FAQ – Sleepyhead

Questions?

Does a fitted sheet go over the topper? Does a fitted sheet go over the topper?

A well-fitted sheet goes over both the topper and mattress.

What size sheets are suitable for a dorm bed? What size sheets are suitable for a dorm bed?

For dorm beds typically measuring 6-8 inches in thickness, we recommend using standard-sized fitted sheets. These sheets are designed to match the size of the mattress and can comfortably accommodate both the mattress and our Sleepyhead mattress topper.

When an individual is off campus and using a thicker mattress, we encourage using deep sheets. Deep sheets are designed with extra fabric depth to accommodate thicker mattresses. This ensures a snug and secure fit, allowing the person to enjoy a comfortable night's sleep.

Do students prefer the 2-inch or 3-inch topper? Do students prefer the 2-inch or 3-inch topper?

Our 3-inch topper is a great choice for side sleepers who are looking for an extra inch of plush comfort and protection from dorm mattresses, making it a popular choice among customers. On the other hand, our 2-inch topper is a great option for those who prefer a medium-firm sleep experience and for those who have height restrictions on top bunks.

We would recommend the 3-inch topper for extra support from a dorm mattress. However, both our 2-inch and 3-inch toppers have received positive feedback from customers and it ultimately depends on your personal preference.

What size sheets do I need? What size sheets do I need?

Any sheets 10" or deeper will fit over the topper and mattress.

We recommend measuring your mattress and adding 2-3" to know what size depth of sheets you will need.

Does the topper slide? Does the topper slide?

As of June 1, 2023 our college toppers are designed with adjustable straps and a non-slip bottom cover. This is to help prevent the topper from sliding around on your mattress, providing you with a stable and comfortable sleep surface. Make sure to pair with well-fitted sheets.

Do the toppers have a smell? Do the toppers have a smell?

While some people may be more sensitive to smells than others, we take pride in the fact that our toppers have little to no scent. If you do notice a slight smell, we recommend allowing the topper to air out for 24-72 hours before use. Our customer reviews can assure you that Sleepyhead's products do not have any lingering odors.

Is the topper cover waterproof? Is the topper cover waterproof?

Our topper cover is not waterproof, if you’re concerned about any spillage occurring, we recommend getting a waterproof mattress protector to place over the topper.

Do you recommend using a mattress pad over the topper/cover? Do you recommend using a mattress pad over the topper/cover?

Our toppers come with a cover, but if you're someone who likes to use a mattress pad for extra protection, that's totally up to you. However, we don't recommend using a mattress pad or protector.

Mattress pads and protectors can trap heat and create moisture, which can lead to mold and mildew growth. If you do use a mattress pad or protector, you will need to clean your topper cover twice as much as you would need to without the protector. Our topper covers are designed to be protective and comfortable on their own.

The topper can stay in the box for 6-12 months without affecting its quality. However, we recommend keeping it out of a hot garage and stored at room temperature.
