Should a mattress topper be bigger than my mattress?

No, a topper that is too big can move around and be uncomfortable. You don't want your topper to be wriggling around beneath you as you try to sleep!

 

Should a mattress topper be smaller than my mattress?

Ideally, a mattress topper should the same size as your mattress. If your topper is too small for your mattress, you risk damaging the topper by stretching it.
