My wife and I have had a pillow top mattress for years and it's slowly losing it's firmness. We recently slept on a bed that had a mattress topper and were quite impressed with the level of comfort they provide. Don't get a mattress topper confused with a mattress pad, although many people interchange the terms. As I started to research mattress toppers I also saw them referred to as mattress enhancers and they are usually made out of memory foam. Those of us with back pain will appreciate the added softness that the memory foam mattress topper pads provide. Many reviews we read online were from owners who had suffered from back and neck pains for years and couldn't find the right mattress. Now they are realizing that a simple accessory like a mattress topper can make all the difference in the world. They are designed to take away those ordinary aches and pains by reducing pressure points. Experts do say that they are not very effective is your current mattress already has sags and dips in it.
The mattress toppers work best with newer mattresses that are just a bit too firm. Buying Guide - The top brands for mattress toppers are Sealy, Serta, Sleep Better, Sleep Joy, Simmons, HoMedics, and Sleep Studio. The foam toppers come in regular sizes - queen, king, twin, full, and California king. Expect spend anywhere from $70 to $150 for these memory foam mattress topper pads. You will often hear the term "foam density" and this is measured in pounds per cubic foot. The better quality memory foam has a density of 4 lbs or higher, although in many reviews we read online the higher the density the lower the rating the mattress topper received. Those pads with a higher density may last a bit longer (5 years +) but you may find more comfort in a less dense mattress topper that might last 3 to 5 years. It all comes down to comfort - keep in mind that we sleep roughly 8 hours a night which means you need a comfortable bed and mattress for your back and neck. The thickness of the mattress topper is another feature to consider.
They range from 1" to 4 inches and beyond. The most popular variety are those that are 2 to 3 inches thick - a 2 inch pad is fine for most and experts say the 3" toppers are better for heavier people. When you do buy a mattress topper just place it on top of the mattress and usually they will fit under you quilted mattress pad. In terms of mattress topper reviews - we found an excellent article done by the Wall Street Journal comparing the top brands on comfort, price, etc. The reviews point towards brands like Sleep Better and Sleep Studio versus the names like Serta, Simmons and HoMedics. Those suffering from arthritis and fibromyalgia mention that placing a memory foam pad on top of their mattress help to ease their aches and pains and lessens their symptoms.

Memory Foam Mattress Topper: BEST - The leading seller on Amazon is the Sleep Better 2-Inch Visco Elastic Memory Foam Mattress Topper which sells for around $70 for the queen size.

Owners definitely note that the topper helps to reduce the turning and tossing many of us are used to at night. In reviews for other leading brands we found that owners say the mattress toppers actually make them sweat, but that is NOT the case with the Sleep Better brand. Features include something called "temperature-smart" which refers to the open cell foam which keeps things cool on your body as the material can breath throughout the night. It contours to your bodies shape helping to relieve pressure points and get you a good nights rest. Comes with a 5 year warranty. The Sleep Better 3-Inch Visco Elastic Memory Foam Mattress Topper is also very popular with reviews just slightly less positive than the 2 inch model.
