white top-cover and Airgocell® layer should always remain on top. The three-layer build-up form serves as an especially long lived function of support, so the usual flipping of the mattress isn’t necessary. The special breathability and open-cell character of the core materials provide a self-contained ventilation system, keeping the mattress aerated.

Do the Emma mattresses require a special slat frame?

No! The Emma is a low-maintenance mattress. It is able to lay on any surface. It doesn't matter whether it is lying on the ground, on a box spring or on a slat frame, Emma is a mattress that fits every lifestyle. The most important thing is that the surface is clean and dry. The only thing we recommend is that the slats are not further than 7.5cm apart.

How long does it take to get used to an Emma mattress?

Research suggests that it takes around 4 to 6 weeks for the human body to adapt to a new mattress. We would kindly ask you to use the mattress for a bit longer and if you still find it uncomfortable, we will initiate the return process.

How can a mattress be suitable for everyone?

We worked long and hard to find the perfect composition for our Emma mattress and have found the optimum balance between support and comfort. While most customers are very satisfied with the Emma mattress, there are of course exceptions. That is why we offer our stress free 200-day sleep trial so you can decide for yourself.

How long can my Emma mattress stay in the box for?

In order to experience optimal comfort, we recommend that the mattress is not left in the box any longer than 4 weeks.

I have back or neck pain, is Emma mattress the right mattress for me?

We understand that needs vary by individuals so we offer 200 days to test the Emma mattress risk free. That way you can decide if it is best for your situation.

Does the foam smell?

Like all new products, the Emma mattress has a slight "new" smell at the start. Since we exclusively use high-grade materials, this slight smell will wear off after the first few hours. Make sure the mattress is aired out in a well ventilated room. This is totally normal and doesn't imply any health risks for you!

Shouldn't I test a mattress first in person before purchasing?

We believe that our mattresses provide an exceptionally relaxing and comfortable sleep to 99% of our customers. We want to make sure your mattress buying experience is as simple and carefree as possible. That is why we offer our customers the chance to test the Emma mattress for 200-days risk free. If you do not enjoy it, just simply contact us via chat and we’ll pick it up free of charge.

Are the Emma Mattresses fire retardant?

Yes, the Emma Mattresses are fire retardant as required in the Republic of Ireland and United Kingdom.

If I assemble the frame the wrong way, does this voids my warranty?

Does the mattress need to stay in its plastic during the trial?

No, it doesn’t. We want you to have the best sleep possible and that should not include sleeping on noisy plastic.

What does the 10 year guarantee cover?

For more information, please check our terms and conditions.

What is strong customer authentication?

At Emma, we want to help ensure the security of everyone we do business with. One way we do this is to prevent the unauthorized use of cards - especially online when we can’t see a physical card. As a Mastercard / Visa cardholder, your transaction is secured by the respective company.

 

Strong customer authentication (SCA) is a requirement under the European Union's (EU) Payment Services Directive 2 (PSD2) for certain types of online payments. SCA requires that customers provide two or more independent pieces of authentication information, such as a password and a fingerprint or a PIN and a one-time code sent to their phone, to confirm their identity before making a payment.

 

Learn more about how it works at Mastercard or Visa.

 

What is the benefit?

 

Through this program you have an added layer of protection that helps to prevent the unauthorized use of your card while shopping online. This service helps us know you’re really you and most importantly it protects you from fraud.

 

Does this service cost me anything?

 

No. There are no costs associated with this service.

 

Can I use both credit and debit cards?

 

Yes! This service was designed for both credit and debit cards when shopping online with us. When you use your debit card, your online transaction experience will be similar to a credit transaction.

 

I see the Mastercard or Visa logo when I’m going through the extra check. What’s this about?

 

If you do encounter this extra verification step, these companies helps route information to your financial institution so they can can verify your identity. The logo is there to give you peace of mind that the transmission is secure and reliable.

Why do I see two transactions on my bank statement?

Credit or debit card payments are completed in two steps:

 

Authorizing a payment means that the payment provider verifies your bank account has enough funds to cover the transaction, but the funds are not actually transferred at that time. This is done by temporarily placing a hold on the funds, without actually transferring them. If the authorization is successful, the order will be created and we will start processing this order.

 

Charging a payment happens, when the transaction is submitted for settlement and the funds are transferred from your bank account to our Emma bank account. The charge normally happens 24 hours after the authorization.

 

Sometimes, depending on your bank, both transactions may appear on your bank statement for a certain period of time. You can be assured that your card has only been charged once and the temporary authorisation will either disappear from your statement or you will see a reverse transaction.

 

In summary, authorization is the process of verifying that the customer has sufficient funds available, while charge is the process of actually transferring the funds from your bank account to our Emma account.

Which payment methods can I use?

We accept a variety of payment methods in our online store. You can choose between: 

 

  • Credit and debit card (Visa and Mastercard) 
  • Paypal 
  • Klarna (Pay Later possibility). With Klarna, you can split your purchase into monthly instalments up to 3 months. The application takes around 60 seconds and you’ll get an instant decision so you can complete your order right away. With 0% interest fees! Warning: If you do not meet the repayments on your credit agreement, your account will go into arrears. This may affect your credit rating, which may limit your ability to access credit in the future.
  • GooglePay
  • ApplePay
  • Alma. With Alma, you can pay in installments starting from €100. By choosing to pay in installments with Alma, you'll be directed to Alma's website, which will provide you with the terms of the credit Alma offers you and the repayment schedule for that credit. Credit is a commitment and must be repaid. Check your repayment capacity before committing. Warning: If you do not meet the repayments on your credit agreement, your account will go into arrears. This may affect your credit rating, which may limit your ability to access credit in the future.

     

     

     

     

How do I know if my payment was successful?

Once you have successfully completed the payment, you will be shown a confirmation page from Emma and you will receive an order confirmation by email. In this email you will find details of your ordered products, your shipping and billing address and confirmation that the payment was successful.

 

If you see a message or page indicating the payment has failed, the payment didn´t get through and the order was not confirmed. We ask you to try again with the same payment method or use one of the other options available. If you see the order confirmation page but don't receive an email, please double check on the order confirmation page that you've spelled your email address correctly - it's also worth checking your junk mail. If you've checked and you're still unsure, please contact our customer service via chat bot in the right bottom of the screen and we will be happy to look into this for you.

Why was my payment declined with any payment method?

We work with independent payment service providers. Therefore, Emma has no control over why your payment was declined. Here are some tips on what to do if an error happens during the payment process.

 

A payment could be declined by our fraud detection system. If a payment is attempted too many times in a short period of time, this can trigger these security measures and cause the payment to be declined. This happens, for example, if you have tried with several cards or if you have tried to pay with Paypal several times and then try again with your credit card.

 

We use such a fraud detection system to protect our business and you, the customer, from various types of fraud such as bot attacks, account takeovers or identity theft. We understand that a declined payment can be frustrating for you.

 

If this is the case, please wait up to 24 hours before trying again with the same or a different payment method. More details on why a payment was declined for a specific payment method can be found below.

 

A card payment may be declined for several reasons. If your payment has been declined, check whether one of these most common reasons could apply:

 

  • 3DS authentication not completed within 15 minutes. The payment has expired due to inactivity. Please try again with the same card or use a different one. 
  • Insufficient funds. The payment has been declined by your bank. Please try a different card or contact your bank for further support. 

 

If your payment was declined, you may need to:

 

  •  Make sure the card has been activated. 
  • Double check the inserted card number, expiration date and security code. 
  • Ensure that 3D Secure (Visa Secure or Mastercard Identity Check) is enabled for your card.
