We earn advertising and referral fees from many of the brands we rank, and those fees affect where they appear.

Top3 Mattress compares mattresses sold in Australia, and we make our money when a reader buys through one of our links. Brands pay us advertising and referral fees, and those arrangements affect which mattresses we cover and how high they sit in our rankings. Some mattresses here have no arrangement with us at all.

Every mattress is scored against the same ten published criteria, and each of the ten scores is shown alongside the total. What those criteria measure, and how the total is set, are laid out on our How we rate page. The work behind the scores is desk work: we read published specifications, warranty documents and trial terms, and cross-check them against each manufacturer's own pages. We do not buy these mattresses and sleep on them, and no score here comes from in-home testing.

We do not cover every mattress sold in Australia, and the ones we can earn a commission on are more likely to be among the ones we do cover. Prices, trial lengths and warranty terms change without notice, so check the brand's own page before you buy. A ranking here is not a guarantee about a product and not an endorsement of it. Our full terms are set out in the Terms of use.

Head to head

Ecosa vs Emma

Both land within a dollar or two of each other at entry price, so the decision is not about money — it is about whether you want the firmness settled for you. Ecosa lets you unzip the cover and reorder three foam layers to change the feel; Emma makes one feel, medium-soft, and that is the whole range. Emma answers back with a 150-night sleep trial and a spring core with a foam edge frame, where Ecosa is memory foam all the way down and sleeps warmer for it.

Pros and cons, side by side

Ecosa

Pros

  • Unzip the cover and reorder three foam layers to change firmness — no return needed
  • Original and Plush editions cost the same, so choosing feel costs nothing
  • A 15-year limited warranty, five years past the standard ten-year term
  • Fire barrier is a woven silica sock rather than a chemical flame retardant

Cons

  • No sale price is running, so the list price is what you pay
  • A 100-night trial, where 120 is the common figure in this category
  • Memory foam with no spring layer, so it sleeps warm
  • No zoned support is claimed

Emma

Pros

  • A 150-night trial — 30 nights more than Newentor, Origin or Koala, 50 more than Ecosa

  • Cooling is built into all three layers: graphite foam, a polyethylene-blend cover and an open spring core
  • Seven support zones across the length of the bed

Cons

  • Medium-soft is the only firmness Emma makes, so there is no firmer version to switch to
