Mattress toppers are an easy and cost-effective solution for upgrading any mattress, creating something cozier and better suited to your back. By increasing firmness and decreasing hip/back pain relief while simultaneously controlling body temperature and ensuring good nightly rest.
Our pick offers pressure point relief and pillow-top comfort in one, featuring memory foam infused with cooling gel for optimal temperature regulation and an eco-friendly cotton cover that’s both hypoallergenic and hypoallergenic.
1. Density
Mattress toppers won’t solve sagging or permanent indentations in your bed, but they can give it an overall cozier feel while providing additional support for heavier sleepers. While memory foam or similar materials might work better for alleviating pressure points than others, experts typically agree on three to four inch thickness mattress toppers being best for heavy individuals since they absorb most of their bodyweight without sinking too deeply into the mattress itself.
A top mattress topper for heavy people should also be breathable to ensure a restful night’s rest. Look out for certifications like CertiPUR-US or Responsible Down Standard as proof that any ducks or geese used as sources for down in your topper were treated humanely during production.
Motion isolation should also be given considerable thought. Many memory foam toppers boast superior motion isolation properties that can minimize disturbances from partners or children who move around during sleep. A good mattress topper for heavy people will support your weight while conforming to your body shape – something especially helpful for back and stomach sleepers who require firmer surfaces.
Memory foam toppers with excellent customer reviews are one of the best choices for heavy people, as they’re designed to support even larger frames while still offering a comfortable sleep surface. This particular model features 2-inches of proprietary AirFoam that’s engineered to keep you cooler than traditional memory foam by wicking away heat and releasing it through its cooling gel cover – plus its organic cotton cover adds another layer of comfort!
Saatva offers the top-rated mattress topper for heavy people: its Saatva model comes in three thicknesses for optimal comfort. Sleepers who prefer firmer surfaces should select the 3-inch version, while those looking to modify their mattress slightly might find two inches more accommodating. Featuring natural Talalay latex that creates an airy floating sensation while helping distribute weight across larger areas than memory foam or polyfoam alternatives, this Saatva mattress topper offers exceptional support.
2. Material
Material can make a dramatic difference to how it feels for heavy people. It determines how quickly a mattress topper sags over time and influences soft or firmness of a mattress, but most importantly it determines how much weight the topper can bear without losing its shape – lighter materials will sag faster than denser options.

4. Size
If you want to give your mattress some much-needed extra comfort, a topper may be an affordable way. But not all toppers are created equal, so it’s wise to shop carefully when buying one. Certain materials regulate body heat differently which could impact how cool or hot you sleep at night; memory foam tends to retain heat which could leave you too warm in bed while down feathers work better at maintaining an even temperature throughout the night.
