What is a topper and why your hotel shouldn't be without one
From Top Pillow to Topper
The Top Pillow is the foundation from which all toppers originate. For several years, it has been standard practice, especially in hotels and hospitality establishments, to use Top Pillows to maintain, insulate, and protect the mattress, simplify maintenance, and allow for easy replacement in case of wear.
Toppers are also used when a room with twin beds needs to be converted into a double room. In such cases, to minimize the gap between the two mattresses, the topper ensures the feel of a single, uniform surface.
Since the hospitality sector involves heavy wear and tear, the topper—which can be attached via zipper or elastic straps—ensures:
01
The ability to wash the topper repeatedly, ensuring better hygiene and cleanliness
02
Isolate the mattress and protect it, especially if it is fixed and therefore not removable or washable
03
Maintain, air out, and wash only a part of the mattress, thus avoiding the need for staff to handle heavy loads
04
You can simply replace the topper in case of wear instead of the entire mattress
Please remember that
Like all sleep products, the topper should be aired out and flipped periodically to maintain its proper shape and volume.
For comfortable use, the size of the topper should be identical to that of the mattress.
All toppers are made with hypoallergenic materials and are STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® certified, which verifies the absence of harmful substances and declares the product safe for human health.
Many other toppers are derived from the Top Pillow, hereinafter referred to as the Polyester Fiber Topper: Memory Foam, Memory Foam Breeze, Latex, Down, and Hypoallergenic Feather.
Polyester Fiber Topper
It can be attached to the mattress either with a zipper, for custom-made mattresses, or with elastic straps, and is available in both fire-retardant and non-fire-retardant versions.
Memory Foam or Memory Foam Breeze Topper
Imagine owning a mattress in good condition—free of significant sagging and placed on a solid base or a slatted frame with an intact surface. In these cases, the topper allows you to make a new mattress that feels a bit too firm very cozy, or to restore comfort to a mattress that has lost some of its volume over time due to the natural settling of the padding fibers.
The Memory Foam topper offers different levels of support: medium for the 3cm thickness and high for the 5cm thickness.
Memory Foam cannot be washed; in this case, the cover features a 4-sided zipper, making it easy to remove and wash.
Memory Foam may feel warmer; for sensitive individuals, we recommend Memory Foam Breeze, which is ultra-breathable.
Quilted Memory Foam Topper
If made with a removable cover, one part of the topper can be easily washed, and the Memory Foam slab can then be reinserted using a convenient zipper for use.
Latex Topper
The advantage of 100% natural latex is that it is, in fact, natural. In this case as well, the material itself cannot be washed, only the cover.
Due to the inherent characteristics of latex, maintenance is more demanding; the material must be aired out frequently, every 10-15 days, to prevent trapped moisture from causing mold.
Down or Hypoallergenic Feather Topper
The comfort they provide is definitely a softer and more welcoming mattress, but unlike Memory Foam, they do not provide high support.
Feather and down are highly breathable and provide excellent thermoregulation.
