Our reviewer found the Luff Sleep Prestige Bamboo Mattress Topper helped to ease their back pain, allowing them to get a good night's sleep. "I would get quite hot and achy in the night, but this mattress topper has helped no end. It has ventilated CloudTec® memory foam which wicked away sweat and kept me cool.", they said.

They also reported that the setup "was easy thanks to the straps.

Some reviewers have reported that overtime, it loses it shape a bit though. Use in conjunction with the Emma NextGen Premium Mattress, which we think is a superb mattress for relieving aches and pains.
