Mattresses are a tough purchase — even if you get to try them out (thanks to 100-night return policies from many companies) or read reviews (like our very thorough tests). When you find yourself with one that’s just a little too firm or too soft, or that makes you sweat through your sheets, a mattress topper can close the gap between the almost there and the just right.

According to Bill Fish, a sleep-science coach and co-founder of the sleep-products site Tuck, buying a mattress topper is “a rather inexpensive method to fix an uncomfortable mattress without going through the process of purchasing a new mattress entirely.” Joe Auer, founder of the review site Mattress Clarity, agrees: “Some purchase one to revitalize an old bed that has lost its cushioning over time, or sometimes couples will disagree on the proper firmness of a bed and buy a mattress topper to place on one half of the bed.” Whatever your reasons for buying a mattress topper, you’ll want one that offers the exact feel you’re seeking — whether that’s firm and supportive or soft and plush. We asked 13 sleep-product pros to guide us through the various options on the market and point out the best of each type. Use the links below to jump to the type of topper you’re looking for, or read on to learn more about what to look for when you’re shopping for one.

Note: All prices are for a queen-size topper unless otherwise noted.

Best overall | Best (less expensive) overall | Best fiber-filled | Best latex | Best cooling | Best hybrid | Best multi-zone | Best (less expensive) multi-zone | Best down| Best down-alternative | Best micro-coil | Best firm | Best soft

Material: While there is some variety in firmness within mattress toppers made of the same material, the material is generally what determines a topper’s feel. Firmness “can affect not only one’s comfort but also back health,” explains Alex Savy, a sleep-science coach and founder of the sleep-product-review site SleepingOcean. In general, according to Savy, side sleepers should go with softer toppers, back sleepers with medium ones, and stomach sleepers with firm toppers. Since side sleeping is the most common sleeping position, it’s not surprising that “most people purchase a mattress topper to make their bed softer,” says Auer.

Memory foam, one of the most popular materials for mattress toppers, usually feels soft but can also sometimes run hot, so if you like the feel of foam, you may want to look for a cooling gel-infused variety or a topper with a fabric cover designed to react to your body temperature. Down-feather mattress toppers are soft and plush but can be more expensive and possibly trigger allergies, while down-alternative toppers offer the same softness in a hypoallergenic package. Fiber-filled mattress toppers (usually made from synthetic or polyester materials) are soft and often cheaper than down. Latex has a firmer feel and may be a good choice if your current mattress is too soft.

Thickness and density: The thickness, or height, of your mattress topper will also help determine how it feels. Typically ranging from one to five inches in height, thicker mattress toppers tend to feel plusher and offer a more noticeable difference compared to your bare mattress. Thinner mattress toppers can still feel comfortable but will make less of an impact. For memory foam fans, the density of your mattress topper is another important feature to note. The density refers to the weight per cubic foot and basically translates to how solid the foam is. Imagine a plastic bag filled with 100 packing peanuts, versus the same size bag filled with 50 packing peanuts. The bag of 100 will have a firmer and more dense feel, while the bag of 50 will still feel cushioned but not as supportive. Higher-density memory foam weighs about five pounds or more per cubic foot, while more moderate-density foam weighs around three to four pounds per cubic foot. Below, we’ve listed the thickness of each mattress topper, and the density when available, as not all brands provide that detail.

Cleaning: A mattress topper doesn’t need to be washed as frequently as your sheets and pillow cases, but it’s still a good idea to clean it every couple of months. Some mattress toppers are entirely machine washable, though whether you can do that at home or have to drag it to the laundromat depends on the size of your machine (if you have one at all). Others have removable covers that are more manageable for cleaning.

Trial period and warranty: It might take a few nights to decide if you picked the right mattress topper. Sometimes what feels great on the first night can feel saggy or too firm after a week, so lots of companies offer extended trial periods (usually up to 100 nights) to give you some time to determine whether the topper is right for you. Some brands offer warranties that cover your topper from defects for additional months or years. Just be sure to read the fine print: Companies that offer 100-night trials on mattresses don’t always offer the same terms on toppers, and return policies may vary depending on whether you buy the topper directly from the brand or from a third-party retailer like Amazon.

Tempur-Adapt Topper - Queen

$419 now 40% off

From $251

Memory foam | 3-inch thickness | Removable, machine-washable cover | Ten-year warranty

Tempur-Pedic is a leader in the sleep industry, known for its responsive memory-foam mattresses and pillows. As of August 2022, the brand has upgraded and replaced our previous pick for the best overall mattress topper, the Tempur-Supreme, with the renamed Tempur-Adapt. Similar to its predecessor (which was recommended to us by Sleepopolis writer Sarah Ricco because it is “exceptionally moldable” and offers “full-body pressure relief for sleepers of all styles”), the Tempur-Adapt topper is made of Tempur-Pedic’s proprietary foam and designed to offer consistent pressure relief and support.

At 3 inches thick, the Tempur-Adapt topper will add noticeable plushness to any mattress. (Meanwhile, if you are looking for one that’s a bit more low profile, Tempur-Pedic also sells a 2-inch-thick memory-foam topper called the Tempur-Cloud.) Zoë Ettinger, a sleep-science coach and the editor of Sleepopolis, says that the foam Tempur-Pedic uses in its mattress toppers “contours around your body almost as if it’s hugging you,” noting that because it is denser than others on the market, it is also more durable.

While the price of the renamed Tempur-Adapt is the same as the Tempur-Supreme topper, for an extra $80, you can now upgrade to a cooling cover. Both versions of the cover are removable and machine washable.

ViscoSoft 3 Inch Memory Foam Mattress Topper

$270 now 26% off

From $200

Memory foam | 3-inch thickness, 3.5-pound density | Removable, machine-washable bamboo-rayon cover | 60-day trial, five-year warranty

Like our best overall pick, this ViscoSoft mattress topper is made from high-density memory foam that experts say strikes the right balance between softness and support. Memory-foam mattress toppers “are the most popular due to the fact that they add comfort and relieve pressure,” according to Nick Robinson, the editor and publisher of the sleep-product review site Sleep Like the Dead. Robinson recommends this model with its three inches of plush memory foam. It’s also a favorite of Keith Cushner, co-founder and general manager of Tuck. “It’s really solid in terms of durability, the quality of the foam, and the experience all of our testers have had with it,” Cushner says. Even at the lower price point, it has premium features like a machine-washable bamboo-rayon cover and straps that hold the topper in place on your mattress. To help with cooling, the mattress is infused with pockets of gel that absorb and disperse body heat.

Slumber Cloud Core Mattress Pad

$244

$244

Fiber-filled | Thickness not listed | Machine washable | 60-night trial, 180-night warranty

If you want a topper that’s a bit firmer than memory foam — and without its tendency to retain heat — consider a fiber-filled mattress topper. Instead of being made from a solid block of foam, these are filled with synthetic or natural fibers that allow for more ventilation. The one downside of fiber toppers is they require more upkeep. “If you don’t maintain them by shaking and fluffing them, they might get compressed or lumpy in some areas,” says Robinson. This fiber style from Slumber Cloud, recommended by two of our experts, stands out for its comfort and cooling properties. The topper is made from a proprietary viscose-based material called Outlast that was developed by NASA to regulate astronauts’ body temperatures in space. Outlast works by absorbing body heat and releasing it if your temperature drops. Heather Turgeon, a psychotherapist and co-author of The Happy Sleeper, often suggests the Slumber Cloud to her patients who have trouble with temperature regulation at night. Logan Block, former director of content at Sleepopolis, adds that it’s very durable.

PlushBeds Natural Latex Topper

From $288

Latex | 2-inch and 3-inch thickness | Spot clean | Nonreturnable, 5-year warranty

Savy ​​describes latex as more resilient than memory foam, meaning it will bounce back to its original shape quickly after you get up. Latex is firmer and more supportive rather than soft and mushy. Savvy, Fish, and Cushner like this all-natural latex topper from PlushBeds. It’s available in two heights (two inches for those who want to feel their mattress underneath and three inches for those who prefer more cushioning) and four different firmness levels. The brand recommends Soft for back and side sleepers who like a plush feel, Medium for side sleepers looking for softness and support, the slightly denser Medium-Firm for back and stomach sleepers, and Extra-Firm for people who weigh over 250 pounds or prefer maximum support. “The latex can soften a firm mattress but still give you some bounce, and the aerated feature allows for consistent airflow to keep the sleeper cool throughout the night,” says Fish. Latex is naturally cooler than memory foam, but small ventilation holes in the PlushBeds topper are a nice touch for those who sleep especially hot on any material. Since it’s made from 100 percent natural latex, this topper is on the more expensive end, but Savy says its durability makes it worth the investment.

ViscoSoft 4-Inch Active Cooling Memory-Foam Mattress Topper

$300

$300

Memory foam | 4-inch thickness | Removable, machine-washable cover | 60-night trial, five-year warranty

This ViscoSoft mattress topper has all the benefits of our best (less expensive) overall pick, and it comes with some added frills you’ll appreciate if staying cool is your top priority. Annie Schlecht, an occupational therapist and sleep consultant, explains that the topper’s copper-infused foam “draws heat away from the body and dissipates it into the environment.” It has a sweat-wicking (and machine-washable) cover that’s designed to keep you dry, and it feels cool to the touch. Riccio adds that this ViscoSoft model “offers a classic memory-foam feel, but the copper infusion serves to dissipate body heat and prevent the foam from warming up.”

Birch Living Plush Pillow Topper

From $300

From $300

Wool-latex hybrid | 3-inch thickness | Spot clean |100-night trial, ten-year warranty

A pillow-top mattress topper made from all organic materials, this model from Birch Living blends wool and latex for a plush yet supportive feel. Since this topper contains latex (like the PlushBeds one above), Auer says it “shouldn’t sag the way memory foam is known to do.” The high-density wool offers similarly lasting firmness. And though you might associate wool with warmth, it actually excels at temperature regulation (one reason it’s a popular material for activewear), so this topper won’t leave you sweaty. Cushner says wool won’t trap heat, adding, “If anything, it can wick away heat.” The top layer is made from cool-to-the-touch organic cotton, but just a heads-up: It’s not removable or machine washable, so you’ll have to spot-clean this topper.

GhostBed Memory-Foam Topper

$429

Gel memory foam | 3-inch thickness | Machine washable cover and spot clean topper | Nonreturnable, 5-year warranty

If you’re waking up with back pain or achy joints, a multi-zone topper, composed of different densities of foam, may provide relief. This type of topper is designed to provide targeted support to the parts of the body that need it most no matter what position you sleep in; Savvy explains that “each zone responds differently to the sections of one’s body. Heavier parts sink in, while the rest is supported in a relatively straight line.” As chiropractors told us when we researched the best pillows for neck pain, maintaining proper alignment while sleeping is key to minimizing aches and pains. Plus the GhostBed topper boasts some classic memory-foam cooling features like gel-infused foam and increased ventilation to promote airflow.

Lucid 5-Zone Lavender Memory-Foam Mattress Topper

From $85

Memory foam | 3-inch thickness, 1.9-pound density | Spot-clean with a damp cloth | 30-day return policy on Amazon, three-year warranty

At under $100, this topper isn’t just the cheapest option on our list, it’s also a surprisingly good dupe for the pricier GhostBed one above. At the lower price point, you sacrifice the gel infusion for cooling and the machine-washable cover, but you’ll still get a solid memory-foam topper with different density zones to support your whole body. “This topper has five body zones that provide extra pressure relief in certain areas to help level you out across the mattress and maximize comfort,” says Ben Trapskin, founder of the Sleep Sherpa. Trapskin likes the lavender-infused fragrance of this topper, which offsets the chemical smell that sometimes accompanies memory foam. It “provides a fresh-smelling mattress for many months to come,” he says.

Parachute Down Mattress Topper

From $289

Down | 3-inch thickness | Dry-clean only | Free returns within 60 days, three-year warranty

For that “traditional hotel-bed feel,” Logan Foley, the managing editor at Sleep Foundation, says you have to go with down, and he specifically recommends this topper from Parachute. Natural down is known for being ultraplush and lightweight, lending a luxurious softness to any bed. Robert Pagano, a co-founder of sleep-product review site Sleepline, also likes Parachute’s version, which he says envelops sleepers without any of the heat-retaining properties of memory foam. Down toppers will need regular fluffing to keep the filling in place, but this one has the added benefit of sewn baffle-box construction to prevent filling from shifting around as you sleep. The downsides of down include the potential for irritating allergies and the occasional feather poke-through. Additionally, this mattress topper is dry-clean only, which makes cleaning a little more difficult.

Parachute Down-Alternative Mattress Topper - Queen

$249

Down-alternative microfiber | 3-inch thickness | Dry-clean only | Free returns within 60 days, three-year warranty

Designed to feel like down, down-alternative toppers (which are typically made from microfiber) are a good alternative to the real thing if you have allergies or want to save some money. Experts love this topper from Parachute for many of the reasons they recommend the brand’s down style: marshmallow softness, baffle-box construction, and a 100 percent cotton shell. Savy says it’s likely one of the best-selling toppers on the market right now because it’s hypoallergenic, durable, and “generously stuffed.” Strategist contributing writer Lauren Levy got a chance to try this mattress topper firsthand and reported that she felt herself “gently melting and folding into” it when falling asleep, and she woke up “feeling lightly sandwiched between layers of plushness.” Like its down counterpart, this Parachute topper is dry-clean only.

Charles P. Rogers Real Bed Mattress Topper

From $620

Micro-coils and latex | 2.5-inch thickness | Spot-clean | Nonreturnable, no warranty details

If you’re new to sleeping on memory foam or another type of all-foam mattress and missing the bounciness of your old innerspring mattress, Cushner suggests this topper. It combines supportive latex with a layer of tiny nano-springs and feels a little cooler than straight memory foam does. While Cushner admits it won’t transform a foam mattress into a spring one, it’s an option if you prefer that bouncier feel.

Avocado Organic Latex Mattress Topper (Queen)

$649 now 10% off

From $584

Wool-latex hybrid | 2-inch thickness | Spot-clean | One-year trial (with a 30-day minimum), 10-year warranty

Firm mattress toppers are ideal for people who are managing body pains and aches or just need some extra support. This organic latex mattress topper by Avocado is rated as medium-firm and designed to gently cradle your body. Similar to the Birch Living Plush Topper above, it is layered with moisture-wicking organic wool, organic latex, and cotton to create a buoyant sleeping surface that allows your body heat to dissipate.

Tuft & Needle Mattress Topper - Queen

$250

Open-cell foam | 2-inch thickness | Machine washable cover and spot clean cover | 100-night sleep trial, 3-year limited warranty

If your mattress is too firm for your liking or has become less comfortable over time, adding the two-inch Tuft and Needle mattress topper can give it a boost. This topper is made of cushiony, bouncy open-cell foam that is designed to respond to your body’s movement and offer pressure relief while allowing air to circulate. Unlike some memory foam options, this topper is less likely to trap your body heat, and the removable and machine washable poly-blend cover adds an extra soft and cooling layer.

      Which mattress pad would you choose or recommend?

      Take part in the survey

      Choosing the models of mattress toppers listed below, you can be convinced of the high quality, reliability and adequate price.

      Below you can see seven models, each of which is remarkable in its own way.

      The model of the company Sortex, founded in 2000, opens the rating. High-quality textiles from which this model is made, as well as high quality with individual tailoring, distinguish this mattress cover from others.

      This mattress topper is a very good option. For example, it uses elastic and elastic polyurethane foam as a filler. What is important, this model has an "anatomical effect", which consists in the correct form.

      The main material for this cover is knitted fabric. Microfiber is used as an additional material. You can see stitching in the form of a scaly stitch.

      2. Filler - polyester fiber. It is made using the latest technology to meet environmental standards.
      3. Highly resistant to bending and twisting.
      4. Four elastic bands - high-quality means of fixing the mattress pad.

      Basic information:

      • length - 200 cm;
      • width - 80 cm;
      • outer material - plush fabric with membrane;
      • fastening - rubber bands at the bottom.

      Fourth place goes to the Ormatek mattress pad model, which stands out for a number of features. It is worth highlighting them: the outer material of the cover is made of plush, which indicates the high quality of the mattress. The underside of the mattress cover is made of a waterproof coating. Its board is made of cotton. Elastic band on all sides allows you to keep this model on the mattress just perfect.

      This model is quite easy to use. For example, it is easy to put on and take off. In addition, this mattress pad can be easily washed in the washing machine.

      Important! DRY Plush is the perfect protection to keep dirt and germs out of your mattress.

      People who bought this model praise this model. In their reviews, they note how functional this model is. In addition, softness, durability and durability are also on the list of positives.

      Pros

      • moisture does not accumulate in this mattress pad;
      • prevents the development of bacteria;
      • hypoallergenic fabric;
      • high degree of protection;
      • high usability;
      • the price is quite adequate.

      Cons

      • model thickness too thin.

      Ormatec Dry Plush

      SN-TEXTILE Aquastop Muleton with borders (180×200 cm)

      SN-TEXTILE Aquastop Muleton with borders (180×200 cm)

      Basic information:

      • length - 200 cm;
      • width - 180 cm;
      • outer material - terry cloth;
      • fastening - rubber bands.

      The model of the Russian company SN-Textile got into the top three. This mattress pad has become quite popular in the domestic market in a short time.

      It is worth moving on to the distinguishing features of this model. For example, the outer shell is made of quite interesting materials such as terry and muleton. The fabric can "breathe" and guarantees a comfortable sleep. There is no filler. The protective sides of this model are made in such a way that they cover the sides of the mattress well.

      Important! The fabric is impregnated with a hydrophobic compound. And the material of the mattress cover itself allows you to wash it at a temperature of 40 ° C, and the spin speed is 400 revolutions per minute.

      The disadvantage is the thickness of the product - it is too small, so it can slip from time to time.

      Pros

      • moisture repellent;
      • fabric can "breathe";
      • secure fixation due to rubber bands;
      • extremely pleasant to the touch mattress topper;
      • adequate price.

      Cons

      • thickness too thin;
      • slips at times.

      SN-TEXTILE Muleton Aquastop with sides (180×200 cm)

      Dreamline Memorix 4 cm

      Dreamline Memorix 4 cm

      All about the types of mattress toppers

      A mattress topper is an essential item for anyone who has a mattress, especially if it is orthopedic. Why is there such a need for it?

      The point is that a mattress topper can not only prolong the "life" of the mattress, but also make the sleeping surface more comfortable and suitable for sound and healthy sleep.

      Consider the main types of mattress covers that can be found in stores.

      Slim

      The most common type. As a rule, such mattress covers are used to protect against negative influences. They usually do not have additional "functions".

      It is worth noting that they are inexpensive, and therefore popular.

      Thick

      Their second name is toppers. Outwardly, they resemble an ordinary mattress because of their filler inside. Such a mattress pad will not protect against moisture or dust, but will make the surface of the bed more "correct" - it can often be "curved". It is also used to improve sleep, taking into account all the characteristics of a person.

      Toppers greatly help to improve the sleep of any person

      Classic

      As a rule, everyone has such a mattress topper. It is simple, made of a single layer, but at the same time extremely durable. It looks like a sheet, but this type of mattress cover has elastic bands both in the corners and around the entire perimeter. Most often you can see such a mattress pad, sewn from natural fabrics.

      Antibacterial

      This type of mattress topper is distinguished by the material used in the manufacture of this mattress item. He, before sewing the mattress cover, as a rule, undergoes a procedure of impregnation with antibacterial and hypoallergenic solutions.

      This process increases the final cost of the mattress cover, but at the same time the user receives a mattress that is free of mites, bacteria, or anything else that can cause allergies and illnesses.

      The presence of antibacterial coatings makes the mattress pad more comfortable
      Orthopedic

      Such a mattress pad, interestingly, can greatly improve the comfort of a regular mattress. True, there are quite a few factors responsible for this. And first of all, it is worth highlighting the filler. The material chosen for filling the mattress pad can directly affect the stiffness.

      1. If you need not only to soften the surface, but also to smooth out irregularities, even if they are minor, you should choose mattress toppers filled with polyurethane foam, holofiber, latex or memory foam of low density.
      2. If you need to soften the surface and smooth out more serious irregularities of the mattress, the mattress topper filled with sisal or coir, as well as polyurethane foam, latex and memory foam of high density will be your ideal choice.

      tip ! Futons, which are multi-layer orthopedic mattresses, are better suited for heavily uneven mattresses.

      Orthopedic mattress toppers are becoming increasingly popular today

      Waterproof

      This type of mattress topper has earned its popularity because the hydrophobic coating helps protect the mattress from problems often created by children and other circumstances beyond people's control.

      There has been a debate for a long time about whether this type of mattress has low air permeability. However, there is only one correct answer - no. Why so? It's all about the design of the "case". The top layer is a natural or artificial fabric that will be pleasant to the touch. It will most likely let moisture in. The main thing is that the material itself is able to remove moisture and at the same time not reduce the air permeability inside the mattress due to the membrane coating.

      In general, if you are afraid of getting your mattress dirty or wet, you should simply purchase a waterproof mattress pad, with which the mattress will be protected not only from tea and coffee, but also from other liquids spilled on it.

      About the materials that serve as a filler for a mattress cover

      Let's consider all the materials known today that are used as a filler for a mattress cover.

      Artificial materials

      1. Holofiber . One of the most popular artificial filling materials. It is a voluminous, wear-resistant and durable material. In general, the decision to take a mattress pad with this filler will be quite correct.

         What holofiber looks like

      2. Struttofiber . Dense than holofiber, tougher than it. Smoothes out medium-sized roughness. Softens hard and hardens soft bed. It can contain many of the materials listed below, which can affect the final firmness of the mattress pad.

         What a strut fiber looks like

      3. Polyurethane foam. Almost the same as foam rubber, only more modern and "cooler". It is considered quite affordable and at the same time elastic material, which can make the mattress more comfortable to lie in it.

         What polyurethane foam looks like

      4. Memory Foam . Premium class of artificial filler, as it can be anatomically shaped. In addition, it has a kind of "memory". Adjusting to the parameters of the person lying on it allows you to make sleep much more pleasant and easier. Especially such material is suitable for those who suffer from various diseases.
      Memory foam looks like

      Natural materials

      1. Latex . It can be briefly expressed in three nouns - versatility, durability and safety. With latex, you don't have to worry about the mattress being too hard - the material will soften it. In addition, the material is quite durable and resistant to various deformations, as well as high loads.

         What does latex look like

      2. Wool . Quite a popular material that has not only warming properties, but also healing. Suffice it to recall the belt made of dog hair. In this case, the mattress pad will act in a similar way. However, there is one "but" in relation to this material - it is not suitable for those who are allergic to wool.

         What wool looks like

      3. Bamboo . Unusual and at the same time soft filler, somewhat reminiscent of cotton wool. It is obtained by combing out the fibers that can be found in bamboo pulp. For the price, the material is not cheap, but it is quite high quality.

         Bamboo looks like

      4. Coira . No less unusual material obtained from coconut fibers. A mattress pad with such a filler is able to "breathe", can regulate the temperature of a lying person, and is also not able to absorb moisture, which means it will not rot. However, coir filler is a hard type that not everyone will appreciate. And it’s simply impossible to roll up a “case” with such a filler for more convenient storage.

         What coir looks like

      5. Silk . The best option for allergy sufferers. The reason is in the composition of silk fibers. Everyone knows that silk is 97% protein, and the protein itself is not the best breeding ground for allergens, mites and other misfortunes. That's why allergy sufferers love it. What is even more interesting - it is loved by those who have increased sweating.

         What silk looks like

      6. Down. Of course, no modern mattress topper market can do without down. All down covers for mattresses are completely different from their down "brothers", which were previously popular. The high quality of the material and the properties of this natural filling make a down mattress topper an ideal choice. However, there is one “but” - the prices for high-quality “covers” for a mattress are quite high today, so not everyone can afford such a mattress cover.
      How fluff looks like
      About the types of fastening of the mattress pad

      One of the points that deserves attention when choosing a mattress pad is its fastening.

      Each "cover" must at least somehow be attached to the mattress. And today there are as many as three options for attaching a mattress cover.

      About all of them - in the table below.

      Mounting type	Description
      Corner elastics	The simplest mounting option, which is not without the disadvantage of the need to timely replace the rubber with a new one, because over time they deteriorate badly.
      Elastic bands around the perimeter	Attachments are on the sides of the “cover”, which makes it more secure to attach it to the mattress.
      Cover zipper	With this fastening, the mattress is provided with “all-around” protection. That's just putting on a mattress cover with such a mount will be difficult.

      Each fastener has its own remarkable features, and therefore, when choosing a future mattress pad, they should be taken into account.

      Results

      A mattress pad is a really necessary thing. It can be extremely comfortable and greatly improve a person's sleep quality. In addition, with a mattress cover, you can significantly extend the life of the mattress and protect it not only from moisture, but also bacteria, as well as fungi and other microorganisms.

      True, many nuances must be taken into account, without which the choice cannot be made. But having appreciated the available options, everyone will be able to choose for themselves exactly the option that will make the bed more comfortable and pleasant for sleeping.

This article provides an overview of the best manufacturers of waterproof mattress covers, and describes in detail the most popular products.

      Useful properties of mattress toppers

      With the help of a cover, you can increase the protection of a bed from dust several times. Waterproof products have this advantage. In addition, such a cover does not allow liquid to penetrate inside. This dignity is especially relevant when there is a baby in the house who is swaddled and fed on the bed. Such an accessory is also suitable for adults facing the delicate problem of urinary incontinence.

      In cases where the mattress is placed directly on the floor for some reason, protection against dust and dirt becomes especially important. It happens that the budget of a newly-made family is very limited, and the newlyweds only have enough money for a mattress without a bed. Then a waterproof extra sheet will help keep the bed clean until it becomes full. Dampness is often observed in country houses, and the product becomes in demand to protect the bed from dirt and mold.

      The secret of the covers lies in the special materials from which they are made. The top layer should be comfortable to the touch, made of cotton or terry cloth. The bottom layer is designed to prevent the penetration of moisture and is therefore made of polyurethane or polypropylene. These materials also allow the product to breathe.

      Production technology

      1. Microfiber is an ideal material because it has antibacterial and hypoallergenic properties.
      2. Quality filler (not always used). Manufacturers most often use holofiber or synthetic winterizer. The filling material is treated with silicone and formed into balls. All types of fillers have hypoallergenic properties.
      3. Water-repellent bottom layer. It is represented by densely interwoven polyurethane fibers. The cells between the fibers are smaller than the liquid molecules, so they do not allow it to penetrate the mattress. However, these holes allow air to circulate freely. The liquid evaporates, but the material "breathes". The bottom layer is made using a unique technology with double-sided lamination.

      When choosing a cover, the buyer is advised, first of all, to decide what type of product he is interested in. There are models with sides or with an elastic band.

      Why you need

      Buyers of mattresses rarely think about the need to purchase related materials other than bed linen. However, everyone wants the product to last as long as possible and stay clean. Those who purchased the products on time will benefit from the following:

      • it will be protected from various liquids that can get inside;

      • the microclimate of the bed is stabilized: in summer the mattress cover will take away excess heat and moisture, and in winter, on the contrary, it will warm;
      • for a baby bed, a cover that does not slip or get wet is the best solution for comfort
      • for the baby and the cleanliness of the mattress;
      • captivates and ease of care. The mattress cover can be easily washed in a washing machine, while dirt
      • on the mattress is difficult to remove.

      How to choose

      The very first thing to consider is the top layer material. The outer cover can be made using one of three types of fabrics:

      1. Natural fabrics. It can be cotton or terry. They are the most expensive, but have many advantages, the most important of which is hypoallergenicity. Such material will last a long time.
      2. Combination of natural fabrics and polyester. 20% synthetics in the composition guarantee a long service life.

      2. Teen models are 80 x 200 cm.
