The 4 Best Mattress Toppers for a Comfy Night's Sleep

Click here to read the full article.

If you’re continually tossing and turning throughout the night, trying to find a pain-free position, you might think it’s time for a new mattress. There’s an easier solution than investing in a whole new king-size, though: Add a mattress topper to your existing bed for a new and upgraded sleep experience.

Whether your mattress feels too firm, is no longer comfortable, or is (ahem) noisy, a mattress topper will add an extra layer of plushness that can conform to your body and reduce pressure on your joints. Memory foam options are typically more supportive and firm, while down alternative versions add a fluffy softness. Either way, they can extend the life of your existing mattress — and protect against additional wear and tear.

When shopping for a mattress topper, consider whether you want a soft, pillowy feel or a firmness that conforms to your curves. Many mattress toppers also offer “cooling” features, like gel beads or air pockets, to help distribute heat while you sleep and prevent a sweaty, fitful slumber.

So if you’re looking to revitalize your existing mattress, we’ve rounded up the best mattress toppers for you to consider. Find the right option for your sleep style and get ready to hit the hay — and wake up feeling well-rested.
