Mattress toppers have always been popular in Australia. They can significantly change how a mattress feels to sleep on, and they offer an economical solution for those with an old, uncomfortable mattress.
However, with so many products on the market, finding the best mattress topper (for your needs) is a certainly challenge.
What is a mattress topper?
A mattress topper is a seperate layer (usually of foam) that can be placed on top of a mattress. Mattress toppers are used for a variety of reasons, but the most common would be to improve the comfort and/or support of an existing mattress.
Ecosa Topper (on the Ecosa Mattress)
Mattress toppers can vary in depth, but most will sit between 4 cm and 8 cm in height. Generally speaking, the thicker the topper, the more softness it will add to your mattress. As an example, the Ecosa Topper (pictured above) is 5 cm thick.
What are mattress toppers made of?
Mattress toppers will typically have a polyester fabric cover that encases a main body of foam. Many of these covers are removable and washable, like on the Zeek Top Notch Topper.
The main body of a mattress topper is usually made from particular foams (e.g. memory foam) but some are also made of latex (e.g. Peacelily Mattress Topper).
As you would expect, mattress toppers vary in quality and thickness. This will influence the level of comfort and support that they offer.
When should I use a mattress topper?
As we alluded to earlier, a mattress topper can be useful in a number of different situations.
Possibly the most common application for a mattress topper, is use with an old (usually uncomfortable) mattress. This may provide an additional layer of comfort and support, and may extend the life of the mattress.
Peacelily Topper (on the Peacelily Mattress)
Even though a mattress topper may provide additional comfort or support to your current mattress, it won’t always compensate for a mattress that is performing poorly (e.g. too old, not suitable for your body shape). If this is the case, purchasing a new mattress is strongly recommended.
As well as adding some comfort to your mattress, a mattress topper can be a great temporary sleep option (e.g. to use on the floor), or a space saving option for kids sleepovers!
How do I choose a mattress topper?
There is a huge range of mattress toppers available on the market. They vary greatly in price, quality, and composition. Not surprisingly, making a final decision is not easy.
