Why add a topper?
Toppers adjust comfort, add pressure relief, and can extend mattress life.
Materials
Memory foam adds contouring, latex adds bounce and cooling, feather/down adds plushness, and synthetic fibre offers affordability.

Depth & firmness
Thicker toppers (5cm+) give more cushioning; thin ones fine-tune firmness.

Care tips
Use a protector, rotate periodically, and air it out to keep fresh.
FAQs
Can a topper fix a bad mattress?
It can mask minor issues but won’t fix deep sagging.
