Mattress Topper for a Queen Bed: Compare Our Two Pillow Tops

A mattress topper changes how your bed feels without replacing the mattress. We make two queen toppers that differ mainly in how much fill sits on top of your mattress, and that decides how the bed feels.

Our queen mattress toppers

Which topper is right for you? It depends on how plush you want the bed

GSM stands for grams per square meter and describes how much fill goes into the topper. A higher number means more loft. Our 550 GSM topper gives a medium plush layer. You rest on top of it and the mattress underneath still does most of the work. The 1000 GSM topper is the ultra plush option, with a deep pillow-top feel that sinks in more.

Both toppers are queen size, 60x80 inches, and both attach with an elastic deep-pocket skirt that stretches over the mattress corners like a fitted sheet. The 550 GSM fits mattresses 8 to 20 inches deep. The 1000 GSM pocket goes up to 21 inches.

What is the same on both

The pillow-top cover is a blend of bamboo viscose and polyester, which feels smooth and lets heat escape instead of trapping it. Both are machine washable on a gentle cycle at 30°C or cooler, then tumble dried with no heat. After washing, shake the topper for a few minutes and give it 24 to 48 hours to regain its loft.

Both come in green, with free shipping within the contiguous U.S.

How to choose between 550 and 1000 GSM

Pick 550 GSM if your mattress is mostly fine but feels a little too firm, or if you tend to sleep warm and want to stay on top of the surface. It adds softness without changing the bed too much, and it is the lighter of the two to lift when you change sheets.

Pick 1000 GSM if your mattress is very firm or a bit worn and you want a thick, cushioned top layer. It is also the choice for a deeper mattress, since the pocket reaches 21 inches. If you are torn, our guide on 550 versus 1000 GSM walks through the trade-offs in more detail.

Mattress topper questions

What is the difference between a mattress topper and a mattress pad?

A pad is a thin quilted layer, mostly there to protect the mattress. A topper is thicker and bought to change how the bed feels, softer or more cushioned. If you want a different feel, choose a topper.

How thick should a mattress topper be?

It depends on how much change you want. A lighter fill, like our 550 GSM, gives a medium plush layer. A heavier fill, like our 1000 GSM, gives a deeper, sink-in feel. Also check the pocket depth against your mattress height, and your sheets against the combined height.

What is the difference between the 550 and 1000 GSM toppers?

Fill weight. The 550 GSM topper is medium plush and keeps you on top of the surface. The 1000 GSM topper has roughly twice the fill and gives an ultra plush, sink-in pillow-top feel. Cover, build, size and care are the same.

What size are the toppers?

Both are queen size, 60x80 inches. We only sell queen.

What mattress depth do they fit?

The 550 GSM topper fits queen mattresses 8 to 20 inches deep. The 1000 GSM topper has a pocket depth of up to 21 inches. Measure your mattress from the bottom edge to the top surface before you order.

Are the toppers machine washable?

Yes. Wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C or cooler with no bleach, tumble dry with no heat, then shake the topper vigorously for up to five minutes. Allow 24 to 48 hours for the fill to regain its full loft.

What are the toppers made of?

A bamboo viscose and polyester blend in a pillow-top build.

Will a topper stay in place?

The elastic deep-pocket skirt stretches over the corners of the mattress and holds the topper like a fitted sheet. It helps to pull the skirt fully down on all four corners. Our guide on stopping a topper from sliding covers the rest.

Do I need new sheets?

Possibly. A topper adds height, so check that your fitted sheets have pockets deep enough for the mattress plus the topper. Deep-pocket sheets are the usual fix.

Which topper is better for hot sleepers?

Both use a breathable bamboo viscose cover. The 550 GSM topper is the lighter one and keeps you closer to the surface, so it is the usual pick for warm sleepers.

Which topper is better for a firm mattress?

For a mattress that is only slightly too firm, the 550 GSM topper is enough. For a very firm or worn mattress, the 1000 GSM topper gives a much deeper cushion.

What color are the toppers?

Both are green.

Is shipping free?

Yes, we offer free shipping within the contiguous U.S.
