How much should you pay for a mattress topper? I review them for a living, here's what I think

There's a lot of reasons why I love testing mattress toppers: they boost the comfort of ageing or uncomfortable beds, they have smaller price tags than most mattresses, they're easy to set up, and they come in a wide selection of designs.

However, mattress toppers also come in a variety of prices, and I've started to notice that some luxurious choices cost more than the cheapest option in our guide to the best mattress of the year.
