A mattress topper is the simplest way to change how your bed feels without buying a new mattress. Our bamboo memory foam toppers come in every UK size, from single and double to super king, so you can add a softer, more contouring layer to the mattress you already sleep on.
Selecting a Suitable Layer for Your Bed
Material Options
Memory foam contours to your body and eases pressure on your shoulders and hips, so a topper can soften a mattress that feels too firm.
Thickness and Firmness
Thinner options work well for subtle adjustments without altering mattress height much. Thicker versions deliver more noticeable cushioning and can soften a firmer surface. Consider body weight and preferred sleep feel when deciding, as a thicker layer may suit side sleepers while a slimmer one fits those who prefer closer contact with the original mattress.
Care and Longevity
Regular airing and spot cleaning help maintain freshness. Check manufacturer guidance for any removable covers. These layers extend mattress life when used appropriately but may not correct deep structural issues. Replacement of the full mattress becomes necessary once sagging or wear affects overall support.
Choosing a double mattress topper
Measure your mattress before you order. A UK double is 135 x 190cm, and our toppers also come in an EU double size if your mattress was made abroad. Memory foam toppers suit you if your mattress feels too firm or you wake with sore shoulders or hips, because the foam moulds to your shape and eases pressure.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best mattress topper in the UK?
For most people, the best mattress topper is one that adds comfort where your mattress falls short, and memory foam is a popular choice because it contours to your body and eases pressure on your shoulders and hips. Our bamboo memory foam toppers use gel-infused foam to help you sleep cooler, with a removable, washable bamboo cover. Choose the one that matches your mattress size.
How thick should a mattress topper be?
A topper of around 5cm makes a noticeable difference to comfort without adding much height to your bed. Our bamboo memory foam toppers are all 5cm deep. Thicker layers suit side sleepers and anyone softening a very firm mattress, while a slimmer layer keeps you closer to the feel of your original mattress, so think about how much change you want.
Do mattress toppers help with back pain?
A topper can make your bed feel more comfortable, but it isn’t a fix for back pain or for a mattress that has lost its support. Memory foam moulds to your shape and eases pressure on your shoulders and hips. If your mattress sags or feels lumpy, it’s usually time for a new one. For ongoing back pain, speak to your GP or a physiotherapist.
