Choosing
the Right Mattress Topper
A mattress topper is basically a layer of padding that is placed on top of your mattress to improve the quality of your sleeping surface. The addition of a
mattress topper is a relatively inexpensive way to upgrade the comfort of your existing bed without having to replace the entire mattress. Mattress toppers
come in a variety of materials, including down, memory foam, poly-base foam, quilted cotton, latex and combinations of the above that can provide a
pressure-point relieving layer to your traditional coil or foam mattress. Mattress toppers are also available in organic and hypo-allergenic materials.
A mattress topper is an easy and inexpensive way to transform the surface of your mattress without making a huge dent in your wallet.
Latex Mattress Toppers
|
Latex is the only foam derived from the pure sap of the rubber tree.
Because
it is a natural, porous and biodegradable product, a latex mattress
topper
allows your skin to breathe as you sleep, remaining cool in the
summer and warm
in the winter. Latex mattress toppers conform to your body's
contours as you
shift your sleeping position and provide natural, orthopedic support
for your
spine, neck, shoulders and limbs. Latex mattress toppers are designed to
equalize weight and pressure and are are especially recommended for
those who may be
bothered by the restless movements of their partner, because they do not
transfer motion.

100% natural latex mattress toppers are eco-
friendly, elastic and
durable and the perfect solution for people with allergies or chemical
sensitivities who need to reduce the synthetic materials in their
sleeping
environment. Latex mattress toppers are naturally anti-microbial,
hypo-allergenic and
resistant to dust mites, mold and bacteria. They are available in
100% organic
models as well as organic and synthetic blends which are a little
more durable
and consistent. Much lighter and easier to transport than an entire
mattress,
a latex mattress topper is an economical way to add the benefits of
latex to
your present sleeping surface.
Memory Foam Mattress Toppers
A memory foam mattress topper can add the benefits of memory foam's
support
and durability to your bed at a reasonable cost. Like memory foam
mattresses,
memory foam mattress toppers provide neck and back support and reduce
pressure
points while conforming to your body's natural contours more
precisely than
other types of mattress toppers. Memory foam supports all weights and
types of
sleeping positions: back, side or stomach with the same level of
cushioning and
comfort. When purchasing a memory foam mattress topper make sure it is
engineered at high density so that it will maintain its long-lasting
support. The
optimum density for a memory foam mattress topper is 3 pounds or more
and
generally it will be between 2-3 inches thick.
Down Mattress Toppers (Feather Beds)
Down mattress toppers add a layer of luxury and cushioning to your
bed and
are available in a variety of natural and hypo-allergenic goose down
and feather
combinations. A down mattress topper is a great way to soften the
effects of
a too-firm coil or foam mattress without losing the level of support
that you
may require. Down mattress toppers are available in a variety of
densities. Sleeping on
a down mattress topper is akin to the sensation of laying on a large,
luxurious down pillow.
A down mattress topper will mold to your body and cradle you in
softness. Down
mattress toppers are available in hypoallergenic and washable models
and are
naturally durable and resilient.
