Sleepyhead Mattress Topper Construction
Sleepyhead mattress toppers are constructed to cradle your body in a layer of comfort. The Gel Topper provides extra cooling technology and enhanced support. The Copper Topper features antimicrobial properties. Read the following sections to learn more about construction.
Gel Topper Construction
The Sleepyhead Gel Topper is made of gel-infused memory foam that contours to your body’s shape. When you change your sleeping position or get out of bed, the foam springs back. The gel-infused foam promotes air circulation so that heat and moisture evaporate instead of becoming trapped in the memory foam. You’ll also find that the gel enhances support so that you can sleep comfortably.

Copper Topper Construction
Instead of gel, the memory foam in the Sleepyhead Copper Topper is infused with copper. You get the antibacterial, anti-microbial and odor-prevention properties of copper along with the contouring comfort of memory foam. It also draws heat away from your body as the breathable memory foam promotes air circulation. Plus, it resists mites and bed bugs. The result? A comfy and refreshing night’s sleep.

Washable Fabric Cover
Both Sleepyhead mattress toppers come with removable, washable fabric covers. Germs and odors love mattresses, so it’s important to keep sleep surfaces clean and fresh. The washable, breathable fabric cover is easy to clean and helps keep you cool, too.
Sizes
There is a Sleepyhead Gel or Copper Topper to fit most mattress sizes, including sizes typically found in dorm rooms. Depending on the size, the toppers are 2 or 3 inches thick. Both toppers are available in the following sizes:
- Twin XL (2- or 3-inch)
- Twin (3-inch)
- Full (3-inch)
- Full XL (3-inch)
- Queen (3-inch)
- King (3-inch)
Sleepyhead Mattress Topper Review: Pros and Any Limitations
We researched and reviewed the Sleepyhead mattress toppers and believe they have advantages as well as minor drawbacks.
Pressure Relief
When your memory foam topper conforms to your shape, it helps relieve pressure at your shoulders, spine and hips. You won’t have gaps between your body and mattress surface, which can cause discomfort at pressure points. Sleepyhead’s Gel Topper and Copper Topper cradle your body and provide that all-important pressure relief. The memory foam helps keep your spine properly aligned to help prevent morning stiffness.
Sleep Cool
The right temperature is a key factor for a restful sleep. Both Sleepyhead toppers help keep you cool and comfortable so you don’t wake up in a sweat. The breathable fabric cover promotes air circulation to keep you dry. The Gel Topper is especially good at keeping you cool, with its cooling gel-infused memory foam.
Great for Dorm Rooms
Let’s face it. If you’re living in a college dorm, you want to keep germs under control. With Sleepyhead Gel and Copper Toppers, you don’t have to sleep directly on a used dorm mattress. The memory foam mattress toppers adds a thick layer of comfort and support to a thin mattress. You’ll love the removable, washable fabric cover that helps keep your sleep surface germ-free.
Speaking of clean, the Copper Topper has an infusion of antimicrobial, odor-fighting copper. That means fewer germs and molds that can cause viruses and allergy symptoms. It also helps keep the bed bugs and mites away. A clean and fresh mattress topper is a great start to a restful sleep.

When buying a mattress topper, you want to make sure it’s the right choice for your comfort. Sleepyhead understands that it can take time to decide if you’ve purchased the right product.

Warranty
It’s good to know that a company backs its product with a warranty. Sleepyhead mattress toppers come with a warranty that lasts for five years after the original purchase date. Coverage includes damage caused by defective materials or craftsmanship. Warranty terms are subject to change, so it’s a good idea to ask the company for warranty details before you buy.
Off-Gassing
Having your mattress topper shipped in a box is convenient, but it does bring a minor disadvantage known as off-gassing. As the memory foam decompresses and airs out, it can produce an unpleasant odor. Before using your new topper, you may want to leave it in a well-ventilated room for a few hours to get rid of the odor. Thanks to Sleepyhead’s Certi-PUR US certification, however, the odor is not harmful.
