Which Mattress Toppers Are Best? The addition of a layer of cushioning can make your bed more comfortable. It can help relieve the pressure on joints. Which mattress toppers are best? Dr. Holliday-Bell recommends this organic option for those who need the conforming support of memory foam, but prefer to stay clear of chemicals. It comes with an easy-to-clean cover and the firmness options allow most sleepers to find their comfort. 1. Sleep Innovations Gel Memory Foam Topper This topper is soft enough for most people to be comfortable with, but it's not sacrificing support. Our testers were impressed with how it molded to their bodies, providing support in all the right places. It can also be fitted to most mattresses although it's tricky to get the sheets on (read more about how to install mattress toppers here). The thick memory foam layer is machine-washable and naturally anti-bacterial. It also comes with the cover with a quilted design made of bamboo that is sustainable and sourced from sustainable sources. It is also hypoallergenic. It was a popular choice of our panelists, though it's important to remember that it doesn't have any straps to help anchor the topper to your mattress as it can shift as you sleep. The panelists who loved this topper also appreciated the fact that it eased back pain. It's also a great option for heavier sleepers, who might find that a deeper topper such as this one – three to four inches—provides more relief from pressure points in sensitive areas such as shoulders and hips. A two-inch layer copper-infused memory-foam helps to wick away heat and encourages airflow to ensure an ice-cold sleep. The top layer was firm enough to ease her pressure in the back, front and side sleeping positions, but not too rigid that it made her uncomfortable. She also noticed that the back pain “pretty quickly disappeared over the course of the night.” She was awed by how quiet the mattress is, too, even when paired with an extremely soft mattress. The topper is also good for couples sharing beds since it blocks motion transfer. 2. Coop Home Goods Retreat We adore the soft and luxurious feel of Coop Home Goods' mattress toppers and when this spot-clean only version was discovered in our research, we knew it was a must to be included. It's made of the brand's crosscut memory foam and microfiber blend that's hypoallergenic, and ideal for anyone who wants to upgrade the mattress they have or re-energize a bed in a dorm room, guest room, or rental home. This topper is unique as it has five zones of different densities. It molds to your body and provides enough support. The cover of this topper is made of 100 percent microfiber that has been brushed. It features a baffle box design that makes pockets that evenly distribute the fill. The topper is also equipped with four elastic straps at each corner that aid in keeping it in place on your mattress. The copper-infused memory helps to wick away heat from the body and keeps you cool throughout the night. It's finished off with two” layer of ventilated memory to provide more airflow. The Retreat is the best mattress topper for those who want a plush feel. Louise, a Strategist writer, stated that when she tried it, the topper quickly adjusted and cradled so that she was comfortable and well-supported. She tends to get hot in bed but the Retreat managed to keep her cool and didn't move much during the night. It's available in two firmness options and back, side and stomach sleepers will find it suits their preferences. 3. Nolah Beds Luxury Firm Memory Foam Topper There are many options available when you're in search of a mattress topper. Some are designed to aid in keeping you cool or regulate your temperature, while others provide a little extra support or comfort. A mattress topper is an excellent way to increase the comfort of your bed without spending an excessive amount of money. A memory foam topper is a good choice for the majority of sleepers, however should you prefer the bouncy feel of an innerspring mattress think about a hybrid mattress that combines latex with tiny nano-springs. For those who sleep on their sides and backs, a firmer topper will better align your spine and reduce pressure on sensitive areas. Our test participant Julia was impressed with the four-inch topper made by Tempur It is manufactured in the US and comes with a remarkable 120-night trial. She was happy with the added convenience and quality of sleep it brought. There was a distinct off-gassing smell upon opening it, but that went away after a few days. This firm option from Parachute offers shredded memory foam that is not as dense, but feels comfortable. Lauren Levy, a Strategist contributor, says it's “much cheaper than a down topper” and has similar marshmallow softness. She liked sleeping on it, but wouldn't recommend it for front sleepers due to her torso got smashed by the top. A topper made from natural wool fleece is hypoallergenic and soft. However, it's not as comfortable as memory foam and can make you feel warm in the night. Cotton is a good choice, as it is air-conditioned and keeps you cool. Some topper fabrics are infused with graphite, copper and gel infusions that help keep you cool. 4. Sleep Innovations Gel Cooling Memory foam topper This Puffy topper is a great option for those on a budget, providing a soft, gentle support that eases pressure at an affordable price. It comes in a variety different density and thickness options to ensure you get the best fit for your bed. Lauren Levy, a Strategist contributor, was awed by the fact that this topper is “marshmallow-soft” and features a baffle box construction with the appearance of a pillow with a fiber-fill. It's also hypoallergenic, and comes with a machine washable cover to help maintain the hygiene of your bed. The 2” layer of copper-infused memory is designed to promote airflow and wick the body of moisture when you sleep. This helps you remain cool. Even though it's not as bouncy the same bounce as latex toppers, Levy found it to be extremely supportive. It's ideal for people who sleep on their backs, sides or stomachs, and for those suffering from chronic pain. A 10-year guarantee and free shipping come standard. This topper can be cleaned easily; simply spot-clean and let it air dry. Be sure not to put it in the dryer or washer because it will invalidate the warranty. The Sleep Innovations Gel Cooling Memory Foam Topper is a great budget option for a comfortable, supportive mattress. It has a moderate (5) firmness, which makes it good for most sleepers, but more so for those who feel their mattresses are too firm. It also prevents motion transfer which is a must for combination sleepers. Similar to the Coop Home Goods Retreat topper, it provides relief from pressure for shoulder and neck pain. The only drawback to this topper is that it might not be as air-tight as polyfoam or latex which is why it's not the best for hot sleepers. 5. Nolah Beds Luxury Plush Memory Foam Topper The Nolah Beds Luxury Plush Memory Foam Topper provides a great option for side sleepers and back sleepers looking to soften the firmness of their mattress. This topper can also help reduce pressure points, making it a good choice for those with chronic pain. It's made in the USA with non-toxic materials and is a great choice for hot sleepers as well. It has a 2” layer of copper-infused foam which promotes breathability as well as providing support. It also comes with an organic cotton cover that provides optimal moisture management. The topper was discovered by our test subject Paige to be very efficient in blocking motion transfer. It also offered substantial softness without losing any support. However, she noticed that the edges did not fully wrap around her mattress. If support for edges is important to you, this may not be the right topper for you. The cover is removable and machine washable, which makes it easy to clean. It's also hypoallergenic as well as antibacterial, which ensures you a comfortable and healthy sleep. It's also made with five body zones to support different areas of the mattress. It also comes with a guarantee and a sleep trial of 120 nights, which is much longer than the policies of competitors. This is among the more affordable options in our roundup, but it doesn't skimp on quality. It's made from a mixture of latex and memory foam which provides a luxuriously soft feel to any mattress. It's got a thicker layer of memory foam to provide additional comfort and promote an unwinding sleep. While it may not be the ideal choice for stomach sleepers since it can sink too much and can cause misalignment of the spine, it's a solid option for those who are seeking a better night's sleep for less.
