Investing in a mattress topper is a great way to improve your sleeping arrangement without having to deal with any of the logistics or hefty price tags of getting a whole new mattress. Memory foam mattress toppers are specifically apt for the job. They add a substantial layer to your mattress and you can feel that body-hugging, supportive difference quickly. They're no fluff, either—that memory foam material does work to give actual support rather than just superficial softness.

Here, we've rounded up seven memory foam mattress toppers that do the job best. Some are from tried-and-true memory foam experts like TEMPUR-Pedic and Saatva, while some of our beloved online bedding and mattress brands have come out with their own toppers, too, like Coop Home Goods and Leesa.

The downsides to memory foam of any kind, even in a topper, is that they pricey and can be known for heat retention. That's what we're looking to mitigate in these picks, with details like gel- or charcoal-infused memory foam that offsets some of that heat. With a range of prices and bed sizes, you'll find your ideal sleep-improving mattress topper here.

TEMPUR-Adapt Topper

TEMPUR-Pedic is the brand that made memory foam a household item, and we'd expect nothing less than the most ideal mattress topper made of the stuff. It has three inches of memory foam with securing straps around the corners to make sure it hugs your bed tightly. It's just a solid overall pick—and a great way to test out if a whole TEMPUR-Pedic mattress is something to consider.

Graphite Mattress Topper

Saatva infuses its memory foam mattress topper with graphite, which helps dispel some of the heat-retentive properties of memory foam. This one is especially good for side sleepers who need a little more softness around their hips and shoulders.

Retreat Mattress Topper

Coop makes a mattress topper that transforms any bed into a whole hotel-style kind of cushiness. Part of that is in the box design: The squares hold bits of memory foam cut with microfiber so it doesn't create quite as much heat as pure blocks of memory foam do.

For anyone looking for a big, cushion add-on to their mattress, it's this one. It's adding five inches of height, but in that plushy, soft way. Some reviewers say it adds enough height to make sad pillows feel new again, too.

Mattress Topper

Leesa's mattress topper is great for a bit of added softness without going fully into cloud land. It's on the shorter end at two inches high, and it has more of a bouncy feeling than a sinking one. If you tend to feel less achy on firmer mattresses but also don't love the experience of sleeping on a rock, this is a great in between.

Memory Foam Mattress Topper

This mattress topper uses a gel memory foam, which makes for a supportive sleep that doesn't spill into an overheated one. It feels soft and comfy to lay on, but not the kind of soft and comfy that requires a full abdominal workout to get out of in the morning. Rather than straps to secure the topper around a mattress, its flip side has an anti-slip material. Although les secure than straps, this is good for anyone who has a thick mattress, which couldn't hold those straps anyway.

Foam Mattress Topper

Tuft & Needle makes one of our favorite mattresses you can buy online with simple, well-made construction that cuts down on extra costs that come with maintaining actual stores. This topper is a reasonable two inches high and made to feel responsive—more like you're being supported upright rather than sinking in.

Memory Foam Mattress Topper

Memory foam mattresses and their toppers tend to be expensive because of their material complexity. If you're not ready to shell out a few hundred bucks, Serta makes a perfectly fine graphite-infused topper that adds a little softness without going overboard.
