A memory foam mattress topper is a thin layer of memory foam that goes over the top of your current mattress and provides many, but not all of the benefits of a full memory foam mattress. So if you are not convinced memory foam is for you and you already have a good quality mattress, a memory foam topper is a cheaper alternative.

Memory foam comes in different densities which relate to the softness of the mattress, for people who like their beds to be hard you may prefer a mattress topper to a full memory foam mattress as it provides a thinner layer. It allows your weight to be evenly distributed in the same way that all good quality memory foam does, and provides the same fantastic anti allergy protection.

Your memory foam mattress topper does have a shorter lifespan than full mattresses. There are many factors that affect lifespan but the thinness of a memory foam topper means that as the cells at the top deteriorate, there is less foam underneath to compensate. Its life time will also be affected by the people sleeping on it.

Mattress toppers are usually laid over existing beds and so the quality of the bed will affect the topper. If the bed underneath sags then gradually the memory foam topper will follow this contour and make the sag feel greater due to its softness. So if you have a bed that is getting past its best it’s well worth buying a full memory foam mattress to improve the quality of your sleep. But if you just want to enhance an already comfortable bed, and reduce any aches and pains you experience, a memory foam mattress topper is the ideal solution.
