\n
\n

The core of the topper is high-quality memory foam, which has a body-hugging feel. It’s infused with graphite, a material known for its ability to dissipate heat. Graphite works by drawing heat away from the body, promoting a cooler, more comfortable sleep environment. The foam is encased in a breathable organic cotton cover that promotes airflow and contributes to the moisture-wicking properties of the topper. The cover is treated with Guardin\u2122, a botanical antimicrobial solution designed to inhibit the growth of bacteria, mold, and mildew.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n

\n

The topper’s core contains a blend of hypoallergenic down alternative and lyocell fill, which is naturally soft and breathable. A substantial 700 GSM (grams per meter) fill weight gives the topper a soft, cloud-like feel. The box quilting ensures the fill is evenly distributed for ultimate plushness. The topper is wrapped in a percale cotton cover.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n
