Features you should know about the Silentnight Wellbeing Cool Touch mattress topper
Now let's take a closer look at the features this mattress topper brings to the table. By dissecting them one by one, you will be able to clearly see what makes this mattress topper such a popular choice.
Coolmax outer fabric and fill
Coolmax is without a doubt the main selling point for this mattress. Its entire design philosophy focuses heavily on getting you a cool night's sleep. The Coolmax outer fabric is very breathable, allowing air to circulate through the topper while leaving you nice and cool.
This topper also features a unique and innovative memory foam core that absorbs body heat as you sleep and sends it on its way through the many carefully crafted channels. The topper even features mesh sides, further adding to the feeling of ultimate cool comfort.
This is also where the name of the topper comes from, as the topper won't keep any excess body heat, staying cool to the touch. Overall, a must-have if you tend to overheat during the night and are desperately craving a blissfully cool night's sleep.
Moisture wicking properties
Besides just the exceptional breathability, the moisture wicking properties of Coolmax are another major benefit of this topper. It's crafted in a way where excess moisture won't sink into the topper and stick to your skin but rather disperse, leaving you cool and comfortable.
These signature moisture wicking properties, when combined with the excellent breathability the topper offers, make the Silentnight cool touch topper the ideal choice for anyone with overheating issues.
Full body zonal support
One of the most common issues people have with memory foam mattress toppers is the lack of support. After all, memory foam, while it's comfortable, isn't firm enough to give your body the support it needs.
But that's where the Silentnight cool touch topper comes in. With varied foam density used throughout the topper, you get the best of both worlds. The softer, responsive memory foam used on both sides of the mattress, makes it so that your head can sink right in as if you were sleeping on a cloud.
However, the firmer foam in the middle gives ample support to your hips, ensuring they don't dip into it. It was designed specifically with the purpose of being as comfortable as possible while also allowing for maximum support.

And with it also offering ample support, your chances of getting a restful night's sleep are at an all-time high. However, it also comes with some faults typically associated with foam toppers.

What we like about the Silentnight Wellbeing Cool Touch mattress topper
- The topper offers exceptional breathability, keeping things cool and preventing overheating
- The varied foam density makes it so that you can enjoy both the comfort and the support you might need while asleep
- Having a zipped cover means that keeping the topper clean is rather easy.
What we didn’t like about the Silentnight Wellbeing Cool Touch mattress topper
- Just like with all memory foam mattress toppers, slight off-gassing is likely to happen upon first taking the mattress out
- With just a two year guarantee, you'll probably go through multiple toppers while with the same mattress
- There are no straps on the topper, making it difficult to keep it secure on the mattress. It does not help that there is no grip on the base of the topper.
The common problems with the Silentnight Wellbeing Cool Touch mattress topper
Most of the issues you'll face with this mattress will come about in the first few days. Namely, the topper will seem smaller than advertised and it might give off an unpleasant smell. The solution, while a bit annoying, is quite simple – just take the topper out and leave it be. It can take up to three days for the topper to fully expand and any lingering odours should be gone by that time as well.

What makes this product better than some other similar ones?
The area where this topper excels among its peers is temperature regulation. Very few other toppers can promise “the ultimate cooling comfort” or “long lasting freshness” and actually live up to the tagline. But with the Coolmax fabric being as breathable as it is, and with intricate channels and side mesh channels, the Silentnight Wellbeing Cool Touch mattress topper truly excels.
How did we test the product?
For the sake of transparency, we'd now like to go over exactly how our tests are done. On a general level, all of the products we review go through the following procedures:
- Visual inspection
- Hands-on inspection
- Measured tests.
And if we're being more specific, here are the test done in order to evaluate the Wellbeing topper:
- Look at the aesthetic of the product
- Find the key features and see how well they work
- Trial sleeping position
- Spend time lying on each mattress topper
Is the Silentnight Wellbeing Cool Touch mattress topper eco-friendly or sustainable?
As a brand, Silentnight has done its due diligence to be as green as possible. With multiple green initiatives and even an eco-friendly mattress line, sustainability seems to be an essential driving force for the company. That being said, the Wellbeing collection doesn't seem to be part of that initiative.
- Planning to be carbon neutral by 2040
- Repurpose waste instead of dropping it at a landfill
- Have won the sustainability award two years running
- The topper itself isn't biodegradable
While this particular topper might not be too eco-friendly, the brand itself is doing its best.
Overall impressions of the product after the testing
Overall, through our testing, this topper came out very strong. We had no issues with overheating, the firmer foam in the middle offered good support for the hip joint, and the topper really was cool to the touch. When testing, we found that the topper moulds to your body and quickly returns to the original shape – perfect for combination sleepers. We would suggest that this mattress topper is more suitable for light sleepers as it is not as firm as other options. There were the usual downfalls that come with most, if not all, memory foam mattress toppers, but it wasn't a deal breaker. So, Silentnight's innovative design paid off. It would have been better if there were elasticated straps because it is more likely to move in the night without them. All in all, a good mattress topper for those wanting additional comfort and support.
