True Support for Better Sleep— & Dorm Life
#1 - Longer Lasting, Supportive Foam
Unlike softer, sink-heavy toppers, Viscosoft’s high-density gel memory foam delivers a level of support that matters—especially when your sleep space doubles as your everything space. It contours where you need comfort (hips, shoulders, back), but stays firm enough to promote healthy spinal alignment through late-night study sessions and early-morning alarms.
But in a college dorm, your bed isn’t just a bed—it’s your couch, your desk, your hangout spot. That’s why Viscosoft’s high-density foam features reinforced edge support that resists collapse when you're sitting, stretching, or lounging on the side. It holds up when friends pile on to watch a movie, and stays comfortable when you're powering through finals with a laptop in your lap.
Sit, study, or sleep—this is comfort that holds up all day, not just overnight.


Cooler. Cleaner. Certified.
#2 - Softer, Cooler, Breathable Fabric
The OEKO-TEX® certified bamboo-rayon cover isn’t just an afterthought—it’s designed with purpose. From top to bottom, it delivers on comfort, breathability, durability, and hygiene. The fabric wicks away heat and moisture, feels ultra-soft to the touch, and promotes airflow to keep you cool through even the hottest dorm nights.
It also features an anti-slip mesh backing to keep the topper securely in place, even on slick dorm mattresses. And when life (or late-night snacks) gets messy, the cover zips off easily and is machine washable—no special care required. This isn’t a basic, branded slipcover—it’s functional design that actually supports better sleep and easier living.


Personalize your bed the way you want
#3 - More Options for Comfort
No two sleepers are alike—and your mattress topper shouldn’t be one-size-fits-all. Viscosoft gives you the freedom to choose from 2", 3", and 4" thickness options, so you can dial in the exact level of comfort you want.
- Go with 2" for a gentle cushion that softens a firm mattress without too much height.
- Choose 3" for the perfect balance of contouring and support—ideal for most dorm beds.
- Or upgrade to 4" for a plush, luxurious feel that transforms even the thinnest dorm mattress into a true sleep sanctuary.
Sleepyhead only offers two thicknesses (2" and 3")—meaning fewer options and less personalization.


More time to get acquainted with your topper
#4 - Longer Sleep Trial Period
Buying a mattress topper shouldn’t be a gamble. That’s why Viscosoft gives you a full 90-day risk-free trial—an entire month longer than Sleepyhead’s 60-day return window. You get three full months to sleep on it, study on it, binge-watch from it, and recover after midterms on it—in real-life dorm conditions.
Not sure if the firmness is right for you? Wondering if it’ll hold up through late nights and long naps? You’ll have time to find out. And if it’s not the upgrade you hoped for, returns are hassle-free.
More time. Less pressure. Better sleep, guaranteed.


premium comfort, fraction of the cost
#5 - More Affordable & Better Quality
Better sleep doesn’t have to break your budget. At under $160, the Viscosoft Select High Density Topper costs less than half the price of the Sleepyhead Gel Topper, which rings in at a steep $399 for the same Twin XL size 3".
That’s a savings of over $240—without compromising on quality. You’re not just getting a better price; you’re getting more value. Sleepyhead’s price may carry a student-friendly brand, but Viscosoft delivers the real dorm-life upgrade—at a price that’s actually friendly to students and parents alike.


free, fast shipping
#6 - Faster Shipping & Free Returns
Dorm life moves fast—and your sleep upgrade should too. Viscosoft ships every order free, with same-day shippingwhen you order by 2 PM EST. Most customers receive their topper in just 2–3 days, so you can upgrade your bed before your next exam, not after the semester ends.
In contrast, Sleepyhead takes 2–6 business days to ship, meaning you could be stuck waiting nearly a week just for your order.
With Viscosoft, you're not only getting better comfort—you’re getting it faster, and without hidden fees. Because when your bed is your desk, couch, and crash pad, you shouldn't have to wait for better sleep.
