EXPLAINED: What is an egg crate mattress topper experts explain the benefits and drawbacks - The Real Truth

Wolken 3" Egg Crate Gel Memory Foam Mattress Topper on a bed against a white wall.

Say you're sleeping on a firm, inflexible mattress that's leaving you stiff and sore in the mornings. For whatever reason, you can't replace your mattress: perhaps you're sleeping in a short-term rental and your landlord won't allow it, or you just can't afford a brand-new bed. In these sorts of circumstances, an egg crate mattress topper could provide some pressure relief that leaves you feeling looser.

Your average egg crate mattress mattress topper is highly affordable: often $100 or less. Still, as H&G's resident Sleep Editor, I'll never compromise quality for cost. This article should tell you everything you need to know about egg crate mattress toppers: how they work and whether they're worth the spend.
