The Molecule AirTEC Topper is the best investment of all models we tested, with an excellent balance of support and squishy comfort. Unlike most memory foam toppers, you stay on top without sinking in. It's also one of the coolest memory foam toppers we tested. It comes with a washable slip that's easy to throw straight into the washing machine for simple cleaning. Featuring three levels of foam density, we think this is one of the most balanced toppers tested, earning it top marks and our highest accolades. 
We scoured our brains for caveats, but it's hard to find in this high-quality option, aside from the upfront cost. Our testers overwhelmingly agreed that if you're searching for a long-term solution to make a mattress more comfortable and restful, this model is the right choice.

MOLECULE 2 Mattress Review (2022) - Side Sleeper Relief?

Wirecutter

This dense topper cradles pressure points better than any other memory-foam model we tried and it never overheated our testers. But it’s pricey.

If you're seeking a very supportive memory foam topper, the Tempur-Pedic Tempur Supreme is at the top of our list. When you first lay down on it, it feels extremely firm and almost stiff. After just a couple of seconds, the high-density foam gives in to support your body's curvature while feeling softer and more comfortable. We appreciate that for its thickness, it feels cooler than other memory foam toppers and that it just feels nice. We tested it for two weeks with two people in the bed, and our testers claimed that they couldn't feel it when the other turned over at night. When performing specific tests like placing a glass of water on the bed, this model proved to reduce movement transference more than other products. It also comes with a washable cover.
While this topper might be a good choice for those that like a firmer feel, we found it difficult to turn or move after sinking into its high-density foam. One of our testers reports that she actually woke up trying to turn at night on numerous occasions. We recommend this product only to very still sleepers seeking a firmer feel and unwavering support that you sink into. For such sleepers, this model truly reigns supreme.

Springier than memory foam, this latex topper comes in a wide range of thicknesses and densities to suit all sleep positions. It’s one of the most affordable latex toppers we’ve found and gets consistently high owner ratings.

Sleep On Latex Mattress Topper Review (2022) | Sleepopolis

The LUCID 5 Zone Lavender is not just low-priced; it's also one of our favorites to sleep on. It features an ergonomic grid and a balanced foam density that doesn't feel too hard or soft. We found ourselves deep in comfort, looking forward to a night's sleep after slipping it over a hard 10-year old test mattress. It provides an excellent level of support that contours the body but doesn't swallow you up, so you can still toss and turn with ease if you tend to be restless. Many of our testers love the subtle lavender scent, which isn't overbearing and adds a nice scent to the room. 
The few downsides of this mattress are its warmth and the fact that it can't be washed — it lacks a cover. It felt noticeably warmer than the coolest toppers we tested, though we never overheated. We also note that not everyone will appreciate the lavender scent, though it didn't put off any of our testing team, male or female. This model is our clear favorite among the more affordable toppers in the test bunch.

The Overfilled Extra Thick topper from The Duck and Goose Co. is filled with 14,000g/m2 of gel fiber, a synthetic alternative to down fibers. It's advertised as hypoallergenic and offers a low to medium level of cushioning &#40;2.5-inches&#41;. This ultra-plush option simulates a cloud-like sleep without too much support, making rolling or moving around easy. Additionally, the materials offer good regulation of temperature, adding warmth in cold weather without being too hot in the summer.
Like most other options built with the same materials, this product isn't as plush or supportive as high-quality memory foam. You can still feel a little of your mattress underneath, even with its higher level of cushioning. If you seek a down-alternative topper, this is the best one we've tested for its loft, easy anchor system, and value.

This soft memory-foam topper isn’t as luxurious as others we tried but it didn’t bottom out during our tests. Although it’s somewhat pricey, we couldn’t find a topper we liked for less.

This fluffy microfiber-filled topper is soft and keeps its loft (if you fluff it regularly) but it provides less cushioning than memory foam or latex.
