An old mattress can get new life with an extra layer of padding. A good night’s sleep is invaluable for a productive day, but a surprising number of people aren’t getting the required zzzz’s they need. Although there are many factors to consider, one reason for the restless night might be a worn down mattress, or a mattress that is too firm. Before you get sticker shock over the price of replacing it, consider getting a mattress topper instead. There are many styles to choose from when making this decision.
