Mattress toppers are used for added comfort and are placed on top of a mattress. It's a 2-5 inch slab of memory foam. (visco elastic memory foam)




Many of us may think that investing in a memory foam topper would be a great idea instead of opting to buy a new mattress. It's natural to think that way if your bed is curved in the middle, giving you the hammock effect.

Foam toppers cannot solve the hammock issue as it will simply result in a thicker hammock. No additional comfort or support is added.




Did you know that memory foam toppers don't work for nearly 20% of people? It is of no use to people suffering from acute back pains.

Since toppers suit only mattresses which are hard in texture, they become unsuitable for normal soft beds. In fact using a foam topper will make your bed softer and you may finally end up counting sheep till daybreak!




A major shortfall to foam toppers is that retailers like to store huge quantities for long periods of time.

This affects the foam mattress toppers in two ways.

• The packing system can damage the mattress due to compression and folding.
• When stored for long durations toppers develop compression areas.

Note: Some foam toppers which claim to be a standard 4lbs in thickness, actually become flat after a bare minimum use because of low density manufacturing techniques. With so many retailers are flooding this business, be wary and do your research.
