What is the difference between a mattress topper and protector?

A mattress topper and a mattress protector serve two very different purposes.

A mattress topper is designed to change how your bed feels. It sits on top of your mattress and adds extra comfort, support, or softness depending on the material.

A mattress protector, on the other hand, is there to protect your mattress from spills, stains, and everyday wear.

Essentially:

• Choose a topper to improve comfort
• Choose a protector to keep your mattress clean

Many people use both together for the best results.

How to choose the best mattress topper

The best mattress topper depends on what you want to improve about your current sleeping experience.

Start by asking yourself:

• Is your mattress too firm or too soft?
• Do you need more support or pressure relief?
• Do you tend to sleep hot?

As a general guide:

Memory foam

Memory foam gently molds your body, helping to ease pressure on areas like your shoulders and hips. They’re a good option if you want to add a bit more comfort to a firm mattress.

Gel foam

Cooling or gel toppers are designed to feel a little cooler than standard foam. They can help with temperature control, making them a nice choice if you find memory foam too warm.

Natural fillings

Natural fillings like wool or cotton offer a breathable, comfortable layer. They’re great for adding softness while helping to keep your sleep surface feeling fresh throughout the year.

If your mattress is still in good condition but just doesn’t feel quite right, the right topper can make a noticeable difference to how well you sleep.

Which mattress topper is right for you?

The right mattress topper depends on how you sleep and what your mattress is currently lacking. Here’s a quick way to find your best match:

For back pain

If you’re dealing with back pain, look for a topper that adds support while relieving pressure.

Memory foam toppers are a popular choice, as they contour to your body and help keep your spine aligned.

For cooling

If you often feel too warm at night, a cooling topper can help you sleep more comfortably.

Gel-infused foam and breathable natural fillings are designed to improve airflow and regulate temperature, so you stay cooler throughout the night.

To make a mattress firmer

If your mattress feels too soft or lacks support, a firmer topper can help add structure.

High-density foam mattress toppers, like memory foam, are good options, as they provide a more supportive surface without completely changing your mattress.

To make a mattress softer

If your mattress feels too firm, a softer topper can add an extra layer of cushioning.

Pillow-top style mattress toppers are ideal for creating a more comfortable, cushioned feel without replacing your mattress.

Mattress toppers FAQs

How long do mattress toppers last?

Most mattress toppers last between 3 to 5 years with the right care. Maintaining your mattress topper well can help extend its lifespan, keeping your mattress comfortable and supportive for longer.

How thick should a mattress topper be?

The right mattress topper thickness depends on how much of a change you want to make to your mattress.

• 2-5cm - adds a subtle layer of comfort
• 5-8cm - provides more noticeable support or softness
• 10cm+ - offers a plush, sin-in feel

If your mattress just needs a small adjustment, a thinner mattress topper will do the job. For a more significant comfort upgrade, a thicker option is usually better.

What goes on first - mattress protector or topper?

Your mattress topper should go directly on top of your mattress, with the protector placed over the top.

This way, the topper is properly supported while the protector helps keep both your mattress and topper clean and safe from any accidents, spills or stains.

How to stop a mattress topper from sliding?

If your mattress topper moves around, there are a few simple ways to keep it in place:

• Make sure your fitted sheet is tight enough to hold everything securely together
• Choose a mattress topper with elasticated corner straps
• Place it on a non-slip mattress surface

A well-fitted topper that matches your mattress size should stay in place more easily.

Can you wash a mattress topper?

All of our mattress toppers can be spot cleaned, and some feature removable, washable covers for added convenience. This makes it easy to keep your topper fresh, night after night.
