Many people misunderstand the purpose of a mattress topper, with households up and down the country using them to protect their mattress. While this is definitely a feature, a mattress topper can do so much more to improve your sleep environment. They can be an important part of getting a great night’s sleep, so don’t discard the thought of one until you really know the benefits!
While your mattress could definitely profit from having an extra layer to prolong its life and condition, a mattress topper has the ability to enhance your sleep quality.
Choosing a mattress topper
Choosing to have a mattress topper on your bed will increase the longevity and comfort of your mattress. While it’s perfectly fine to opt out of having one, you won’t know what you’re missing! Some mattresses will come with a topper already integrated, but if yours doesn’t then you can buy individual mattress toppers very easily!
You should make sure that the one you choose complements your bed, and has a design that is going to make a difference. After all, there is little point in buying a thin mattress topper if you have a deep, plush mattress! If you feel as though you’ve already spent enough money on a mattress and are wondering what the point is of an additional topper, it’s simple; even more comfort. You will probably find that your mattress lasts a little longer too.
The benefits
A mattress topper will definitely increase the longevity of your mattress for a number of reasons. It can add a protective layer that will keep your mattress that bit more hygienic, keeping any perspiration or bacteria away. However, this is the main function of a mattress protector, so bear that in mind if that’s your first priority.
As time goes on, your mattress will come across natural wear and tear; often beginning to sag as the years go on. A mattress topper can take the brunt of this, protecting the mattress; you can then simply replace the topper when you need to.
However, the main benefit of a mattress topper is to provide additional comfort. Responsive mattress toppers will respond to your body movement and keep you comfortable, while memory foam toppers add that layer of luxurious contouring to help you drift off to sleep. Mattress toppers will take on different constructions depending on their purpose; you may come across dual layer toppers to provide double comfort or support too.
So, if you’re hoping for a way of making your quality mattress even better to sleep on every night, buying a mattress topper can ensure you’re well on your way for a better night’s sleep.
Paired with a great duvet and comfortable pillows, you can create an excellent sleep environment that will have you looking forward to bedtime!
