An Insider’s Guide to Bedding: Pads Versus Toppers

What’s the main difference between a mattress pad and a mattress topper? Well, darling, you’ve come to the right girl! I’ve learned a thing or two about making a bed look and feel divine, and a girl simply can’t achieve true luxury without understanding the finer points of bedding.

Think of mattress pads and toppers like diamonds and pearls – both add a touch of elegance, but they serve different purposes, see?

A mattress pad, honey, is like a whisper of luxury. It’s a thin layer of padding, adding just a smidgen of softness to your sleep haven. They’re perfect for protecting your mattress from those inevitable little accidents – spills, stains, and the like.

Now, a topper, that’s a whole other story. It’s like a complete transformation, a whole new personality for your bed! It’s thicker and can actually change the way your mattress feels. If your mattress is feeling a bit past its prime, a topper can make it feel brand new – for a fraction of the cost of a new mattress.
