Creating the perfect sleep setting has become complicated. It goes beyond just a mattress topped off with the perfect sheets now. And thanks to abundance of choice on the internet, it's hard to know where to even start. My secret to the perfect night's sleep is a mattress topper. If you use one, you know why it's amazing. If you don’t use one, it might be the solution you’ve been waiting for.

My old mattress wasn't giving me the same level of comfort it did when I initially bought it. But still, it wasn't so bad that I felt like I needed commit to a whole new one just yet. Thus, I found my solution: The Coop Retreat Mattress Topper.

It Offers Next Level Support and Comfort

I’ll jump right to it: This thing is incredibly cozy. It gives you five inches of plush support that’s packed with 100 percent virgin memory foam, which is both CertiPUR-US and GreenGuard Gold certified. What does that mean exactly? In layman's terms it translates to being a choice you can feel good about purchasing because it's organic and free of harmful chemicals (which surprisingly can be found in products from a bunch of bedding brands).

As for the thickness, every single time I plop onto my bed it feels like a plume of air blows out from under me, as I sink into a fluffy cloud. For some, this might be their worst nightmare as they imagine this doesn’t come with support, but they’re wrong. The topper is constructed in the brand's signature baffle box grid design that's like a bunch of tiny pillows sewn together. Each time you lay on it, it perfectly accommodates your body's pressure points, offering support in all the right places.

You’ll Feel Like You Have a New Mattress

The main selling point here is that I feel like I have an entirely new mattress. Whether you have a memory foam mattress or a traditional box spring, over time it wears down. Most models have a lifespan in the five-year range, and for some that aren’t the best quality, it might be even shorter. I’m here to tell you: Before jumping down the mattress-shopping rabbit hole, trying this topper first might end up saving you a few bucks.

My mattress is made of gel and memory foam and that sunk-in, worn-out feeling came too soon. After throwing this on top, it felt like new again. My old mattress isn't a complete waste though, because even through the inches of plushness, I can still feel the support that the base offers deep down. This add-on gave it exactly what it needed: a little pick-me-up.

Sweaty Sleepers, This Is For You

Throughout the night I tend to run hot and the wrong bedding can turn me into a sweaty sleeper. The Coop Retreat was made to combat this as it can regulate your temperature no matter the season. This winter, I’ve felt myself sinking into it and soaking up that extra warmth; but on artificially hot nights when my heater is blasting, I surprisingly found myself not overheating at all. That’s because the brand specifically designed it with a cross-cut foam blend made with microfiber that promotes breathability and air flow.

Now I sleep at the perfect temperature, have that dreamy plush feel, and it all cost less than $300. This doesn’t even compare to the price I would have forked over for a new mattress. Whether you’re looking for a refreshed feel or you're on the fence about getting a new mattress, this is worth a try first.
