Having a comfier bed is something many of us dream of, but there's a big barrier in the way, the expense. Buying a new mattress can cost hundreds, and even more than £1,000 for premium options, making an upgrade unaffordable for many.
But there are some much more budget-friendly options out there that can massively increase how comfortable your mattress is at an affordable price. There are many mattress toppers, ranging from gel to foam, and they simply fit on top of your existing setup to provide an instant difference and help you to get plenty of sleep.
Dunelm has launched its January sale, with discounts across a range of homeware items and savings of up to 50%. Its Gel Fusion Memory Foam Mattress Topper is extremely popular, with more than 1,700 reviews and an average rating of 4.6 out of 5.
It normally costs between £115 and £190, depending on the size of bed, but the sale has seen it drop to between £92 and £152. The product description says: "Infused with gel particles which help to absorb and disperse body heat to regulate your temperature and keep you cooler for longer, this memory foam filled mattress topper is ideal to ensure a relaxed night’s sleep."
One reviewer said: "Very comfortable, I am prone to back pain and since buying this I can confirm that I am sleeping much better and waking up with no pain at all."

The Gel Fusion mattress topper (Dunelm)Another added: "Even with a really good mattress, a topper is a must and this one fits the bill perfectly. So good to snuggle into but at the same time providing support where you need it." However, one buyer only gave the product two stars, saying they had found it does not suit a firm mattress.
A really cheap option is the Fogarty Perfectly Washable Mattress Topper which currently has 20% off. It's normally £25 to £35 but the sale has seen it drop to between £20 to £28, depending on the size you require. There are a lot less reviews on this product, just 70, but it still boasts a high rating of 4.6 stars out of 5.

It's more expensive though, priced between £109.65 for a single up to £215.90 for a super king.
