Listen to Mattress Toppers in Zulu:

 “Spend money on what comes between you and the ground.” 

 This is some of the best advice ever given. Buying the best possible tyres, shoes, and mattresses you can afford will infinitely improve your quality of life.  

But now that you’ve splurged on the best possible mattress, how do you make it last as long as possible? 

One way is to invest in a good-quality mattress topper.

A mattress topper is one of those things that does exactly what the name says…you put it on top of your mattress… 

Why use a mattress topper?  

Well, for starters, extra comfort! 

Mattress toppers can be made from high-density foam or sponge and will definitely improve your quality of sleep.  

You can also get toppers made from cotton, bamboo, wool or affordable polyester. The choices are endless. 

An extra layer of protection 

The added benefits of any type of mattress topper is that they are much easier to wash than full-sized mattresses and will definitely add an extra layer of protection to your expensive mattress.  

A mattress topper, (along with regularly rotating your mattress) can also extend the life of your mattress significantly. 

Lifespan 

Mattress toppers, by their very nature, do not last as long as mattresses so consider this before purchasing. A good quality mattress is generally supposed to last between 7 and 10 years, but a mattress topper will have to be replaced every three years.  

Cost 

Mattress toppers can range from affordable to downright luxurious. As with any big-ticket purchase, it’s important to do your research and find the right fit for your budget and lifestyle.  

Some of the other benefits of mattress toppers include: 

Mattress toppers can improve mattress hygiene and fight allergies.

Because they can be easily removed and washed, they’ll cut down on dust mites, dead skin cells and general dirt reaching your mattress. Not to mention unpleasant spills. 

Mattress toppers are versatile and can change the feel of your mattress without having to buy a new one. 

Whether it’s firmness or just more luxury in the form of memory foam or wool, a mattress topper can add that extra level of comfort to your mattress without the commitment of having to buy a whole new mattress.  

No, a mattress topper isn’t the most obvious or even necessary household item, but its benefits can’t be denied and if you want to up your sleep downtime, why not check one out?
