Mattress toppers are an easy, cost-effective way to boost the comfort of your existing mattress. Traditionally, they’re filled with materials like wool, down, feathers or other man-made fibres but, in recent years, another material has taken the market by storm: Memory Foam.

The question is, just how effective are memory foam mattress toppers - and are they beneficial for your back? Whether you suffer from back pain already or would like to take steps to prevent it, this article should help you decide whether memory foam is right for you. 

Why memory foam?

First, a look at the material itself. The only difference between memory foam and regular mattress toppers is the material. After all, they all fit onto your mattress the same way and serve the same purpose. 

What’s unique about memory foam is the way it moulds to the contours of your body. Unlike the other materials listed above, memory foam constantly adapts its shape to yours, even as you twist, turn and change your sleeping position throughout the night.

The net result of this is that your whole body - back included - is always supported. No matter how you sleep, a memory foam mattress topper will relieve pressure on your spine, lower back, shoulders and hips, helping to keep back pain at bay. 

Are memory foam mattress toppers worth it?

If you’re living with back pain on a daily basis - or simply want to take good care of your back to prevent any issues from arising in future - a memory foam topper is well worth the investment. 

A variety of different options are available to suit your preferred sleeping position, firmness and, of course, the size of your mattress.
