Learn the Difference Between Underlays and Toppers

Learn the Difference Between Underlays and Toppers Underlays and toppers can help to create a haven of comfort that allows you to get a great night’s sleep, but what exactly is the difference?

Essentially an underlay is there to provide you with more comfort. An underlay can help to regulate your temperature throughout the night and thus provide a more comfortable night’s sleep. They are typically a lot thinner than a topper because they serve a different function.

What are the benefits of having an underlay?

A woollen underlay is often chosen because it will keep you at a comfortable temperature throughout the night. It will help to keep you warm in winter and cool in the summer.

It also works as a mattress protector and is another level between your bed sheet and the mattress.

Furthermore, they can be washed, helping to protect your mattress.

At Halcyon Dreams, our underlays are made from 100% pure Australian wool and will bring that added luxury to your bed.

What are the benefits of a topper?

A topper is used to help make your mattress more comfortable and therefore are typically thicker than an underlay. They are often made from memory foam and mould to the shape of your body.

Toppers can also be useful because they can increase the lifespan of your mattress.
