What is a mattress topper?

A mattress topper is one of those things that does exactly what it says on the label, really – 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 sorts of thicknesses, are made of a range of different materials, and you'll be able to find one for a bed of more or less any size, from a child's twin bed to a king size double.

What is Gel-Infused Memory Foam? 

Gel-infused memory foam is memory foam that's been infused with gel microbeads. The addition of gel microbeads to memory foam creates a more breathable foam, helping to regulate your body temperature while you sleep.

What is the difference between memory foam and gel infused memory foam?  

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 offer 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.

How does Flip Flex work?

The mattresses have split comfort, meaning each side of the bed can be adjusted to a different firmness level to suit partners' preferences. The inner foam layers are split in half, allowing you to customise the left side to one firmness and the right side to another. This split design also minimises motion transfer, ensuring undisturbed sleep. The thick, luxurious cover provides a seamless transition between the two inner foam layers, so neither partner will feel the groove.

Is Flip Flex available in all sizes?

Flip Flex comes standard in the Single, Three Quarter, Double, Queen, King, and their extra length options.

How can one mattress have multiple comfort levels?

The mattress topper has two different comfort levels: soft and medium, which can be changed easily by flipping the foam layer. We don’t want you or your partner waking up on the wrong side of the bed, so the  Double, Queen and King mattress topper allows you to adjust the firmness levels independently. To select one of the two comfort levels, zip open the cover and flip the foam to your preferred comfort level facing upwards. These layers are colour-coded:  Darker blue foam is medium, and the lighter blue foam is softer. The Single and Three Quarter you flip over the whole topper for a different comfort level.
