Benefits of Mattress Toppers

At times, the mattress you just purchased doesn’t give you all of the support and comfort that you want and need. You could throw the mattress away and purchase a new one. However, if your current mattress is only a few years old, then it still has lots of life in it, and that could be a big waste of a good mattress.

Another option is to purchase a mattress topper, and that will be a lot less expensive and provide you with an additional layer of comfort needed to get a good night’s sleep at night. Take a look at Walmart mattress topper reviews and find the perfect mattress topper for you.

What is a mattress topper?

It is exactly what it sounds like – a topper goes on top of your mattress. It is like a lightweight thinner secondary mattress that has been designed to provide an enhanced level of cushioning and comfort. 

The thickness of a mattress topper ranges from a thick topper that is almost like a ‘mini mattress’ to lightweight toppers that act more like a duvet that have straps for holding them in place on the top of your regular mattress. The kind of topper you choose will entirely depend on the amount of money that you have to spend, along with the amount of additional support that you want and need. A lightweight topper will start at about $25 for a single bed, and up to about $60-80 for a queen or king-sized version.

If you would like something more substantial, you can pay a lot more money to get a thick topper that looks like a slimline mattress. The highest quality ones are normally made out of memory foam and are especially useful during the winter since they have a tendency to retain a higher amount of body heat compared to regular mattress materials. So if you are feeling cold after summer is over, then putting a memory foam mattress topper on is an excellent idea for keeping you warm during the winter.

Would you like to have something really snuggly for curling up in on a cold winter night? There are some mattress toppers that have a fleece cover called a ‘Teddy bear topper.’ They are especially useful in really cold weather.

What advantages are offered by mattress toppers?

A mattress topper allows you to customize your sleeping experience. You either can take it off during the summer when it is hot to take full advantage of the improved airflow from the main mattress or put it back on quickly if the temperature drops and you need additional warmth.

Whether you choose a thick mattress and removable cover or thinner duvet style, a mattress top is washable, which allows you to keep your bed clean and fresh.

If you have an old mattress that is beginning to feel a bit uncomfortable but you can’t afford to replace it right now, a mattress topper can help to smooth out the bumps and lumps (especially a memory foam one), to considerably extend the life of your mattress.

Is a mattress topper cost effect?

Since they are so affordable (and downright cheap in some cases, you can spend less than $100 (or one a single less than $50) and revive your mattress in just a few seconds. They are the perfect option if you are on a budget to add a bit of added warmth and comfort to your sleep. If you feel really cold you can purchase a heated topper.

However, they do not replace a mattress, so after your old mattress has reached the end of its lifespan, you should invest in a new one. A mattress topper is a cost-effective ‘stop-gap’ solution until you can buy a new mattress, and after replacing it, your topper can always be stored for whenever you need to use it.
