Investing in a new set of sheets or even a new mattress can't immediately guarantee you with a better sleeping experience. It doesn't always depend on your budget in the first place. A less expensive memory foam mattress topper might be the solution. Here are the reasons why: 

Softens Hard Mattresses

There are many factors why you suddenly opt for softer mattresses. A prenatal or post-pregnancy can be the main reason for most females while suffering injuries or bad postures for males. And let's be honest, we opt for a softer mattress as we stiffened up with age. 

Say, you aren't in the position to replace your mattress right away. A memory foam topper can be your go-to alternative. Rest assured, it can be instantly, softeningly transformative, and less costly. 

Relieves Back Pain

You're probably suffering from bad muscle pains if you're eating for two, you usually get tied up at your desk work, being lethargic, suffering from arthritis, and many other reasons. These will worsen if you're using a very rigid and shabby mattress. 

Opting for any memory foam mattress, including toppers, is the best way to sleep and get up with no pain. It evenly disperses your body weight to lessen the pressure on your body, which is also called body contouring. This equal distribution promotes healthier blood circulation and relieves muscle pain throughout the night, resulting in restful sleep. 

Suits Any Kind of Sleepers 

Are you one of those sleepers who tend to sleep in different sleeping postures? It can be a problem if your mattress is made and designed to accommodate a specific sleeping position, not to mention if you and your partner sleep in different ways. 

But, fret not. Memory foam toppers can lend you a hand with this. Since this topper is basically memory-foam based, it's again designed to cradle each body part evenly, regardless of what kind of sleeper you are. It provides lumbar support for back sleepers, relaxes pressure points for side sleepers, and even aids in aligning the backs of stomach sleepers. 

Provides Cooling Effect 

But here's the catch: memory foams retain body heat. First off, it's because it's denser, which means less airflow. Another factor is its conforming properties. As it contours your body and relieves your pressure points, it consequently uses your body heat to form to your particular shape, which they call a personal sleep zone. 

On the contrary, memory foam toppers (mind the "toppers") are breathable. They're typically made from cotton, wool, and natural fibers, and often stuffed with feathers and natural down, which are all effective materials at cooling down any sleeping surface.

Saves You Some Bucks

You want to swap out that uncomfortable, hard mattress of yours right after you knew about the body contouring feature of a memory foam, which can offer you a personal sleep zone. But when you checked them online, unfortunately, you couldn't afford it. 

A memory foam topper will do the trick then. It's cheaper, yet it's almost 100% the same as a memory foam mattress. Their only main difference is durability. A top-graded memory foam mattress can last up to 15 years, while a topper can live for as long as five years. 

Minimizes Motion Transfer

A bed shouldn't always be blamed. Sometimes, it's your fidgety partner who keeps on turning, tossing, and moving about all night long. Things get worse if you're lying beside a person with an active bladder, and yet you're a light sleeper.

You don't have to change your partner (unless you really wanted to)! Kidding aside, we got mattresses that have minimal motion transfer features. Memory foams, together with other bed materials like gel and latex, can absorb a sleeper's movement, rather than transferring it. 

Counters Dust Mites

Do you know that dust mites eat those dead flakes of your skin left on your beddings? Also, they can't stand cold temperatures, so they love to stay in humid areas. Put simply, your bed is like a food source and safe haven for them, making it the best place for them to stay.

These mites, molds, or pet danders fended off more on memory foam toppers than other conventional mattress fillings. Memory foams are usually made from fluffy (e.g., fiberfill) and denser materials, which made it harder for these bed pests to burrow into the mattress.

Requires Low to No Maintenance

It would be great if we only need to change dirty bed covers, or better yet clean nothing at all. But there's no bedding that doesn't need any cleaning-is there? Of course, it needs some cleaning, which can be pretty much costly and time-consuming. 

The good thing is memory foam toppers don't need a lot of flipping and fluffing, but it wouldn't hurt to vacuum them every now and then. Even a head-to-toe rotation every three weeks can already increase its lifespan.

Takeaway

There's always a memory foam topper that can fit your bed, be it a queen-size, king-size, singles, or doubles-you name it. How about an adjustable bed? Sure! Toppers can flex and bend without sliding or sagging. And rest assured, you can still enjoy an added comfort and support over your mattress.
