Comfort is key when it comes to a good night’s sleep. A foam topper offers a much-needed layer of comfort between you and your standard—and firm—student housing mattress.

At Sleepyhead, we focus on three of the best options: Super blend, gel-infused, and copper-infused mattress toppers. Keep reading to learn more about their benefits, similarities, and differences.

We combined all the benefits of Sleepyhead’s Gel Topper and Copper Topper and made one Super Topper. 

Gel & Copper infusions help maximize a comfortable temperature for a restful sleep. Leveraging copper's natural antimicrobial properties, this topper helps resist odors and mites, too. The Super Topper also comes with the newly redesigned CoolTech 2.0 washable cover to ensuring a clean, cool sleep surface.

Gel-infused memory foam mattress toppers are wonderfully plush and provide balanced support for all kinds of sleepers. Whether you’re a side, back, or stomach sleeper, this style of mattress topper will give you the pressure relief you need to wake up well-rested. One of the most significant advantages of a gel-infused topper is its ability to draw warmth away from your body, producing a cooler sleeping surface.

There are so many reasons to fall in love with a copper-infused topper. It's breathable, provides temperature regulation, and is an excellent option for protecting against mites and lingering odors. But that’s not all. Copper's natural antimicrobial properties protect against all sorts of undesirable microbes that build up over time. Copper-infused mattress toppers are great choice for anyone looking for a more hygienic sleep environment.

The top similarities of these three incredible toppers are their comfort, cooling effects, and breathability. The Gel Topper Copper Topper, and Super Topper all have the same base—memory foam—which gives them a similar feel. Memory foam mattresses and toppers were created to relieve pressure and regulate body temperature. The super blend of Gel & Copper nanotechnology of the Super Topper only intensify the underlying benefits of the memory foam.

The one drawback of almost any memory foam infused mattress topper is a slight chemical smell upon opening. However, this smell is not harmful since ours are made from CertiPUR‑US certified foam, which is tested to be free of harmful toxins and materials. The smell will quickly dissipate as the mattress topper airs out.

How do you choose between three great options? There’s no wrong choice. Whether you choose a memory foam mattress topper infused with Gel, Copper, or both you’ll have a cool, comfortable spot to rest your head.

However, some differences between them may make one more desirable to you over the other. It all depends on what you’re looking for in a mattress topper. Our Super Topper combines all the benefits of Sleepyhead’s Gel Topper and Copper Topper into one. Gel & Copper infusions help maximize a comfortable temperature for a restful sleep and offer antimicrobial, odor-resistant, mite-resistant properties. It repels allergens and promotes a more hygienic sleep environment. Our Gel Topper excels at maintaining a comfortable temperature for a restful sleep, while our Copper Topper features copper's natural antimicrobial, hygiene, and wellness properties. The Super Topper combines the benefits of both.

The various health and sanitary benefits of copper are just now growing in popularity in bedding products. Copper-infused mattress toppers offer a new set of benefits, including copper's natural antibacterial, odor-resistant, mite-resistant and allergen repelling properties—which differentiates them from other types of toppers. Therefore, the Super Topper which has all of the Copper-infused benefits with the added cooling properties of Gel is the topper of 2024 and beyond.
