Just ask our tester, Spencer Kildare, who tested the luxury plush version of this mattress topper on his 16-year-old mattress. “My mattress is very old and worn in, so it’s probably not the best mattress to sleep on, but I have gotten accustomed to it,” he admits. “My sleep quality isn’t the best, and I sometimes feel like I’m 60% to 90% rested.” The Helix mattress topper couldn’t come soon enough!Kildare, who slept on the luxury plush mattress topper for five nights with a few naps scattered throughout the week, gave it as a eight out of 10 on the firmness scale. “The mattress feels like it has structure but also feels like it has the potential to give,” he explains. When pressure is applied, Kildare says the topper offers quite a bit of resistance. And when he laid on his side, he found that he didn’t sink in as much as he did prior to using the Helix mattress topper. Most importantly, he noticed a significant improvement in his sleep quality.With the Helix mattress topper securely on his bed, Kildare found himself waking up feeling rested and energized. “I woke up 85% to 100% rested, which really helped get my day going. My circadian cycle was maintained and improved with this mattress topper,” he raves. “I never woke up sore or in pain.”Made with a combination of memory foam and steel microcoils, this mattress topper for side sleepers is a true hybrid model. Better yet, its four layers are wrapped in a GlacioTex cooling cover that draws heat away from your body and keeps you cool while you sleep. Sturdy straps are on each corner to ensure a secure fit and prevent it from sliding around on your mattress. In fact, Kildare notes that in addition to the comfort and support offered by this mattress topper, the straps are a big part of what makes it hard to beat.All in all, Kildare was highly satisfied with the Helix mattress topper. When asked what could be done to make this mattress topper even better, he couldn’t think of a single thing. “There isn’t much that I would do to make the mattress topper better,” he says. “I appreciated how comfortable it was and how well it stayed centered on my mattress.” And while it’s one of the pricier options on our list, Kildare insists that it’s a good value. “I believe there are cheaper options that offer similar comfort, but the quality and straps make this hard to beat,” he explains. “You get what you pay for: quality.”The post 8 Best Mattress Toppers for Side Sleepers, Tested and Reviewed appeared first on Reader's Digest.
