Ask Our Experts


My wife and I have


an innerspring


mattress, and when


she tosses, it wakes


me up. Would a
foam topper help?

ADDING A FOAM TOPPER (which can cost $100 or more) may help
in the short term by blunting some of the vibrations from a restless
bedmate, “but it could affect your current comfort by changing the
firmness and support the mattress offers,” says Chris Regan, CR’s
lead mattress tester. If you’re ready for a new innerspring mattress,
look for models that state they are constructed with several inches
of foam on top of the springs, which may or may not be visible.
The Charles P. Rogers Powercore Estate 5000 mattress, $1,500, has
foam layers and is one of the best innerspring models at minimizing
bounce in our ratings. Or if you’re open to a full-foam model, check
out the very stable Beautyrest model (above).
