Sleep experts share the mattress topper buying mistakes people always make - and what to do instead

We spend a lot of time in our beds. It’s almost 3,000 hours per year if you’re a fan of facts. So it’s important we make our beds as hospitable as possible. While a mattress is the foundation for a comfy bed, a mattress topper can be the cherry on top, but only if you buy the right one.

Mattress toppers sit on top of your mattress and offer some extra comfort. The best mattress toppers provide an extra layer of support and cushioning. This can help you keep your spine aligned and ease aches and pains – especially on your shoulders and hips. You can also get mattress toppers that help you stay cool at night if you’re liable to overheating.
