What does a mattress topper do for a mattress?
A mattress topper does exactly what it sounds like! It sits on top of your mattress, providing support for your body and increasing the lifespan of your mattress. A mattress topper takes on a lot of the pressure, relieving your mattress of additional stress and any wear and tear.
Do mattress toppers make a difference?
A mattress protector will definitely make a difference to the way your bed feels. They can be completely customisable to your comfort levels thanks to the vast range of filling you can get. Explore our options in microfibre or down to find the mattress pad that suits your sleep needs.
As mentioned above, mattress toppers also make a difference to your mattress as it will protect it from wear and tear.
Mattress topper vs mattress protector: what's the difference?
A mattress topper will provide you with an extra layer of support and comfort - and they come in a range of fillings so you can find the one that fits you best. A mattress protector or cover, on the other hand, will keep your bed clean and tidy.

Do you put a mattress protector or sheet over a mattress topper?
Mattress toppers sit on top of a mattress so it’s a good idea to put a fitted sheet over it to keep it clean and lasting longer by avoiding any wear and tear from tossing and turning in your sleep. It will also keep it in place to stop it from sliding around.
What type of mattress topper is best for back pain?
Memory foam or foam mattress toppers are ideal for those suffering from back pain. This is because the mattress cover distributes your body weight across it, alleviating your body from potential aches and pains. And, they’re super soft which cushions you in without ‘sinking in’ too much.
