A good mattress topper can instantly take your bed from good to exceptional, and extend the life of your mattress. The trick is knowing what actually matters when you choose one.
Here are five key things to consider when choosing one.
1. Skip the Foam
A memory foam mattress topper might sound impressive, but foam traps heat and relies on synthetics. If you don’t want to wake up sweaty, skip it. Feather and down toppers are different because they breathe naturally, keeping you comfortable in every season without chemicals or gimmicks.
2. Pick Your Fill
At Puradown, we only use natural, ethically sourced feather and down.
-
Duck down mattress toppers are breathable, light, and a reliable all-rounder.
-
Goose down mattress toppers hold a little extra warmth, perfect for cooler climates.
Both feel just as soft, providing the ultimate in lofty, fluffy comfort.
3. Choose the Size
Always match your topper to your bed size, but also check how it secures to your mattress to avoid a mattress topper that slips and slides.
-
Queen mattress topper – the Aussie favourite.
-
King single mattress topper – unique to Australia, great for teens or guest rooms.
-
Double bed mattress topper – a smart way to revive an older bed.
-
King mattress topper – ideal for couples who like space.
-
Super king mattress topper – for the ultimate in luxury and room to stretch.
4. Natural Breathability
One of the biggest differences between toppers is how they handle temperature. Synthetic foams and gels rely on chemicals to stay “cool,” but feather and down naturally regulate warmth. A Puradown mattress topper keeps you cosy in winter, airy in summer, and comfortable all year round (the way bedding should be).
5. Look for Longevity
A quality mattress topper should last years, not months. Choose one made from natural feather and down, not foam filled with chemicals. And when it needs a refresh, our professional rejuvenation service restores loft, removes allergens, and gives it a longer life. Better for you, and better for the planet.
