Are mattress toppers worth it?
If you're wondering if mattress toppers are worth it or a waste of money, we say that it all depends on what mattress topper you buy. First of all look for a topper that's between 2" and 4" thick, as anything thinner will make no difference to your bed and anything thicker will be too squidgy.
If you're a hot sleeper, choose a mattress topper that has cooling features such as gel foam, a latex design, or a cool, breathable cover. Meanwhile stomach sleepers and back sleepers should look for something that adds firm support as well as comfort.
