Direct answer

  1. Choose 8cm when you want a clearer cushioning change than 5cm.
  2. Use a deep fitted sheet that covers mattress plus topper.
  3. Air the topper after unboxing.
  4. Reassess after several nights before deciding on a full mattress swap.

Topper vs replace

Secure the topper with a deep sheet so it does not migrate overnight.

FAQ

Will a topper fix sagging springs?

No — toppers add comfort, they do not repair a failed support core.

Hot sleeper tip?

Cool gel helps some sleepers; keep bedding breathable as well.
