A top-quality mattress, supportive pillows and luxurious bedding are great buys for a good night’s sleep. Still, once they’re sorted, it’s time to enhance the setup with an often-overlooked necessity: a mattress topper. This extra layer sits on top of the mattress, offering additional comfort, support and occasionally even temperature control.
Panda London’s Bamboo Mattress Topper is a fantastic choice. Not only is it currently reduced, with a double size reduced to £125.96 from £139.95, but it also has some eco-friendly claims.
The brand prioritises sustainability by using bamboo, an environmentally friendly material that’s naturally renewable, hypoallergenic, and antibacterial. Its cover is made from 70% bamboo fibre and 30% polyester, making it soft, breathable, and resistant to odours.
Beyond its sustainable benefits, the topper is designed for ultimate comfort, featuring the brand’s innovative HydroFoam, a temperature-regulating memory foam that helps prevent overheating – something traditional memory foam toppers can struggle with. Plus, for peace of mind, Panda offers a 30-night trial, free delivery and a 10-year guarantee.
However, there are plenty more mattress toppers to consider. That includes My Nature’s Airflow Mattress Topper (£89.99, double), designed to help banish those sweaty, restless nights, thanks to its cooling knitted fabric, which regulates body temperature while sleeping.
I snapped one of these up for the summer, and it’s been a great addition. I still invested in a fan once the weather heated up, but the mesh topper is lightweight and airy, providing a breathable addition to my bed.
Meanwhile, Dunelm’s Wool Reversible Mattress Topper (£130, double) has a premium merino wool cover on one side and a crisp cotton reverse on the other, giving users year-round flexibility. The soft merino wool provides warmth and cosiness in the colder months, while the cotton side offers a cooler option for spring and summer.
In terms of customer feedback for Panda London, the topper has earned a strong 4.8-star rating from more than 15,000 reviews. One shopper said: “Really impressed – made my old mattress feel like new. Highly recommend.”
Meanwhile, a second person chimed in: “I love this topper. I have arthritis in my hips and shoulders, and this has improved my sleep and relieved the pain so much. I actually look forward to bedtime again.”
But another complained: “The mattress cover is too loose and stretchy, so it does not stay in place under the sheet.” And someone else noted: “Not as comfortable as I was hoping. My back aches more, so I’ve taken it off.”
In contrast, a Panda London fan piped up: “This mattress topper is fantastic – our mattress used to give us backache in the morning, whereas the mattress topper has changed that! So comfortable, breathable and great, would 100% recommend.”
And another said: “This topper has transformed my firm mattress into a comfortable sleep experience. It’s like sleeping on a cloud.”
