This one is special mattress pad made of pure linen and natural merino wool. I've seen similar products in other websites saying this product is a mattress topper despite I personally call it mattress pad or mattress protector. Yes it is a topper but your satisfaction of it would really depends from your specific need. If you are looking for a product to: Protect your mattress and to extend its life, to absorb the wet and to wicks moisture away from the body, to provide soft touch and freshness in the summer and special natural warmth in the winter, to improve your sleeping due to the benefits given by its natural structure to restore your connection with the Mother Earth, to be naturally fire and flame retardant.
