Bamboo mattress topper

Is great quality sleep and the ability to prolong the life of a mattress a good thing?

You'd get the same answers if you asked the question - "are bamboo mattress toppers good?"

At the crux of it, bamboo mattress toppers are exactly the same as a regular mattress topper, but with some sneaky added benefits that only come from the presence of bamboo.

To answer this question properly, we first need to ask ourselves - what is a mattress topper?

From there, we can leverage that context to tell you all the wonderful things a they can bring to your life.Let's get it!


What is a bamboo mattress topper?

Reckon the devil is in the detail? We think so.

A bamboo mattress topper is a removable layer of material that sits on top of your existing mattress, providing extra support and cushioning for optimal comfort.

Whether you want a little extra support or aren't quite ready to purchase an entirely new mattress, a mattress topper offers extra cushioning that can help with pressure relief and prolong the life of an existing mattress.

A bamboo mattress topper is simply a topper with an ultra soft bamboo fabric cover which offers extra breathability without compromising on comfort.So with that out of the way...

Can you use an electric blanket with a bamboo mattress topper?

Yes, bamboo mattress toppers are an ideal material for an electric blanket due to their ability to wick heat away from your body.

This is an important feature when using an electric blanket in conjunction with a bamboo mattress topper because an electric blanket will tend to retain heat, and a traditional wool or cotton mattress topper would not effectively dissipate this.

Do electric blankets go under the mattress topper?

No, we recommend that you use your electric blanket on top of your mattress topper.

If you put it under the mattress topper, it might not pose a risk but it certainly won't transfer heat nearly as well as you would like.

Product Safety has some great tips for checks you can do on electric blankets that we recommend you skim over.

Conclusion

In most situations, electric blankets are a safe and great addition to your bed on those cold nights. However some people find it unpleasant and they get too hot. In that case we recommend you purchase some winter sheets and also a warm duvet to keep you warm on those bitterly cold nights.If you want to learn more about what mattress toppers do and the different types then follow link.
