As a mattress topper tester, I know that a cooling bed topper is the most cost-effective way of adding a refreshing touch to your sleep during hot summer weather. And now, adding a cooling mattress topper to your bed just got even cheaper thanks to today’s 4th of July sales. One standout deal offers you the chance to save 25% off the Active Cooling Copper Topper at ViscoSoft, with a queen discounted to $299.95 (was $399.95).
While a lot of this year’s best mattresses for all sleepers come with cooling features, others can sleep slightly warm and need a helping hand dissipating extra heat. The Active Cooling Copper Topper reduces heat and adds air circulation to any mattress, with copper-infused foam and a phase-change cover to wick away heat and moisture.
There’s a great saving on Casper’s Comfy Topper too, while our top budget cooling topper is now only $48 for a queen. Ready for cooler summer sleep? Then here are the three cooling mattress toppers I recommend buying in today’s 4th of July mattress sales…
Do mattress toppers actually work?
For mattress toppers to make an actual difference to your bed, they need to meet certain criteria. For example, a lot of budget toppers are incredibly thin, but anything shorter than two inches will make no difference to your mattress. On the other hand, anything taller than 4 inches will be too squidgy and unsupportive.
You can also look for a topper with anchor straps, which are designed to secure the topper on your bed and prevent it from shifting. However, some toppers already come with an anti-slip base and some find that toppers stay in place once a sheet is fitted over them.
