Creative Ways to Use a Mattress Topper

More than just mattress magic, unexpected uses for extra comfort wherever you need it.

Mattress toppers are best known for transforming uncomfortable beds into supportive, cloud-like havens. But did you know they’re also incredibly versatile? 

If you’ve got a topper, you’re not using year-round- or you’re considering buying a new one- it’s worth knowing just how many ways you can put it to good use. From sleepovers to van life, here are some creative ways to make the most of your mattress topper. 

1. Instantly Upgrade a Guest Bed 

Most guest beds aren’t exactly known for their comfort. Whether it’s a futon, sofa bed, or a lumpy old mattress, adding a topper can make it feel like a proper bed, and help your guests wake up without aches and pains. 

2. Use It for Camping or Glamping 

Camping doesn’t have to mean roughing it. Pop your topper into a tent (or campervan) and transform hard ground or thin sleeping mats into a proper mattress experience. You’ll sleep more comfortably, especially with our memory foam toppers that provide pressure relief even on uneven surfaces.  

3. Make a Cosy Reading or Chill-Out Nook 

Roll your topper out in a sunny corner, stack it with cushions and a throw, and voilà - you’ve got the ultimate reading spot or meditation space. Kids love it too! It’s an easy way to create a comfy lounge area that can be tucked away when not in use. 

4. Refresh a Daybed or Sofa 

Toppers aren’t just for beds - use one to breathe new life into an old sofa or daybed. The Seriously Comfortable toppers are especially useful on surfaces that feel too firm or bumpy. Add a fitted sheet over the top, and enjoy a more supportive sit (or nap!). 

5. Treat Your Pets to Luxury

Don’t throw out your old topper just yet! If you’ve recently upgraded, cut the old topper down into smaller sizes to use as luxury pet beds. Add a washable cover and your dog or cat will have a sleep setup that rivals your own. 

Bonus: it’s also great for lining crates or travel carriers. 

6. Movie Nights Just Got Cosier 

Whether it’s a movie marathon, a sleepover, or just a lazy Sunday, you can set up your topper in the living room and create a cosy, cinema-style floor bed. Add pillows, throws, and snacks - you’ll never want to get back on the sofa.
