Do mattress toppers work?

To make any impact on your mattress, a bed topper needs to be between 2" and 4" thick. If a topper is thinner than 2", it will be ineffective. If a bed topper is thicker than 4", it will feel too squishy.

For a cooling mattress topper to work, it needs to have some cooling technology, such as gel-infused foam or a heat-dissipating cover. Most mattress toppers feature some cooling properties and are available in different thickness options, you can even find them in some of the best cheap mattress toppers under $50.
