4 Memory Foam

What Should you look for in a memory foam mattress topper?

by Jenny Peters

Mattress toppers are sold in different thicknesses and the thicker the topper, generally the better the performance, and the better the sleep you will get

Your weight will also determine the thickness of the memory foam topper that you should be considering, as the heavier you are, the more support you will require (and hence the need for a thicker mattress topper). If you are looking at improving rather than replacing your existing mattress, a memory foam mattress topper is certainly worth considering over a normal foam topper.

If you and your partner are of different builds you could purchase two single memory foam mattress toppers to suit your individual needs. A 3 inch pad should be sufficient for the heaviest of builds (in men over 185 pounds and women over 165 pounds). If you feel that this still isn’t going to give you the support you need, it is probably better to look at a whole new mattress.
