The main difference between memory foam and gel memory foam is temperature control. Gel memory foam mattresses contain a cooling gel that draws heat away from the body. People with conditions that cause increases in body temperature or night sweats may prefer gel memory foam mattresses.

What is Gel Infused Memory Foam? Gel-infused memory foam is memory foam infused with gel microbeads. Adding gel microbeads to memory foam creates a more breathable foam, which helps regulate your body temperature while you sleep.

Both memory foam and gel foam make great mattresses, so the question is which foam is better for you. Memory foam and gel foam each provide moldable support, stability and pain relief in a range of firmness levels. Gel foam mattresses tend to be cooler in temperature and bounce back faster than memory foam mattresses.

Most gel memory foams use either thermal gel, which is cool to the touch, or phase-change gel, which changes from a solid to a liquid when the temperature of the mattress rises. Both of these gels are designed to draw heat away from the sleeper, resulting in a more comfortable surface temperature.

Memory foam is one of the most popular materials used to make the best mattresses for side sleepers because it contours to the shape of your body and provides high levels of pressure relief. It reduces shoulder and knee pain if you press into the mattress when you sleep on your side.

SLAAPTYD's mattress top layer (topper) is 100% electric blanket safe.

The SLAAPTYD top layer (topper) and other types of phase-changing gel mattress toppers are intended to regulate temperature, such as underarms, Nike Dry-Fit, or other active gear. So, in theory, these mattresses will be good in winter and summer.

A mattress topper is one of those things that really does what it says on the label – it's an extra layer that goes on top of your mattress to provide extra comfort (for you) and protection (for your mattress). They come in all kinds of thicknesses, are made from a range of different materials, and you'll be able to find one for a bed of pretty much any size, from a child's single bed to a king-size double bed.

A mattress topper sits on top of your mattress and provides support that can extend a mattress's life by reducing pressure on the springs, delaying any sagging or general wear and tear. Combine a mattress topper with regular turning of your mattress and you can see that your mattress provides full support for longer.

Toppers are also much easier to wash than a full-size mattress, and can have replaceable covers, so they act as a useful barrier against stains as well as more general wear and tear. Mattresses can be transferred from bed to bed or rolled up and taken with you when you travel.

An extra layer of foam also means an extra layer of comfort - soft, flexible fillings can make a big difference. If your mattress provides firm support but falls short in softness, combining the two can help you find the perfect balance for you.

The combination of a memory foam mattress topper and an inexpensive mattress can also be cheaper than buying a full memory foam mattress, and will give you a longer break before you have to buy a new one again.

In short, mattress toppers will change the feel of an existing mattress, improve your level of comfort while sleeping, and can extend the life of your mattress. It's an extra expense that could mean you spend a lot less on a new mattress down the line, with the added benefit of improved comfort and support.

More often than not, mattress toppers are worth it – improved comfort and a better protected mattress will provide years of restful sleep. If you're completely happy with your mattress, it's more of an added luxury than a necessary purchase, but there are some cases where a topper can be a definite benefit.

If you suffer from back or joint pain, especially arthritis or fibromyalgia, the additional support provided by a memory foam mattress topper can greatly improve your comfort while you sleep. Memory foam's firm, body-conforming structure also means that your partner's movements in a shared bed won't affect you as much.
