Which topper for ziplink mattress

Michael asked
6th February 2014

Dear John and Ryan, I bought your Origins 1500 pocket kingsize zip-up mattress last year and my wife and I are using it on a slatted oak bedframe. I have found it very comfortable, though I have never been a true side-sleeper, which she is, and she finds it too firm. She prefers beds where she sinks in, even when they feel cheap and springy to me. We have a Baavet wool topper at present, which is soft and warm, but not about additional depth. I am considering a mattress topper as a present and I wonder if it would really help the lack of sinking in. Perhaps it would need to be quite deep to really make a difference?

I presume a king-size topper would be alright on the zip-up mattress, but is getting a half-size one an option, so as to make her side of the bed as deep as necessary?

What would you recommend?

Hi Michael,

Thanks for getting back in touch and we’re glad the mattress is comfortable.

It can be very difficult to get the perfect mattress for both sleepers, especially if they sleep in different positions and are different weights.

There are ways to tweak the mattress to make the comfort layers deeper for example.

If you want a deeper sink then the ideal option would be either a latex mattress topper or a laygel hybrid foam topper.

I wouldn’t recommend a microfibre topper if you need this deeper sink as they simply are not made for that purpose.

The latex would be the most natural and top of the range topper for this purpose.

It has a progressive slow sink but also is very responsive so will bounce back to its original shape quicker than say a memory foam topper.

Laygel would be the softest topper we have thats also very springy, so if your wife likes the springy feel this maybe ideal.

We also do this in a deep 7.5cm depth, allowing a really deep sink.

I would only recommend getting a full size topper for the entire bed or there will be a noticeable ridge and height difference down the middle Michael.

What I would advise Michael is that you maybe try out the sensation of latex in a bed store or hybrid foam mattresses.

I wouldn’t advise memory foam as this is slow to recover and is very heat retentive, something to bear in mind with any topper I’m afraid.

Latex however and Laygel are the least heat retentive of these styles of topper.

We have published some mattress video guides to how these foams feel and react which may help to explain what they would feel like.
