Why do I need an organic mattress topper?

An easy way to add some extra luxury to your night of rest, organic mattress toppers provide extra cushioning, soft comfort, and additional pressure point relief for the ultimate in relaxation. A topper goes right on top of your mattress, and then the mattress pad and fitted sheet go over both the topper and the mattress itself, holding the topper in place. Mattress toppers can be easily rotated and help to add longevity to your mattress. Add the “ahh” to your mattress surface with a topper. Choose an organic wool or natural latex topper from 2 to 3 inches to relieve pressure points, regulate body temperature, and sleep better. The Clean Bedroom offers latex, wool, and hypodown mattress toppers for your sleeping comfort. This is one organic product you should definitely consider. Our recommendation: pair one of these mattress toppers up with one of our organic mattresses for a super-comfortable and eco-friendly sleep experience.

Why choose wool?

When looking at natural ingredients, it is hard to beat the powers of this versatile material. It boasts such properties as being moisture-wicking, dust mite-proof, and great for temperature control. Another benefit of an organic wool topper is that it is naturally flame retardant to help remove the harmful and harsh chemicals of flame retardant commonly used in bedding products. Wool is also naturally hypoallergenic, making it the ideal choice for allergy sufferers. Of course, latex and hypodown have their own benefits, but wool is a powerhouse in the natural bedding industry.

Why choose latex?

Latex is naturally dust mite proof, resistant to bacteria that cause mold and mildew, and it offers a more supportive choice over wool or hypodown. Latex is also incredibly durable and long-lasting since it’s from the rubber tree. It also tends to be firmer for those looking for extra support for pressure points.

Why choose hypodown?

Hypodown is a compilation of a few different natural plant fibers. If you prefer the feel of a topper made from soft and fluffy down but suffer from allergies, hypodown using milkweed plant fibers is a safer alternative. This option offers a softer topper depending on the fill level.

Frequently Asked Questions about Mattress Toppers

Why buy a mattress topper?

Many individuals purchase mattress toppers for various reasons, but the primary purpose is to provide an added layer of comfort to a firm mattress. If you desire a more comfortable sleeping experience and a peaceful night’s rest, then a mattress topper would be an excellent investment. Not only does it enhance your sleeping experience, but it also prolongs the lifespan of your mattress. Furthermore, it is much simpler to remove and clean compared to the mattress itself, making it a practical and convenient option.

Which thickness is best for a mattress topper?

At The Clean Bedroom, mattress toppers range from 1.5" to 5" in depth. It depends on your mattress and the comfort level you are seeking. Thinner toppers can help prolong the life of your mattress while still providing an extra layer of comfort. Once you get up to 3" you’re looking at a mattress topper that will provide greater comfort and support. You can make your mattress feel either firmer or softer depending on the mattress topper you choose.  4" and 5" toppers are considered the maximum thickness for mattress toppers and on top of providing comfort, they are ideal for covering the deficiencies of an older mattress.

Is a latex or wool mattress topper better?

It ultimately depends on your preference, but there are some distinct differences between the two. Wool mattress toppers provide you with an extra comfort layer on top of your mattress, and they provide a super cozy and enveloping feel. They also provide excellent temperature control.

Latex mattress toppers will increase the softness of your mattress and provide pressure relief and additional support. With latex, it depends on the thickness and firmness of the topper. Overall, wool can be described as "fluffier" and latex "spongier," but it is based on your preference.   

Do I need to worry about VOCs with a latex topper?

Not at The Clean Bedroom. For latex mattresses and toppers, the Global Organic Latex Standard (GOLS) ensures that the latex used is at least 95 percent organic. No chemical retardants or polyurethane were used in manufacturing. Therefore, you don’t have to worry about volatile organic compounds’ harmful off-gassing since The Clean Bedroom’s latex toppers are nontoxic and GOLS-certified.  

Are latex toppers good for the environment?

Organic latex is both sustainable for the planet and a healthy option for humans to sleep on every night. Organic latex is a naturally sourced material from rubber trees which is much safer for both the planet and humans. The Clean Bedroom offers only all-natural and organic latex mattress toppers, so you can rest assured they meet your standards for healthy living. Since they extend the life of your mattress, they also reduce waste.
