Dr. Holliday-Bell recommends this natural alternative for those who require the firm support of memory foam, but prefer to stay clear of chemical. It has an easily removable cover, and the firmness options allow for most sleepers to find their own level of comfort.
1. Sleep Innovations Gel Memory Foam Topper
The topper is soft and comfortable for the majority of people, but still provides support. Our testers were impressed with how it molded to their bodies, giving support in all the proper places. It also fits most mattresses well although it’s tricky to get the sheets on (read more about how to fit mattress toppers here). The thick memory foam layer is machine-washable and naturally anti-bacterial. It also has a quilted cover made from bamboo that is sustainably sourced and hypoallergenic. It was a favorite of our panelists, but it’s important to remember that it doesn’t have any straps to help secure the topper to your mattress and it’s possible that it will move while you sleep.
The panelists who loved this topper also praised how it helped with their back pain. It’s also a great choice for sleepers who are heavier, who might find that a larger topper such as this one – three to four inches – provides more pressure relief for sensitive areas such as shoulders and hips.
A memory foam that is two inches thick and copper-infused wicks away heat and promotes airflow for you sleep cool. Our test subject Jaclyn found the topper to be firm enough to ease the pressure on her back, front, and side sleeping positions but not too firm that it felt uncomfortable. She also noticed that the back pain “pretty easily disappeared overnight.” She was amazed by how quiet the topper is, king size mattress topper as well, king size mattress topper even when it is paired with a soft spring mattress. The topper is also good for couples sharing beds since it blocks motion transfer.
2. Coop Home Goods Retreat
Coop Home Goods mattress toppers have a plush pillow-like feel and we were thrilled to find this version that can only be spot-cleaned. It’s made with a crosscut memory-foam and microfiber blend from the brand, making it hypoallergenic. This is ideal for anyone looking to upgrade a soft mattress, or to refresh a bed in the guest room, dorm, or rental. This topper is unique as it comes with five zones that have different densities. It conforms to your body shape and provides adequate support.
The cover of this mattress protector is made of 100% microfiber poly that has been brushed. It has an elongated baffle box design that makes pockets to evenly distribute the fill. The topper also has four elastic straps at each corner that help it stay firmly in the dormeo mattress topper. A layer of copper-infused memory foam wicks heat away from the body to keep you cool during the night, and it’s topped with another 2″ layer of memory foam with a ventilated surface to allow for more airflow.
The Retreat is the ideal mattress topper for those who prefer a soft feel. Louise, a Strategist writer, stated that when she tested it out, the topper quickly adapted and cradled so she felt relaxed and well-supported. She is prone to overheating in bed, but the Retreat kept her cool and didn’t change much during the night. It comes in two firmness levels and is suitable for stomach, back, and side sleepers.
3. Nolah Beds Luxury Firm Memory Foam Topper
If you’re looking for a mattress cover there are a lot of options to choose from. Some are designed to keep you cool or regulate your temperature while others provide a little extra support or comfort. A mattress topper is a great way to upgrade the comfort of your mattress without spending a lot of money. A memory foam topper is a good choice for most sleepers, though you may prefer the more bouncier feel of an innerspring mattress consider a hybrid topper that combines latex with tiny nano-springs.
For those who sleep on their sides and backs, a firmer topper will better align your spine and ease pressure on the sensitive areas. Our tester Julia was impressed by this four-inch mattress by Tempur that is manufactured in the US and comes with an impressive 120-night trial. She was able to sleep better and was happy by the extra comfort it offered her previous mattress. She did notice an off-gassing odor when she first opened it up, but it went away within the next day.
This firmer option from Parachute offers shredded memory foam that’s not as dense, but feels comfortable. Lauren Levy, a Strategist contributor says it’s “much cheaper than a down-topper” and has the same marshmallow softness. She was awed by sleeping on it, but would not recommend it to front sleepers as her torso cratered into the topper.
A topper made of natural wool fleece is hypoallergenic and soft. It is not as breathable and could make you feel hot at night. Cotton is a good choice because it’s air-conditioned and keeps you cool. Certain fabrics are infused with copper or graphite to keep you cool.
4. Sleep Innovations Gel Cooling Memory Foam Topper
This topper from Puffy is a great budget choice, offering a soft feel and gentle, pressure-relieving support at a relatively affordable price. It is available in a variety of thickness and density options to help you find the perfect mattress.
Strategist contributing writer Lauren Levy loved that this topper is similar to down — it’s “marshmallow soft” and features the appearance of a baffle-box with pillow-like fiber-fill. It’s also hypoallergenic, and comes with a machine-washable cover to ensure the hygiene of your bed.
The 2″ layer of memory infused with copper is designed to increase airflow and draw the body of moisture during sleep. This lets you remain cool. Although it doesn’t have the same bounce as latex toppers, Levy found it to be extremely comfortable. It’s ideal for side, back, or stomach sleepers as well as those who suffer from chronic pain and need extra cushioning.
A 10-year warranty and free shipping are included. This topper is easy to clean by spot-cleaning it and letting it air dry. You should not put it in a washer or dryer because this could void the warranty.
The Sleep Innovations Gel Cooling Memory Foam Topper is a great budget-friendly option for a soft, supportive mattress. It offers moderate (5) firmness which makes it suitable for all sleepers, but particularly those who feel their mattresses are too firm. It also stops motion transfer which is essential for those who sleep in a combination. And, like the Coop Home Goods Retreat topper, it offers relief from pressure for shoulder and neck pain.
5. Nolah Beds Luxury Plush Memory Foam Topper
The Nolah Beds Luxury Plush Memory Foam Topper is an excellent option for those who sleep on their backs and want to soften their mattress and side sleepers looking for more cushioning. This topper can also help reduce pressure points, making it a good choice for those with chronic pain. It is made in the USA using non-toxic materials and is a good choice for those who sleep hot. It features two” layer that is cleverly infused with copper foam that helps in promoting ventilation while providing support. It also comes with an organic cotton cover that provides optimal moisture management. Our test participant Paige found that this mattress did a great job of blocking motion transfer and offered significant softness without sacrificing support. However, she noted that the edges did not fully fit her mattress If support for the edges is important for you, this may not be the right topper for you.
This topper is also easy to clean because it has an easily washable and removable cover. It’s also hypoallergenic as well as antibacterial, which ensures you a comfortable and healthy sleep. It also has five body zones to help support different parts of the mattress. It comes with a warranty as well as a 120-night trial period, which is longer than the policies of rivals.
This is among our less expensive options but it doesn’t compromise on quality. It’s made from a mix of natural latex and memory foam, which gives it a luxuriously soft feel. It features a more dense memory foam layer that provides additional comfort and encourage a restful sleep. It is not an ideal choice for stomach sleepers, as it sinks too deeply. This can result in the spine to misalign. However, it’s an excellent option for those who want a good night’s rest at a lower price.
