The good news is a mattress Topper can offer that
sinking envelope feeling that some people crave when they're going
to bed.
The bad they aren't a cure all.
Considering the mattress Topper, it's important to know what a
mattress Topper can and can't do.
A mattress Topper can help relieve pressure points for back
and side sleepers,
and it can also make a good mattress feel even
more comfortable.
CR checks mattress toppers for support.
And this test measures how much heat each Topper retains
a concern for people that sleep hot or cold.
After that, it's a lot about personal preferences.
Memory foam toppers offer that sinking in feeling,
but that's sinking in tends to trap more heat,
so keep that in mind if you sleep hot.
There's also latex, made from the SAP of rubber trees.
It offers a Springer feel and can be naturally cooling.
If you're craving a comfier,
fluffier feel, try wool, cotton feather,
and other fiber fills. Look for a Topper with straps
to help it stay put and a removable washable cover.
A Topper can add anywhere from 1 to 4 inches
to the height of your mattress,
so it's important to keep in mind when you're shopping
for sheets.
But before you spend the money on a Topper,
CR says take a look at your mattress.
So adding a mattress Topper to a caving,
sagging or non supportive mattress is not going to make
it more supportive or even more comfortable to sleep on.
At that point, you may just want to invest in
a new.
