Why choose a memory foam mattress topper?

A memory foam mattress topper offers multiple benefits for sleepers thanks to the technology of its viscoelastic foam .

For starters, this type of mattress topper helps reduce muscle tension , so it's a good investment for people who suffer from back pain.

The criteria to take into account for a mattress topper

You have already chosen a model: the memory foam mattress topper . Now, you must take into account 4 additional criteria to find THE mattress adapted to your specific needs:

• The dimensions : you must choose a memory foam mattress topper that is your size. Models that can be attached to the four corners of the mattress using rubber bands offer greater comfort in use. Your mattress topper should therefore be the same size as your mattress in width, height and length.
• Thickness : the thickness of memory foam mattress toppers varies between 2 and 10 cm. Generally, it is recommended to choose a model at least 4 cm thick, but not to exceed 8 cm so that the bedding is not too soft.
• Density : the higher the density for a mattress topper , the firmer the mattress topper will be and vice versa. For a memory foam mattress, the foam should ideally be greater than or equal to 40 kg/m³.
• The composition: a mattress topper with a synthetic cover will be cooler in summer, while natural materials such as bamboo fiber offer great comfort. Choose according to your needs and desires.
