Looking for a mattress topper? This very thin mattress, which complements your main mattress and enhances its comfort, can be chosen from different technologies and sizes according to your needs.
What is a mattress topper for?
The mattress topper, which is placed directly on your mattress, has many advantages, especially since it can be aired out more easily and, depending on its size, can be machine washed.
The mattress topper can thus fulfill several purposes:
- protect your mattress from stains and wear.
- improve the reception of your mattress, either by adding softness to it or conversely firmness if it is aging, for example.
- counterbalance the somewhat basic comfort of a sofa bed mattress, for example.
- connect two single mattresses together to no longer feel the gap between them.
How to choose a mattress topper?
Many bedding brands (Bultex, Dodo, Emma, Hypnia, Tempur...) offer mattress toppers to choose from different technologies according to your desires and needs:
- foam: it brings more comfort. High resilience, this foam distributes pressure better and provides firmer support.
- memory foam: it is made of high-density polyurethane foam that slightly deforms under body heat to contour to the body. This type of topper thus brings flexibility to your mattress and alleviates pressure points.
- latex: whether natural or synthetic, it adds elasticity and guarantees better sleeping independence. It also guarantees very good ventilation.
- down: actually made from a mix of feathers and down, it adds softness and warmth.
- bamboo: it is breathable, antibacterial, and hypoallergenic. You could also opt for a topper with just the bamboo ticking (the fabric covering the mattress), combined, for example, with memory foam filling.
- cotton: easy to maintain, it is also breathable.
- heated: plug-in to warm up the bed in just a few minutes.
- cooling: it improves sleep comfort by using either gel, which provides an immediate sensation of coolness, or water set to the desired temperature through an air conditioner for continuous freshness.
What size mattress topper should you choose?
The mattress topper should have exactly the same dimensions as your mattress. Choose:
- For a single bed: a mattress topper of 80 x 190/200 cm or 90 x 190/200 cm.
- For a Full (1.5 persons) bed: a mattress topper of 120 x 190/200 cm.
- For a double bed: a mattress topper of 140 x 190/200 cm.
- For a Queen Size bed: a mattress topper of 160 x 200 cm.
- For a King Size bed: a mattress topper of 180 x 200 cm.
- For a King Size XL bed: a mattress topper of 200 x 200 cm.
What thickness of mattress topper should you choose?
The thickness of the mattress topper can vary from 2 cm to more than 10 cm. Knowing that too thin, the mattress topper will not accomplish its mission in terms of comfort and that too thick, on the contrary, it risks giving too much softness to your bedding.
