Sleepyhead’s Super Topper Is Redefining Comfort For College Dorms
Steven Van Alen’s mattress toppers are high-tech sleep enhancers.
Mattress toppers have evolved significantly from the basic egg crate designs of the past to today’s premium products, reflecting advancements in materials and technology aimed at enhancing sleep quality. Initially, egg crate toppers were lauded for their affordability and basic cushioning, but they often lacked durability and sophisticated support. Over the years, innovations in foam technology, such as memory foam and latex, introduced toppers that offered superior contouring and pressure relief. Modern toppers now incorporate gel and copper infusions for temperature regulation, hypoallergenic covers for hygiene, and multi-layer constructions that cater to various sleep preferences.
Brands like Sleepyhead have pushed the boundaries further by focusing on student needs, creating products that blend comfort with affordability and durability, thus transforming mattress toppers into essential sleep accessories for a wide range of consumers.
The Super Topper: The Pinnacle of Comfort and Innovation
Sleepyhead’s trademarked Super Topper is made with 50% gel and 50% copper-infused memory foam, offering a unique blend of temperature regulation and hygiene benefits
This blend offers the best of Sleepyhead’s gel- and copper-infused mattress toppers, respectively, with the 3-inch topper providing a medium-soft feel and the 2-inch topper offering a medium-firm sleep experience.
Gel Infusion for Temperature Regulation
On one hand, the Sleepyhead gel-infused memory foam utilizes advanced technology to absorb and dissipate body heat, ensuring a cool and comfortable sleep temperature throughout the night. This cooling technology is crucial for students living in often poorly ventilated dorms, ensuring they remain comfortable throughout the night.
Copper Infusion for Hygiene and Wellness
On the other hand, the Sleepyhead copper-infused foam promotes even heat distribution across the topper. The copper element has antimicrobial properties that maintain a cleaner sleep environment by naturally blocking and killing bacteria, making it an ideal choice for students with active lifestyles and questionable hygienic routines.
Cool Tech 2.0 Washable Cooling Cover
The updated Cool Tech 2.0 cover provides a cooling sensation to the touch and is highly breathable. The washable cover features a convenient zipper for easy removal and maintenance, making it easy for students to clean without a hassle while the anti-slip bottom and straps secure it to the dorm bed.
“College life can be hectic, and maintaining a clean living space is often challenging. Our washable covers address this issue, providing a practical solution that extends the lifespan of the topper,” says Steven Van Alen, founder of Sleepyhead.
Durability and Quality Control: Made in the USA
Sleepyhead’s Super Topper memory foam is made in the USA, ensuring premium quality and craftsmanship. Although the covers are sourced internationally due to the lack of domestic fabric mills, all other manufacturing processes are done domestically, supporting local manufacturing jobs.
“By producing our Super Topper memory foam domestically, we can closely monitor the quality of our products and contribute to the local economy. This is an essential part of our brand ethos,” Van Alen emphasizes.
To this point, the Sleepyhead toppers meet CA & U.S. flammability standards and are CertiPUR-US certified. Furthermore, the cover is OEKO-TEX certified, ensuring the entire product meets high safety and environmental standards.
Student-Centric Design and Affordability
Engineered with student life in mind, Sleepyhead’s toppers come rolled and compressed and are lightweight and easy to move, ideal for students frequently changing rooms or moving between semesters. Each topper also includes an anti-slip bottom and straps for secure attachment to the mattress, ensuring it stays in place after putting it back on. With seven sizes, including options specifically designed for Twin XL dorm beds, the Super Topper is a seamless addition to any college setup.
“Our goal is to make high quality sleep accessible to students. We strive to balance affordability with top-notch quality to meet the needs of our customers,” Van Alen explains.
Reinforcing this commitment, Van Alen and the team offer a sleep trial and a “Good-till-graduation” (5-year) warranty.
Customer Satisfaction and Testimonials
Sleepyhead’s commitment to quality and customer satisfaction is reflected in numerous 5-star ratings and positive testimonials on their website and Amazon. Many students have praised the toppers for significantly improving their sleep quality and overall dorm experience. For instance, one reviewer noted, “The Super Topper has transformed my uncomfortable dorm bed into a cozy sanctuary. I wake up feeling refreshed and ready for the day.” Another student shared, “I was skeptical at first, but the copper and gel infusion truly makes a difference in temperature regulation and comfort. Plus, the anti-slip bottom ensures it stays in place all night.” Testimonials like these speak for themselves, highlighting Sleepyhead’s positive impact on student life and commitment to providing high-quality, affordable sleep solutions.
With products like the Super Topper, Sleepyhead continues to set the standard for college dorm comfort, ensuring that students can enjoy a restful and rejuvenating sleep environment — regardless of how many hours they are actually sleeping.
