For this reason, we have written this article. The post is intended to share everything we know about mattress mattress toppers with a soft or plush feel. Once you understand the benefits and drawbacks of a soft topper, you can decide if a topper with these characteristics is right for you.
The level of firmness
Mattress toppers have 3 firmness levels:
- Hard or firm: a firm mattress topper offers good support for an old or sagging mattress.
- Balanced: delivers a universal feel, neither too hard nor too soft, mainly recommended by our specialists for multi-position sleepers.
- Soft or plush: usually memory foam mattress toppers with lots of padding or even feather, down or cotton mattress toppers .
The softest and most bouncy mattress toppers on the market are polyester, feather and down mattress toppers. If you really want to sink into the bed, we advise you to opt for our premium hybrid memory foam mattress topper.

Especially since its foam is infused with gel, which regulates the temperature and optimizes air circulation! What better way to create a cool and pleasant sleep environment on warm summer nights? 😎
