Mattress Toppers FAQs

What is a mattress topper?

A mattress topper is a thick layer of cushioning that sits on top of your mattress to change its feel, either making it softer, firmer, or more supportive. It’s typically thicker than a mattress pad and can be made from materials like memory foam, latex, wool, or down alternative.

What does a mattress topper do?

A mattress topper adjusts the comfort and support level of your mattress. It can make an old or too-firm mattress more comfortable, provide pressure relief, help regulate temperature, and extend the life of your mattress.

What is the best mattress topper?

The best mattress topper depends on your needs. Memory foam is great for pressure relief and contouring. Latex offers bounce and breathability. For cooling, look for gel-infused foam, wool, or bamboo-based toppers. Choose a mattress topper based on your sleep style, firmness level, support, and temperature preferences.

Can you wash a mattress topper?

Most mattress toppers are not machine washable, especially foam and latex. However, some down or fiberfill toppers may be machine washable. Always check the care label. Spot cleaning is the safest option for most toppers.

How do you clean a foam mattress topper?

To clean a foam topper, vacuum it to remove dust and debris. For stains, spot clean with a mild detergent and warm water using a soft cloth or sponge. Let it air dry completely before placing it back on the bed. It shouldn’t be put in the washing machine or dryer. 

How to keep a mattress topper from sliding

Use a fitted sheet that tightly covers both the topper and mattress. You can also try non-slip pads, corner straps, or sheet fasteners. Some toppers come with built-in elastic straps to hold them in place.

How to store a mattress topper

Roll (don’t fold) the topper and place it in a breathable storage bag. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or moisture. Avoid compressing it for long periods to preserve its shape and structure.
