Silentnight Airmax Double Mattress Topper – 5cm Thick Deep Cushioning and Airmax Technology to Reinvent Your Mattress – Elasticated Straps, Machine Washable and Hypoallergenic, White

Product Information

This generous depth provides ample cushioning but doesn’t ever make you feel like you’re sinking too far into the bed. What’s more, mesh walls around the sides of the topper help to improve airflow and ensure you remain cool, even if you happen to share your bed with a human radiator. Although it’s made from 100% polyester, it’s actually made up of two layers – the top one being extra soft, while the core provides the firmness. So there’s no need to worry about the kind of sponginess that can leave you feeling suffocated and we found it’s particularly good if you’re prone to aches and pains. The elastic straps keep it secure on the bed and it’s nice and warm (a good job as you can’t use an electric blanket with it), although that can be a downside if you get clammy at night.

A few other familiar benefits that come with the topper are a machine washable cover and a 100-night trial period that gives you plenty of time to try the topper out before you decide whether or not you want to commit to it. What’s more, thanks to Emma’s regular promotional sales, you will rarely have to pay full price for it.The problem is that, in a saturated market, choosing which mattress topper you need can be so overwhelming that many people don’t have a clue where to start. How do you work out which type is best for your needs? How much money do you need to spend? How long can you expect your topper to last? Synthetic: For the most part, synthetic is a popular budget option: microfibre and hollowfibre toppers can be a comfortable, affordable and vegan-friendly alternative to wool and down. They’re also relatively easy to wash and dry. What else should I consider?

Filling is the next most important thing to think about, and there are quite a few options out there to choose from: The selling point of this memory foam mattress topper from Emma is that it’s double-sided, offering a firmer side and a softer side. In truth, while this does allow for some versatility, there isn’t a great deal of difference between the two – and it’s particularly important to bear in mind that, as we said in our buying guide, putting any topper on your mattress is only going to make it feel softer.

Panda Memory Foam Bamboo Mattress Topper: The best-value memory foam topperRegardless, if you’re looking for an affordable topper with a lengthy trial period and an eight-year guarantee, then the Dormeo Octasmart Essentials is a smart choice. Silk: Another luxury option, silk is super smooth, soft and hypoallergenic. It’s a delicate material though, so it’ll require care when it comes to washing.

The only issue we had was that the topper we tested (a size double) didn’t quite cover the full surface area of our mattress. This doesn’t impact its comfort greatly, but it does slightly undermine the topper’s edge support. A mattress topper can be an affordable sleep solution in a number of instances. If your mattress is getting a bit old and worn, or it just feels too firm, a topper can provide a comfort layer to extend its life. It’s also a good way of protecting a new mattress from wear and tear, though we also recommend buying a mattress protector.

Though we’ve called this a “cooling mattress topper”, no topper will work to actively cool you down throughout the night. But as silk can help to regulate body temperature, it’s a better option than memory foam for those who get too hot during the night. We like the fact that this topper also has an added bottom chamber that’s filled with a generous layer of gently supportive microfibre – the upshot of which is that it’s much comfier than many of the thinner pure silk toppers available. The elastic straps keep it firmly in place, too. And as you are much less likely to perspire when sleeping on silk, the silk filling remains free from dust mites – great for allergy sufferers, who will also be pleased to learn that silk is naturally hypoallergenic.
