There's nothing better than a good night's rest. It's essential for our overall well-being, and having a comfortable mattress is key. One way you can upgrade your bed without splurging on a whole new set is to invest in a mattress topper. Whether you're looking for pressure relief, added softness, support, or a cooling effect, there's a mattress topper out there to meet your specific needs. Ahead, we rounded up the best mattress toppers for every sleep need and price point, so you can rest soundly without breaking the bank.

There is a wide variety of mattress toppers that provide you with the comfort and support you deserve; you just have to choose the right one. Memory-foam toppers are a popular choice, as they conform to the body's shape and relieve pressure points. These are great for those who have back pain or joint issues and need spinal alignment and cushioning. On the other hand, down mattress toppers provide a cloudlike plushness ideal for shoppers who prefer a softer mattress. These are also more breathable and tend to be more cooling at night. Latex mattress toppers are great for those who toss and turn throughout the night or sleep in different positions, since they offer top-tier responsiveness and bounce. They're also hypoallergenic and resistant to dust mites and mold. Lastly, for a sustainable option, you can consider a wool mattress topper, which is breathable, moisture-wicking, and temperature-regulating.

Whether you're looking to spruce up your old bed or you want to elevate your college-dorm sleep situation, a mattress topper is a cost-effective way to upgrade your sleep. Keep reading to shop our top picks. (All pricing reflects queen sizing unless stated otherwise.)
