Is it worth buying a mattress topper?
If you can't afford a new mattress, or don't want to replace the one you have at the moment, a mattress topper can help make what you have more comfortable for the time being.
More than half of Which? members who took part in our 2023 survey bought a topper to make their mattress more comfortable (and 85% said it did indeed make their bed more comfortable). A third of respondents bought one to help protect their mattress from wear and tear.
Our lab testers have previously found that a mattress topper won't offer any extra body support but can improve pressure distribution in some instances, such as on a firm or thin mattress, giving you a more comfortable experience.
However, if your mattress is already sagging, or has softened a lot over time, a mattress topper may not make that much difference: it's probably time to buy a new mattress. Our round-up of the best mattresses lists the very best mattresses from our extensive lab tests.
