The ViscoSoft Pillow Top Mattress Pad is the low-cost way to add a pillow-top feel. It is a quilted pad rather than a thick topper, so it softens the surface without changing the support of the mattress underneath. ViscoSoft fills it with down alternative and uses copper-infused yarns in a moisture-wicking performance fabric. A deep pocket skirt with strong elastic fits mattresses up to 18 inches, and the pad is machine washable. ViscoSoft positions it for sleepers who like their mattress overall but want a softer surface, and for guest room or dorm beds. A twin started at $49.95 when we checked, and it carries the same 90-day money back guarantee and 5-year warranty as ViscoSoft's toppers. Expect a modest change: if your mattress feels hard, a 3 or 4 inch hybrid like the Rescue will do more.
