What's In This Buying Guide?
Who Are Novaform Mattress Toppers Ideal For?
Novaform mattresses are great for anyone looking for a comfortable memory foam topper. Here are sleeper recommendations for each Novaform mattress topper.
EVENcor Gel Plus: Best for Hot Sleepers
The Novaform EVENcor GelPlus topper uses gel memory foam and a cooling cover to help hot sleepers sleep more comfortably.
ComfortLuxe: Best for Side Sleepers
The 3″ thick ComfortLuxe topper uses plush memory foam to provide superior pressure point relief for side sleepers.
It's also great for side sleepers with shoulder or hip pain.
Plush Pillowtop 4”: Best Luxury
The Plush Pillowtop 4” mattress topper is the best choice if you are looking for a luxurious upgrade to your bed.
Two layers – a 2” plush pillow top and a 2” memory foam support layer – combine to provide a plush feel with plenty of support.
The Plush Pillowtop is especially suitable for side sleepers and heavier folks who need deeper body contouring.
SoFresh: Best Value
Shopping on a budget? The SoFresh is the lowest-priced Novaform mattress topper.
It is one the softer side in terms of feel and comfort, so we recommend it for side sleepers and anyone looking to soften a too-firm mattress.
LURAcor ComfortPlus: Best for People With Back Pain
The LURAcor's firmer feel provides great support for people with back pain. The topper is still soft enough to cushion any sensitive/painful areas.
Overnight Recovery: Best for Athletes
The Overnight Recovery topper uses the same ‘firmer feel' foam as the LURAcor topper. This provides the kind of support and spinal alignment athletes, and active folks need.
The Celiant cover recharges your body as you sleep and helps with muscle recovery.

1. Novaform 3″ EVENcor GelPlus Gel Memory Foam Mattress Topper with Cooling Cover
The Novaform EVENcor GelPlus topper is our top recommendation for folks who sleep hot. The combination of gel memory foam and a cooling cover reduces nighttime heat and sweating.
Pros
- Sleeps cool.
- Excellent pressure point relief.
- Helps with night sweats.
- Removable and washable cover.
Cons
- Pricey.
Our Review
We normally don't recommend memory foam toppers for hot sleepers. A latex topper is the best for cooling.
But if you like pressure relief and body-hugging support of memory foam, look for a gel memory foam topper. Gel memory foam sleeps cooler than ordinary memory foam.
The EVENcor GelPlus topper doesn't just rely on gel memory foam to keep you cool. It also comes with a special cooling cover that further improves the topper's cooling performance.
The cover incorporates zoned cooling technology at the center, which is where you need most cooling. The cool and breathable cover also helps with night sweats.
The EVENcor GelPlus topper is 3″ thick and has a medium feel. It is ideal for mattresses that feel uncomfortably firm.
Issues & Limitations
The main issue with the Novaform EVENcor GelPlus topper is the price. It costs more than most memory foam toppers.
If you are looking for a budget topper, consider one of the other Novaform toppers.
Bottom Line
While pricey, the EVENcor GelPlus topper outdoes ordinary memory foam toppers when it comes to a cool night's sleep.
2. Novaform LURAcor ComfortPlus Foam Mattress Topper
One of the biggest problems with sleeping on a too-soft mattress is back pain. If your mattress is causing or worsening your back problems, we recommend the Novaform LURAcor Support topper.
It improves lumbar support, keeps your spine naturally aligned and cushions any aching areas.
The LURAcor topper can also help if your mattress feels too firm. It softens it without making it overly plush.
Pros
- It helps with back pain.
- Firms up a too-soft mattress. It's also great for overly firm mattresses.
- Relieves pressure on back and shoulders.
- 5 Technology provides year-round temperature and moisture regulation.
Cons
- Lacks the close body hug of memory foam – not ideal for those who need extra pressure relief.
Our Review
If your main problem is that your mattress is too soft, causing your spine to bend and resulting in back pain, the LURAcor Support foam topper will help.
It's made with LURAcor, a type of polyfoam that provides better support than memory foam. It ensures your spine stays naturally aligned, especially if you sleep on your back or stomach.
But the LURAcor topper is not too firm to the point where you wake up sore. Even though it doesn't have the same soft body-conforming feel of memory foam, it still provides enough softness to alleviate pressure points.
If you sleep hot, you'll love sleeping on the LURAcor topper. Since it doesn't contain any memory foam, it retains less heat compared to memory foam toppers.
The LURAcor topper also incorporates 37.5 Technology in the cover, which helps with temperature and moisture regulation.
Active particles in the cover fabric eliminate sweat before it drenches your skin and clothes. This is a big help for people with night sweats and hot flushes.
As they remove sweat, the particles also cool you down. And when it's cold, the particles capture to keep you warm.
So the LURAcor topper is not ideal for hot sleepers and people with night sweats; it can also help if you get cold in bed.
Learn more about 37.5 on the company's official website.
Issues & Limitations
If you are looking for a mattress topper with deep pressure relief, the LURAcor topper is not it. It doesn't contain memory foam, so it'll not conform as closely to your body as Novaform's memory foam toppers.
Most side sleepers, especially those with hip or shoulder pain, may not find the LURAcor topper very comfortable.
Bottom Line
If you are considering buying a new mattress because of your back pain, give the Novaform LURAcor topper a try first. It works great on soft mattresses that don't offer enough support and firm mattresses that put pressure on the spine.
3. Novaform ComfortLuxe Gel Memory Foam Mattress Topper
The ComfortLuxe is our top recommendation for side sleepers. It provides the best pressure point relief, which prevents soreness and pain on the shoulders and hips.
Use the ComfortLuxe topper to soften an overly firm mattress.
Pros
- Excellent pressure point relief – ideal for side sleepers.
- Gel memory foam helps with cooling.
- Cool and breathable cotton cover.
- Cover can fit mattresses up to 20″ thick.
Cons
- Not ideal for hot sleepers.
Our Review
Side sleepers need more pressure point relief than back and stomach sleepers. A too-firm mattress can cause pain and soreness on the shoulder and hips, and can sometimes result in back pain.
The 3″ Novaform ComfortLuxe topper contours around the side of your body to cushion your shoulder and hip.
The topper has a soft and plush feel that provides instant pressure relief.
While we think the EVENcor GelPlus topper is the best choice for hot sleepers, the ComfortLuxe topper also sleeps fairly cool for most people.
Gel-infused into the topper draws heat away from your body to help you sleep cool.
The 100% cotton copper also helps with cooling and night sweats.
By the way, the cover stretches under the mattress to secure the topper and keep it from shifting. The cover can fit mattresses as thick as 20″. So don't worry if you have an extra-tall or a top pillow mattress.
Issues & Limitations
The ComfortLuxe topper has gel memory foam, and it's great for most people. But if you sleep extra-hot, it may not be enough to keep you cool.
For hot sleepers, our top recommendation is the EVENcor GelPlus topper. It combines gel memory foam with a special cooling fabric cover.
The LURAcor topper is also a good choice for hot sleepers though it doesn't have the soft hug of ComfortLuxe, thus may not be suitable for a side sleeper.
Bottom Line
For side sleepers who need that extra plushness under their shoulders and hips, the Novaform ComfortLuxe topper is an excellent choice.
4. Novaform Overnight Recovery™ 3″ Foam Mattress Topper
The Novaform Overnight Recovery topper is called so because of the Celliant cover that helps your body recover while you sleep.
Celliant technology improves sleep quality and quickens muscle recovery, which ensures you wake up fresh and energized.
While Overnight Recovery is beneficial for anyone, it's especially great for athletes and active folks who regularly put their muscles through the wringer.
Pros
- Improves recovery and sleep quality.
- Supportive LURAcor foam.
- Relieves pressure points
- Removable and washable cover.
Cons
- Lacks the body-conforming feel of memory foam.
- Not ideal for side sleepers.
Our Review
Celliant technology has been around for some time now and is used in a wide range of products, including bedding, sportswear, and clothing. You can learn how it works on the official website.
But in a nutshell, fabrics with Celliant technology contain natural minerals and trace elements that absorb the body's heat and give it off as infrared energy that's directed back to your body.
This does two things. One, it helps you sleep cool as the minerals absorb heat.
Two, and this is the big one; it increases blood circulation. Improved blood circulation has all sorts of knock-on benefits, one of the biggest being faster recovery.
As blood circulates faster, it delivers oxygen to muscle cells quicker and more efficiently. This allows tired and torn muscles to repair quickly.
The improved recovery is a big plus for athletes and anyone who has an active lifestyle.
It also improves sleep quality, for anyone, not just athletes. You'll wake up feeling better rested and more energized.
Underneath the Celliant cover is a 3″ foam topper. The Overnight Recovery topper doesn't contain memory foam. Instead, it uses LURAcor foam (a type of polyfoam). It provides great support and pressure relief, especially for back sleepers and heavier side sleepers.
Issues & Limitations
If you love the feel of memory foam, you probably won't like the Overnight Recovery topper. It uses foam but not memory foam.
While it strikes the sweet spot between a firm and soft, it doesn't have the close body hug of memory foam.
We wish Novaform offered a memory foam topper with the Celliant topper for those who want a plusher memory foam feel.
Bottom Line
Whether you are an athlete or not, the Novaform Overnight Recovery mattress topper will help you sleep better and wake up refreshed.
5. Novaform Plush Pillowtop 4” Mattress Topper
The Novaform Plush Pillowtop mattress topper is the best choice if you want to feel like you are sleeping on a cloud.
The 4 inch topper is perfect for refreshing an old and firm mattress.
Pros
- Luxury sleeping experience.
- Excellent pressure relief for side sleepers.
- Good support.
- Gel memory foam helps with cooling.
Cons
- Not suitable for most back and stomach sleepers.
- Not ideal for extra hot sleepers.
Our Review
The Plush Pillowtop is the thickest memory foam mattress topper Novaform sells, making it also the plushest.
If you want to sink in your bed and enjoy a deep plush hug, go with the Novaform Plush Pillowtop topper.
It consists of two layers: a pillow top layer and a gel memory foam layer.
Novaform does not specify what’s in the pillow top, but it’s likely microfiber. All we know is that it’s soft and luxurious.
The gel memory foam layer underneath balances the soft pillow top with a firmer, more responsive feel. This ensures that you don't completely bottom out.
The Novaform Plush Pillowtop is perfect for softening a too-firm mattress. We recommend it only for side sleepers, as they are the only group of sleepers who need deep contouring.
Like other Novaform toppers, the Plush Pillowtop topper comes with a machine washable cover with a stretchy skirt that fits mattresses up to 20” tall.
Issues & Limitations
If you mostly sleep on your back or stomach, the Novaform Plush Pillowtop topper is probably not the right one for you.
It’s too soft to offer adequate support. Pick the Overnight Recovery or LURAcor ComfortPlus topper instead. You can also pick a suitable topper from our reviews of the best firm mattress toppers.
We also don't recommend Novaform Plush Pillowtop topper for very hot sleepers or those who get night sweats. Because it hugs your body more closely, it tends to trap more heat. The pillow top layer can also make you a bit too warm.
For extra hot side sleepers, we recommend the ComfortLuxe topper. It offers soft pressure relief while staying cool.
Alternatively, get a latex mattress topper from another brand like Pure Green or PlushBeds. Wool toppers are also great for hot sleepers.
Bottom Line
If memory foam on its own is not luxurious enough for you, we think the Novaform Plush Pillowtop is what you are looking for. It combines the plushness of a pillow top cover and memory foam.
6. Novaform SoFresh Gel Memory Foam Topper
If you are shopping on a budget, the Novaform SoFresh gel memory foam topper is the most affordable option.
Pros
- Good value for money.
- Medium comfort feels that offers good pressure relief.
- Anti-bacterial cover.
- Sleeps cool.
Cons
- Inadequate support for some sleepers.
Our Review
The Novaform SoFresh mattress topper is made with gel memory foam. It has a medium feel that’s perfect for those looking to soften their firm mattress.
The 3” SoFresh topper is especially ideal for side sleepers and some back sleepers.
The Novaform SoFresh comes with a cover, but it’s different from the covers on other Novaform mattress toppers.
The SoFresh topper cover is infused with charcoal. Charcoal has antibacterial properties, which helps keep the topper hygienic and fresh.
Charcoal is also great at absorbing bad odors and absorbing moisture, two things that further help with freshness and hygiene.
Issues & Limitations
The Novaform SoFresh memory foam topper is a tad too soft for some sleepers, particularly stomach sleepers and heavier sleepers.
If you need a topper with more support, try the EVENcor Gel Plus or the LURAcor ComfortPlus mattress topper.
Bottom Line
If you are obsessed with keeping your bed clean and fresh-smelling, you’ll love the Novaform SoFresh topper.
It’s also easy on your pocket.
