What we like
There are several things to love about the Ecosa Vital mattress. Here are some of the features we love: * Excellent value, especially for a hybrid * Perimeter edge support * 7 zones of springs giving the right amount of support to each part of your body * Quick delivery * 100 day trial period and 15 year warranty
The Emma Original mattress is a popular choice in New Zealand, known for its unique features and benefits. This mattress offers a comfortable and supportive sleeping surface that is suitable for all types of sleepers. Here are some of the USPs of the Emma Original mattress: Pressure-relieving foam: The Emma Original mattress features a top layer of memory foam that is designed to relieve pressure points and provide excellent support for your body. This layer contours to your body's shape and reduces the strain on your joints and muscles, helping to alleviate back pain and other sleep-related issues. Breathable materials: The Emma Original mattress is made with breathable materials that help regulate your body temperature and prevent overheating during the night. This feature is particularly beneficial for those who tend to sleep hot and wake up sweaty. High-quality construction: The Emma Original mattress is made with high-quality materials that are durable and long-lasting. It is also designed to resist sagging and maintain its shape over time, ensuring a consistent level of support and comfort. Easy delivery and setup: The Emma Original mattress is delivered straight to your doorstep in a compact box, making it easy to move and set up. The mattress can be easily unpacked and set up in minutes, without the need for any additional tools or equipment. Sleep trial and warranty: The Emma Original mattress comes with a generous 100-night sleep trial, allowing you to test the mattress in the comfort of your own home. It also comes with a 10-year warranty, providing peace of mind and ensuring that you can enjoy your mattress for years to come. Overall, the Emma Original mattress is a great option for those looking for a comfortable, supportive, and high-quality mattress at an affordable price point. Its pressure-relieving foam, breathable materials, and easy delivery and setup make it a popular choice for New Zealanders.
Keep in Mind
Even though the Vital mattress is only 23cm and the most economic option from Ecosa it is relatively heavy. It comes conveniently delivered vaccum packed in a box but it is difficult to set up if you don't have help. The firmness is a fixed medium feel so it doesn't have the flexibility of adjustment by flipping the internal foam layers like the original Ecosa mattress.
There are a few negative features to consider before making a purchase. These include: Edge support: The Emma Original mattress does not have reinforced edges, which may cause the mattress to compress when sitting or sleeping near the edge. This may be a concern for those who need extra support near the edge of the bed. Off-gassing: Like most foam mattresses, the Emma Original mattress may emit a slight odour when first unpacked. While this odour should dissipate within a few hours, some customers may find it unpleasant.

Mattress Construction

Materials Overview
The Ecosa Vital mattress has 4 layers of foam combined with pocket springs and recycled felt:
  • 5cm Air Memory Foam
  • 4cm Tranquil Foam
  • 1cm Transition Foam
  • 12cm 7 Zone Pocket Springs
  • Recycled Felt
  • 1cm Reinforced Foam
  • Removable OceanCycled™ Cover.
The Emma Original Mattress consists of three different layers: - Breathable eco-friendly hyperfoam - Supportive polyether 7 zone foam - Pressure-relieving point-elastic foam.
Comfort Info
Pincore holes in the memory foam allow for ultra-breathability. Proudly carbon neutral. All carbon produced to create and deliver the Vital Mattress is offset via Green Story.
Eco-friendly foam is made from natural materials that help you stay cool all night. This innovative layer wicks moisture away and prevents you from getting too hot. The high-quality cover also supports perfect air circulation.
Support Info
Ecosa's best-selling memory foam combines with 7 zoned pocket springs. The pocket springs are zoned along the body to ensure better alignment and support where you need it, so you can have a pain-free sleep. These pocket springs are individually wrapped coils that move independently to contour to your body, and firmer springs are used along the perimeter of the mattress for reinforced edge support.
A three-layered mattress core adapts to any body shape to align your spine, regardless of your size. The high-quality foams work together perfectly to distribute all pressure evenly across the entire mattress.
Comfort Specs
No Disturbance technology means you can have undisturbed sleep, no matter how much you or your sleeping buddy moves in their sleep. The combination of Air Memory Foam with pincore holes and zoned pocket springs allows for air to flow freely throughout all layers of the Vital Mattress, leaving you with a breathable mattress and an ultra-cool night's sleep.
Breathable eco-friendly hyperfoam in the top layer is kind to the environment and to your sleep. This foam wicks away moisture and stops you from overheating all night long. The foam is bouncy.
Support Specs
Tranquil Foam is a pressure relieving comfort foam to support you through the night. The Transition Foam alleviates the reactive force of the pocket springs and enhances the no partner disturbance. Pocket Spring with 7 zones of support for each part of the body, supports your spine and cushions pressure points. Recycled Felt is a protective layer for the pocket springs, made from 100% recycled materials. Finally, reinforced firm foam supports and protects the pocket springs.
The supportive polyether foam used in the middle layer has 7 zones, these zones effortlessly adapt specifically to different parts of your body. This high resilience foam distributes pressure perfectly across the mattress. Pressure-relieving point-elastic foam in the base layer provides essential counter-pressure to comfortably support your lower back and make moving on the mattress a breeze without disturbing your sleeping partner.
Fabric Specs
The Vital Mattress cover is OceanCycle certified, meaning up to 120 plastic bottles were collected from the ocean and repurposed into the cover. This cover may be removed and machine washed. Simply zip the top off and pop it in your washing machine.
The Emma Original mattress is wrapped in a climate-regulating and elastic cover. This moisture-wicking top material (99% polyester and 1% elastane) ensures a good sleep climate and the elasticity keeps the cover tight around the mattress. The top cover is removable and machine-washable. The 100% polyester side cover promotes good air circulation and the handles help you to move the mattress. The bottom cover has anti-slip elements (87% polyester and 13% polypropylene) to keep the mattress from moving.
