Worth Every Penny

I wasn’t sure if it would be that different from other mattress toppers, but the Super Topper seriously impressed me. It added the perfect amount of support, and the copper keeps it feeling clean even in a stuffy dorm room.

College Must-Have

I wasn’t sure if a mattress topper would make a big difference, but it totally changed how I sleep. This should be on every college packing list.

Super Clean, Super Comfy

I love that the Super Topper has copper in it. It stays smelling fresh even in a shared dorm room, and I’ve noticed fewer allergy issues. The comfort level is amazing—like sleeping on a high-end bed.

Perfect Fit for Dorm Life

I was worried it wouldn’t stay in place, but the straps work great. It fits my Twin XL bed perfectly and makes my mattress so much more comfortable.

No bad nights

A great education doesn’t always come with a great mattress — a fact I quickly realized during my first days in college housing. I knew there must be a way to transform that worn-out dorm bed into a comfy place to lay my head. That’s when Sleepyhead was born, the mattress topper brand tailored to college students.
