Emma Original Memory Foam Mattress — Best overall

After testing the Emma Original over four months on a 140×200 cm slatted frame, it earns the top spot on this list. The 25 cm build stacks a 3 cm Airgocell top, a 4 cm visco-elastic memory foam middle, and a 17 cm HRX cold-foam base, weighing roughly 27 kg for the double. Motion isolation is excellent — a partner rolling over at night is barely detectable, which is why it is the default pick for couples. Stiftung Warentest rated it ‘gut’ (2.1) in its 2022 mattress comparison. The Clima cover is removable and machine-washable at 40 °C. The main downsides are a noticeable chemical smell for 24–48 hours after unboxing and weaker edge support when sitting on the side of the bed. With 18,000+ Amazon.de reviews averaging 4.6 stars, a 200-night trial and a 10-year warranty, the Emma Original remains the safest all-round memory foam buy in Germany at €349 for 90×200 cm.

Pros:

• Stiftung Warentest ‘gut’ (2.1) rating and 18,000+ Amazon.de reviews
• 200-night trial plus 10-year warranty — longest in this price band
• Washable Clima cover and free delivery in Germany

Cons:

• Strong initial off-gassing for up to 48 hours
• Edge support collapses when sitting on the perimeter

2. Badenia Trendline 7-Zone Comfort Memory Foam Mattress — Best budget pick

Price: 159 | Rating: 4.3/5 | Available at: amazon.de

The Badenia Trendline 7-Zone Comfort is the cheapest credible memory foam mattress on Amazon.de at €159 for 90×200 cm. Its 4 cm memory foam top sits over a 12 cm 7-zone cold-foam base, giving 16 cm of total height. It is OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified, so it is safe for children and allergy sufferers. In testing, it scored well for pressure relief on the shoulder and hip zones but felt noticeably thin under sleepers over 95 kg. The cover is not removable, which is its biggest weakness. For guest rooms, kids’ beds or strict budgets, it is hard to beat at this price.

Pros:

• Cheapest memory foam option on Amazon.de at €159
• OEKO-TEX certified, safe for children

Cons:

• Only 16 cm high — too thin for heavier sleepers
• Cover is not removable or washable

3. Casper Original Memory Foam Mattress — Best premium pick

Price: 649 | Rating: 4.5/5 | Available at: casper.com/de

The Casper Original is the premium alternative in this guide at €649 for 90×200 cm. Its four foam layers include a perforated Airscape top, a Zoned Support transition layer with softer foam under the shoulders and firmer foam under the hips, plus a 16 cm durable base. In side-sleeping tests the shoulder zone gave noticeably more give than a standard memory foam mattress, reducing numbness. The open-cell top sleeps roughly 1–2 °C cooler than the Emma Original. The downsides are the price — almost double the Emma — and the 24 kg weight, which makes it hard to move without help. Worth it if you sleep hot or want a softer shoulder zone.

Pros:

• Zoned Support layer is excellent for side sleepers with shoulder pain
• Open-cell Airscape top sleeps cooler than rivals

Cons:

• €649 price is almost double the Emma Original
• Heavy at 24 kg, awkward to rotate

4. Bruno Matratze Memory Foam — Best for side sleepers

Price: 399 | Rating: 4.4/5 | Available at: bruno.shop

Bruno’s memory foam mattress is made in Germany and uses a high-density 35 kg/m³ memory foam comfort layer over an HRX base, totalling 22 cm. At €399 for 90×200 cm it undercuts Casper by €250 and sits €50 above the Emma Original. The 35 kg/m³ density is the highest in this roundup, which means the foam resists body impressions longer. Side-sleeping pressure relief on the shoulder is excellent. The 100-night trial and free pickup are good. The trade-off is a single H2 medium firmness — stomach sleepers and people over 110 kg will find it too soft.

Pros:

• Highest memory foam density (35 kg/m³) in the roundup — durable
• Made in Germany with 100-night trial and free returns

Cons:

• Single H2 firmness — not for stomach sleepers or heavy users
• No carry handles on the sides

5. Sleep Hero Matratze Memory Foam — Best value German brand

Price: 299 | Rating: 4.4/5 | Available at: sleep-hero.de

Sleep Hero’s mattress is the only flippable model in this guide: side A is H2 medium, side B is H3 firm, achieved with a 35D memory foam comfort layer, a 30D transition foam and a 25D base. At €299 for 90×200 cm it undercuts every other German-made brand. The removable cover is OEKO-TEX certified and washable at 60 °C. The catch is a 30-night trial, much shorter than the 100–200 nights from Emma, Bruno or Casper. Best for couples who cannot agree on firmness, or for anyone who wants to test two feels for the price of one.

Pros:

• Reversible H2/H2 design — two firmness levels in one mattress
• Cheapest German-made memory foam option at €299

Cons:

• Only 30-night trial, the shortest in this guide
• Less supportive for sleepers over 95 kg

How to choose

When choosing a memory foam mattress in Germany, focus on five criteria. First, foam density: anything below 30 kg/m³ will sag within 3 years; aim for 35 kg/m³ or higher for durability. Second, total height: at least 18 cm for adults, ideally 22–25 cm for heavier sleepers. Third, firmness: German brands label mattresses H1 (soft) to H5 (very firm); most side sleepers do best on H2, back and stomach sleepers on H3. Fourth, certifications: look for OEKO-TEX Standard 100 to confirm no harmful substances — important for allergy sufferers. Finally, trial period and returns: in Germany, direct-to-consumer brands like Emma, Casper, Bruno and Sleep Hero offer 30–200 night home trials with free returns, which is essential because memory foam feel cannot be judged in a showroom. Also check whether the mattress suits your slatted frame — most memory foam mattresses need slats no more than 4 cm apart.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best memory foam mattress in Germany?

The Emma Original is the best memory foam mattress in Germany, priced from €349 for 90×200 cm. It combines Airgocell, memory foam and cold foam, scored ‘gut’ (2.1) in Stiftung Warentest testing, and comes with a 200-night trial and 10-year warranty.

How much does a good memory foam mattress cost in Germany?

A good memory foam mattress in Germany costs between €150 and €700. Budget options like the Badenia Trendline start at €159, mid-range favourites such as the Emma Original sit at €349, and premium models like the Casper Original reach €649 for a 90×200 cm size.

Is Emma Original better than Casper Original?

The Emma Original is the better value pick at €349 versus €649 for the Casper, and it offers a longer 200-night trial versus Casper’s 100 nights. The Casper Original is the better choice if you sleep hot or want zoned shoulder relief, thanks to its perforated Airscape top layer.

How long do memory foam mattresses last in Germany?

A memory foam mattress in Germany typically lasts 7–10 years. High-density foams of 35 kg/m³ or more, such as the Bruno mattress, can last up to 12 years. Lower-density budget foams below 30 kg/m³ may show body impressions after 3–5 years.

Are memory foam mattresses good for back pain?

Yes, medium-firm memory foam mattresses rated H2 to H3 are widely recommended for back pain because they support the lumbar region while relieving pressure on the shoulders and hips. The Emma Original and Casper Original are both rated ‘gut’ by Stiftung Warentest for orthopaedic support.

Do memory foam mattresses sleep hot?

Traditional memory foam can trap body heat, but modern German mattresses counter this with open-cell or gel-infused foams. The Casper Original uses a perforated Airscape layer and the Emma Original uses Airgocell foam, both of which sleep noticeably cooler than older visco-elastic models.

Which memory foam mattress is best for side sleepers?

The Bruno Matratze is the best memory foam mattress for side sleepers in Germany, thanks to its high-density 35 kg/m³ memory foam that cushions the shoulder and hip. The Casper Original is a close second, with its Zoned Support layer that softens under the shoulder.

Can I try a memory foam mattress at home in Germany?

Yes, most direct-to-consumer memory foam brands in Germany offer in-home trials. Emma offers 200 nights, Casper and Bruno offer 100 nights, and Sleep Hero offers 30 nights. If you do not like the mattress, the brand collects it free of charge and refunds you in full.

What firmness of memory foam mattress should I choose?

Choose H2 (medium) if you are a side sleeper under 90 kg, H3 (firm) if you are a back or stomach sleeper or weigh 90–110 kg, and H4 (very firm) if you weigh over 110 kg. The Sleep Hero mattress is the only one in this guide that lets you flip between H2 and H3.

How we chose

We evaluated 14 memory foam mattresses sold in Germany in 2025, narrowing the list to 5 finalists based on five weighted criteria: Stiftung Warentest scores where available, Amazon.de star ratings with at least 1,000 reviews, foam density (kg/m³), total mattress height, and trial-period length. Prices were verified on Amazon.de and brand websites in January 2025 and reflect the standard 90×200 cm size. Each mattress was assessed for pressure relief, motion isolation, edge support, temperature regulation, off-gassing, and warranty terms. We cross-checked claims against independent reviews from Stiftung Warentest, Chip, and Computer Bild, and excluded mattresses that did not meet German flammability standards (DIN EN 597) or lacked OEKO-TEX certification. The final ranking prioritises overall value, so a €159 budget model and a €649 premium model are judged within their own tier.
