SUPREME COMFORT: Breathes new life into your bed by adding an extra 8cm of cushioned comfort on top of your mattress. Some toppers, including the Panda topper and John Lewis Soft Touch options featured below, come with corner straps that help hold them in place on the mattress. If you’re concerned about your topper slipping about (which can be a common problem), look out for one with these straps. When we compare Silentnight Airmax 500 and Silentnight Airmax 800 mattress toppers, we can say safely that the latter provides more of an additional comfort for the existing mattress and better durability. Thanks to its unique design, Airmax 500 can be washed many times in a washing machine and it won't shrink or get damaged. Therefore, if you want an extra durability for a bit higher price tag, we highly recommend Silentnight Airmax 800 mattress topper.

Synthetic: For the most part, synthetic is a popular budget option: microfibre and hollowfibre toppers can be a comfortable, affordable and vegan-friendly alternative to wool and down. They’re also relatively easy to wash and dry. What else should I consider?

The elastic straps keep it secure on the bed and it’s nice and warm (a good job as you can’t use an electric blanket with it), although that can be a downside if you get clammy at night.
