The lying comfort of the Mister Sandman gel topper mattress topper fully meets expectations. The gel foam provides excellent pressure relief, especially in sensitive areas such as the shoulders and hips. Slight noise can be heard when moving around in bed, but this is not unusual for most mattress toppers of this type. Cleaning is uncomplicated and takes place without any major problems. Only after washing the cover is there minimal care required. The topper also adapts very well to different sleeping positions and always offers the usual comfort thanks to its perfect recovery behavior. Particularly noteworthy is the good support of the individual body regions, which contributes to a healthy sleeping posture and improves overall sleeping comfort.
