Recommended For
The Emma Diamond Hybrid mattress with its medium-firm feel is for kiwis who prefer a mattress with superior support, comfort, and cooling.
The Lux Mattress is perfect for those who prefer cool sleeping temperatures, experience back and hip pain, and don’t want to disturb their sleeping partner. Whether you sleep in the middle of the bed or on the edge, the Winkl Lux is comfortable all over.
What we like
The Emma Diamond Hybrid mattress is a top-of-the-line product that provides unparalleled comfort and support. As someone who has had the opportunity to test this mattress in the comfort of my home in Dunedin, I can confidently say that it is one of the best mattresses I have ever slept on. One of the standout features of the Emma Diamond Hybrid is its ability to conform to the body's natural curves, providing a supportive and comfortable sleeping experience. The mattress uses advanced zoning technology to distribute weight evenly across the surface, reducing pressure points and allowing for a more restful night's sleep. In addition to its supportive design, the Emma Diamond Hybrid also features a plush pillow-top layer that adds an extra layer of comfort to the sleeping surface. The soft yet durable cover material also contributes to the luxurious feel of the mattress. Another great feature of this mattress is its ability to regulate temperature. The combination of memory foam and pocket springs allows for optimal air circulation, preventing overheating and ensuring a comfortable sleep throughout the night. Overall, I would highly recommend the Emma Diamond Hybrid mattress to anyone looking for a comfortable and supportive sleep surface. Its innovative design, plush pillow-top layer, and temperature regulation features make it an excellent investment for anyone looking to improve their sleep quality.
The Winkl Lux uses activated charcoal and memory foam to ensure maximum comfort and breathability. It is hypoallergenic and created with non-toxic materials. Plus, Winkl offers a 120-night sleep trial and a 15-year warranty.

  • Diamond Degree® Graphite foam
  • Adaptive Comfort foam
  • Pocket Springs
  • Durable HRX foam
  • Climate-Regulating and Elastic Cover.

Comfort Info
Each Emma mattress is a result of an extensive development phase conducted by Emma's team of sleep experts and researchers. Leveraging top German engineering and expertise in neuroscience to give you the best sleep you've ever had. Sleep faster, deeper, and longer with the revolutionary Diamond Degree® foam infused with graphite particles that helps regulate your body temperature.
The Winkl Lux's extreme comfort comes from its exclusive Winkl-flex foam. Designed and specially formulated to provide the perfect balance of softness, bounce and pressure relief for your joints, it has been described as similar to that of sleeping on a giant marshmallow. The high quality Gel memory foam is charcoal infused to ensure the coolest possible sleep and superior antimicrobial properties. It contours to your body shape and minimises partner disturbance while you sleep. The Plush, high GSM outer cover is removable and machine washable.
Support Info

The Winkl Lux's support (base) layer comprises unique support zones designed to maximise spinal alignment and minimise back pain. It's a high quality foam ensuring long term durability and superior support for back, hip and shoulders.
Comfort Specs
Diamond Degree® foam is infused with diamond and graphite particles. This innovative coating quickly dissipates excess heat away, thereby extending the duration of your deep sleep phase. The foam's low rolling-resistance also helps minimize feelings of movement so you sleep undisturbed. Individually encased pocket springs offer superior breathability over a standard foam mattress by allowing air to flow more freely.

Support Specs
Adaptive comfort foam is ergonomically designed and adapts to your body and optimally distributes body pressure for a more comfortable sleep regardless of your build and sleeping position. The individually encased steel pocket springs provide dynamic body adaptation. The HRX supportive base foam layer is extremely durable and has incisions that allow the mattress to adapt well to your body by providing better support for your pelvis, shoulders, and neck.
A supportive base foam layer offers durability and support for all sleepers. Backed by a 15-year warranty - that's just 33c a night to sleep on a queen. The other key added feature is the precision cut spinal support zones, these zones allow your hips and shoulders to sink in which improves spinal alignment.
