I've got about £400 to spend.
Whilst looking I came across the Emma mattress...it's half price on sale...I've just about got enough for it.
Does anyone have one? If so...is it any good?
Anyone have any other recommendations?
Getting a new one has now become a necessity as I wake up with really bad aches. | |||

 It does not budge, it’s a two man job to make the bed to lift it!
It’s very hard and very comfy…you’d love it. Another you should try out

"I can't help but chuckle because "Emma Mattress" sounds like a purely British porn star name. I have quite a firm mattress. I'm 5'11 and 13 stone so don't want to get that "sinking feeling". Mind you, there's a slat or two that needs replacing, now..." It does sound like it
Maybe that's why I'm drawn to them
Glad you have found yourself a comfy one. They do recommend a firm one for heavier folk x | |||

"Have you tried simply just turning it over?" It is so heavy it would take 2 men to turn it over and it wouldn't make any difference. They do say you should turn your mattress over. Thanks though x | |||

"I got a new mattress just this week - I looked at the Emma mattresses and saw some reviews suggesting that they began to go downhill after about a year, so I decided that that wasn't worth the risk. What did you go for in the end?" A Slumberland medium mattress from Benson's. (I didn't mention it because it's more than £400, sorry  ) So far I'm really pleased. It's supportive firm but not uncomfortable.
Re turning/flipping the mattress, if you can't flip it then try sleeping at the foot of the bed? The wear will be different. Or maybe get a good mattress topper - it's how I prolonged the life of my old one | |||

I thought about a topper but some of them are half of my actual mattress budget! | |||

"I've got the Emma hybrid, I think it's called. I prefer a firmer mattress in general I can honestly say, it's the best mattress I've slept on. I sleep on my side and it was recommended for side sleepers who like firmish mattresses." They are not in my budget
I'm also a side sleeper

I believe they sell European sized beds. The singles are an extra 10cm long. Not impossible to find fitted sheets, but you'll struggle to find them in shops. Online is the way to go | |||

"When I bought my bed I tried the mattresses in the shop. I felt like a right prat lying down on various ones in front of my parents and the sales assistant, but it was good. Plus I was told the heavier you are, the firmer the mattress you need. As it's something you'll use every day for years and a bad one will make you feel rubbish, I would definitely want to try them out and not buy online " I have no problem trying them out in the shop.

They do UK sizes as well as European sizes. We have IKEA mattresses on our daughter's bed (single) and son's bed (double) and they are the expected size plus our random rag-tag collection of bedding fits just fine. | |||
