A memory foam topper offers a hefty layer of comfort and can alleviate pressure points. It is a good option for side or back sleepers and can help relieve pains from an old mattress. A memory foam mattress will also decrease the chance of deep or sagging impressions.

Some toppers are filled a mixture of feathers and duck down, giving a plush pillow-top feeling.

You can use mattress pads, protectors, or encasement in conjunction with a topper in order to safeguard and enhance comfort. Mattress protectors are an extra thin layer that covers the mattress and keeps moisture, bacteria, and dust mites off the mattress.

Storage
A mattress topper is a great method to extend the life of your mattress and provide additional support and comfort. It can also help in preventing sagging and softening over time. A mattress topper may lose its shape or even become moldy if not stored properly. Place your mattress topper in a climate controlled space, like an storage unit. This will stop mold and mildew from growing and causing damage to your mattress topper made of foam. A storage unit can keep your mattress topper cool and dry and prevent the growth of harmful bacteria in warm and humid regions.
Before storing your mattress remove it from all bedding. This will ensure that it is as spotless as possible and helps to prevent dust mites from settling in the cushion. It is possible to spot clean any stains on the top of the cushion. If the stains on the topper are not cleaned, the odors can grow and affect your sleep.
If your mattress topper came with an storage bag, you can reuse it for the best protection. Alternately, you can make use of a large vacuum or plastic storage bag. Be sure to select one that is the right size for your mattress topper. If it's not you can use duct tape around the edges to create an airtight seal. A vacuum-sealed plastic or plastic storage bag can cut down on your mattress topper's bulk making it easier to store and move.
You can also store your mattress topper in a spare linen closet or other dry, clean space in your home. Avoid storing your topper in areas that are humid like basements or attics, as they could be breeding grounds for moisture, which can cause the topper to develop mold and mildew. If your topper was exposed to damp conditions for an extended period of time, it might not be able to recover to its original form or provide the support and comfort you require.
The mattress topper you have can last for years if you take care of it. If you notice it beginning to deteriorate or losing its shape, you may consider replacing it after 3 to 5 years.
