Mattress toppers: why you might want one

A mattress topper is an additional layer of padding that can be added to the top of an existing mattress to make it more luxurious, softer, and to protect the mattress underneath.

Mattress covers come in many shapes and are filled with many different materials, all offering different sleeping characteristics. Elastic corner straps are stretched or used to tie around the existing mattress.

The most common mattress fillers are memory foam memory foam, duck feathers and down, pure wool, natural latex, and synthetic foams. Each of these fillers offers slightly different compression properties and will therefore adapt to different sleepers.

Most mattress toppers (with the exception of memory foam) will be padded in shape and look similar to a conventional quilt. The big difference is that you sleep on top of them instead of under them. Also, their function is to provide quilting rather than heat, so they tend to have a "more elastic" feel than quilts.

Why have a mattress pad?

First of all, many mattresses can be firm and some even feel hard. A mattress pad adds an extra layer of cushioning that gives the bed a softer, more relaxing feel.

Mattress covers are ideal for anyone who wakes up feeling stiff or as if sleeping on too firm a surface. The extra padding of an ornament can make a big difference to any firm mattress and can help provide restful sleep.

Second, a mattress pad can allow a conventional spring-based bed to take advantage of one of the newer bedding technologies, such as memory foam memory foam. Materials like memory foam, latex and gel provide a highly moldable top sleeping layer with the ability to contour to anyone's unique body curves. Many in the medical profession now recommend mattresses and decorations made from these materials.

Third, most modern "composite style" beds mix a standard spring-based mattress with a top layer of another material like memory foam to get the best of both worlds. A memory foam mattress or latex mattress has the same effect, but without the need to buy a new mattress.

Finally, the mattress trims add a warm, lush feel to a standard mattress and allow anyone to customize their sleeping environment by adding this extra layer of cushioning. With fillers available in numerous foams, wool, feathers, and even gel, there is something for everyone who sleeps. In addition, good quality trims can also extend the life of an existing mattress and protect it from stains and spills for more information visit: smart choice review
