🛏The experts at Consumer Reports share tips on how to choose a topper and when it might be time to save your money and spring for a new mattress instead
A mattress topper can help relieve pressure points for back and side sleepers and make a good mattress feel more comfortable.
There are many different types of toppers to choose from. Memory foam toppers are a popular choice. They offer that “sinking in” feeling. Expect to pay anywhere from $50 to about $300 depending on the thickness and materials. But memory foam traps heat, so you might want to consider another kind if you sleep hot.
There’s also latex––made from the sap of rubber trees–– that offers a “springier” feel and can be naturally cooling.But before you spend the money on a topper, CR says take a hard look at your mattress, because a topper can only do so much. Adding a mattress topper to a caving, sagging, or otherwise nonsupportive mattress isn’t going make it more supportive or better to sleep on. At that point it may be best to invest in a new mattress.
And if you’re a smart shopper, you can get a new mattress that performs very well in CR’s rigorous tests for a little more than some of those pricey mattress toppers.CR says if you do decide to go with a mattress topper, look for one with straps to help it stay put, as well as a removable, washable cover. And know that it can add anywhere from 1 to 4 inches to the height of your mattress. That’s important to keep in mind when you’re shopping for sheets.
