What is the difference between a topper, a mattress cover and a regular mattress. And why are all three needed

A sagging mattress, a hard sofa or, conversely, an unusually soft bed - each has its own reasons for “back aches”. It seems that the solution in this situation is the same: change the mattress. But what if there is no such opportunity now?

A temporary and sometimes permanent solution can be a topper.

What is a topper?
The word topper has many meanings. But they all come down to one thing: "that which lies above." Confectioners call “topper” decorative topping for cakes, advertisers - elements protruding beyond the borders of the billboard. And topper is a thin mattress. More precisely, the "upper mattress".

Why do we need toppers on the mattress? Mainly in order to conceal the irregularities of the main berth.

How is a topper different from a mattress?
1. The thickness. For a topper, it starts from 2 cm, while “adult” mattresses are not thinner than 15 cm, and children's mattresses are 12 cm.

2. Filling. The topper mainly consists of one layer of material (filler) and a cover. Sometimes there are more expensive two-way options, consisting of two or more layers of filler. Single-layer mattresses can be found more likely in the segment of "budget country".

In the photo: in the context - mattress base, mattress and topper. Pay attention to the design of the spring block in the base and the mattress and the lack thereof in the topper. Spring toppers are not. On the picture -Hastens

3. A topper usually has elastic bands. Elastic loops in the corners allow you to securely fix it on the surface. This is necessary so that the topper forms a whole with the bed. The mattress is usually not fixed to the base of the bed.

How is the topper different from the mattress pad?
1. Task. Topper is bought to smooth out the bumps in the bed, soften or make it harder. The mattress cover is needed to protect the mattress from pollution - it’s washed, not the mattress cover (even if it is removable). The mattress cover may be water repellent, the topper may not.

2. The thickness. The mattress cover looks more like a thin blanket or an insulated sheet with elastic bands for fixing. Topper is still a mattress.

3. Care. The mattress cover is placed in the entire washing machine, it can be washed. Most toppers have a non-removable cover (IKEA is an exception), and fillers are not washable: only dry cleaning is suitable. That is why it is necessary to use mattress covers to protect the topper.

Thicker is better?
Usually yes. The more material in the topper, the longer and more efficiently it will cope with its task (to hide the roughness of the bed). And that is why bilateral toppers are not the best choice. The height of the material is not enough for it to show its properties.

And when is it better to use a thin topper?
When it is supposed to be twisted, folded and stored in this form. For example, your sofa bed has a composite berth of the "dolphin" type (part of the sections are fixed, and part goes under the seat when folding). Due to its small thickness, the topper can be folded and put into the laundry box under the seat.

In what situations is topper salvation?

1. Rented apartment or cottage

When you do not have the most comfortable sleeping place, but there will definitely not be another. Usually this is either an old mattress (partially squeezed) or a folding sofa, which consists of several sections - “slides” alternate with recesses. It is required to level the surface of the berth.

Here you need to understand: you want a bed softer or tougher (the choice of filling material depends on this).

  • Softtoppers made of polyester (synthetic winterizer), memory foam and polyurethane (pictured). Polyurethane has different hardnesses: a “soft” one feels a thin mattress with a density of 25-30 kg / m3 and a hardness of 10-15 kPa - refer to these numbers.

And one more thing: if you want softness, you will have to take a topper higher - options up to 3 cm will not solve your problem, and very soon you will again feel mounds and springs. The best option for smoothing the roughness of the bed is a topper with a height of 5 cm or more, this amount of filler will be enough to even the bed and improve its physical characteristics.

  • Medium Soft / Hard Toppers made of elastic polyurethane, polyester (struttofiber, holkon) and natural or artificial latex. This is the case when you can buy a thinner topper and fold it with a sofa (for example, if it's a French or American folding bed).

  • Hard toppers consist of coconut coir (pictured) and hard polyurethane. They practically do not miss and keep their shape well. But be prepared that the coir topper cannot be minimized. For a sagging mattress, suitable for a folding sofa - alas.

2. Wake up with back and neck pain
Often this happens if the pillow does not fit. But sometimes it happens from sleep on the couch, where there is no orthopedics at all - the sleeping place is formed not by an internal folding bed, but by the very pillows on which they sit during the day. Over time, sleeping on it becomes uncomfortable, and the back and neck begin to ache from pain.

The topper for the sofa will help to cope with the problem - from soft polyurethane or memory foam. It will provide a feather bed effect, and the sofa will serve him well. You will get an analogue of a mattress: an elastic base and a “comfort layer”.

Important: Don't fall for the tricks of marketers. Toppers with a surface in the form of cones or other cutouts will give a small massage effect. But they will not replace an orthopedic mattress. For the prevention of curvature or support of the spine, a comprehensive solution is needed: the right pillow, specially selected for you and a mattress on which the spine does not bend. The amount of filler used in the toppers is not enough for this.

3. Sleep alone in the same bed, but on different mattresses
Indeed, sliding into a gap between mattresses in a dream is still a pleasure. But the topper is not the best helper here. To close the gap, it is easier to use a wedge or connector (pictured). It costs much less than a topper and can be used to connect not only mattresses, but also parts of the sofa.

Important: If the weight of sleeping people is very different (one mattress becomes much lower than the other), no topper will help. He just can't make that difference!

4. Need a place for guests
Topper is a guest sleeping option in the absence of one. You can soften a cot, arrange a "bed" on shifted chairs or even just on the floor. And then just as quickly remove it - folding or folding a thin mattress and sending it to be stored in a closet.

Important: Not all toppers can be folded or twisted. For example, thin polyurethane foam mattresses can break at the folds. Products from coconut coir and natural latex - too. Toppers with a height of more than 7 cm take up a lot of space and risk not fit in a box for storing bedding.

A simple and affordable solution in this case is a single-layer topper made of polyester (holkon, synthetic winterizer) or polyurethane foam.

Tip: To prevent the topper from getting dirty during transportation, wrap it with foil or place it in a case.

Summarize
1. The optimal height of the topper is 5 - 7 cm. Thin, most likely, will not solve the problem and will bring disappointment. High - difficult to store (takes up a lot of space).

2. Thin toppers of two or more layers are not very effective - the small height of the product makes it impossible for any of the fillers to show their qualities. If you decide to buy a multilayer - take medium or thick (10 cm).

3. Buy a topper with a removable cover (or a separate cover for the topper or a separate mattress cover). Otherwise, there will be difficulties with washing.

4. Coconut coir cannot be folded. If the topper needs to be folded and cleaned, your filler is polyester, a memory foam.

5. Thin mattress - not a substitute for the usual. Topper will help to temporarily improve the situation, but will not replace a full-fledged bed with a properly selected mattress.

Criterias of choice

Topper is a thin mattress on a sofa with a standard thickness of 4 to 10 cm. The main task of such products is to increase the comfort level of a berth. The main criteria for their selection are as follows:

  • Type of filler.
  • Degree of rigidity.
  • The size.
  • The presence / absence of a cover.
  • Type of topper.
  • Product manufacturer.

How to choose a topper on a mattress by type of filler

Materials for the production of "filling" mattresses toppers are divided into synthetic and natural:

  • Coconut Coir. It is made from specially processed coconut fibers. Koyra increases the rigidity of the mattress. It is resilient, holds its shape perfectly and is also hypoallergenic.
  • Natural latex. Another filler of natural origin. It is made from the milky sap of a rubber tree. Natural latex is very elastic, perfectly retains its shape and lasts a long time.
  • PPU (polyurethane foam). He is artificial latex. The quality is absolutely identical to natural. The advantage is a lower price than natural latex.
  • Hollofiber. This is another synthetic filler, owing its origin to the latest textile technology. Material perfectly keeps heat. Sleeping on it is soft and pleasant.
  • Memories of forms. This is a rather expensive material with special properties. Memori is able to “remember” and for some time hold the shape of objects lying on it. This filler is specifically designed for gourmets of sleep. Resting on a topper with a memorial form filler is infinitely convenient, because it literally adapts to the shapes of your body.

What is the degree of rigidity

It is very easy to navigate this issue. There are only 3 degrees of rigidity:

If you want to make the bed softer - choose a mattress topper with a low degree of rigidity. If you need good support for the spine, you should buy a topper of high rigidity. It has the best orthopedic properties. A medium hard product will balance all these points.

The combination of filler qualities and degree of stiffness determines weight recommendations for a particular product. Be sure to read the weight limits! Mattresses with a low degree of hardness are usually not suitable for people heavier than 100 kg. Under excessive load, such products quickly “shrink” and lose their properties.

For users with a large body weight, it is advisable to choose toppers of medium or high rigidity. 2-sided products are also suitable, one side of which is hard and the other is softer. They can be periodically turned over so that the filler restores the structure.

Product Size

Like a regular mattress, the topper on the sofa correlates with the parameters of a berth. It happens:

Now manufacturers offer mattresses toppers in a wide range of sizes (from 80x186 to 180x200 cm) and for any type of furniture. If necessary, you can order an orthopedic topper according to the individual size of the customer.

Do you need a cover?

The vast majority of buyers answer this question in the affirmative, so manufacturers usually offer toppers in cases.The latter are sewn from natural hypoallergenic materials that:

  • do not cause skin irritation,
  • provide sleep hygiene
  • easy to erase
  • serve a long time.

Covers are mostly removable. Fixed with a zipper. You just need to unfasten it, remove the cover and throw it into the washing machine. Such products can easily machine wash.

What are the types of toppers

The classic topper is not very thick, so it is usually springless. Orthopedic properties of the product are achieved by a combination of different filler materials. There are also folding and curling products, convenient for transportation and temporary storage when folded.

When choosing a mattress topper for a sofa, consider the type of fastening: elastic bands or Velcro. Elastic bands are sewn on topper corners. They allow you to quickly and easily fix the product on an orthopedic mattress. Thin toppers with this type of attachment are also called mattress covers.

Velcro products are suitable for sofas and complex sleeping systems, to which it is impossible to attach a mattress topper with rubber bands.

Silver Care Relax

Silver Care Relax - the king of mattress covers completes the rating of toppers on the sofa. It uses a special material with the 3D effect, which provides micromassage and relaxing effects. Indescribable luxury!
