Pros and cons of a mattress topper

 The advancement of technology has given birth to numerous accessories that can help you sleep better. One of such accessories available in the market these days is a mattress topper. It is placed on top of a mattress to increase comfort.

A topper helps change the level of firmness and comfort of a mattress, thanks to its substantial layers. Depending on different manufacturers, mattress toppers are anywhere between 1 to 4 inches thick. Available in multiple materials and styles, some toppers rest directly on the mattress, while some come with elastic straps to ensure a secure fit. You can choose one depending on your style and comfort you can choose any of them.

 Before buying a mattress topper, it is crucial to evaluate the pros and cons of the ones you are getting.

 Pros

As the name suggests, a mattress topper is placed on your mattress to increase its thickness. The cushioning of a topper can add to your comfort level and support your spinal cord. Therefore getting one can be of great help for backache and body pain.

 If you have a memory foam topper, the extra support provided by a mattress topper could improve your comfort. The body moulding features of the topper will not affect your sleep when your partner is tossing and turning during the night.

 Manufacturers recommend flipping and turning the mattress regularly for its long life. However, given the weight of new-age mattresses, one can't turn them regularly. Therefore, the mattress topper is a simple solution as it is much easier to turn them over and clean.

 Mattress toppers are a fantastic space-saving accessory as you can fold and keep them when you don't want to use them. It can also be used as an extra mattress when any guest has arrived.

 With an extra layer on top of the mattress, the mattress topper can help reduce the effect of sagging mattress by providing an even surface to sleep.

 

Cons

 Though a mattress topper may help you get more comfortable, it is only a temporary solution. A good mattress is what you need if you want a permanent solution to improve your sleeping experience.

 Depending on the material you choose, some mattress toppers can turn up the heat. Therefore you will have to put the same hard work to select a mattress topper as for a mattress.

 If you are looking for good quality of sleep that your mattress can't provide and choose a mattress topper as a solution, you will have to look for an expensive one. Some high-end mattress toppers cost almost as much as the new mattress. Thus instead of finding a solution for the long run in mattress toppers, it will be advisable to go for a good quality mattress.

 Finding the size of the mattress topper is also an issue sometimes. A poorly fixed topper might slide on while you sleep, turning it into an uncomfortable experience. It is better to opt for a mattress topper that comes with a trial period or a return policy so you can test it out to know if it is right for you.

 We hope this helps you make your decision.
