Is an expensive mattress topper really worth it? This is what you need to know before investing

Wooden bed with mattress and mattress topper.

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.
