We have a super king mattress which I find too hard but my wife likes. Is it possible to get a mattress topper that would either do one side of the bed, mine, or 2 different fillings - one for either side?

Hello Kenny,

Thank you for your question. This is a question we get asked a lot about, as many couples find themselves in the same situation. Finding the perfect set-up can be challenging when you both have different comfort preferences. Some brands do manufacture single, large-size covers containing two independent foam inserts side-by-side—one soft and one firm—allowing two people to share one unified topper without compromising. However, this option may change the overall feel for your wife who currently likes the mattress.

While we don't offer that specific configuration, you could add a single-size mattress topper to your half of the mattress. Although this will make your side of the mattress slightly higher than your wife's, it is the perfect solution when one person prefers a firmer level of comfort to the other. You can read more about what a mattress topper is here.

Double fill mattress topper

A mattress topper provides an additional comfort layer to make a mattress feel softer and helps prolong its lifespan by taking the impact of movement instead of the upholstery layers. The thickness and type of topper required will depend on the overall feel you are looking to achieve:

- Slightly Softer Feel: A thinner topper (around 5cm to 6cm), such as a wool, cotton, or slim silk topper, will add a gentle layer of cushioning without drastically altering the feel of the mattress.
- Significantly Softer Feel: A thicker 10cm mattress topper will provide a much softer, more plush surface.

We offer the following mattress toppers in our current range:

Bedding Range:
- Mulberry Silk Luxury Mattress Topper: Our shallowest option at 6cm deep, providing a soft, breathable comfort layer.
- Micro Fibre Topper: A popular synthetic option.
  - Hotel Quality Dual Layer: A specialist dual-layer topper for a high-end feel.

Contemporary Range:

 - 100% Natural Latex Topper: A 5cm deep topper with a medium density.
- Coolblue Hybrid Topper: A 7.5cm deep topper with a 70kg density, designed to provide a similar feel to memory foam but with less heat retention.
- Laygel Hybrid Topper: A 7.5cm deep topper with a 60kg density, offering a soft and highly responsive feel.

 

Please note that our foam and latex toppers are designed as replacements for the specific models in our Contemporary range and are ideal for similarly constructed mattresses. We generally recommend choosing a topper made from materials that complement the underlying upholstery layers of your mattress (for example, natural wool or cotton toppers for natural fibre mattresses). Additionally, we advise trying a new mattress first to gauge its support and comfort before deciding on a topper; you can find more about choosing a mattress topper here.

I hope this helps and should you require any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact our office on 0161 437 4419.

Kind Regards

Michaela
