Key Factors to Evaluate
Important factors include foam density, thickness, firmness level, and heat retention. Higher density foams tend to be more durable, while thickness affects how much the mattress surface changes. Breathable covers and open-cell structures can improve airflow.
Who Benefits From a Topper
Toppers can help soften a firm mattress, add cushioning to an older bed, or improve pressure relief for side sleepers. They are also a lower-cost option compared with buying a new mattress.
