The Best Mattress Toppers of 2024

The Saatva Graphite Memory Foam topper is another excellent choice for anyone looking for a mattress topper to melt into. It’s as thick as the Tempur-Adapt but feels less firm and supportive, making it ideal for anyone who wants a soft topper to offset a firm mattress.

I generally like the support my mattress offers, so the Saatva is a bit too squishy for my liking, but those who want an extra soft feel will want to consider it. It was still comfortable overall and offered excellent pressure relief on my joints.

This 3-inch thick topper fits easily under a fitted sheet and its included elastic straps help keep it in place—though it shifted slightly more during the testing period compared to the Tempur-Adapt.

The memory foam is infused with graphite to keep you cool overnight, and it works well, even when testing in the hot summer months. It may be spot-cleaned as needed.

For an inexpensive mattress pad to add plushness, look no further than the Easeland. Like the Company Store Cool Zzz, the Easeland pad adds a level of coziness that will make your nights oh so comfortable.

It’s thicker than the Cool Zzz, but still lightweight and easy to install. Despite being thicker, it doesn’t relieve pressure points quite as well as the Cool Zzz, but it gets the job done and is an inexpensive solution.

The topper’s elastic skirt prevents it from shifting on your mattress, and it can be thrown in the washer and dryer for easy cleaning. The main downside to this cotton mattress pad is that it didn’t keep me very cool overnight, so it may not be ideal for hot sleepers.

The Nolah mattress topper is made with the company’s signature “Air Foam” material meant to provide better pressure relief and keep you cooler than memory foam. While it’s comfortable to sleep on, I don’t think it keeps me any cooler or more comfortable than the traditional memory foam toppers on this list.

This topper is available in two firmness options, “plush” and “luxury firm”—I tested the plush. This two-inch topper is thinner than some other options we tested but didn’t sacrifice comfort. As a side sleeper, I think it’s very comfortable and provides excellent pressure relief. (Back and stomach sleepers may want to check out the firm option for added support.)

Its corner straps help hold it in place and I only experienced minor shifting while testing. It may be spot-cleaned as needed.

The Leesa topper is a soft option that adds extra padding when you need it. This 2-inch memory foam topper doesn’t feel quite as plush as some other brands on this list, like the Saatva or the Avocado, but it’s no slouch either. It’s on the firmer side, so it may be better suited for stomach or back sleepers, but it still offers good pressure relief for side sleepers.

After unboxing and laying out, it took a few days to completely flatten out, which didn’t happen with any other mattress topper we tested. It also slightly shifted off my mattress during testing, but overall, it stayed mostly in place and was easy to readjust as needed.

To clean, place the Leesa topper in the dryer on medium-high for 20 minutes.

If you’re looking for a no-frills topper for cheap, check out the Linen Spa. It’s not my favorite on this list, but it gets the job done.

This topper is just a two-inch thick hunk of memory foam with no cover. It’s infused with a “cooling gel” that helps diffuse heat and keeps me chill all night.

My main complaint with this topper is it’s too squishy for my liking. I really sank into it, and not in a good way.

It mostly stayed in place during testing with only some minor shifting, and it easily fits under a standard fitted sheet. You may spot-clean this topper by hand, but make sure to dry it thoroughly before placing it back under your sheets.

The Avocado topper is extremely comfy to sleep on—it strikes just the right balance between plush comfort and support—but there are still some downsides that led it to fall further down in our rankings.

This topper is heavy and flimsy—at 32 pounds for a full bed, it’s heavier than most other toppers we tested—making unboxing and setting up more of a pain. Once on my mattress, it moved around a lot and created quite a bit of overhang on the sides after a few nights of use.

I love the feel of this topper, and if you’re willing to adjust at least once a week, it may still be worth it, especially if shopping organic is important to you.

The Sleep on Latex Pure Green isn’t one of my favorites. Like the Linen Spa topper, the Pure Green is just a rectangle of latex foam—though you can add a cover for a fee, which starts at $50 but varies by mattress size. You can select the thickness—it comes in 1, 2, and 3 inches—as well as a soft, medium, or firm feel.

I tested the medium firm option, but the latex foam doesn’t offer enough support for my liking—I felt myself sinking into the topper too much. It also runs hot and shifted off my mattress considerably during testing.
