When choosing a mattress topper or protector, there are a few things to think about. Which size topper works best? What is the best mattress protector? And does having a topper really make a difference? Find answers to your questions with our mattress topper and protector buying guide below.

Mattress Topper Buying Guide: Why Wool?

When it comes to bedding, opting for wool over synthetic materials is a good way to go. Not only is it all natural, but wool also offers a variety of qualities that benefit your health, comfort and wellbeing, such as:

  • Made from biodegradable, sustainable and renewable materials
  • Long life durability
  • Naturally flame retardant
  • Temperature regulating
  • 100% British wool
  • Naturally hypoallergenic
  • Delivered in environmentally friendly packaging

Woolroom are also the first — and only — traceable wool bedding company in the UK. This means that the wool in our bedding can be traced right back to the farm it came from.

These unique qualities are the reason that wool mattress toppers and protectors are in high demand. They’re also much softer than many alternatives, which helps you to achieve that authentic ‘sleeping on a cloud’ feeling. Organic wool is allergen resistant and can ward off mould and dust mites from your bed, which makes for a much cleaner and healthier sleeping environment. It is also a natural insulator, keeping you warm in the colder months and cool and fresh in the summer.


Mattress Protector or Topper?

Whether you’re looking to keep your mattress protected or add an extra layer of comfort to your sleep, our range of mattress protectors and toppers offer a whole host of benefits. But which one do you need? Or should you opt for more than one? Find out more below.

Mattress Protector: Love your mattress? Want to keep it free from stains? A wool mattress protector provides a thin layer between you and your mattress that helps to regulate heat, keeping you cool, clean and comfortable.

Mattress Topper: Struggling to sleep on an uncomfortable mattress? Waking up too hot on a memory foam bed? Choose a wool mattress topper to add an extra thick layer of padding to your bed for maximum, luxurious comfort.

While toppers and protectors work separately to enhance your sleep, investing in one can put a whole new spin on your sleeping environment. And whichever type of wool mattress topper, protector or pad you choose, you can rest assured that they’re all designed to include the sleep-enhancing benefits of wool.

How Do They Work Together?

So how do a mattress topper and protector work in tandem together?

While we all have different preferences when it comes to our sleep, the biggest priority is our level of comfort and support. But we also want to sleep somewhere that’s clean, protected and allergy-free. To achieve all of this, it’s best to invest in both a protector and a topper. They’re great individually, but are much more powerful as a team!

If you’re settled on a wool mattress topper but need more advice, our mattress topper buying guide will tell you everything you need to know about the best mattress toppers available at Woolroom.
