HOW TO CHoosE thE

Many people think a mattress topper is a thin piece of foam placed on top of a mattress to make it less firm. Others consider a topper only to be helpful for keeping a mattress protected against dirt, spills and allergens, like dust. With these limited benefits in mind, thousands of consumers purchase ‘entry level’ products each year and find themselves disappointed with the product’s quality and durability. Having spent $50-$60 consumers are dissatisfied with their purchase because the foam tears easily, the topper slides at night and, in some cases, warms the bed contributing to night sweats and restless nights. Unfortunately, these consumers have little recourse because basic toppers do not come with a trial period or a product warranty.

Selecting the best topper for you

Our Top Five Features

Each person has their own unique reasons for considering a mattress topper. In addition to any preferences you have for feel, brand, materials, height, or other aspects of the product, we believe it's important to ask questions and understand how the topper performs in the following areas before making a final decision.

support

#1

As mattresses age they lose the ability to support your body the same way they did when they were new. A mattress topper made from quality foam will provide the pressure relief and balanced support your body needs to get a restful night sleep once again. A denser foam will be more supportive than those with lower densities. As a rule of thumb, identify toppers that identigy their foam’s density and have a preference for densities of at least 3 pounds per cubic foot.

temperature

#2

Most toppers are made of memory foam. But this material comes in several varieties. You need to know what to look for or you could end up with a product that makes you less comfortable at night. Basic memory foam will warm the bed. If you’re a hot sleeper, look for products made of gel-infused or copper-infused memory foam. These foams are more breathable and will keep your body from overheating easily.

cover

#3

While not a requirement for comfort and support, a quality cover is frequently included on toppers that have the highest review ratings amongst consumers. Covers protect the foam from wear and tear, extending the life of the product. In addition to increased durability, removable covers improve the hygiene of your bed because they can be washed and replaced (if necessary).

warranty

#4

The best topper brands have spent years perfecting their products, and they stand behind the quality with manufacturer warranties and money-back trial periods. These warranties provide consumers with the confidence of spending more money on a topper because it will last 3-4 times longer than cheaper toppers.
