Extra Value Mattress Toppers
If there’s one place you need to feel totally comfortable and relaxed, it’s your bed. This is your personal comfort zone - a place you can retreat to at the end of the day and look forward to a good night’s rest and uninterrupted sweet dreams.
Sleep in Luxurious Comfort
One of the simplest things you can do to make it even more welcoming and comfortable is add a mattress topper. This is simply a layer of padding that fits between your under sheet and mattress to give you extra support, softness and warmth. It will completely transform how your bed feels and instantly increase your comfort-level.
What to Look For:
Size: Toppers are made to fit most popular mattress sizes and usually have corner straps to hold them in place. Buy one that’s the right size for your bed to avoid flat or bulky edges. They are available in different depths, which vary depending on the type of filling and the level of support you are looking for. Anything less than 2” depth probably won’t feel very different in terms of comfort.
Fillings: As with duvets, you can choose between natural or synthetic fillings and each has its own benefits.
A mix of down and feather will make your bed feel softer and more luxurious - like sleeping on a cloud - yet still provide the level of support you need for a good night’s rest. It also breathes, providing extra warmth in winter and staying cool in the summer.
If you suffer from asthma or are allergic to feathers, there are several hypoallergenic and anti-bacterial synthetic fillings available.
Memory foam toppers mould themselves to your body shape as you sleep, providing extra support for your spine. Perfect if you suffer from backache or often wake up with a stiff neck.
A word of warning: A topper will make any mattress feel more comfortable and give you a better night’s sleep, but they can’t work miracles. If your mattress is lumpy, collapsing and has really had it, don’t waste your money trying to make do with a topper - it’s not substitute for a new mattress!
