There are three major mattress topper types: memory foam; latex; and featherbed. If you've ever tried shopping for a mattress topper, whether online or in-store, then you will have come across these terms, but you might not feel totally clear on what they mean.
That's where I come in. As H&G's resident Sleep Editor, I lead a team of expert testers in the search to find the world's best mattress toppers. Together, we've tested 12 toppers, from plush pillow tops to firm foam models, so I've picked all the pros and cons of the different mattress topper types. I can tell you everything from how they feel to what they cost and where to buy them.
