The topper was delivered in a sturdy cardboard box, which was undamaged and easy to open. The topper was packed in a plastic bag, which is not absolutely necessary but protects it from dirt and damage. The use of plastic film and vacuum compression allowed the topper to be packaged efficiently. The instructions for use and care are easy to understand. Unfortunately, the product packaging is not fully recyclable. Nevertheless, the topper makes a very good impression at first glance.

Our practical test shows that the manufacturer largely lives up to its advertising promises. The topper offers a high level of sleeping comfort as it is particularly soft, comfortable and hygienic. The mattress topper made of 100% viscoelastic mineral foam adapts perfectly to the shape of the body, allowing for relaxed sleep. The pressure relief in the shoulder and hip area relieves pressure on the spine and prevents back pain.
The topper lies firmly on the mattress and hardly slips thanks to the non-slip underside, even during restless sleep. Nevertheless, a fastening option with elastic bands or an all-round edge to prevent slipping would be desirable.
The mattress topper is available in different lengths, widths and heights to meet individual needs.
The high-quality aloe vera cover is an additional highlight and the mattress topper meets hygienic requirements, which is not only an advantage for allergy sufferers. The product is also open-pored and breathable, which ensures a pleasant sleeping climate.
