Australian Mattress Topper Buying Guide

Does your mattress feel like it's living past its prime? If you're not getting the good night's sleep from your mattress you'd like, but are not prepared to make the investment in a brand new mattress for your bed, consider injecting new life into your old mattress with a mattress topper instead.

What Do Mattress Toppers Have to Offer?

There's nothing worse than tossing and turning all night while at war with a mattress that no longer provides the comfort you crave. Purchasing a topper for your mattress offers a few important benefits, including:

• Pressure point relief
• Added support for aging, sagging, or ultra plush mattresses
• Improved comfort or softness for mattresses that are overly firm
• Extending the life of your mattress

Each one will greatly enhance your overall satisfaction with your mattress and will allow you to extend the life and value you get from your mattress purchase.

While mattress toppers are one of the great sleep solutions for a worn-out mattress, there are a few things you need to know before you buy to help you make wiser, more cost-effective purchasing decisions.

Thickness Matters

The thicker and plusher your mattress topper is, the better able it will be to disguise the failing characteristics of your existing mattress.

Shifting is Not a Problem

Some people complain of toppers shifting over time. However, purchasing a high-quality mattress cover and using tightly fitted sheets will prevent this from happening in most cases.

Choose your Materials Wisely

Mattress toppers are available in a wide variety of materials. It's important to take your time and choose the right materials for your needs. For instance, someone who suffers from allergies or asthma may be better served by a memory foam mattress topper, while someone who is interested primarily in comfort might prefer a topper made from natural materials such as cotton, wool, or down instead.

Remember your Temperature

Mattress topper materials also matter greatly when it comes to temperature control. Cotton and wool allow air to flow through easier than typical memory foam mattress toppers, though there are memory foam gel infused toppers that provide a nice cooling effect while you sleep. Traditional memory foam may be well suited to someone who prefers a warmer sleeping environment or who lives in a colder climate.

If your body needs a new bed, but your budget is screaming "no way!" then a mattress topper offers the most cost-effective solution to add new life to your old mattress. Buy one today and see what a difference it makes in how you sleep.
