The mattress topper is a basic accessory for your mattress as this way you will keep it clean and in optimal conditions for longer.
There are many different styles, softer or rougher, or thinner and thicker. Also, different types of materials can be used: wool, silk, cotton, etc. Depending on the rest of the bedding, one or the other will be more convenient.
Besides decorating and making our rest time more comfortable, it will also better protect the mattress. As we mentioned before, when we say ‘incidence’ we mean that, for example, the mattress gets stained with any type of liquid, or even oil or food, so for these cases it is highly recommended to put on a waterproof mattress topper, thanks to it being made with a polyurethane layer.
This product is also very useful to put on children's beds for very young children who still wet the bed, or even for elderly people or those with some disability.
What types of mattress toppers are on the market?
Thermoregulators: they insulate heat and prevent sweating in bed due to excess heat that the mattress can produce. However, do not think that because they have waterproof properties, these fabrics are not breathable.
Comfort: they have an inner filling that provides an extra comfort to counteract the wear that occurs in the mattress over the years.
Waterproof: recommended for children's mattresses or where children sleep, they have the disadvantage that they can generate excess heat and prevent breathability, due to their waterproof plastic layer, but they will keep the mattress intact regardless of the eventualities that may happen during rest. There are types of mattress toppers that, besides not letting water pass through to the mattress, allow the fabric to breathe. This way, your child, or even yourself, will not feel so hot and their skin will be able to breathe from sweat, and also, it will not cause possible allergies.
What is the difference between a mattress topper and a mattress protector?
Mattress toppers are placed as easily as a fitted sheet and protect our mattress, besides providing an excellent level of comfort. There are waterproof mattress toppers, which protect our mattress against liquids while allowing our skin to breathe, thus avoiding heat. There are also reversible mattress toppers, without a waterproof layer, and with fillings of different qualities and properties, such as fiber, cotton, etc.
On the other hand, a mattress protector is an element that protects the bed on the top and sides, as it fits like a fitted sheet. Mattress protectors are waterproof items in most cases.
What do you need, a mattress protector or a mattress topper?
Everyone needs to rest and achieve a relaxing and comfortable rest so that we can start the day full of energy. We don’t need to tell you that to achieve this, one of the fundamental elements is having a good mattress. But... what if we decide to have, besides a restorative rest, a hygienic and healthy rest? If we have made that wise decision, we should resort to mattress protectors or mattress toppers. Both options will free us from mites, stains, and guarantee a healthy rest.
Once you have decided to opt for a hygienic and healthy rest, you will surely ask yourself do I need a mattress protector or a mattress topper?
The answer to this question depends on your needs and whether your mattress is new or already worn out. If you want to keep your mattress like new and need to protect it from mites and liquids, your choice should be a mattress protector. If besides all these points your mattress is not new and you need to add comfort to your rest, the decision is the mattress topper.
Treatments you can find in the perfect mattress topper for you.
Aloe vera treatment: this not only takes care of the mattress, but also takes care of your skin, hydrating and soothing it during rest.
Anti-mite treatment: this will create a barrier against these micro-insects so that nothing affects your health while you rest.
