Best mattress topper

[MidnightConstellation]

I bought a new bed and mattress a year ogoand have been suffering chronic back problems since. It has just occurred to me that the mattress which I find too hard may be helping to cause this. I don't know whether to buy a new mattress or a topper. The sheet barely goes on the mattress as it it and a topper wouldn't help. I am looking for something very supportive for hips and back which will work on a hard divan base. Preferably not full of chemicals and heavy metals. I have looked at a range online but its very confusing.

Recommendations and advice welcome.

If you’ve landed here while on the hunt for similar mattress recommendations, our guide to the best mattress toppers has been recently updated. We hope it’s helpful!

To be honest, a mattress topper is a mattress topper as far as I am concerned, and I just went onto Amazon and bought a couple that seemed reasonably priced.

But if you are looking for something more "natural" and chemical-free, you could look at this website, which came up when I googled "organic cotton mattress topper" (it's wool but anyway): www.thewoolroom.com/bedding/wool-mattress-toppers/?pk_campaign=paperplanes&dm_i=4YSC,L9EB,4WBN03,2JVJ8,1&gclid=6ab95d76571d1810ed693e21fd2603b3&gclsrc=3p.ds&msclkid=6ab95d76571d1810ed693e21fd2603b3&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Woolroom-UK-DSA-Toppers-G14642716527&utm_term=%2Fbedding%2Fwool-mattress-toppers&utm_content=DSA-Toppers

Have a look at Panda mattress topper

I’ve read they are quite hot?

Thanks these look like good options.

I ordered the Panda topper and sent it back after a couple of nights - I thought it was The One in the first five minutes but it somehow made things worse. and yes, hot, but not as hot as other memory foam.
i will say that the Panda customer service was excellent and they took it back, aside from stuffing it into some binbags with a label stuck on, they came and collected on a date convenient to me blah blah.

next stop is a wool topper. I need a new mattress really but the one I have is so pricy that I can’t bear to get rid ! Also too firm. More pillows has helped me a bit though. And learning to sleep on my back.
