Bamboo Mattress Topper

The cover is able to be removed from the memory foam mattress topper and washed. Simply put it in the washing machine on cold and presto, you have a clean topper. It's important to periodically wash the cover to avoid dust mites reproducing. While a dust mite can't make it into the memory foam, they can still thrive in the covers. We expanded on this topic in a recent journal article - "What is a mattress topper?". Washing your memory foam mattress topper is quite similar to how to wash bamboo sheets.

There are a number of different types of mattress toppers. However people often choose between a memory foam topper and down topper. Both are soft and feel luxurious when sleeping. However, memory foam provides better weight dispersion (ideal for people experiencing pain) and reduces motion disturbance from a partner. The downsides are that it can be hot at times and is more expensive due to the material. Down filled mattress toppers are luxuriously soft but lack the same levels of support that memory foam offers. They also aren't vegan as they're made from feathers. As with most things in the bedding space, personal sleeping preferences are key here. In saying that, we believe memory foam is a superior product due to the support it provides while still being soft and more environmentally and animal friendly.

Memory foam is considered the best option for back and hip pain. This is due to the way the memory foam contours around your body shape, providing both comfort and support. Other notable options are polyfoam and latex.

This comes down to your personal preference. We recommend testing various thicknesses to find what you like. The majority of memory foam mattress topper's thickness range from 1 to 5 inches. The determining factor comes down to the net thickness of the topper you are wanting. To calculate this, you need to add the in-built topper of your mattress plus the mattress topper. If you want a super soft sleeping experience, then go for more topper. If you want firmer, then go for less.

Side sleepers benefit the most from memory foam mattress toppers as the material shapes to your body and disperses pressure more evenly, helping your joints.

Cotton and wool are resource intensive materials. Cotton requires vast amounts of land and resources to grow. Wool requires large numbers of livestock to meet the demand. Livestock has been shown to have cascading environmental effects. Bamboo on the other hand is fast growing, doesn't require pesticides and can be harvested without disturbing the soil. All the while matching and even surpassing cotton in terms of its fabric qualities. Feather based toppers are great but are not animal friendly and once again rely on livestock. Bamboo fabric is the best choice for the environment when it comes to mattress toppers. We answered the question "Is bamboo sustainable?" in a recent journal entry.
