Mattress Toppers Buying Guide: Making Your Bed More Comfortable

If you're feeling like your mattress is becoming worn out, and just isn't providing you the comfort your body requires for a good night's sleep, or if you're simply not ready to make the costly investment for a mattress replacement, you may want to consider a quality mattress topper. By adding a comfortable mattress topper on your mattress, you can turn your average mattress into a truly amazing nighttime experience.

Not to mention, it will protect your mattress from any additional wear and tear. This guide will provide you with an in-depth look at the various types of PlushBeds' mattress toppers and the different benefits each provides. It will help you choose the best mattress topper for your needs.

What are Mattress Toppers?

Mattress toppers are removable layers that you place on top of your existing mattress to offer extra support and cushioning. PlushBeds mattress toppers come in various thicknesses, materials, and sizes. Identifying the ideal mattress topper depends on your particular needs and sleeping habits. And, the more knowledge you have about the various types of bed toppers there are, the better off you are when it comes to choosing the right one for you.

Why Should I Want a Mattress Topper?

Mattress toppers serve two general purposes:

• They help transform a sagging old mattress
• They make a firmer mattress softer

When it comes to comfort, it's hard to beat a mattress topper for extending the lifespan of your mattress and relieving pain. A mattress topper can even help extend the life of a really old mattress that's way overdue for a replacement by several years. It will provide you with the support and comfort in all the areas you need.

But, you'll want to choose a mattress topper that will address the problem areas of your existing mattress. For example, you may require a firm mattress topper that can provide you with extra support. Or, you might require a mattress topper that provides extra cushioning to help relieve your pressure points and aching joints. The mattress topper's materials impact the support, firmness, or cushioning you will receive.

What are the Different Types of Mattress Toppers?

Mattress Topper Types Include:

1. Natural Latex Toppers
2. Cooling Gel Memory Foam Toppers
3. Memory Foam Toppers
4. Handmade Wool Toppers
5. Alternative Down Toppers
