There are all sorts of variables that need to fall into place in order for us to get a good night’s sleep.
We’ve tried putting our phones away, getting black-out blinds and even played whale music (yes, whale music) before getting under the covers, yet good-quality shut-eye can still evade us.
But sometimes, the key to a seamless slumber might lie in simply upgrading your bedding to aid more comfort, with one bed accessory in particular: a new mattress topper.
The Natural Cotton Quilted Mattress Protector from John Lewis & Partners is not only an affordable option retailing for £25-£45 depending on size, but also has almost 700 five star reviews, which is quite a feat.
It's therefore no surprise that John Lewis struggle to keep the top-rated item in stock, but luckily, there has just been a restock if you want to pop it in your basket now.
Why we rate it:
Available in six sizes – from a small single to a super king – this naturally breathable protector has a pure cotton filling and quilted outer layer for ultimate comfort and super-softness.
Plus, it uses micro-fresh technology to prevent the growth of odour-causing bacteria, so your mattress topper stays fresher for longer as it reduces bacteria growth to keep fabrics up to 99.9% germ-free.
And if you thought that mattress toppers were for old or second-hand mattresses, then think again. The soft cotton adds depth, warmth and a deeper feeling of indulgence to any bed – new or old.
It's also machine washable so it's easy to clean.
What the reviews say:
The mattress-topper has received over 900 reviews, with over 500 five-star reviews on the high street retailer’s site, with well-slept shoppers calling it “high quality”, “perfect” and “great value for money”.
