- You want a mattress that responds quickly to pressure points, due to its combination of foams and zoned support.
- You are not a particularly light sleeper, as the motion transfer in Emma mattresses can wake lighter sleepers.
- You sleep in any position, although the Emma is particularly supportive for side sleepers.
- You like the slightly softer feel of an all foam mattress, but still want a mattress that is ever so slightly firmer than many medium firmness options.
