There are two things i want you to avoid when you are buying a mattress topper.

The first thing is not paying attention to density. Memory foam, conventional foam, they're all thermoreactive materials, so with you+your partner+all of your pets, all of that heat and pressure, it's going to make it harder for a lowdensity mattress topper to actually support you and do its job. In fact....it's probably going to look like an old kitchen sponge instead of something that belongs on your bed.

A highdensity mattress topper has enough material to actually combat all of that and support you throughout the night. In fact there's going to be a little bit more air moving through that mattress topper too to help disperse some of the heat, so you'll actually stay a little bit cooler too. But high density, always a good thing.

And the second thing is.....you want to get a mattress topper that is deep enough for you. So you'll look at options that have 2 in, 3 in, or 4 in, something like that. And the way I like to think about it is this: if you're going to go diving, you dont want to do it in the 3ft end of the pool, you want to do it in the 10 or 12T section of the pool. Okay, if you need to get something that allows your body to sink in enough and still support you, especially if you're a bigger guy or gal, you're going to want to look at the 4 in and 3in options. If you're a lot smaller or if it's for a child or college kid, something like that, 2 in might be totally fine for them.

But in any case, my general advice is that if you have enough money to spring for something that gives you a little bit more cushion....in fact, anything in the US that's over 4 in is actually considered a mattress, then a magical little comma appears and you donnt need that. Because most of the comfort comes in the first 3-4" of a mattress anyway, so you can get 80 to 90% of the feeling of a brand new mattress by getting a 3-4" mattress topper.

And here are my recommendations of the top mattress topper in today's market that are worth a look.

Hey folks,

Lately, my mattress and I have been at odds, prompting me to consider the idea of investing in the best mattress topper I can find before splurging on a brand-new mattress. I've come across quite a few praises about how a good mattress topper can revamp the comfort level of an existing mattress.

I'm eyeing a topper that strikes a nice balance between being cushy and supportive, particularly for my back. My budget is capped at around $200, but I'm open to exceeding it a tad if the topper is a standout.

I’ve heard some good things about the Tempur-Pedic, Lucid, and Linenspa brands. Anyone has experience with these or any other brands you'd recommend?

Also, an easy-to-clean and maintain topper is high on my wishlist. And if there are certain materials or brands known for their durability and comfort, I'm all ears.

I'm all set to dive into the suggestions from this savvy community.

Thanks a ton in advance!
