Expecting cold weather? In that case, Homescapes’ deep-quilted fleece topper could be handy to have around the house.

The 3cm deep foam mattress topper features an innovative profiled design which is designed to relieve joint pain and muscle stress, so you can have a peaceful and relaxing night’s sleep whilst reducing pressure points. The ergonomic design also encourages airflow to prevent overheating. Bodyweight: Your weight will have a crucial role when choosing your topper. Generally speaking, if you are a heavier person (weighing more than 230 pounds), a soft or medium-firm density may not offer you enough support to help with your pain, and a firmer option may be best. On the other hand, a lighter person may find a medium-firm or firm option that suits them fine.

REMOVABLE COVER: Fully removable cover that is machine washable to keep your topper feeling fresh and hygienic. Price: Toppers vary in price and differ in terms of the quality of materials used and construction. More expensive toppers typically use more durable materials that are less likely to deteriorate and may have additional beneficial characteristics (like temperature regulation and hypoallergenic properties). Cheaper toppers are available for those with a lower budget or people looking for a short term fix. These toppers may offer the required comfort; however, they may have a shorter lifespan and not provide the additional benefits mentioned above. A mattress topper is an added layer of material that can be inserted or attached between your mattress and bed sheets (or mattress protector) to get the best out of your bed.

This can mean certain types of topper work best for certain uses: for example, those made with foam tend to offer the best support for those with muscular pain or who prefer a firmer feel, while toppers made with organic materials are ideal for people with allergies or aversions to synthetics. To give you a feel for the range of options on offer, we’ve reviewed toppers made with a wide variety of materials and specialisms. Sleeping position: The position in which you sleep is crucial as it will determine which body parts press into the mattress, where pressure may build up, and ultimately how optimally the spine is aligned. Sleeping position and mattress topper firmness should be considered together.

How we tested mattress toppers This topper is composed of a 3rd generation gel-infused memory foam (Hydro foam™) that uses open cell cooling technology which involves small heat-sensitive capsules that react to your body temperature and expand when the memory foam warms. The space between the cells releases heat which ensures that you stay cool and foam stays supportive. In addition, this foam fits every sleeper uniquely and retains its shape and density over time. The removable bamboo cover is soft and breathable, antibacterial, hypoallergenic and sustainably and organically grown. It is also removable and washable. In addition, there is an anti-slip layer of dotted silicon on the bottom of this topper, and elastic straps are on each corner to allow easy attachment to your mattress.
