Memory Foam Mattress
Pads
Don't confuse the terms topper and pad. Many
people think that a mattress topper and a mattress pad are the
same. This may come form people being careless with the
use of the terms in casual conversation. But when you are
buying one they are very different. And a foam mattress
pad may just be a one half inch roll of urethane.
A mattress pad is not as thick as a mattress topper. A
mattress pad is usually made of a quilted cotton or synthetic
nylon material. A mattress pad can provide additional
padding to a mattress, but they are not usually added for
comfort. They are typically added to protect the
mattress. Many children’s beds have them to protect the
mattress from nighttime accidents. Mattress pads, not toppers
or foam pads, are also convenient because they can be machine
washed.
