Reversible mattress topper

Good sleep is not a question of price. With our particularly affordable mattress toppers, sleep can be noticeably improved in any bed without having to invest in a new mattress. At the same time, a topper protects the mattress from premature wear and tear, thus extending its lifespan. Due to these beneficial properties, mattress toppers are an extremely popular upgrade for beds and sofa beds to permanently elevate the sleeping experience to a healthy and comfortable level.

In our store you will find a diverse selection of high-quality toppers at affordable prices. Experience the difference in sleep with a topper that perfectly matches your mattress and sleeping needs.

What is a mattress topper?

A mattress topper is a 4 to 10 cm thick mattress topper that serves to protect the mattress but also improves the feel of the mattress or sleeping area. Both old and new mattresses benefit from a good topper. The height of a topper should be selected according to individual needs in terms of softness or firmness. If you are unsure about the firmness, reversible mattress toppers with different firmness levels on the top and bottom offer a flexible solution. To ensure a secure hold on the mattress, mattress toppers have elastic bands to secure them to the mattress.

What distinguishes mattress toppers from mattress protectors?

A mattress topper is also referred to as a mattress topper, as the topper is placed directly on the mattress or sleeping area to increase comfort. A mattress protector has no influence whatsoever on lying comfort. The protector is placed between the mattress and slatted frame to protect it from abrasion.

Mattress toppers improve sleeping comfort on all types of mattress and are recommended for almost any sleeping surface:

• Single and double bed (also box spring bed)
• children's bed
• guest bed
• travel bed
• Bed in caravan and motorhome
• Couch and sofa bed

Disadvantages of a mattress topper

There are no real disadvantages to using a topper as a mattress topper. However, there are a few points you should know before buying a topper.

Bed elevation:

• The bed will be higher by the thickness of the topper, so up to a maximum of 10 cm.

Initial odor:

• Mattress toppers can give off a chemical odor in the first few days due to the manufacturing process. The topper should therefore be aired well before use.

The most important selection criteria when choosing a mattress topper, in addition to the height and material, are the individual requirements of the person sleeping on the topper.

If you are primarily looking to improve your sleeping comfort, you should focus on the core thickness and the filling material. However, if you are looking for a topper to help you sweat less at night or sleep through the night without pain, you need a topper with the right properties. At Matratzen Discount, you will find mattress toppers for every type of sleeper - tailored to the most diverse needs in terms of sleeping comfort, hygiene, heat regulation or pressure relief.

How a mattress topper helps you sleep better:

• A mattress topper with an antibacterial cover ensuresa high level of protection against microbes in bed and helps allergy sufferers in particular to enjoy irritation-free sleeping comfort.
• A mattress topper with climate-regulating properties is ideal if you sweat excessively at night or are cold despite a thick blanket.
• Point-elastic mattress toppers that adapt perfectly to your body shape can alleviate back pain or, in the best case, even eliminate it completely.
• A reversible mattress topper with different firmness levels on the top and bottom is the perfect addition to a guest bed. Equipped with two different firmness levels (H2 and H3), the topper offers the right support for every sleeping guest.

The sleep-promoting properties of a mattress topper depend primarily on the filling material of the topper core.

The most popular and common topper materials include

• Cold foam mattress toppers
• Comfort foam mattress toppers
• Visco foam mattress toppers
• Gel foam mattress toppers

Cold foam topper

Mattress toppers made of cold foam are the most common and popular mattress toppers. The high-quality and particularly durable material impresses with its ability to adapt perfectly to the contours of the body. This ensures optimum pressure relief for the musculoskeletal system and joints. The open cell structure of the material enables good air circulation and ensures that body heat is dissipated and night sweat is absorbed.

Particularly suitable for:

• People who prefer a slightly firmer sleeping surface
• People who sweat excessively at night
• People who wake up at night with pain
• People who move very little during sleep
• People who prefer easy care
• People who value an optimal price-performance ratio

Comfort foam topper

The most important feature of the popular comfort foam toppers is already in their name: They primarily improve the lying comfort of a mattress and thus contribute to improved bed cushioning. Comfort foam toppers are usually softer than toppers made of cold foam, which means that even particularly hard sleeping areas can be transformed into cozy, soft sleeping oases.

Particularly suitable for:

• People who want maximum sleeping comfort without changing their mattress
• People who prefer a medium-firm to soft sleeping surface
• People who change their sleeping position frequently at night
• People who prefer easy care

Visco foam topper

Mattress toppers made of visco foam - also known as memory foam toppers - react to body or ambient heat. The topper becomes softer or firmer depending on the temperature and therefore adapts perfectly to the body. When you get out of bed in the morning, the topper returns to its original shape. The pressure relief of a visco foam topper is comparable to that of a cold foam topper.

Particularly suitable for:

- People who are cold during sleep

- People who sleep on their side or back

- People who prefer a soft surface

- People with joint or back pain

- People who like to sink into the mattress

Gel foam topper

Mattress toppers made of gel foam combine the advantages of cold foam and visco foam. They adapt to the body, react more easily to movements during sleep and offer good air circulation.

Particularly suitable for:

• People who value improved sleeping comfort
• People who want a temperature-regulating sleeping area
• People who want pain-relieving support
• People who are looking for a durable mattress topper at an affordable price
• People who prefer a medium-firm sleeping surface

Mattress toppers are available in heights of around 4 to 10 cm. Basically, the thicker the topper, the greater the effect on the lying sensation.

If the firmness of the mattress is only to be influenced slightly, a thinner topper is the best choice. However, if the overall sleeping comfort of the bed is to be significantly changed without buying a new mattress, a thicker topper is the right choice.

How to find the right size mattress topper

The size of the mattress topper generally corresponds to the size of the mattress. In a double bed, however, two toppers of half the bed size can also be used. This makes sense if each side of the bed is to be supported individually.

• Mattress topper in 80 x 200 cm: for small single beds
• Mattress topper in 90 x 200 cm: for single beds or 1.80 m beds where two people prefer individual sleeping comfort on each side of the bed
• Mattress topper in 100 x 200 cm: for single beds
• Mattress topper in 120 x 200 cm: for large single beds
• Mattress topper in 140 x 200 cm: for small double beds/queensize beds or large single beds
• Mattress topper in 160 x 200 cm: for double beds/queensize beds. Tip: Recommended to cover the visitor's crack between two 80 x 200 cm mattresses
• Mattress topper in 180 x 200 cm: for double beds/king-size beds. Tip: Recommended to cover the visitor's crack between two 90 x 200 cm mattresses

The ideal mattress topper for back pain

Back pain is a widespread common ailment. A mattress that is too hard or too soft is often the cause of pain, which can often be alleviated or even completely eliminated with a suitable topper.

Ergonomically shaped premium toppers, which ensure maximum comfort and support, are particularly recommended for back and/or joint pain. This keeps the back optimally aligned and in its natural position during sleep. The spine, intervertebral discs and joints are optimally relieved of pressure, the muscles can relax and pain does not occur in the first place or is alleviated.

When should you buy a mattress topper?

As described above, there are many good reasons to buy a mattress topper to improve your sleeping comfort. Whether it's because the mattress, which is actually still good, has become uncomfortable - for example, due to a significant weight gain or loss. Or because you want to enjoy maximum restful sleep without having to invest in a new mattress. Correctly selected, a mattress topper will significantly enhance your bed! Therefore, any time is the right time to invest in a mattress topper and a more restful sleep.

When should a mattress topper be replaced?

Just like mattresses, mattress toppers also age with regular use. The reasons - both hygienic and health-related - for regularly replacing mattresses, pillows and mattress toppers speak, you can find out here. We recommend replacing a mattress topper in the same way as a mattress after around five to eight years.
