Sleep Editor

Emilia was formerly the resident Sleep Writer at Homes & Gardens, where she specialised in mattresses, bedding and sleep wellness. She spent her time researching and reviewing the best sleep products on the market, from affordable everyday essentials to luxury mattresses and bedding, combining rigorous testing with expert-led advice.

As part of her role, Emilia led a team of testers across America to identify the best mattresses for every sleep style, body type and budget. Her passion for understanding better sleep took her around the world, including visits to the 3Z mattress factory in Glendale, Arizona and the Hästens headquarters in Köping, Sweden, where she gained firsthand insight into mattress craftsmanship and sleep innovation. Emilia also interviewed leading experts across the bedding and interiors industries, including luxury bedding designers at Shleep and Pure Parima, as well as IKEA’s Design Manager, helping readers better understand everything from materials and construction to sleep-focused design.

Before joining Homes & Gardens, Emilia studied English at the University of Oxford, where she developed the analytical and editorial skills that shaped her writing career.
