What is a Mattress Topper?

Do I need a Topper?
A mattress topper isn’t essential to a good night’s sleep, but it can often be an affordable solution to a host of mattress problems without breaking the bank.
Eight reasons why you should consider buying a topper!
Your current mattress is too firm.
Whilst a mattress topper won’t actually soften a firm mattress, it can rejuvenate a tired or compressed mattress for a couple more years of comfort. Softening the top feel of the mattress helping to relieve some of the pressure points during the night.
Your current mattress is uncomfortable, but you can’t afford a new one.
We’ve all been there! Buying a new mattress can be a major investment and finding the right mattress as a price that is affordable for your personal financial circumstances is not always easily achievable. A mattress topper is cost effective way of softening up your uncomfortable mattress and will give you time to save up for the mattress of your dreams.
You’re in furnished rental accommodation and you can’t get rid of the mattress that came with the property.
I don’t know about you, but I’ll never forget the horrors of my university mattress! Getting stuck with a mattress that comes with your rental property isn’t always ideal – a mattress topper is a perfect solution to incorporating both sleep comfort and a bit of space between you and the mattress. And you’ll be able to take the topper away with you to use again and again (may we also suggest a couple of protectors)!!
You’re overheating on your current mattress.
Struggling with hot, sweaty nights? One of our Cottonsafe® mattress toppers may be the solution. Most synthetic mattresses are full of foam and nasty plastics which trap heat, our mattress toppers are packed full with breathable fibres which are great for temperature regulation and wicking away excess moisture.
Flipping your mattress is a struggle.
Flipping your mattress can be a struggle, particularly if you live alone. Adding a topper not only adds a layer of comfort but it is helps to distribute your weight across the top surface of the mattress, which means you only need to flip the topper, not the entire mattress.
You can feel the gap on your zip & link mattress.
A zip and link mattress is the bed mattress industries solution to problematic living spaces, occasionally people can feel the zip gap which runs down the length of the mattress. Our slimline Cotton Topper is the perfect way to eliminate this problem.
You want to sleep in a luxury hotel every night.
Just returned from a luxury 5-star resort weekend and your mattress that was absolutely fine last Thursday needs to feel a little more je ne sais quois? A topper can be a great way of making your mattress even more luxurious than it was before.
Your mattress is full of nasty chemicals.
Ok, ok, we know we bang on about this a bit, but most mattresses sold on the UK market are filled with kilos and kilos of nasty fire retardant chemicals which have been scientifically proven to be damaging to human health. They also have a significant impact on your sleep health and can lead to overheating and night sweating which can cause uncomfortable nights and listless days.
