A mattress topper adds extra comfort

Benefits of a mattress topper

Mattress toppers have become increasingly popular as people look for the ultimate sleep experience. There are many advantages to sleeping with a mattress pad:

• A mattress topper improves comfort, if your existing mattress has developed indentations or lost elasticity.
• A mattress topper can help adjust the firmness if your current mattress feels a bit too soft or too firm.
• A mattress topper prolongs the life of the underlying mattress, by protecting it against moisture and stains, and keeping it from developing indentations.
• A mattress topper in a material such as memory foam can provide extra support, which can be beneficial if you suffer from lower back or shoulder pain.
• A mattress topper can help dampen the noise of a creaking mattress.
• A mattress topper can help absorb the movements of someone sleeping next to you.
• A mattress topper is much more affordable than buying a new mattress.
• A mattress topper can improve bed hygiene, as many come with a machine washable cover. This is especially beneficial if you suffer from dust mite allergy.

Types of mattress toppers and materials

Our mattress toppers consist of a core made from different varieties of form, each with their own benefits. If you're not sure what type of mattress topper to choose, you can read a little more about the different materials here.

Memory foam mattress topper

A memory foam mattress topper will adjust to the shape of your body, providing excellent comfort and support. Memory foam provides some of the highest levels of comfort and support and will give you a sinking and enveloping feeling. The high level of support makes it a great mattress topper if you suffer from back pain. Memory foam is not a very breathable material, so if you tend to get hot throughout the night, you should consider choosing a gel foam mattress pad.

Gel foam mattress topper

Gel foam is a soft foam which shapes to the contours of your body, similarly to one made of memory foam. Infusing gel into the foam helps keep the surface cooler and dissipate body heat. If you're a hot sleeper looking for a cooling mattress topper, a gel foam mattress topper is an excellent choice.

High-resilience foam mattress topper

High-resilience foam is an oil-based foam that offers a medium-firm to firm feel. Also known as cold foam, a high-resilience foam mattress topper is ventilating and great at absorbing moisture. A mattress topper of high-resilience foam will provide you with additional comfort, while being affordable and durable.

Polyether foam mattress topper

Polyether foam is also known as standard foam, regular foam, PU foam, or PUR foam. A mattress topper made of polyether foam is absorbent and affordable. It primarily serves to protect the underlying mattress rather than significantly enhancing comfort.

Mattress topper sizes

Your mattress topper should fit the size of the underlying mattress. At JYSK you can find mattress toppers in a variety of sizes to fit your mattress:

• Single mattress topper
• Small double mattress topper
• Double mattress topper
• Euro double or queen size mattress topper
• King size mattress topper
• Super king mattress topper

Choosing the right mattress topper thickness

Most mattress toppers have a thickness, or core height, between 3 and 5 cm. The thicker the mattress topper the more comfort and support, and the greater effect it has on your bed and sleeping setup as a whole. A thin mattress topper will only create minor changes to the feeling of the underlying mattress. On the other hand, a thick mattress topper will significantly enhance the comfort and support of your bed.
