The old adage is ‘you get what you pay for’. But if we’re being really honest, is an expensive mattress topper worth handing over hundreds of pounds for? Could a budget topper be as good an option, or does your bed need one at all?
Looking at our own best mattress topper round-up, our top-performing Simba hybrid mattress topper retails at £379 for a double, while the 4.5-star rated Panda and Woolroom toppers with natural fillings retail at £139.95 and £229.99 respectively. The cheapest to make the cut was a Silentnight Airmax hollowfibre topper with an RRP of £55, which our reviewer praised for its ability to make a firm mattress feel softer, but which didn’t create extra support.
