4.8 5 reviewsThe Ripple Mattress Topper adds an extra layer of comfort to your existing mattress. The profiled surface features hundreds of rounded ripple contours that help distribute body weight more evenly while sleeping.
This structured foam design spreads contact across common areas such as the shoulders, hips and back, while also allowing air to circulate through the surface for a more comfortable and breathable sleep environment.
Simply place the topper on top of your mattress and cover it with your fitted sheet. The topper can be used on most beds and mattresses to add comfort without replacing your existing mattress.
