The Emma mattresses are now available to purchase from our Emmaus Oxford eBay shop: https://www.ebay.co.uk/str/emmausox
Proceeds from the sale of the mattresses, which have already started to sell quickly, will go to the ongoing costs of providing support to 28 formerly homeless people at our community home in Oxford Road, Cowley.
Eddie Blaze, Chief Executive at Emmaus Oxford, said: “Huge thanks to Emma Sleep UK for their generous donation of a number of reconditioned mattresses to stock in our shops.
“They’re in brand new condition and on sale now in our eBay store for a fraction of the retail price. Thank you, Emma. This donation will help us generate the income needed to provide a safe and stable home for those experiencing homelessness in Oxford.”
All proceeds will go towards our vital work providing a home, training, work opportunities and individual support to people who have experienced homelessness. People supported by Emmaus Oxford – known as companions – gain skills, confidence and experience by working alongside local volunteers in their social enterprise.
Dr Dennis Schmoltzi, CEO and co-founder at Emma – The Sleep Company, said: “At Emma, we strongly believe that everyone deserves a great nights’ sleep, no matter the circumstance. With this partnership and donation, we really wanted to use the power of sleep to raise vital funds for Emmaus Oxford.”
The mattress donation to Emmaus Oxford is part of a national charity partnership between Emma and Emmaus UK that will see the brand launch a range of fundraising activities throughout 2023. Through this first stage of support, £500,000 worth of mattresses have been donated to 30 Emmaus communities across the UK.

Emma’s mission is to help people awaken their best through a great nights’ sleep and it is revolutionising the sleep industry with its use of smart technology, world-class engineering and its industry-leading in-house sleep lab.
