Frequently Asked Questions
Get Answers to Commonly Asked Questions About BedStory Mattress Toppers
Do BedStory mattress toppers help with back pain?
Absolutely. The ergonomic design conforms to the body's curves, evenly distributes weight, and reduces tension in the shoulders, hips, and back—making them especially beneficial for those with chronic pain or poor posture.
Will the topper make my bed too hot?
No. Our toppers use cooling gel infusion and ventilated open-cell structures that promote airflow and regulate temperature—keeping hot sleepers cool all night long.
Do they isolate motion transfer?
Yes. Individually pocketed coils, combined with high-density foam, significantly reduce motion transfer to ensure a sweet, uninterrupted night's sleep.
Does it slide around on the bed?
Toppers all come with four corner elastic straps to secure the topper to the mattress.
How thick should I get (2, 3, or 4 inches)?
2-3 inches: Best for changing the feel of a mattress, adding firmness to a sagging one.
4 inches: Dramatically alters the height and feel. Note that you may need deep-pocket sheets to fit the added height.
How do I clean the topper?
BedStory mattress toppers feature a zippered cover for quick removal and are machine washable to keep them clean. The inner foam core should never be washed or submerged in water.
Is it safe for allergies?
Yes. BedStory foams are CertiPUR-US and OEKO-TEX certified, free of harmful chemicals, and are hypoallergenic.
Can I use the topper as an RV mattress?
Yes. Portable design makes the mattress topper easy to carry, for camping, RV mattresses, or dormitory use.
Can I use a BedStory topper on any mattress?
Yes. Our toppers are designed to fit standard mattress sizes and work with most mattress types—including innerspring, hybrid, and memory foam beds.
How long does it take for the topper to fully expand?
It typically takes 48 to 72 hours to fully expand. Lower room temperatures may slow this process, so keeping the room warm (around 75°F/24°C) can help.
Is there an odor when you first open it?
No, CertiPUR-US foam ensures there is no odor. A well-ventilated room helps smells dissipate quickly.
Is it bouncy?
Generally, no. Memory foam is known for a slow-rebound feel rather than bounce. We describe it as having a "cradling" effect.
