A mattress topper recommended by entrepreneur Grace Beverley has been put to the test, with the writer reporting a noticeable upgrade in sleep quality. The Tielle Savoy Luxury Hotel Topper, priced from £182, is designed to replicate the plush beds at The Savoy hotel.
The search for better sleep
The writer, a self-described terrible sleeper who knows what 2.43am, 3.17am and 4.56am look like, was intrigued when Beverley shared the secret behind a hotel bed so comfortable she messaged the hotel to find out where it was from. The answer was not a £5,000 mattress, a fancy pillow, or a sleep gadget, but a mattress topper.
Within five minutes of learning this, the writer decided to purchase one. Upon arrival, the unboxing became a family event, with a FaceTime call to her mum and grandma, both fellow members of the 'Bad Sleepers Association'.
The topper's features and first impressions
The topper is made with a 70% feather and 30% down fill, wrapped in a 100% cotton case, with elastic straps to keep it securely attached to the mattress. The writer got into bed immediately at approximately 7.41pm, with make-up off, LED mask done, and skincare applied.
Upon lying down, the writer felt the bed was soft without being unsupportive, plush without sinking into quicksand, and comfortable in a way that made her entire body unclench. She said she felt like she had upgraded her mattress overnight.
Is it worth the money?
The writer notes that £182 is a lot for a mattress topper, but believes it is worth considering for those who value sleep. She highlights that we spend roughly a third of our lives in bed and would happily justify investing in something that makes those hours more comfortable.
Her biggest concern now is what happens when she sleeps somewhere else, as once you've experienced hotel-bed levels of comfort every night, it's hard to go back. She also suggests several cheaper alternatives, including the Dunelm Dorma Full Forever Mattress Topper from £60, the Simba Cool Foam Mattress Topper from £126.65, the Soak & Sleep Soft As Down Mattress Topper from £30, the Panda Memory Foam 5cm Mattress Topper from £100, the Dusk Feels Like Down Mattress Topper from £33, and The White Company Ultrasoft Dual Layer Topper from £84.
