How to Choose the Right Size Cloud Topper (and Avoid Return Hassles)
Buying a Cloud Topper is one of the easiest ways to refresh your bed, fix sagging mattresses, and enjoy deeper, more comfortable sleep. But here’s the catch: many customers face sizing issues—ordering the wrong size topper and then struggling with returns or replacements.
To help you avoid the same mistake, here’s a clear, UK-specific size guide and some expert tips so you can order the right fit the first time.
Why Sizing Confusion Happens
Many people assume that all toppers are “one size fits all.” In reality, mattress and topper sizes can vary slightly between brands, countries, and even models. On Trustpilot, several buyers have complained about toppers being either too small (sliding around the bed) or too large (folding awkwardly over the mattress).
The good news? With the right measurements, you can avoid the hassle.
Step 1: Measure Your Mattress Correctly
Before you order, grab a tape measure and check your mattress dimensions:
-
Width (side to side)
-
Length (head to foot)
-
Depth (thickness)
Write down these numbers. Don’t guess—mattress labels can sometimes be misleading.
Step 2: Match With Standard UK Mattress Sizes
Here’s a quick UK mattress size guide to help you order the perfect Cloud Topper:
-
Small Single: 75 cm x 190 cm
-
Single: 90 cm x 190 cm
-
Small Double (a.k.a. Queen): 120 cm x 190 cm
-
Double: 135 cm x 190 cm
-
King: 150 cm x 200 cm
-
Super King: 180 cm x 200 cm
👉 Always compare your mattress measurements with this chart to pick the closest fit.
Step 3: Allow for Mattress Depth & Fitted Corners
Some toppers come with elastic straps or fitted skirts to hold them in place. If your mattress is extra deep (30+ cm), make sure the topper is designed to grip securely. Otherwise, it may shift during the night.
Step 4: Learn From Competitor Complaints
On review platforms like Trustpilot, one of the biggest complaints about toppers is:
-
“The size didn’t fit properly.”
-
“It kept sliding off my mattress.”
-
“The topper hung over the edges and felt messy.”
These issues happen when customers order without measuring or when they assume US/EU sizing matches UK sizing (it doesn’t). By following the UK chart above, you’ll avoid these problems.
Step 5: Double-Check Before Ordering
Confirm your mattress size (width & length).
Match it with the UK standard guide.
Consider mattress depth and attachment style.
This extra 2 minutes will save you hours of return hassle.
Final Thoughts
A Cloud Topper is meant to bring peace, comfort, and better sleep—not the stress of returns and replacements. By measuring your mattress, checking the UK size guide, and learning from real customer reviews, you’ll ensure your topper fits perfectly the first time.
