The 10 Best Mattress Pads

For those who suffer from allergies, the Balichun Down Alternative (around $79) can help keep the sniffles away with its hypoallergenic top. It's a great way to give new life to an old mattress, but it's a bit on the thin side, so don't expect a true hotel experience.

The Hanna Kay Clyne (appx. $26) is a best-seller because of its exquisite craftsmanship. Its knitted polyester sides are designed to easily fit over pillow top mattresses up to 18 inches deep and it can even accommodate a foam topper for the ultimate snoozing environment.

Instantly create a comfortable sleeping surface without any bulk using the Hospitology Heavenly (about $40). The 100% polyester filling feels like down, but it won't flatten over time the way feathers can. Plus, it provides exceptional warmth.

The Lucid 5-Zone (appx. $48) will soothe you in several ways. It's lavender-infused for a deeply calming aroma, and each texturized section provides a special sensation that's just right for the part of your body with which it is aligned.

No matter what position you prefer to sleep in, the Red Nomad Ultra Premium (around $160) will have you catching ZZZs quicker than ever before. It is carefully crafted with certified American-made foam that resists punctures and can stand the test of time.

You can sleep peacefully and wake up feeling refreshed on the lofty and luxurious Mastertex Fitted (about $28). It is made with a silky smooth sateen jacquard fabric that is machine washable, plus its beautiful dotted design adds an elegant touch.

Even if you believe that nothing could possibly spruce up your raggedy old mattress, the Dreamfoam Bedding Swirl (around $68) might prove you wrong, as it has done to many others. Plus, it's free of toxins like lead, phthalates, and flame retardants

Experience luxurious comfort on the Exceptional Sheets Extra Plush (about $110). This highly-rated option is made with a top-quilted bamboo blend that is not only environmentally-friendly but also helps to regulate your body temperature throughout the night.

If you want to protect your sleeping surface and health, then the Utopia Bedding Quilted (appx. $23) makes a fine choice. It's as basic as they come and can retain its shape through multiple wash cycles, making it great for households full of messy kids.

You may never want to get up in the mornings when you get your REM cycles on the Sleep Innovations Dual Layer (about $100). Its extra-thick foam provides a total sense of support, even for those with back and neck troubles, but still cradles the body nicely.
