Toppers to soften a mattress that's too firm, protectors that keep it clean without the crinkle, deep-pocket sheets that actually reach under a modern mattress, and blackout masks for the light you can't switch off. Every size here is listed in inches alongside the pocket depth it fits.

What to check before you buy

  1. 01

    Measure mattress depth first

    Standard fitted sheets stop at about 12 inches. Add a topper and most mattresses pass 14, so the sheet pops off the corners every night. Measure with the topper on.

  2. 02

    A topper changes firmness, not support

    A topper can make a too-firm mattress comfortable. It cannot fix a sagging one — you'll feel the dip straight through. Replace the mattress in that case.

  3. 03

    Check how a protector sounds

    Waterproof backing is what makes some protectors crackle when you roll over. Membrane-backed knit fabrics stay quiet; laminated vinyl does not.
