Toppers
Knowing the difference between foam types and how to effectively guide a customer’s purchase. Some more stuff to come.
Foam is typically packaged, compressed and sealed in a virtually air-tight package for easy travel. Sometimes the odor that is inherent in all foams gets trapped inside this packaging but can easily air out upon opening. Sleep Studio’s foam is open-celled and breathable which allows air to circulate through the foam more readily, removing any odor more quickly. Some people may be more sensitive to the odor than others, but it is in no way dangerous.
Foam will burn if exposed to an open flame, but will self-extinguish when the flame is removed. This is a different effect than what might happen with fabrics like cotton – cotton will continue to burn once ignited.
There are foam products in the marketplace that do not have an open-cell structure, thus causing them to trap heat, making for a hot, uncomfortable sleep. All of Sleep Studio’s products are constructed with a breakthrough open-cell, breathable foam formulation, allowing much more air to circulate around you, for a cool and comfortable night’s sleep.
The initial feel of a gel memory foam can feel cool, though it does not actively work to perform that way over the course of a night. The true purpose of gel memory foam is to provide the support that traditional memory foam cannot.
Memory Foam is meant to be used for comfort and pressure relief, not as much for support. Therefore, more is not always better. Typically, a topper of 2” or 3” is more than sufficient to provide the desired results.
Density and softness are two completely different qualities. You can have a dense foam that is soft or firm, as well as a less dense foam that is soft or firm. Firmness in foam is measured by the amount of cushioning the foam provides. Density is the measurement of the weight of foam contained in a square foot of material.
The gusset is the fabric connecting the top and bottom of the cover, equal in height to that of the topper.
The zipper should be on the bottom, touching the mattress directly.
The topper adds height to your mattress and not everyone has deep-pocketed fitted sheets. Cutting the foam a bit smaller than the bed allows the foam to slope gradually towards the edge of the bed to ensure the proper fit of your bottom sheet.
Sleep Studio’s open-cell construction of all memory foam allows it to return to its original size in just a few minutes after it’s unpackaged.
Toppers should be spot washed with a damp cloth. They should not be hand or machine washed or dried. A waterproof mattress pad can provide added protection should leaks or spills be concern with your topper.
All of our mattress topper and pillow covers are machine washable and dryable. Additionally, each has a sewn-in label with these care instructions.
As long as the electrical product is UL registered and in good working order with no frayed wires or damage, the product is safe to use with any type of foam. Heat will make memory foam softer, just like it will when your body temperature affects it.
This topper is plush and conforming making it a perfect addition to any uncomfortable mattress, especially to cover up that uncomfortable middle support bar. When it comes time to fold up this hide-a-bed, this topper is plush and will fold, but we cannot ensure that it will work perfectly in every hide-a-bed. But, it is easy enough to fold up and store elsewhere, making it ready to go when you have guests!
Memory foam provides overall cushion and comfort, without adding heft. Once positioned on the bed, it is easy to move around as needed when making the bed.
This is going to vary based on product. Please refer to the product page detail section

We cannot speak to the nature of the back pain that you are experiencing, but we're happy to report that many people have found our mattress toppers to be very comfortable to sleep on.
While our toppers are designed to be used “pointed” side up for more enhanced pressure relief, it is an effective pressure reliever when used on the flat side as well. It’s really a matter of personal preference. You might find that the “pointed” side up sleeping surface feels a bit softer than the flat side.
