mattress topper

Cushioning sleep layer

A mattress topper is a removable layer of cushioning placed on top of a mattress to adjust its firmness or comfort.

Toppers come in various materials—memory foam, latex, down, wool—and typically range from one to four inches thick.

They can extend the life of an aging mattress or customize a bed that's too firm or too soft: We added a foam topper and now the guest bed is actually comfortable.
