If you can't get comfortable enough in a single or double bed or if you are not completely satisfied with the comfort of your mattress, sofa bed or box spring bed, you can upgrade your bed system easily and inexpensively with a 6 cm mattress topper.

What is a 6 cm thick mattress topper?

A mattress topper is a mattress topper made of 6 cm thick foam - either cold foam or comfort foam - which is simply placed on top of the mattress to improve the comfort and sleep quality of the bed. To ensure that the mattress topper with a 6 cm foam core fits perfectly and that the edges of the mattress and mattress topper fit together perfectly, the size of the topper must match that of the mattress.

In order for a mattress topper to help improve lying comfort by relieving pressure on the musculoskeletal system, the bed topper should be at least 6 cm high. Thinner toppers usually have no noticeable effect. Similarly, a mattress topper should not be thicker than 12 cm so that the support function of the mattress underneath is maintained. The aim of a mattress topper is not to replace the support of the mattress, but to support it and improve it with additional comfort properties.

Basically, the thicker the mattress topper, the greater the effect on the lying sensation.

Can a mattress topper with a height of 6 cm make a mattress that is too hard softer?

Yes, the 6 cm thick foam layer of the mattress topper has a significant effect on lying comfort and can make a mattress that is too hard pleasantly soft without losing the supportive properties of the mattress underneath. Due to its physical properties, the 6 cm thick comfort foam offers a good compromise between softness and support, which is why the 6 cm mattress topper is one of the most popular toppers.

Can the 6 cm mattress topper make a mattress that is too soft harder?

Only to a limited extent! The 6 cm high mattress topper can make a mattress feel firmer if the topper has a higher firmness level than the mattress underneath. However, the mattress topper cannot make the significantly thicker mattress any softer.

Can the mattress topper with a height of 6 cm make uncomfortable beds more comfortable?

Yes, the main feature of the 6 cm thick foam mattress topper is that it improves sleeping comfort. There are many reasons why a bed is perceived as uncomfortable. In addition to the right softness or firmness of the mattress, optimum pressure relief for the body is essential for good, pain-free sleep. The mattress topper with its additional 6 cm foam layer can help to prevent painful pressure points and provide optimum relief for the musculoskeletal system, particularly in the case of back or joint pain. The mattress topper can also easily cover up uncomfortable hollows or annoying visitor cracks.

The mattress topper with a height of 6 cm noticeably improves the sleeping and lying comfort of a mattress for little money and also saves money. Using the topper can often avoid the need to buy a new mattress. In addition, the 6 cm high mattress topper extends the life of mattresses by protecting them from premature wear and soiling.
