Firmness Info

The Birch Mattress was designed with a medium-firm feel. If you're looking for something softer, we offer a Plush Pillow Top that lays directly on top of your Birch to provide an extra soft layer - this 3" pillow top can be purchased after you receive the mattress if you do want a softer feel or with your mattress.

Emma smoothly combines high-quality materials to create a dream-like mattress that conforms to every body type. Rated a 5/10 on the firmness scale. They worked long and hard to find the perfect composition for our Emma mattress and have found the optimum balance between support and comfort. Decide for yourself with a risk-free 365 day sleep trial.

Mattress Construction

Materials Overview

The Birch mattress was designed by Helix, the team behind the leading mattress brand in customized sleep. Birch takes those learnings in comfort and uses all natural and organic materials. The Birch mattress is a 6 layer construction:

  • Cover - Organic Cotton
  • Fire Retardant Cover - Wool
  • Comfort Layer - Birch Wool
  • Pressure Relief Layer - Natural Talalay Latex
  • Support Layer - Individually Wrapped Coils
  • Base Layer - Wool Batting.

At Emma they don't let accolades determine when their work is done, they continually strive to make advancements in comfort through innovation. With their on site state-of-the-art testing facility, coupled with a veteran product development team, they give you the perfect mattress - re-engineered to match American sleep preferences. A three layer construction:

  • Point Elastic Airgocell® Foam
  • HALO® Memory Foam
  • HRX Supreme® Foam.

Comfort Info

Our materials come from nature - whether it be wool sustainably sheared from New Zealand sheep or latex tapped from trees. These premium materials are comfortable on your body and conscience.

The maximum amount of adaptability through our special German technology, and expertly developed foam. This allows airflow through the foam, allowing you to stay cool at night and sleep soundly.

Motion-isolating foam is designed to make sure that any movement from your pets, kids, or partner from the other side of the bed won't disturb your sleep.

Support Info

We spent countless hours finding the right density of latex, quantity of wool, and type of steel springs to provide unprecedented comfort and pressure relief.
Each mattress features a reinforced perimeter for best in class edge support. The coils that run along the outside of your mattress are actually firmer, so no more feeling of falling off the bed when lying down or sitting on the edge.

Emma combines high-quality materials to create a dream-like mattress that conforms to every body type. The mattress offers comfort point-elastic caving that enables an ideal and unique fit for your body. As a result, your spine stays straight while at the same time offering you the necessary amount of support and comfort.

Comfort Specs

100% all natural & organic Birch Wool provides unparalleled comfort and temperature regulation. Birch Wool is designed to retain shape with a natural elasticity of each fiber.
Talalay latex is up to 7 times more breathable than other types of latex. Natural latex is also hypoallergenic and anti-microbial.

Point Elastic Airgocell® Foam
The top layer of breathable and adaptable Airgocell® foam ensures optimized adaptability. In addition to this, Airgocell® foam has an open pore structure for ideal air circulation adding to the Emma Mattress' climate regulating design.

Support Specs

Natural Talalay latex provides response to cushion your pressure points while giving support. Our latex is carefully managed to ensure consistency.
Hundreds of individual steel coils help to cradle your body and provide support, while also limiting motion transfer. Additionally, the reinforced perimeter coils provide best in class edge support.

HALO® Memory Foam
The 3 zones in our mattresses are designed to provide both spinal alignment and the pressure-relieving support for individual body zones, which include the shoulders, back, and hips.

HRX Supreme® Foam
This durable foam layer is engineered to last for years, holding firm and preventing sag. Five adaptive cut-outs and over 100 supportive points distribute your body weight evenly to reduce pressure on your body.

Edge Support
A reinforced perimeter that helps prevent restless and active sleepers from falling off at night, and helps all sleepers easily sit up in the morning.

Fabric Specs

The Birch Mattress has a cover that is made using natural, organic cotton. It is designed to be highly breathable with a subtle stretch and soft touch.

UltraDry® Original Cover
The breathable Emma cover combines a premium design with climate regulating fibers which allow the mattress to breathe and not retain heat like other mattresses do. At the same time, the cover is flexible allowing the mattress to adapt perfectly to your body. This removable and washable (at 140°F) top cover is made of 99% polyester and 1% elastane.

The side cover is made of 100% polyester. The bottom cover is made of 89% polyester and 11% polypropylene.
