We researched dozens of memory foam mattresses and evaluated their back support, cooling features, thickness, density, cover material, and price.

Cooling Features
Hot sleepers often look for breathable sheets sets, bedding, and mattress toppers that won’t make them sweat at night. There are plenty of options on the market that offer breathable, ventilated designs to help distribute body heat. Look for options that are gel-infused or use graphite in their materials.
Price
There is a slew of mattress toppers on the market at various price points. With many, the higher the price, the better the quality. But there are just as many affordable options on the market that still feature high-quality materials. Figure out what you’re looking for in your mattress topper to help you determine your price point.
