Sometimes your bed just needs a little extra oomph — and, no, I'm not talking about more throw pillows . If your mattress is too soft, too firm, or in need of some temperature regulation, it's time to add a mattress topper. Hear me out: Even the best mattress toppers are sooo much less expensive than a new mattress.
While no amount of memory foam can fix a crappy mattress, it can add an extra layer of softness and cushion capable of upgrading your sleep setup in a major way. These days, just about every bedding and mattress brand offers a mattress topper, mattress pad , or mattress protector (which are all different, btw—more on that later), so picking the perfect one can be challenging. Are you a hot sleeper with a bad back? A side sleeper with shoulder pain? A college student with an uncomfortable dorm mattress? Don't sweat it bc I've got the best mattress toppers for every type of sleeper below, along with some helpful tips on how to find the right one.
Here's a sneak peek at our top picks: No two sleepers are exactly alike, so I've secured the best options for every material preference, bed size, and budget, from affordable memory foam and cooling latex to plush cotton pillow tops and five-star hotel-level down. While you're at it, level up your sheets and pillows for an even more luxurious sleeping set-up. Looks like bedrotting just became your new favorite activity (as if it wasn't already).
