Are mattress toppers worth buying?

Mattress toppers can be a great investment if you're looking to change the 'feel' of your bed. There are options that will allow you to either firm up or soften the feel of your mattress, with toppers being particularly useful to help break in a new mattress that might feel a little firmer than you'd like.

Mattress toppers can help to relieve pressure points, or add a plush layer of comfort to cradle the body. They are also often made with cooling materials, meaning they can be a godsend for hot sleepers. And, if your mattress is getting older but still has a few years left in it, a high-quality mattress topper can help to prolong its life even further.

A topper isn't a miracle worker though. It's not going to fix a mattress that's sagging and worn-out, and certainly won't cure a mattress with springs sticking out of it. Many are made out of memory foam, which can make a bed hot and they can be costly if you want to invest in a decent one. However, overall mattress toppers have a number of uses that can make them a worthwhile investment.

Jo Plumridge is an experienced mattress reviewer with several years' experience covering all things mattresses and sleep, and who tests memory foam, hybrid and organic mattresses. What Jo doesn't know about a boxed mattress isn't worth knowing, so naturally we tasked her with producing a series of features for Tom's Guide looking at all aspects of mattresses, from how to pick between latex and memory foam (it's a tricky one), to the seven mistakes people make when buying a mattress for the first time. When testing the DreamCloud Luxury Hybrid for Tom's Guide, Jo said: "I loved the back support and pressure relief it offered. Plus, it looks far more expensive than it is." When she isn’t writing about sleep, Jo also writes extensively on interior design, home products and photography.
