Parachute's Down Alternative Mattress Topper is a featherbed rather than a foam pad. It adds three inches of hypoallergenic microfiber fill, held in place by three-dimensional baffle box stitching so the fill stays even across a wide king, and wrapped in a 100% cotton sateen shell. Parachute compares the feel to sinking into a cloud, and it suits couples who like a soft hotel-style top more than contouring foam. When we checked, the king was $300 with free shipping and 60-day returns. It does nothing for support, so it will not help a sagging bed or a partner with back pain. Parachute also sells a real down version that costs $495 in king, and couples who want plush and support together should look at ViscoSoft or Tempur-Pedic instead.
