Mattress Toppers

A mattress topper is the cheapest fix for a mattress that's gone soft, lumpy or thin without the £500+ commitment of replacement. Toppers add 4-10cm of cushioning and last 3-5 years before they compress. The fill decides the feel and the price. Memory foam topper is the household pick for £30-£100, contours to the body, sleeps warm; latex topper sleeps cooler, costs £80-£200, lasts longer; feather and down toppers are the plush option at £80-£250 but flatten faster. Aspire Furniture, Bedeck Home and Cheap Furniture Warehouse between them cover £9-£736 across the range. Sizing matters: the topper should match the mattress exactly, since an oversized topper bunches at the corners and a small one shifts during sleep. Look for elastic skirt corners (hold the topper on through the night) and OEKO-TEX certification (no harmful chemicals in the fill). Most toppers come vacuum-packed and need 24-72 hours to expand fully.
