Tempur-Pedic Mattress Toppers: Alternatives to the Memory Foam Mattress

Sticker shock is inevitable if you are doing a mattress price comparison. Even the most ‘affordable’ models of Tempur-Pedic and Sleep Number beds will start in the six or seven hundred dollar range and go as high as seven thousand. But don’t let the Tempur-Pedic price comparisons discourage you; there are options like mattress toppers and overlays that use the same Tempur-Pedic mattress material, but cost significantly less.

The 2-inch thick Tempur-Pedic Campus Topper was introduced as something for the college bound to take to their dorm rooms – a welcome enhancement for standard issued beds that may need an extra layer of comfort. Available in a twin long size for $349, this is at least half the price of even the most affordable Tempur-Pedic mattress and is easy to transport from school back to home. It also comes with a convenient duffel bag.

Campers and travelers can also benefit from the 3-inch thick Tempur-Pedic Mattress Overlay, which is easy to roll out anywhere. This memory foam mattress topper can also be used over a traditional mattress in cases where you are unable to purchase a Tempur-Pedic mattress – a twin size will cost $532 and a king is $948. Not inexpensive, but a great value considering the extra support that memory foam can provide.

If you are still hesitant about these prices and want to keep shopping, always make sure to do your proper research into each brand and their respective technologies.
