What type of mattress topper is best?
Whether it is about firmness, breathability or reducing pressure points – the material you choose will be the biggest factor when choosing a mattress topper.
Memory foam mattress toppers are designed to contour to your body and can provide some pressure relief and support. However, depending on the material and the cover, memory foam mattress toppers may retain heat. If the mattress cover is made of a natural material such as cotton, this should not be an issue. There are also gel-infused memory foam mattress toppers that will keep you cool in summer.
Latex mattress topper are bouncy, durable and are naturally hypoallergenic which is great for allergy sufferers. They are quite firm and heavy which might take some getting use to if you sleep with a soft mattress.
Wool mattress toppers are perfect for temperature regulation by keeping you warm in winter and cool in summer. They are also naturally hypoallergenic which is perfect for allergy sufferers.
Cotton mattress toppers are soft, breathable and natural. Cotton is highly recommendation and very common among mattress toppers, however they are often more on the softer side which might mean less support.
Feather and down mattress toppers are plush and luxurious, providing extra cushioning for your sleep. Feather and down mattress toppers are also made of natural materials for those with allergies.
When choosing a mattress topper, consider how firm or soft you want your mattress to feel. If you tend to overheat during the night, opt for a natural material such as wool or cotton. For hypoallergenic properties, latex, wool, or organic cotton are good choices. For long-lasting durability, a latex or memory foam mattress will do the trick.
