Memory foam is a brilliant material for contouring your body to create an almost weightless feel during sleep. This takes the pressure off your joints and can help to relieve back pain, depending on whether your doctor says you’re better off with a medium-firm or firm bed.
This year’s Prime Day deals include a wide range of memory foam toppers, and we’ve rounded up three of the juiciest offers right here. So if you’re looking for the best mattress topper for easing aches and pains, and at a cheaper price than normal, you’re in luck today. And if you're not sure about the difference between a topper and a mattress pad, our mattress pad vs mattress topper guide will make everything clear for you.
If you decide you need an entirely new bed instead, then take a look at our best mattress guide for this year’s top-rated options – or to tackle pain specifically, these are the best mattresses for back pain.
Sleeping with back pain is very difficult, but you can reduce how often discomfort wakes you up by ensuring you’re sleeping on the right surface for your particular pain. We’d advise speaking to your doctor or physical therapist for advice before buying any sleep accessories. This includes buying a new pillow as depending on the one you choose, it can either support your neck or throw it out of alignment, which will impact your back pain.
Many people swear by memory foam to create a sense of pain-relieving weightlessness, but others hate it and feel they sink in too much to stay comfortably aligned. All of the toppers featured above come on a trial basis, and you can return them within 30 days if you change your mind and don’t open them.
