About mattress toppers

Want to change the feel of your mattress without changing the whole mattress? A topper adds an extra comfort layer on top. Compare materials, thicknesses and sizes, then make sure the topper suits both your mattress and the feel you're chasing.

What a mattress topper does

A topper is a removable comfort layer that sits between your mattress and your fitted sheet. It changes how the surface feels when you lie down, softening a mattress that feels too firm or adding a cooler, more cushioned layer on top. What it cannot do is fix the support underneath: if your mattress is sagging, dipping or past its best, a topper will only mask the problem for a while. In that case a new mattress is the better spend, and a trusted Sleep Advisor can run Forty Winks bedMATCH® in-store to find the right support level.

Memory foam and ventilated foam toppers in our range

Our toppers come from Bambi and MLILY. The Bambi My Selection topper adds 4cm of memory foam infused with bio graphene, designed to ease pressure points and help regulate temperature, under a cover you can flip between two sides. The MLILY PowerCool topper adds 5cm of ventilated MLILY AirFoam under a cool knit cover, with corner straps and a non-slip underside so it stays in place through the night. If you run warm, the PowerCool topper pairs naturally with the rest of our summer cooling range.

Choosing the right size and thickness

Buy the topper in the same size as your mattress, from single and king single through to king and super king, so it covers the whole sleep surface without hanging over the edge. Our two toppers are 4cm (Bambi My Selection) and 5cm (MLILY PowerCool), so either one changes the feel noticeably without adding much height to the bed. Allow for that extra height when you buy fitted sheets, as the topper and mattress together may need a slightly deeper pocket. Our bed size guide lists the standard mattress dimensions.

Caring for your topper

Follow the care label for your topper, and ask in-store which mattress protector suits your topper and mattress together. Air the topper when you change the sheets, and turn or flip it as the care instructions allow so it wears evenly. Our product care guide has more on keeping your bedding fresh, and our bedding range covers pillows, quilts and protectors to finish the bed.
