What mattress topper firmness should you get for an elderly person?

We all have different needs, and this is even more apparent as we age.

Do they spend a lot of time in bed? If so, a memory foam topper may help relieve pressure on joints for greater comfort. Pair a memory foam topper with a Coolmax mattress protector for greater comfort. Or, consider our cooling memory foam topper which is perfect for warmer weather. If staying warm, but not getting too hot is more of a consideration then a wool-fill topper would be a better choice. Wool helps us regulate our body temperatures; keeping us warm in colder weather and cool in warm weather. If insulation is important, then look for a topper rich in down.

Be mindful of how much support is needed so you choose the right firmness. If more support is needed, consider memory foam or toppers with a high percentage of feathers or feather bases.
