A mattress topper is a comfort addition to new or recent bedding in good condition. It is most often found in a stretched fabric, without filling, made of memory foam.

1. The different compositions of mattress toppers

There are also different composition variations:

• Polyester fiber: certainly inexpensive but you need to count on a minimum of 1500 gr/m² to really benefit from the comfort.
• Feather and down: very soft but make sure you have a high weight per m2 so as not to suffer from the crushing of the feathers/down over time.
• Latex: It is known for its bounce and elasticity, which facilitates movement in bed. However, this material does not provide the soft feeling of a foam mattress topper.
• Memory foam: the most common material. Reduces pressure on painful joints with excellent comfort.
• Soft foam: this is probably the most suitable technology for this accessory, both very comfortable and economically affordable.

2. Why use a mattress topper?

The mattress topper will instantly add comfort to your mattress; it will not only soften the welcome, but also support your body whatever position you adopt to fall asleep. It is very effective in relieving back pain or other sensitive parts of the body: shoulders, pelvis; its flexibility means it adapts to all body shapes.

3. The advantages of the mattress topper

When we sleep, we release heat and moisture (perspiration) to varying degrees, depending on the individual. Combined with our weight, these natural phenomena cause the upper layers of all mattresses to deteriorate.

The mattress topper is not attached to the mattress , which will allow it to ventilate much better. Your bedding is much healthier. The foams offered in foam mattress toppers generally have densities greater than 30kg, they are therefore more resistant to natural phenomena (the density of a foam has very little impact on comfort, but has a direct relationship with durability). The mattress is no longer subject to heat and nighttime perspiration, its lifespan will considerably increase or even double.

Every year, the French throw away 5,000,000 tons of mattresses. Using a mattress topper significantly reduces our environmental impact, reduces our consumption of fossil-based products (foam), and allows you to make substantial savings. A mattress topper is easy to clean and replace (on average every 6 years).

4. How to use your mattress topper properly?

First of all, you need to choose a mattress topper that is the same size as the mattress. Place it directly on the mattress, add the bedding protector that will hold it easily without the risk of it slipping, and add the fitted sheet . Check the height of the bonnet (30cm recommended) to properly cover the mattress/mattress topper assembly. Use the mattress topper on a mattress in good condition because it will not give new life to a mattress that is already sagging. You then have high-end bedding that will be comfortable for years to come.
