Picking a topper should feel easy. Use these steps, and you will get it right the first time.
1) Choose your thickness
- Thin profile adds a touch of softness and smooths minor lumps.
- Medium profile gives a noticeable plush feel and suits most sleepers.
- Plush profile delivers a deeper, cushier feel for firm mattresses or side sleepers who want extra pressure relief.
If you are unsure, medium is a safe starting point for couples and guest beds.
2) Match the size to your mattress
Select the same size as your bed for a neat fit under the fitted sheet. For very deep mattresses, check the fitted sheet depth or choose deep-pocket sheets so everything stays snug.
3) Consider your sleeping style
- Side sleepers usually prefer medium to plush for shoulder and hip comfort.
- Back sleepers often enjoy a medium for a balanced, even feel.
- Stomach sleepers tend to choose thin to medium to help keep the spine aligned.
4) Think about climate and bedding
If you live in a warmer region, pair your topper with bamboo sheets for steady airflow. In cooler months, layer a breathable throw at the foot of the bed for extra warmth without weight.
