As we enter the teenage years of parenting, empty nesting and college life loom on our parenting horizon. My own college years do not seem that far off, though the ache in my lower back and my gray hairs would indicate otherwise. While my roommates and I suffered through the lumpy, old mattresses provided by most colleges, today’s students have more options when it comes to the best mattress toppers for dorm beds, as technology and affordability has improved so much. These days, a few clicks and free shipping mean most students can guarantee a better night’s sleep at college than their parents had.
When my family was given the chance to test the Brooklyn Bedding Copperflex 301 mattress topper, I decided to put it through the paces with our adolescents to see how it stood up to testing. Would it provide an affordable way to elevate and freshen up a saggy, unsupportive dorm bed mattress? I can safely say that we found it to be a high-quality product that meets the claims made by the manufacturer. Read on to find out more about how I tested it and how it fared.
