Everything You Need to Know 

Recently purchased a hybrid mattress?

You might be wondering if you can (or should) put a mattress topper on a hybrid mattress?

The short answer is yes, you can—and in many cases, you should! In order for your 10 year guarantee to be valid, we require you to use a mattress protector.

A good mattress topper can transform your sleep and mattress lifespan.

In this guide, we’ll discuss the benefits of mattress toppers and the different types.

Why Use a Mattress Topper on a Hybrid Mattress? 

A hybrid mattress is a type of mattress that combines pocket springs and memory foam.

The result is a mattress with the perfect balance between support and comfort.

But despite how great hybrid mattresses can be, they can get even better with a good mattress topper.

Here are a few ways how:

  1. Better Comfort. While hybrid mattresses offer great support, a topper can give extra layers of plushness. Whether you prefer a softer feel or want added pressure relief, a topper can help fine-tune the comfort level.

  2. Temperature Regulation. Adding a cooling gel-infused topper can improve airflow and keep you cool in the night. Even if your hybrid mattress already has cooling features, a topper can make a big difference.

  3. Increased Durability. A mattress topper acts as a protective layer, reducing wear and tear on the mattress surface. This can extend its lifespan, keeping it in better condition for longer.

  4. Better Motion Isolation. A topper can help absorb motion and reduce disturbances if your partner moves in the night. This is great if your hybrid mattress has a spring system that creates more bounce.

Types of Mattress Toppers for Hybrid Mattresses 

Not all mattress toppers are equal. Depending on your preferences, here are some common types of toppers and what they offer:

1. Memory Foam Toppers 

Memory foam toppers have the ability to contour to your body for excellent pressure relief. They’re a great choice if you want to reduce joint pain or add a softer feel to a firm hybrid mattress.

  • Best for: Pressure relief, joint pain, softer feel

2. Cooling Gel-Infused Toppers 

If you tend to overheat at night, cooling gel-infused toppers are a smart choice.

They combine pressure-relieving memory foam with cooling properties that help regulate temperature.

  • Best for: Hot sleepers, temperature regulation

3. Latex Toppers 

Natural latex toppers are best for durability, responsiveness, and hypoallergenic properties.

They provide a firmer, bouncier feel compared to memory foam and are ideal if you want added support.

  • Best for: Firmer feel, allergy sufferers, eco-conscious buyers

4. Feather and Down Toppers 

Feather and down toppers add a luxurious, hotel-like feel to your bed.

They’re soft and breathable, but don’t offer the same level of support as foam or latex toppers.

  • Best for: Ultra-plush feel, lightweight comfort

How to Choose the Right Mattress Topper 

When selecting a topper for your hybrid mattress, keep these factors in mind:

  1. Desired Comfort Level: If you want a softer feel, opt for memory foam or feather toppers. For a firmer surface, latex is your best bet.

  2. Cooling Needs: Hot sleepers should look for cooling gel or breathable materials like latex.

  3. Allergies: Choose hypoallergenic toppers made from natural latex or treated memory foam.

  4. Thickness: Toppers range from 2 to 4 inches thick. Thicker toppers give better cushioning but may alter the feel of your mattress.

Adding a mattress topper can:

  • Improve comfort
