Frequently Asked Questions About Mattress Pads & Toppers:
What are mattress pads? Generally featuring a quilted top and plush cotton, these pads are fitted over your mattress to provide a bit of added comfort. We recommend waterproof mattress pads that protect your mattress from unfortunate spills or accidents. If you’re a hot sleeper, check out cooling mattress pads like these options from Sealy.
What are mattress toppers? If you want to turn your bed into a cloud, we suggest adding a mattress topper. This thick layer is placed on top of your mattress to provide extra support and sumptuous cushioning.
What are the different types of mattress toppers?
- Memory Foam Mattress Toppers. Are you looking for an ultra-soft topper that will also provide added support to your pressure points? If so, then a memory foam topper will be your prime option.
- Cooling Memory Foam Mattress Toppers. Do you tend to overheat when you sleep? You’ll want to purchase a memory foam topper with cooling technologies to keep you comfortable.
- Down & Feather Mattress Toppers. Searching for a plush topper that will also provide added warmth? Featherbed mattress toppers lead the flock.
- Down Alternative Mattress Toppers. If you’re seeking a hypoallergenic solution, then scope out down alternative mattress toppers.
How long do mattress pads and toppers last? Depending on the quality, mattress pads and toppers should last anywhere from 2 to 10 years. You should definitely replace your pad or topper every time you get a new mattress. To help prolong the overall life of your mattress, we recommend purchasing a mattress protector that’s waterproof and stain resistant. Some protectors even shield against allergens and bedbugs.
