3 Inch Mattress Pads

A 3 inch mattress pad is designed to provide a transformative comfort upgrade. Its primary job is to add a deep, significant layer of plush cushioning to a mattress that feels too firm. It's the ideal choice if you want to sink into that luxurious, "hotel bed" feeling and get substantial pressure relief without replacing your entire mattress.

That's a great question, as they do very different jobs. A mattress pad 3 inch thick is typically a pillow-top, filled with a plush, quilted down-alternative fiber. Its goal is surface softness. A 3-inch topper is usually a solid block of memory foam designed to add contouring support and fundamentally change the firmness of your bed. If you want to sink into a cloud, get a pad. If you need to add support or fix a lumpy mattress, you need a topper.

Yes. We designed our 3 inch mattress pad with a deep-pocketed, stretchy skirt. It easily accommodates the added thickness of the pad and your mattress (typically up to 18-20 inches deep), ensuring your fitted sheets stay snug and secure without popping off the corners

Absolutely. Our pads are available in all standard sizes. The 3 inch queen mattress pad is our most popular choice for upgrading master bedrooms, while the 3 inch mattress pad twin xl is the perfect solution for turning those notoriously firm college dorm beds into a genuinely comfortable sleep space

This is an important distinction: a mattress pad adds softness, but it is not designed to fix a sagging or unsupportive mattress. It's a plush layer that will follow the contours of whatever is beneath it. To add corrective, foundational support and help even out a mattress, you would need a high-density mattress topper.

That’s a common worry, but we designed our pads for cool comfort. Unlike dense foams that can trap heat, our 3 inch mattress pad uses a light, airy down alternative fill. The quilted design promotes constant airflow, ensuring you get all that plush softness without sleeping hot.

Yes, it’s an excellent choice for many side sleepers. If your current mattress feels too firm and causes pressure on your hips and shoulders, a 3 inch mattress pad adds a thick, substantial layer of cushioning to relieve those pressure points. It provides the plush comfort needed for a cozier night's sleep.
