How to choose a good box spring topper

Most box spring beds you purchase in Dutch bed stores have a mattress topper. Top mattresses are also widely used in Scandinavian countries; But how do you choose a new box spring topper when it needs replacement? We list some tips for choosing the right topper.

1. The right firmness: A topper should provide adequate support, and thus support your body properly. So which hardness you choose depends heavily on your body weight. What weight the topper is suitable for is usually stated.
2. The materials: There are a number of different materials used in mattress toppers, such as polyether foam, cold foam, memory foam, or latex. Foams tend to feel a bit firmer, allowing you to move easily during sleep. Memory foam molds to your body and offers a bit less freedom of movement. Some people also experience this material as warm. Latex molds easily to your body and gives good support to your body. The choice of materials, by the way, will also be a financial choice.
3. Allergies: Are you allergic, for example, to dust mites? Then choose a hypoallergenic and/or washable box spring topper cover. Do you have a latex allergy? Then, of course, a latex topper is not an appropriate choice. Just know that latex allergy is really not common and there is always a mattress cover around it.
4. The right format: It may sound simple, but the mistake is easy to make. Always make sure you measure the mattress properly and purchase the right size topper! Do you sleep on an electrically adjustable base? If so, know that it is best to opt for 2 separate toppers or consider purchasing a split topper. The latter needs special fitted sheets and protectors. Keep in mind.
