If your bed feels too firm, then a plush memory foam mattress topper is a great, cost-effective way to soften it. Luckily, softening mattress toppers just got even cheaper thanks to the Labor Day sales. One stand-out topper deals allows you to save 40% on the Tempur-Adapt Mattress Topper at Tempur-Pedic, with a queen size now $251.40 (was $419).

While there are plenty of beds to choose from in this year's best mattress guide, sometimes all you need to buy is a new mattress topper. Most of this year's best mattress toppers are designed to boost the comfort of an uncomfortable bed, so there's no need to splurge on a brand new mattress. 

This year's Labor Day mattress sales are full of discounts on mattress toppers. Here we've rounded up three of the very best Labor Day mattress topper deals for making a firm bed plush and cloud-like soft.

The 40% off discount, which reduces a queen to $251, is now back on following no Tempur-Pedic mattress deal, so we advise taking advantage of this deal before it disappears again.

What is a mattress topper?

A mattress topper is thin layer of padding that can be added to a mattress's surface to change its feel. Most mattress toppers are two to four inches thick and are made of cushioning materials such as memory foam, latex, wool, or feather and down. 

Bed toppers are particularly appealing as they allow you to change your sleep set-up without splurging on a brand new mattress, saving you money. However, memory foam toppers and feather and down toppers will need to b replaced at least every five years.
