Mattress topper sizes

Your mattress topper should be the same size as your mattress to keep it from stretching or sliding about.

Here is a list of the different mattress topper sizes we stock at Mattress Online, and their dimensions:

Topper sizeDimensions
Single90cm x 190cm (3' x 6'3")
Double135cm x 190cm (4'6" x 6'3")
King150cm x 200cm (5' x 6'6")
Superking180cm x 200cm (6' x 6'6")

If you’re looking for a ‘queen size mattress topper’, you may struggle to find one from a UK website or shop. This is because ‘queen size’ is actually an American term. They are slightly larger than a UK standard king size, measuring 152cm x 203cm (or 60" x 80").

Is it better to get a thicker mattress topper?

The thickness of your mattress topper should be dependent on how much you’d like to change the feel of your mattress and what type of topper you are looking to buy.

If you only want to take an edge of firmness off of your mattress or add a little bit of comfort, a thinner mattress topper is perfectly fine.

If you’d like to drastically change how your mattress feels, whether this is in terms of support or comfort, a thicker mattress topper may be better for you.

By using thinker toppers, you are putting more material between your body and the mattress beneath you. The fillings inside thicker toppers are usually also dense, which may help to mask the feel of your mattress if you find it uncomfortable.

Should a mattress topper be bigger than the mattress?

No, your mattress topper should be exactly the same size as your current mattress. 

If your mattress topper is too big for your mattress, then it is more likely to slide across the surface while you sleep.

But if your mattress topper is too small for your mattress, you risk damaging the topper by stretching it too far. This will also put additional pressure on your mattress.

Ensure that your mattress topper fits snuggly to the mattress and is not too loose or too tight
