Natural Mattress Toppers – pure comfort for your bed

A mattress topper refines the feel of your bed, protects your mattress, and creates a pleasant sleeping climate. It can make a mattress that feels too firm softer, provide better body support, and extend the lifespan of your mattress. Particularly popular are toppers made from natural materials such as natural latex or memory foam with covers made from organic cotton or wool, as they are breathable, durable, and free from harmful substances. Available in sizes from 90x200 to 200x200 as well as family bed toppers in 240x200, 270x200 and other custom sizes, they offer natural comfort for every bed and every sleeping position.

Why use a mattress topper?

A mattress topper is an additional comfort layer about 4–7 cm thick that lies on top of your mattress. It improves comfort, balances out mattresses that are too firm or too soft, protects against wear, and supports a comfortable sleeping environment. A topper is especially useful if you want to fine-tune your bed’s comfort without buying a new mattress.

What types of mattress toppers are there?

• Natural latex topper: elastic, highly supportive, and very durable.
• Cold foam topper: breathable, stable, and depending on density, more resilient or firmer.
• Memory foam topper: pressure-relieving, adapts to body temperature, with a “sinking in” feel.
• Gel topper: similar to memory foam but less temperature-sensitive, offering gentle pressure relief.

Natural latex toppers

Natural latex responds immediately to pressure and offers pinpoint support without bounce-back. It provides a balanced, natural feel with excellent air circulation. Natural latex toppers are ideal if you’re looking for a high-quality, durable, and quiet comfort layer, available in h2 (medium) and h3 (firm).

• Advantages: high elasticity, quiet, long-lasting, and natural material.
• Best for: side sleepers, combination sleepers, and those who move frequently at night.

Cold foam toppers

Cold foam is open-pored and breathable. The higher the density (RG), the more durable and shape-retaining the topper will be. It provides a slightly firmer, springy feel and helps add support to overly soft mattresses.

• Advantages: good climate regulation, stable, lightweight.
• Best for: back and stomach sleepers who prefer firmer support.

Memory foam toppers – the topper that adapts to your body

Memory foam (visco foam) responds to heat and pressure, molding perfectly to your body shape and distributing weight evenly. This creates a soft, enveloping feeling – ideal if your mattress feels too firm or you have sensitive pressure points at the shoulders or hips.

• Advantages: maximum pressure relief, quiet sleeping experience.
• Note: can feel warmer; those who move a lot may find it slightly less responsive.

Why choose a topper made from natural materials?

Conventional toppers often contain synthetic foams and fibers that lose elasticity over time and are less breathable. Natural material toppers, on the other hand, promote a healthy sleeping climate and are made from renewable, toxin-free resources. Natural latex is harvested from the sap of the rubber tree, offering elasticity, durability, and biodegradability. Covers made from organic cotton or wool add comfort: cotton is soft, breathable, and skin-friendly, while wool naturally regulates temperature and moisture. The result is a topper that combines comfort, sustainability, and an excellent sleep climate.

What should you look for when buying a topper?

When choosing a mattress topper, several factors determine comfort and longevity. The material is key – natural latex or memory foam with cotton or wool covers ensure breathability and comfort. Consider the firmness (e.g. h2 = soft, h3 = firm) according to your weight and preference, and the height – 5–7 cm is ideal to noticeably affect your mattress feel. Also make sure the cover is removable and washable for long-term freshness and hygiene.

Which topper is best for back pain?

A topper can help relieve back pain if your mattress feels too hard or unyielding. A softer topper provides more give and relieves pressure on the shoulders, back, and hips. Memory foam toppers are especially effective, as they mold to your body and distribute pressure evenly. The viscoelastic foam helps maintain the spine’s natural alignment and reduces muscle tension. Those who prefer a more supportive feel can opt for a natural latex topper, which provides stable yet flexible support. The key is that the topper complements your mattress ergonomically – it can make a firm mattress significantly more comfortable.

The best topper for side sleepers

Side sleepers need a topper that allows the shoulders and hips to sink in while supporting the waist to keep the spine aligned. Memory foam toppers are ideal, as they relieve pressure points precisely and prevent discomfort. Natural latex toppers are also an excellent choice – they are elastic, responsive, and provide balanced support and comfort. The right topper offers a mix of pressure relief and support for optimal spinal alignment.

Topper to make your mattress softer

If your mattress feels too firm, a topper can noticeably soften your bed. Memory foam toppers are particularly effective, conforming closely to your body and relieving pressure on the shoulders and hips. They create a soft, floating sensation. Natural latex toppers in a softer firmness (e.g. h2) also offer gentle flexibility while maintaining support. They are perfect if you want a softer yet naturally springy sleeping surface.

Topper to make your mattress firmer

A topper can make your mattress feel slightly firmer by stabilizing the surface and reducing sinkage. Cold foam toppers with higher density or firmer natural latex (e.g. h3) provide good support and a taut sleeping surface. However, a topper cannot fully correct a mattress that is too soft – in that case, replacing the mattress is the better long-term solution.

When should you not use a topper?

A topper isn’t always the best solution. If your mattress is worn out, sagging, or uneven, a topper cannot fix those issues – it only affects surface comfort. Likewise, if your mattress is already very soft, a topper may worsen the sinking effect. In these cases, replacing the mattress is the smarter choice. In short: use a topper to fine-tune a good mattress, not to fix one that has lost its support.

What does foam density (RG) mean in toppers?

The density (RG) indicates how much material is used per cubic meter of foam (kg/m³). It affects both the firmness and durability of the topper, depending on the material. For cold foam, a higher density means better quality, stability, and durability. For natural latex, density primarily determines firmness rather than quality – a higher RG means a firmer feel. Memory foam sits in between: higher density usually means better pressure relief, longer lifespan, and less heat build-up. In general, the denser the foam, the more consistent and durable the comfort.

Toppers for family beds

Family beds offer a large shared sleeping area for parents and children. To avoid noticeable gaps between mattresses, a continuous topper is used. It creates an even, comfortable surface and eliminates the “visitor’s gap”. Depending on the bed width, toppers are available in 230x200, 240x200, 250x200, 260x200, 270x200, 280x200, 290x200, and even 300x200 cm. Many models also come in extra length of 220 cm for added legroom.
