Emma Premium Cloud Pillow Review UK (2025)

Choosing the perfect pillow varies for each individual, depending on the firmness, loft, and position you sleep in.

But how does the Emma Premium Cloud pillow cater to different sleeping positions?

Side sleepers

Side sleepers might find the pillow a bit too soft. 🧸

The Emma Premium Cloud pillow includes two interchangeable microfibre layers.

However, even when using both layers, it lacks the necessary support and loft to align the neck and spine in the side position.

​

Our testers found themselves repeatedly scrunching up the pillow at night or using their arm under the pillow to create a higher lift to prevent waking with neck pain. 😖

On the other hand, if you prefer sleeping on your side with two pillows, the Emma Premium Microfibre pillow could be an excellent addition to your current pillow.

Combining the Emma Microfibre pillow with another pillow could add the necessary lift you need when sleeping on your side.

Those with small shoulders may also find this softer option more suitable for side sleeping.

Back sleepers

Our testing indicates that the Emma Premium Cloud pillow is perfect for back sleepers. ✅️

The head sinks into the pillow but is still met with a medium-lift that aligns the neck and shoulders.

​

We suggest using both pillow inserts for optimal comfort while lying on your back.

Stomach sleepers

The Emma Premium Cloud Microfibre pillow is a soft and suitable choice for stomach sleepers. 🙌

Front sleepers require a soft and low-loft pillow to keep the head close to the mattress so that the neck and back remain straight.

We advise using just one layer in the Emma Premium Cloud pillow to maintain a low loft.

​

The soft microfibre filling provides decent sinkage to prevent straining the neck or causing back pain.

If you need an even lower loft, consider removing all pillow layers and resting on the cover, which is thick enough to provide a soft, comforting feel. 🤗

Time to upgrade your mattress?

It’s also important to remember that a supportive pillow is useless without a suitable mattress.

Like pillows, your mattress requirements depend on your body shape and sleeping position.

Let's take a closer look at the composition of the Emma Microfibre pillow. 🔍

The Emma Premium Cloud pillow is made up of a thick polyester pillow cover and Aerosoft microfibre layers.

Microfibre pillow layers

The Emma Premium Cloud pillow includes two interchangeable microfibre layers.

These pillow layers are made of 100% siliconised microelastic fibres and contribute to the pillow's softness and adaptability.

These two interchangeable layers allow you to customise your pillow to match your preferred sleeping position and comfort level. 🔧

We recommend two layers for back sleepers and one layer for front sleepers.

Emma Premium Cloud pillow cover

The cover includes 100g/m³ microfibre and 100% polyester.

Polyester is flexible and easy to wash, making it a great choice for those looking for a practical, low-fuss pillow.

It has a soft-touch finish and feels thick and high-quality.

Take a look below:

The design of the Emma Premium Cloud Microfibre pillow is fairly simple.

The pillow cover is opaque white with stylish blue piping and the iconic Emma logo around the edge of the pillow.

We were impressed with the pillow cover and how high-quality it feels. ✨️

The Emma Microfibre pillow is fully machine-washable. 🧼

This makes the Emma Premium Cloud Microfibre pillow much more practical than the Emma Original pillow or other alternatives.

You can wash both the pillow cover and two inner layers at 60°C.

Just pop them into the washing machine with your regular laundry detergent.

During testing, we found the Emma Premium Cloud pillow stayed in perfect condition after it had been machine-washed, without clumping like cheap, hollowfibre pillows.

The Emma Premium Cloud pillow is also tumble-dry friendly on a low setting but must not be ironed or bleached. ❌️

We highly recommend choosing a washable pillow if you suffer from allergies or are sensitive to dust and other particles.

Washing a pillow regularly helps to remove dirt, dust, and bacteria, which can help reduce allergy symptoms during sleep. 🤧

We'd also recommend pairing it with a good quality, breathable pillowcase.

Grab your Emma pillowcase:

The Emma Premium Cloud pillow is priced at just over £100, similar to the Emma Original pillow.

So, is this good value?

This pillow is a little pricey, considering it’s made of microfibre, which is generally cheaper to manufacture than memory foam. 💰

However, some of the pillow features make this a better value-for-money product than your average pillow.

​

We love the pillow cover and found it exceptionally high quality.

The 30-night sleep trial and 2-year guarantee are also great add-ons you don’t get with regular supermarket pillows. 🤯

Whether the pillow is worth it depends entirely on your circumstances and budget.

We recommend the Panda pillow if you’re looking for a premium pillow that offers much better value for money.

This Sleep Hero favourite includes a soft bamboo cover and pressure-relieving memory foam. ☁️

It also comes with a 30-night trial and a 10-year guarantee.

The Emma Premium Cloud Microfibre pillow comes with free delivery.

You'll receive a 3-hour time slot 24 hours before your delivery, ensuring you know when to expect your package. 🕑

We experienced excellent communication and a seamless experience throughout the delivery process.

The pillow arrives vacuum-sealed in a small rectangular box.

​

​

We noticed Emma uses significantly less packaging compared to other brands we've encountered. ♻️

When unboxing your new pillow, simply open the box, remove it from its plastic, and watch it expand.

It should be ready for use immediately, allowing you to enjoy a comfortable night's sleep in no time.

​

We noticed the Emma Microfibre pillow expanded immediately, unlike the Emma Original pillow, which took around 24 hours to return to its original shape.

You can also give your Emma pillow a quick plump to help breathe some life into it. ☁️

The Emma Premium Cloud pillow (previously the Emma Premium Microfibre pillow) offers a luxurious sleep experience with soft layers and a high-grade cover. ✨️

It's excellent for back and stomach sleepers who value a soft, cushioning pillow.

It’s also perfect for allergy sufferers looking for a fully washable pillow.

However, it comes with a higher price tag than most microfibre pillows, so evaluate the value for your budget. 💰

The 30-night trial allows you to test it out and decide if it's worth the higher cost.
