When choosing a mattress topper, 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 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 pads 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 mold 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 Topper Buying Guide: What’s the Difference?
While there isn’t much of a distinction between a mattress topper and a pad, a mattress protector brings different qualities to your sleep. But how do the two work together?Mattress topper or pad
The goal of a mattress topper/pad is to add an extra element of comfort and luxury to your mattress. If your mattress is particularly firm, a topper will help to soften it up and provide added support. Mattress toppers are also a great solution for giving an older mattress a new lease of life.
Mattress protector
The purpose of a mattress protector does exactly what it says on the tin. It offers an added layer of protection to you – the sleeper – and the mattress itself. 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.
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!
