Mattress Toppers

A topper is a thicker layer, often memory foam or latex, that changes the feel of the bed. A mattress pad is thinner and quilted, adding a bit of softness and protecting the surface. Both are in this collection, so check the thickness on the product page.

A 5 cm topper gives a subtle change in feel, while 7.5 to 8 cm makes a firm mattress noticeably softer. Thicker toppers raise the bed height, so check your fitted sheet pocket depth covers the mattress and topper together.

It depends on the type. Many bamboo pillowtop pads are machine washable, and some foam toppers have a removable cover you can wash. Solid foam itself shouldn't go in the washing machine. Check the care label and product page for each one.

Foam toppers are vacuum packed and rolled for delivery. Unroll it on the bed as soon as you can and give it time to recover its shape, usually a day or two. Airing the room helps a new foam smell fade.

It comes down to feel. Memory foam sinks and moulds to your body, which suits people who want pressure relief. Latex is springier and responsive, so you feel more on top of the bed. Compare the fill on each product page.

Buy the same size as your mattress, from single up to king. Then check the depth of the elastic skirt or pocket, so it grips a thick mattress. Some pads fit mattresses up to about 45 cm deep.
