Mattress toppers

At Better Nights, we know that a good mattress topper is an essential ingredient for a great night's sleep. A mattress topper enhances comfort, creates a healthier sleep environment, and in many cases, helps regulate temperature, making your sleep more restful and comfortable.

There are many good reasons why you should use a mattress topper on your bed. The most obvious benefits include:

• Enhancing comfort, support, and overall sleep quality
• Extending the lifespan of your bed
• Providing a more hygienic sleep environment, thanks to its removable and washable cover

If you have a boxspring mattress, you won’t be able to remove and wash its cover – meaning that over time, sweat, skin cells, and other particles will accumulate in the mattress. However, this can easily be avoided by using a mattress topper. With a topper, you can easily wash the cover, and if you choose a Latex core, you can even clean the foam itself. The same applies to spring mattresses, where the cover is only removable in rare cases. However, this is a difficult task, and therefore, it’s not recommended to do it frequently. Choosing a mattress topper ensures a healthier bed and a better sleep environment.

When purchasing a bed that includes a mattress topper, it often comes with limited features. Therefore, you should always make sure to get the right topper at the time of purchase or consider upgrading later with a high-quality mattress topper, as this has a significant impact on your sleep quality.

Which mattress topper should I choose?

Generally, there are different core types: Polyurethane, Memory Foam, and Latex. At Better Nights, we have completely eliminated polyurethane foam, as it is the standard "lifeless" foam you may recognize from camping mattresses and gym mats. Polyurethane does not offer any sleep-enhancing properties, which is why you won’t find it in our selection. Instead, we only offer high-quality Memory Foam and Latex mattress toppers, which you can read about below:

• Elastic and provides support based on applied pressure
• Hypoallergenic for a healthier sleep
• Offers both support and pressure relief
• Breathable material that does not retain body heat
• High elasticity and density for better weight distribution
• Durable and resistant to sagging

Latex offers all the features needed for a better night’s sleep. It provides excellent support, as its elasticity adjusts to your body weight. The mattress responds to pressure and adapts to your body shape, ensuring a soft yet supportive sleeping experience.

• Pressure-relieving through body heat
• Reduces movement during sleep
• Contours to your sleeping position

Memory Foam has the unique ability to mold to your body using your natural heat. It allows you to sink into the mattress at pressure points such as the shoulders, neck, and lower back, reducing strain and improving sleep—especially for those with back issues. Because Memory Foam adapts to body heat, it molds perfectly to your natural shape.

Which mattress topper offers the best support?

When choosing a mattress topper, consider the type of comfort you prefer. If you like to sink into the mattress, Memory Foam is the right choice. However, since Memory Foam absorbs body heat, it is not recommended if you tend to sleep warm.

Latex, on the other hand, regulates temperature, making it the best option if you often overheat at night. Most importantly, a Latex mattress topper provides outstanding, personalized support, regardless of your weight or sleeping position.

We use the same high-quality Memory Foam core in all our Memory toppers. The only differences are the core thickness and the cover material. The foam core has a density of 55 kg/m³, ensuring excellent durability and support.

All our Latex mattress toppers are premium-quality products. Our standard model, Latex Prestige, has a density of 70 kg/m³, which is on the high end of the scale. Additionally, we offer the Mayan Green, made of 100% natural latex, with an even higher density of 80 kg/m³.

Weight, Core Thickness & Heat Regulation

When choosing the right core thickness, consider your weight and the condition of your current bed. We recommend a core thickness of 5-6 cm if you weigh over 80 kg. If you weigh less, thinner models may also work well. If you’re using the topper on an older mattress, a thicker core is advisable to minimize existing wear.

Beyond standard models, we also offer specialized toppers, such as the Ocean Blue, which contains gel beads within the latex core to reduce heat buildup at night. Below, you can see the heat regulation differences between our models:

As seen in the image, Latex is significantly less heat-retentive than other materials. The Ocean Blue model is even better at maintaining a cool temperature than standard Latex. If you sleep warm, consider the Ocean Blue topper for optimal comfort.

Elasticity – What is it?

The elasticity of a Latex mattress topper determines its support level and firmness. A key advantage of Latex toppers is their adaptability to different body weights. Unlike other mattress types that require specific firmness levels based on weight, Latex adjusts dynamically, making it suitable for everyone.

Because Latex naturally pushes back based on the pressure it receives, it provides tailored support for different weight classes. This makes it ideal for couples with different body types who prefer a single topper instead of two separate ones.

How to choose the right mattress topper

At Better Nights, we are committed to knowing everything about sleep. We understand that a good mattress topper enhances comfort, hygiene, and temperature regulation, ensuring a restful and refreshing sleep. With so many options available, it can be difficult to choose the right one. That’s why we’ve created this guide to help you find the perfect mattress topper.

A mattress topper is a smart investment for any bed setup. It enhances comfort while protecting the underlying mattress, extending its lifespan. It’s also much more cost-effective to replace a topper than an entire bed. The key question is: which topper is right for you?

Why choose a mattress topper?

There are many compelling reasons to invest in a mattress topper. For some of our models, like the Jupiter and Venus collections, a topper is included. We always recommend adding a topper when purchasing a new bed. Here’s why:

• Significantly improves comfort
• Reduces wear on your bed
• Provides even weight distribution
• Enhances sleep quality

Since the topper absorbs most wear and tear, it protects your primary mattress. Additionally, its breathable and moisture-resistant materials increase the bed’s durability. If your current mattress is too firm, a softer topper can provide relief. Conversely, if your bed is too soft, a firmer topper can add support.
