What is a Mattress Pad versus a Mattress Topper?

A mattress pad and a mattress topper serve similar purposes but have some key differences:

Mattress Pad:

A mattress pad is typically thinner than a mattress topper and is designed to provide a layer of protection for your mattress.
It often serves as a barrier between you and the mattress, protecting it from spills, stains, dust mites, and other allergens.
Mattress pads are usually quilted or fitted and are secured to the mattress like a fitted sheet with elastic edges.
They can add a slight amount of padding or cushioning to the mattress, but their primary purpose is protection.
If you are looking for an all-natural layer of protection for your mattress, we have Bamboo Filled Mattress Pads encased in 100% Bamboo Lyocell for all bed sizes: OCOCHI Bamboo Mattress Pad

Mattress Topper:

A mattress topper is a thicker layer of material that is placed on top of your mattress to alter its firmness, provide additional support, or enhance comfort.
Toppers come in various materials such as memory foam, latex, down alternative, feather-filled or wool.
They can be used to soften a firm mattress or add extra support to a softer one.
Mattress toppers are generally thicker than mattress pads and are not typically used for protection; instead, they are mainly for comfort and support.
