Mattress Toppers can come in various fillings from a standard polyester foam filled mattress topper to horse tail hair and lambs wool mattress toppers. They can be used to give added comfort or used as a therapedic mattress topper.
While polyester foam filled toppers may be adequate in adding comfort to your bed they can have there problems, for instance polyester isn’t as effective when it comes to regulating temperature as natural fibres. Dust mites can also become more prelevant in polyester mattress toppers however this can be remedied by a good anti allergenic mattress protector or by regular cleaning of the mattress topper.
Lambs wool mattress toppers are much more effective at regulating temperature and dispersing moisture over the course of a night and also have a longer life when compared to polyester. Current thinking suggests use of best quality horse tail hair within the topper to give it a superior quality and longevity. While the use of horse tail hair mattress topper isnt something most people would think, the properties of horse tail hair when combined with lambs wool give the mattress topper extra spring and recoil making it truely top of the range for comfort and long life.
While mattress toppers can be easily found for standard single, double and king bed toppers for unusual and outsize beds are rarer to come accross. A good site that supplies mattress toppers in a wide range of sizes can be found here
