What is a mattress topper?
A mattress topper is an extra layer of comfort added to your existing mattress for increased softness, comfort, protection, and longevity.
Does my mattress require a topper?
They are designed to enhance your bed, adding extra comfort and making a good-quality mattress even more comfortable. Its primary function is to soften a firm mattress and improve its comfort. Using one can make an old and uncomfortable mattress more tolerable. It also safeguards the mattress, keeping it clean and extending its lifespan.
What thickness of mattress topper should I select?
Generally, the thickness determines its softness. For a slightly firmer mattress, a 5cm thick option can enhance its comfort. If your mattress is significantly firm and uncomfortable, 8cm provides more cushioning and is a better choice. It's important to remember that toppers can soften a mattress, but they cannot make it firmer.
Which mattress topper is best?
The 'best' depends on your specific needs and preferences. Factors to consider include your desired level of firmness, whether you want temperature regulation, and if you have any allergies. Memory foam is excellent for conforming to your body shape and reducing pressure points, while latex offer a cooler sleep surface and are hypoallergenic. Feather and down toppers provide a plush feel, but they may not be suitable for those with allergies. To determine the 'best' mattress topper, consider these factors and explore our range to find the perfect fit for your sleep needs.
