Topper Storage Tips
- Toppers can be folded/ rolled for more efficient storage
- We recommend a Z fold for storage which is more suitable for preserving the internal construction of the Toppers
- Due to their stretchy nature, Toppers with either ActiveCool or Cool Touch covers can be folded/ rolled with the covers still on
- Toppers with other fabric covers should have their cover removed before being folded/ rolled to reduce risk of damaging or stretching the material
- If storing for long periods, like over the winter, we recommend that the Topper is stored flat
