The best mattress toppers

telegraph.co.uk:

A great mattress topper will optimise any mattress to suit your personal preferences - and can make a bad mattress bearable.

If you can't afford to buy a glorious new mattress, they can be a good temporary solution to improve the quality of your sleep (particularly handy if you're renting a furnished property).

After all, sleep is important - and vital for your health. But as well as providing added comfort (in the form of firm support or squashy cushioning), a mattress topper will protect your mattress from stains and dust mites.

Size is important: mattress toppers come in lots of different sizes - so make sure you buy a super king, king size, double or single mattress topper depending on the size of your bed.
