10 Best Mattress Toppers for Back Pain 2024 | Slumberdown, Inofia, and More

This deluxe topper is handcrafted by Devon Duvets, a family run business established in 2008. The certified 100% British wool filling is not bleached or chemically treated, and is made using a unique needling technique which finely combs each fibre for a lofty feel, whilst remaining breathable and hypoallergenic.

This topper works like magic to keep you cool on warm nights, as well as cosy in the depths of winter. Its amazing quality and the craftsmanship that's gone into it is clear to see. While it's definitely an investment, you won't find a better mattress topper out there! 

This topper from Slumberdown is made from a springy foam that relieves pressure as you sleep to prevent aches and pains, so you are free to move around in bed as much as you like. It also reduces heat build up as, unlike standard memory foam, it contains breathable fibres that allow air to flow freely.

We love this topper as an affordable option to help you prolong the life of your old mattress. Not to mention, it's incredibly comfortable to sleep on!

This topper from Inofia has a non-slip base along with four straps to keep it firmly in place as you sleep, while the gel memory foam will help you regulate your body temperature without compromising on comfort. 

The small box this topper arrives in belies its size, with an extra-deep, pillowy softness that's sure to give your old mattress a new lease of life. The manufacturer also offers a 100 night risk free trial, so you can return it if you're not totally satisfied. 

This hotel quality mattress topper from BedStory helps to regulate your body temperature as you sleep to promote better rest. The plush polyester filling is supportive and comfortable, and the durable microfibre cover feels soft and velvety to the touch.

While it isn't as thick as you would expect, it's very comfortable and offers great value for money when compared with other similar toppers available. Just be aware that it won't be suitable if you're looking for firmer support as it is very soft and pillowy. 

The Silentnight airmax mattress topper is designed to increase airflow and air circulation, featuring a dual construction and mesh side walls that allows air to move freely between the layers. 

Filled with deep hollowfibre, it's also hypoallergenic and machine washable, so you can keep your topper feeling fresh and clean for longer. The only downside is that this topper can compress quite quickly, with some seeing a pronounced dip in the space where they sleep. 

This mattress topper from Silentnight is designed to relieve pressure, back pain, and aches by moulding to your body to provide excellent support. The polyester cover is machine washable to help keep it fresh, and the topper is hypoallergenic.

Lovers of soft squishy mattresses may want to give it a miss as this one is made to give a firmer feel. As with a lot of memory foam, it does tend to make you feel quite warm as you sleep. So we similarly wouldn't recommend it if you're a hot sleeper.

This mattress topper is generously filled with premium duck feathers, turning your bed into a luxurious pillow-top mattress. The 100% cotton casing is soft and breathable, and all the materials used are environmentally friendly and non-toxic.

Unfortunately, some have found that this topper went flat quicker than they would have expected it to given the higher price point. This is because the feathers tend to clump together, so you'll need to shake it out regularly. 

This topper has a 100% goose feather filling, with a cotton cover that repels dust mites and is double stitched to prevent feathers from escaping. It is made using a box baffle structure that keeps the feathers within compartments that stop them from clumping to prolong the life of the topper. 

That said, despite the best efforts of the manufacturer, the feathers do seem to escape to a certain degree. However, some found that adding a mattress protector on top made it much less noticeable.

This topper from Slumberdown features two soft-touch toppers that are connected via a breathable middle layer that gently supports the contours of your spine, whilst allowing air to circulate. It's designed to offer a low level of support and is ideal for people who prefer a soft or medium mattress. 

Whilst the topper is advertised as being 4 cm thick, it takes a lot of plumping to achieve this. So if you're expecting a thick topper then this may be a slight disappointment. 

This topper from Aidapt has an egg crate texture that contours to your body, whilst its gel-infused beads help regulate body temperature for a good night's sleep. It is designed to fit snugly under tightly fitted sheets, which is why it has a reversible design with one side being flat.

Despite being advertised as a gel foam topper that's meant to keep you cool, some found it very hot even on cooler nights. So while it is comfy, it doesn't totally fulfill its promises.
