Doesn’t provide sufficient spinal support, generally not recommended for those with musculoskeletal pain Price: Toppers vary in price and differ in terms of the quality of materials used and construction. More expensive toppers typically use more durable materials that are less likely to deteriorate and may have additional beneficial characteristics (like temperature regulation and hypoallergenic properties). Cheaper toppers are available for those with a lower budget or people looking for a short term fix. These toppers may offer the required comfort; however, they may have a shorter lifespan and not provide the additional benefits mentioned above. At this point, it is worth mentioning that there are no industry regulations or proof of testing requiredthat indicate that a mattress topper is indeed “orthopaedic”. The term is essentially a marketing term and thus allows for some manufacturers to advertise products as orthopaedic that may not differ from a regular mattress topper.

This topper is composed of a 3rd generation gel-infused memory foam (Hydro foam™) that uses open cell cooling technology which involves small heat-sensitive capsules that react to your body temperature and expand when the memory foam warms. The space between the cells releases heat which ensures that you stay cool and foam stays supportive. In addition, this foam fits every sleeper uniquely and retains its shape and density over time.
