The 7 Absolute Best Mattress Toppers for a Better Night's Rest

A GOOD mattress is one of the best and priciest investments you’ll make in your life. The best mattresses are almost always worth the money, though. After all, you’ll spend about one-third of your life (if you’re lucky) on it, so it pays to invest in a mattress that’s right for you. The right firmness, comfortable thickness, a great warranty, and, hopefully, a reasonable price can help you get the sleep you deserve. But, sometimes, even the best mattresses can benefit from a little something more.

Enter: The mattress topper. These dedicated sleep surfaces add a new dimension of plushness to a too-firm mattress or even firm up a mattress that’s a little on the soft side. But, shopping for mattress toppers can be as dizzying as shopping for mattresses since you have to consider many of the same features and technologies. You'll be forced to decide between firm or soft; memory foam or not; natural or synthetic materials; and more.

If you’re ready to take your existing mattress to the next level, we’ve got you covered. For the last year, we researched dozens of models from many of the best bedding stores and brands, like Avocado, Parachute, Sleep Number, and more.
