Mattress Toppers FAQs

• What should I check before buying a mattress topper?

  Check the topper's material, thickness, dimensions, cover, support or comfort characteristics and fitting features. Make sure it matches your mattress size and consider whether you are trying to change the feel of the mattress or simply add another protective or comfort layer.

• How thick should a mattress topper be?

  The ideal thickness depends on the change in comfort you want and the construction of the topper. A thicker topper can make a more noticeable difference to the feel of a mattress, while thinner designs may provide a more subtle adjustment. Always consider the resulting overall bed height as well.

• How do I clean a mattress topper?

  Care instructions depend on the topper material. Some toppers have removable, washable covers, while the internal material may require different care. Novera's Memory Foam Mattress Topper has a removable and washable quilted cover; always check the care instructions for your specific topper before cleaning it.

• Do mattress toppers move during the night?

  Movement depends on the topper design, mattress surface and whether the topper has features intended to keep it in place. Novera's Memory Foam Mattress Topper includes a non-slip base designed to help keep the topper positioned on the mattress.

• Can I use a mattress topper on any mattress?

  A topper should be appropriately sized for the mattress underneath and placed on a stable, suitable sleeping surface. Check the topper's dimensions and fitting information before buying. Novera's Memory Foam Mattress Topper, for example, is currently available in Single, Double and King sizes.

• Will a mattress topper make a firm mattress softer?

  A suitable topper can change the feel of a mattress by adding an additional comfort layer. The amount of change depends on the topper's material and thickness. If your existing mattress is significantly worn or lacks proper support, however, a topper is not a substitute for replacing it.

• Are memory foam mattress toppers good for pressure relief?

  Memory foam toppers can provide a cushioning, contouring feel that may make the sleeping surface feel more comfortable around areas such as the shoulders and hips. Novera's Memory Foam Mattress Topper uses high-density open-cell memory foam and is specifically described as providing pressure-relieving support.

• What type of mattress topper should I choose?

  Choose according to the feel and material characteristics you prefer. Memory foam can provide a more contouring feel, while natural latex can offer a responsive feel and wool can provide a different combination of softness and natural material characteristics. Novera currently offers all three types within its topper range.

• When should I use a mattress topper?

  A topper can be useful if you want to adjust the comfort or feel of an existing mattress. It can also provide an additional layer between you and the mattress. However, a topper is not designed to replace a mattress that has significant sagging, damage or loss of structural support.

• What is a mattress topper and what does it do?

  A mattress topper is an additional comfort layer placed on top of an existing mattress. It can change the feel of your sleeping surface without replacing the entire mattress. The effect depends on the topper's material, thickness and construction.
