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

Emma vs Origin LumbarCloud Mattress

Both are pocket-spring hybrids with cooling built into several layers, so the split is about how much bed you want and what you are prepared to pay for it. Emma runs 26 cm with a graphite foam layer and a reinforced foam edge. The LumbarCloud runs 33 cm and adds a second spring layer plus latex under a quilted pillowtop, which is more mattress in every direction — including price, and including the fifteen-year warranty term.

Pros and cons, side by side

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
  • Free delivery and returns cover select metro addresses only; outer and regional areas pay a fee
  • Delivery fees are not refunded if you return it inside the trial
  • No foam or textile certification is published

Origin LumbarCloud Mattress

Cons
