A mattress topper can add an extra layer of protection against everyday wear and tear – and are usually machine washable, so they are easy to maintain and clean.
A good mattress topper works in three ways to help regulate your body temperature. First off, it adds an extra layer to your bedding, which helps keep you warm on cold nights. Secondly, that layer allows for added air circulation, which helps to keep your body at a comfortable temperature. Lastly, a mattress topper can help wick away moisture, helping to keep you cool and comfortable on those warmer nights.

Pocket spring systems, where the springs are independent of each other, are generally considered the best. It’s the padding surrounding the springs that supplies the comfort. Many manufacturers will use the same spring system and then vary the padding to provide a range of different mattresses. Confusingly, a particular model produced by a manufacturer may be listed under different names at various retailers, making it hard to compare prices. Latex is a natural hypo-allergenic material made from the sap of rubber trees. Good latex mattresses have pin-core holes incorporated into the design that allow them to breathe. Latex mattresses curve to the shape of your body, minimising gaps between you and the mattress and providing a great cushioning experience. Quality latex matresses are expensive, but can last up to 25 years. Plus, they’re good for allergy sufferers as they are much less attractive to dust mites than traditional spring styles. Also known as viscoelastic foam, memory foam was originally created by NASA to be used in astronauts’ seats to soak up g-forces.
It’s made from polyurethane and conforms to the shape of your body. It takes about 15 minutes to fully respond to your body’s warmth and doesn’t spring back like regular foam. Some testers have reported lying on this type of mattress felt like floating, as it supports high-load areas such as hips and shoulders, while others said the experience was more like being bogged in wet sand. There is concern that memory foam may retain too much heat to be comfortable, but some manufacturers are incorporating new, ‘temperature neutral’ materials into their designs. Pillow tops are inner-spring or latex mattresses that have a top layer of another material, such as feathers, memory foam or latex, to provide a luxurious cushion, which they undoubtedly do — at first. The problem with pillow tops is the upper layer tends to wear out faster than the mattress. Consider buying a separate pillow top, known as a mattress topper or overlay, and fitting it onto your mattress if this is the way you want to go.
Pillow-top mattresses are not to be confused with memory-foam ones, which are designed to have two layers and will wear evenly. Standard Australian mattress sizing is as follows: All Australian manufacturers produce mattresses around these sizes, give or take a centimetre here and there. When buying a mattress for an existing base, it’s important to check that the new mattress will fit. Also check the size of sheets when purchasing new ones to ensure they fit the mattress. For instance, the size of a Sheridan regular queen fitted sheet is 152x203x37cm and an Aura queen fitted sheet is 154x204x40cm, which will cover a standard mattress perfectly. While the width and length of mattresses are pretty standardised, depths are often varied, particularly when it comes to pillow-top styles. If you intend to buy new bed linen, some mattresses require what’s known as deep-walled sheets, so take a bottom sheet with you when purchasing. Sheridan now make fitted sheets with 40cm and 50cm depths, while all of Aura’s are 40cm.
When lying on your back in bed your spine should maintain its natural curve. You should be able to slide a hand under your lower back, but not easily as too big a gap means the mattress is too hard. When on your side, your spine should remain straight. If the mattress is too firm you’ll soon feel pressure on your hips and shoulders. If too soft, you’ll sink into the mattress, causing your back to ache. Anne Cooper, president of the New South Wales branch of the Australian Osteopathic Association, likes a mattress to be firm but not hard and to have consistent support under the middle of the back. Her advice is to look at inner-spring mattresses with a latex top as the combination offers both support and cushioning. Beds and mattresses at the top end of the market are making inroads into Australian bedrooms with those who take luxury seriously. Sealy Posturepedic, for instance, has recently released the Crown Jewel — a handcrafted bed that incorporates the best of the company’s technology.
