Mattress Toppers & Underlays

Sleep Wonderfully With A Mattress Topper And Mattress Underlay

Revitalize your sleeping experience by adding a mattress underlay, a mattress topper or even both to your bed today! At Spotlight we know a thing or two about the bedroom, and one of the best ways to have a comfortable sleeping experience is to pad out your mattress with a quality wool, down or foam mattress topper or underlay.

What is the difference between a mattress topper and a mattress underlay?

A mattress topper and a mattress underlay both sit on top of your mattress underneath your sheets and are designed to provide extra comfort and cushioning. The difference is in how much they alter the feel of your mattress!

• A mattress underlay provides a light layer of cushioning and is perfect if your current mattress just needs a little something extra to make it perfect.
• A mattress topper is thick and fluffy, and can be used to make even an old and saggy mattress feel wonderfully comfortable again.

We have mattress underlays and toppers from all your favourite bedding brands, including Tontine, Ever Rest and Jaspa.

Mattress topper and mattress underlay FAQ

What is a mattress topper?

A mattress topper is a thick layer of material like wool, cotton, polyester or memory foam used to greatly increase the comfort of a mattress. A mattress topper sits on top of a mattress and a mattress protector and underneath any sheets and quilts on the bed.

What is a mattress underlay?

A mattress underlay is a thin, dense layer of material used to add firmness and some comfort to a mattress. It sits on top of the mattress and a mattress protector, and underneath any sheets and quilts on the bed.

How to clean a mattress topper

Keep your wool, down or foam mattress topper fresh by airing it out whenever you clean your sheets and giving the surface a quick vacuum. You can spot clean small stains with a mixture of vinegar and baking soda, plus some mild soap if you like. Full mattress toppers often need to be dry cleaned or at least washed in a commercial machine, due to their size. Make sure to check the label on your mattress topper to see how yours should be cleaned!

What Else Can I Find At Spotlight?

We have an amazing range of bedding for you to look through at Spotlight, including:

• Pillow protectors: Extend the life of your pillow and protect it against sweat, oils, dust mites and bacteria with a pillow protector. These go over your pillow and underneath your pillowcase.
• Mattress protectors: This thin but durable layer of material will help protect your mattress from any fluids, dust mites and bacteria that try to make their way inside. It doesn't add any extra comfort though so it's great to pair with a mattress foam underlay or topper!
• Quilts: Quilts are the best way to sleep comfortably all year round. Fluffy and warm, you can find a quilt for every season here.
