gel mattress topper

What advantages does a gel foam mattress topper have?

Quality and characteristics of a gel foam mattress topper

Mattress toppers and toppers with gel foam or visco foam (memory foam) are particularly suitable for people who move a lot during sleep or have difficulties finding a comfortable sleeping position. Sleep problems are often caused by the wrong mattress or the wrong pillow (head pillow). The mattress can be, for example, too soft or too hard. Sometimes, however, one’s own sleeping habits change, and the old mattress no longer fits well. For everyone looking for a new, high-quality mattress, Mister Sandman offers three mattress models: Liara, Serena, and Anea. The Mister Sandman mattress finder helps in finding the suitable mattress model.

A gel foam mattress topper for better sleep

A solution for this situation can be the purchase of a new gel foam mattress topper (gel foam topper). Of course, there are many different types of mattress toppers. A gel foam mattress topper or a gel foam topper is just one of many toppers for mattresses. What are the characteristics of a gel foam mattress topper? How does a gel foam mattress topper or a gel foam topper differ from other mattress toppers, e.g., from a visco mattress topper with visco foam (memory foam)? Is there a difference between a gel foam topper and a gel foam mattress topper?

Are a gel foam mattress pad and a gel foam topper the same?

Yes. A gel foam topper and a gel foam mattress pad are the same products and differ only in name. Mattress pad is actually a generic term that can refer to many different types of mattress pads:

Mattress pad as a base for the mattress / pad for slatted frames
Mattress pad as a protective cover (mattress protector) for the mattress
Mattress topper as a underlay
Mattress topper as a topper

Similarities between toppers and underbeds

Mattress toppers like toppers and underbeds are most similar in their function as mattress pads. The difference between a mattress pad as a topper and a mattress pad as an underbed essentially lies in the fact that underbeds mainly affect the sleep climate, while toppers can additionally influence the lying properties of mattresses. Both mattress pads and toppers allow one to sleep better in their own bed without having to immediately look for new mattresses.

Difference between gel mattress topper and gel foam mattress topper

Before purchasing a gel foam mattress topper, one should know that there are the following variants:

Gel mattress toppers with a full gel core and
gel foam toppers with a gel component

A gel mattress topper and gel mattresses are completely filled with gel filled. Gel is a viscous material that, when used in gel mattress toppers, provides a similar lying feeling to a waterbed.

Waterbed vs. gel mattress

The Sleeping on a waterbed or on a gel mattress are still two completely different things:

a waterbed comes in different waterbed models
a good waterbed has a split waterbed foam frame
waterbed mattresses can vary greatly from one another
a waterbed can be installed in conventional bed frames
a waterbed can, with good waterbed care, be very durable be
a waterbed does not get tired

Disadvantages of waterbeds

a waterbed can very heavy be
leaking water in the waterbed is caught by a safety film in the waterbed

the waterbed will be heated it can have a very negative impact on the electricity bill

gel as Techno-Gel is soft
gel as Techno-Gel is breathable
gel as Techno-Gel is odorless
gel as Techno-Gel has a high adaptability
gel as Techno-Gel is non-toxic
gel as Techno-Gel is free of plasticizers
gel in the form of Techno-Gel is durable
gel in the form of Techno-Gel is bio-compatible

gel mattresses for the medical field

A mattress topper filled with gel (or a gel mattress) is often used in the medical field, e.g., for elderly people who need a mattress topper with very high Pressure relief need. For home use, a Gelschaum mattress topper with a gel component is more suitable. Unlike the designation Gelschaum it suggests that Gelschaum is not foamed gel. Gelschaum is a cold foam product to which gel has been added during production. The Gelschaum brand name that one often encounters is Gelax. Gel foam is often used in combination with other materials for the production of a gel foam mattress topper.

Comparison of gel foam mattress topper with visco foam (memory foam) mattress topper

Toppers are available in various sizes and qualities. A feature that is considered Distinguishing criterion for a topper or a mattress topper, the question of the material used for the mattress topper or the topper is essential. Gel foam and visco foam are two material variants that are particularly popular for toppers and mattress toppers. Visco and gel foam have many points of contact:

Visco foam and gel foam are soft and provide high pressure relief
Visco foam and gel foam are soft and point-elastic
Visco foam and gel foam provide a soft lying feeling

Visco and gel foam

A difference between visco and gel foam that is essential is the recovery force: Visco has a "memory" (Memory Foam). Due to pressure and heat, visco adapts precisely to the body. The recovery occurs slowly. Therefore, visco is also referred to as memory foam or memory foam. The ability for maximum body adaptation is one of the most characteristic features of visco (memory effect through memory foam). Gel foam, on the other hand, has a high recovery. Visco reacts to heat. Gel, however, reacts to pressure. Both visco and gel are very soft. Another difference between visco and gel foam that is essential: Visco provides a warm sleeping climate in bed, while gel foam provides a cooler sleeping climate in bed. Visco, viscoelastic foams, or memory foam are different terms used for visco in mattresses, mattress toppers, pillows, and head pillows.

What is memory foam

Memory foam comes from English. Memory foam means as much as memory foam. The term memory foam is used for visco because of its memory property. Memory foam retains the imprint of a body "in memory". Memory foam thus leads to less movement during sleep. Memory foam has the following properties:

Memory foam is highly pressure-relieving
Memory foam reduces movement during sleep
Memory foam is suitable for allergy sufferers
Memory foam adapts precisely to the body and is very soft
Memory foam is durable

How do I recognize the quality of a gel foam mattress topper?

When looking for a gel foam mattress topper, it is important to pay attention to certain quality features, e.g. the room weight of the topper. The higher the room weight, the better the quality of the topper. The topper's room weight (also applies to other toppers and mattresses made of cold foam, visco, or latex) indicates how much raw material per cubic meter is present in the product (kgm³). If a topper has a room weight of 50, there are 50kg of raw material per m³ in the product: kgm³. The same applies to other specifications of room weight, e.g. room weight 35. There are 35kg of raw material per cubic meter (kgm³). Room weight is not the same as room weight. For one product or depending on the material, a room weight of 35 can thus indicate high or low quality

However, if one is dissatisfied with the sleeping comfort in bed or on their mattress, the sleeping comfort can be significantly improved by using a mattress topper. A mattress that is too hard becomes softer with a topper or a comparable mattress pad.

Soft lying with visco toppers

In principle, one should always lie on the mattress before buying a mattress trial sleeping, to be sure, make the right choice.
