We often get asked, “What’s the difference between a mattress topper and a mattress protector?” Let’s break it down for you so you can decide what you need!
A mattress topper is designed to add an extra layer to your bed. It’s perfect for softening a firm mattress, giving you that cosy feel. However, keep in mind that a topper won’t turn an uncomfortable mattress into a dream bed for a long time. It’s a great temporary fix, and it can help you figure out what type of mattress you might want to invest in next, like memory foam, natural, or man-made options. Browse our toppers here.
What a Mattress Topper Does Not Do:
A topper is all about adding softness, not protection. If your mattress is already old and sagging, a topper might not be the solution you need. It’s best to invest in a new, high-quality mattress for long-term comfort and support.
The main reason to get a mattress protector is to shield your mattress from stains, spills, and dust mites. It’s like an insurance policy for your mattress, keeping it fresh and clean for years. It’s also great for keeping allergies at bay while you sleep. Mattress protectors extend the life of your mattress by minimising wear and tear. Plus, they can help regulate temperature, keeping you cool in the summer and warm in the winter! Browse our mattress protector range!
What a Mattress Protector Does Not Do:
Remember, you can always use both! A mattress protector can go on first to safeguard your bed, with a topper placed on top for that extra layer of softness. This combination can give you the best of both worlds—protection and comfort. We hope this helps you make the right choice for your sleep needs!
