Visco Mattress Topper

 What are the advantages of a visco mattress topper?

What is the purpose of a visco mattress topper?

Has the lying feeling on your mattress ever been better? Do you constantly toss and turn on your mattress because you feel like you can't find the right sleeping position? But your mattress isn't that old and is still in good condition? Then a visco mattress topper could be a good solution for your mattress and your sleeping problem. A visco mattress topper is an accessory for mattresses. Typically, visco mattress toppers have a height of 4 to 10 cm and are suitable for various mattress sizes, e.g. 140x200 or even 180x200. The mattress topper from Mister Sandman, the Mister Sandman Visco Topper, has a height of 4cm. In addition to the visco topper, three mattress models - Liara, Serena, and Anea - are part of the Mister Sandman range.

Mattress pads can be made of various materials.

A mattress pad, also called a topper, does not necessarily have to consist of visco material. A mattress pad or a topper can, just like mattresses can have a core made of different materials, be equipped with various types of fillings. A mattress pad or a topper can be filled with down and feathers. However, a topper core made of foam is more common and usual. This can involve different types of foam of varying quality.

  • Mattress pad or topper with down for mattresses
  • Mattress pad or topper with feathers and down for mattresses
  • Mattress pad or topper made of cold foam for mattresses
  • Mattress pad or topper made of simple foam for mattresses
  • Mattress pad or topper with gel foam for mattresses
  • Visco mattress pad or viscoelastic toppers for mattresses

Premium topper made of cold foam?

The type of core (foam? Gel foam?) of the mattress pad or topper not only determines whether it is a premium mattress pad or a premium topper, but also has significant effects on the properties of the mattress pad and the topper. Whether it is a premium product can be measured by the weight per unit volume of the foam or cold foam. The visco topper from Mister Sandman has an RG 50 and thus belongs to the premium segment. Other products from Mister Sandman are also high quality, Oeko-Tex certified, and made in Germany.

What is the purpose of a visco mattress topper?

You have a mattress that is still in good condition, but you are no longer satisfied with the feeling of lying on it? If you can no longer sleep well on your mattress, even though it is not sagging, mattress toppers or viscoelastic toppers can be a great solution to the problem. A visco mattress topper, also called a visco topper, is a viscoelastic layer for mattresses. With a visco mattress topper (viscoelastic topper), you can for example modify the hardness of your mattress, make the mattress softer, and thus increase your lying comfort on the mattress and sleep better.

Do you always wake up quite tense?

Your mattress might be too hard. A visco mattress topper has a pressure-relieving effect and thus allows for restful sleep. It prevents tension. A mattress topper promotes sleep and thus also affects health.

Do you have to spend a lot of time in bed for health reasons?

A visco mattress topper (viscoelastic topper) provides pressure relief and lying comfort. If you have health issues such as circulation disorders, joint problems, or spine issues, the pressure-relieving properties of a visco mattress topper (viscoelastic topper) can help here.

Do you find your mattress too cool?

A visco mattress topper provides a warm sleeping climate. If you find your mattress too warm, a mattress topper with gel foam or a topper with gel foam can help here. Toppers with gel foam are products with a cooling effect.

Do you have a double bed 180x200 with two individual mattresses 90x200 and always end up in the "guest gap" between the mattresses?

With a visco mattress topper or a topper in the right size, e.g. 180x200, you can cover the "guest gap" between the mattresses and sleep better.

Do you want to protect your mattress?

A visco mattress topper or viscoelastic topper can be used as a mattress protector. The mattress topper thus slows down the wear of the mattress. Do you value hygiene but want to keep the effort of caring for your mattress low? A visco mattress topper or viscoelastic topper usually has a slightly removable and washable topper cover.

Are you very satisfied with your mattress?

By using a visco mattress topper (viscoelastic topper), you can enhance the positive properties of your mattress a little more.

Do you also want to lie super soft while traveling or in hotels?

A visco mattress topper (viscoelastic topper) is suitable for taking along depending on the size, so you can sleep comfortably and conveniently even on vacation.

Does a visco (visco) mattress pad have a firmness level?

Before purchasing a mattress, many questions often arise regarding specific properties of the mattress. Questions about the right mattress firmness or the zoned design of the mattress. How is it with a visco mattress pad? And with a topper made of viscoelastic foam? Does the firmness level play a role here like with mattresses? Are visco toppers for mattresses also offered with zoned design?

Firmness level of the toppers

Viscoelastic toppers are available in only one firmness level. For a visco mattress pad, this is the firmness level soft. Viscoelastic toppers are mainly used for mattresses that are too firm to increase lying comfort.

Lying zone design of the topper

Many mattresses, including visco mattresses, have a zoned design. The individual mattress zones have different firmness and are intended to support or relieve certain body areas. The purpose of a visco mattress topper is not to change the zonation of a mattress. A viscoelastic mattress pad or a visco topper itself is usually not offered with zoning. A viscoelastic mattress pad also does not aim to change the zoning of a mattress. However, the mattress properties of mattresses can be positively enhanced by using a visco pad.

What is meant by visco and visco foam?

Mattresses, pillows, toppers, and a mattress pad have very different properties depending on the mattress core, topper core, and core of the mattress pad. A particularly common padding material for mattresses, toppers, and a mattress pad is foam. Foam can be categorized based on the type of foam and the quality of the foam. There is foam in the form of:

  • PUR foam
  • cold foam
  • gel foam
  • viscoelastic foam

These are different types of foam that are obtained through different manufacturing processes. A particularly popular foam for mattresses, pillows, and toppers is visco foam.

What is visco?

Visco foam or visco/visco is, like cold foam or gel foam, a material based on polyurethane:

  • Visco or viscoelastic foam belongs to the group of polymers.
  • Visco or viscoelastic foam consists of water, gases, polyols, and polyisocyanates.

How is visco foam produced?

Visco or viscoelastic foam is the result of a chemical reaction of these substances. The visco liquid that is produced is then cured and cut, and further processed into visco mattresses, visco pillows, or a visco mattress topper (viscoelastic topper). Visco/viscoelastic foam has unique pressure-relieving properties and thus differs from other types of foam. Visco or viscoelastic foam reacts to body heat. As soon as body heat affects visco/viscoelastic foam, visco products, such as visco mattresses, visco pillows, or a visco mattress topper, adapt precisely to the body. Visco or viscoelastic foam is a slow-reacting material. This means that an imprint formed in the visco material recovers much more slowly than with other materials without visco/viscoelastic foam. What does this mean for a visco mattress topper (viscoelastic topper)?

Properties of visco toppers

Toppers with visco foam have certain properties due to this material that affect the lying comfort and sleep climate:

  • A visco mattress topper (viscoelastic topper) for mattresses is super soft
  • A visco mattress topper (viscoelastic topper) for mattresses adapts precisely to the body's contours
  • A visco mattress topper (viscoelastic topper) for mattresses is highly pressure-relieving
  • A visco mattress topper (viscoelastic topper) for mattresses promotes blood circulation
  • A visco mattress topper for mattresses is very suitable for people with health issues

How can you recognize the quality of visco/visco foam?

An important quality feature of visco/visco foam is the density. The higher the density of the visco foam in the mattresses and the visco topper, the higher the material density in the mattresses. The higher the density of the visco material in the mattresses, the higher quality the visco foam in visco mattresses. The density (RG) describes the weight of visco/visco foam per volume unit in kg/m3. Another important aspect of visco/visco foam in visco mattresses and visco mattress toppers is the question of harmful substances. A visco mattress or visco mattress topper should not only have a certain height of RG but also have a pollutant label, such as OEKO-TEX® Standard. When purchasing a mattress or topper, the viscoelastic topper and the visco mattress should have such a label. Quality features are:

  • The density of visco/visco foam in visco mattresses, visco pillows, and a visco mattress topper
  • The pollutant-free nature of visco in visco mattresses and visco toppers

 A visco mattress topper with visco foam for your mattress

If you decide to purchase a visco mattress topper, it is important to know that viscoelastic toppers are not necessarily suitable for all mattresses. Placing a visco mattress topper or viscoelastic toppers on mattresses has effects on the air circulation in the mattresses and thus on the breathability of the mattresses. Especially with mattresses that have a classic mattress cover (quilted mattress cover), the air circulation in the mattresses is hindered. In the worst case, a lack of air circulation in the mattresses can lead to mold infestation of the mattress. If you want to use a visco mattress topper or viscoelastic toppers for your mattress, you should ensure that the mattress cover is made of breathable fabric. Additionally, the mattresses should also have a mattress core that is air-permeable and breathable.

For which mattresses is a visco mattress topper suitable?

Viscoelastic toppers can be used as a cover for almost all mattress types. It is important:

  • that the mattresses are air-permeable
  • that the mattress cover is breathable
  • that the mattress size matches the size of the visco mattress topper

Which mattress sizes are suitable for viscoelastic toppers?

Viscoelastic toppers (visco mattress toppers) are available for all common mattress sizes:

  • Visco mattress topper for mattress size 80x200
  • Visco mattress topper for mattress size 90x200
  • Visco mattress topper for mattress size 100x200
  • Visco mattress topper for mattress size 120x200
  • Visco mattress topper for mattress size 140x200
  • Visco mattress topper for mattress size 160x200
  • Visco mattress topper for mattress size 180x200
  • Visco mattress topper for mattress size 200x200

Which mattress types are suitable for a visco topper?

But which mattresses, that is, with which mattress core, are particularly air-permeable and can thus be equipped with a visco mattress topper or another mattress pad:

  • Mattresses made of open-cell foam including breathable mattress cover
  • Mattresses with spring core including breathable mattress cover
  • Mattresses made of latex including breathable mattress cover
  • Mattresses made of natural materials including breathable mattress cover

Air circulation in the mattress is particularly important

To avoid disturbing the air exchange as much as possible by using a visco mattress topper (viscoelastic topper), attention should be paid to a coherent overall concept:

  • Mattresses should be breathable
  • Mattress cover should be breathable
  • Visco mattress topper and cover of the mattress topper should be air-permeable
  • Slats of the slatted frames should not be placed too closely together
  • Beds should not rest directly on the floor

Viscoelastic toppers are well suited for cold foam mattresses

If one wants to use viscoelastic toppers for foam mattresses or cold foam mattresses, the air circulation in the cold foam mattresses must not be hindered by the visco mattress topper. Depending on the quality of the cold foam, cold foam mattresses are relatively open-pored and can therefore be combined with a visco mattress topper. Cold foam mattresses also often have a air channel in the mattress, depending on the quality of the cold foam mattresses. This creates an airflow with every movement on the mattresses.

Breathable mattress cover

This improves the air circulation in cold foam mattresses. To ensure optimal air circulation in the mattresses, a mattress cover made of breathable material is often used for cold foam mattresses. A cold foam mattress cover made of 100% cotton is particularly suitable as a cold foam mattress cover to ensure optimal air circulation in the cold foam mattresses. Additionally, slatted frames and beds should also allow for good air exchange.

Visco toppers are not always offered with a cover

Visco toppers (viscoelastic mattress pads) are not always sold with a cover. If you want to buy a visco topper as a viscoelastic mattress pad, you should decide beforehand whether you prefer to get a separate cover for the visco topper or the visco mattress pad. Or whether you value having a cover for the visco topper or the viscoelastic mattress pad already included and perhaps only need to take care of a replacement cover for the visco topper or the viscoelastic mattress pad.

Topper with or without cover?

Whether to buy a visco topper or a viscoelastic mattress pad with or without a cover should be decided based on how one wants to use the visco topper or the viscoelastic mattress pad:

  •  a visco topper or a viscoelastic mattress pad for mattresses can be placed on the mattress under the bed sheet without a cover
  • a visco topper or a viscoelastic mattress pad for mattresses without a cover can be placed inside the mattress cover under certain conditions
  • a visco topper or a viscoelastic mattress pad for mattresses with a cover can be placed on the mattress covered with a bed sheet
  • a visco topper or a viscoelastic mattress pad for mattresses with a cover can be placed directly on the mattress and then covered with a bed sheet

For a good sleep, you need more than a visco mattress pad.

To sleep well, one should try to create optimal sleeping conditions. Many guides that deal with the topic of "living and sleeping" emphasize that optimal sleeping conditions start with the selection of furniture (beds) and end with the pillows. This means that furniture, beds, mattresses, pillows, slatted frames, comforters, and mattress pads must create a coherent overall concept in combination. To sleep great, one should:

  • Attention should be paid to the quality of the pillows
  • Attention should be paid to the quality of the mattresses
  • High mattress quality is characterized by the quality of the mattress filling and the mattress cover quality. As with pillows, the cover should be made of high-quality material.
  • Attention should be paid to the quality of the slatted frames

 How can you recognize pillow quality?

    High pillow quality is characterized by the quality of the pillow filling and pillow cover quality. The pillow cover should ideally be made of high-quality pillow fabric, e.g., 100% cotton. A cover made of 100% polyester is not suitable for pillows, mattresses, comforters, and mattress pads.

    How can you recognize the quality of a slatted frame?

    Slatted frames should be chosen to match the mattresses. There are various covers for slatted frames that can be used as mattress protectors. More important than the quality of the slatted frames is that of the mattresses, as slatted frames have only a minor impact on the properties of a mattress. However, slatted frames can contribute significantly to the durability of mattresses. The quality of slatted frames is characterized by the following aspects:

    • Slatted frames should be flexible without giving in
    • Slatted frames should be made of high-quality materials
    • Slatted frames should have at least 28 slats
    • The slats of the slatted frames should be close together
    • Slatted frames should have a center strap
    • Slatted frames should ideally have zones like mattresses
    • Slatted frames should be reinforced in the middle zone

    Slatted frames should match the mattress

    Slatted frames should be chosen to match the mattresses. There are various toppers for slatted frames that can be used as mattress protectors. More important than the quality of the slatted frames is that of the mattresses, as slatted frames have only a minor impact on the properties of a mattress. However, slatted frames can contribute significantly to the durability of mattresses .
