Egg Crate Mattress Pad

An egg crate mattress pad is a cost effective way to reduce pressure, some available for as little as $20. Its bumps and dips resemble an oversized egg carton, hence its name. You can either put the bumps down or up, whatever brings you the most comfort.

Egg crate toppers oftentimes are composed of, depending on the manufacturer, open or closed cell foam. High quality pads are made of medical-grade, medium-density urethane foam. This substance contains no plastics and an open cell structure. Hospitals particularly favor this type of egg crate mattress pad for spinal injury patients.

An egg crate mattress pad can be placed on top of any type of mattress, except memory foam. They typically have one-pound density and are without a warranty.
