The mattress pad is designed to regulate temperature so you don’t wake up with hot flashes or in a cold sweat. It’s made with a fiber fill that mimics the plushness of traditional down, giving it a fluffy feeling as opposed to a more dense texture you’d get with a memory foam option. Its quilted design aims to properly disperse that filling, so you’re also supported all over. To buy: from $30; amazon.com. Some customers were surprised to find that the affordable topper—which comes in six sizes, ranging from twin to California king—could make such a vast difference on their much-pricier mattresses. “My mattress is ultra plush, so I assumed that I would not feel much comfort. Boy was I wrong,” said one. “It gave extra comfort. It’s 82 degrees outside and prior to putting on the topper I was a bit hot. The topper definitely cooled off the mattress.” Others add that the Sleep Zone pad is “softer and thicker” than other mattress toppers, and that its deep pockets allow it to easily fit thicker mattresses.
