Novaform Mattress Topper Review

Novaform Mattress Topper Review Breakdown

The Novaform EVENcor GelPlus Mattress Topper is a competitively priced topper made with 3 inches of contouring memory foam. Gel infusions in the memory foam are designed to move heat away from the body for a cooler sleep.

With a medium firmness, the topper offers adequate support for most side and back sleepers. Memory foam also resists motion transfer, so those who sleep with a partner are less likely to be woken up by their partner’s movements at night.

In addition to our in-depth examination of the Novaform EVENcor GelPlus Mattress Topper, we’ll also include a brief comparison with Novaform’s other toppers.

Materials and Construction

The Novaform EVENcor GelPlus Mattress Topper is sold in two parts: a foam topper, and a removable cover designed to fit the topper plus the mattress.

Consisting entirely of gel memory foam, the topper is 3 inches thick and rates a 5 out of 10, or medium, on the firmness scale. The memory foam cushions the body, providing effective pressure relief for side and back sleepers under 230 pounds. Novaform has included gel infusions engineered to reduce the heat retention that can sometimes occur with memory foam.

The topper comes with a polyester cover designed to feel cooler in the middle third. The cover can fit a mattress up to 20 inches thick. Novaform offers its toppers in most of the standard mattress sizes, although some models are not available in twin XL size.

Pricing Information

As with all the Novaform toppers, the Novaform EVENcor GelPlus Mattress Topper has an entry-level price-point.

Memory foam toppers are often inexpensive compared to those made from costlier materials such as latex. Shoppers often pay more for added features such as gel infusions, but the Novaform mattress toppers still fall on the lower end of the average price range. The removable cover helps protect the topper and may save shoppers the cost of purchasing a fitted sheet.

Mattress Topper Performance Ratings

For many sleepers, a topper represents the ideal way to customize the feel of their bed without investing in a new mattress. Although the topper is only one part of the mattress setup, it still plays a leading role in the overall performance of the bed. Just as when shopping for a mattress, it’s important to consider not only the initial feel of the topper, but also how it performs on factors like motion isolation, temperature control, and durability.

The Novaform EVENcor GelPlus Mattress Topper rates average to above-average in most performance categories. It conforms closely to the body, providing strong pressure relief. The memory foam helps to isolate motion, and the gel infusions contribute to temperature regulation. The mattress topper performs less well for sex, as it has little to no bounce. Shoppers can expect the topper to have an average lifespan.

Off-Gassing and Odor Potential

It’s common for memory foam products to produce off-gassing smells when they are first unboxed. Off-gassing is due to the release of volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, that are produced during the manufacturing process. These VOCs are considered mostly harmless, and they usually dissipate within a few days.

Mattress toppers made with natural ingredients instead of memory foam are less likely to off-gas. Latex mattress toppers, for example, don’t release VOCs, although they may release other odors associated with their construction.

Sleepers are likely to notice some off-gassing after unboxing the Novaform EVENcor GelPlus Mattress Topper. If you keep it in a well-ventilated area, this odor should dissipate within a few days.

Cleaning and Care

To extend the life of your mattress topper and keep out allergens and mold, it’s important to clean the topper regularly. Certain stains may affect the integrity of your topper, and will almost definitely void your warranty.

Most toppers should only be spot cleaned, although some mattress toppers come with a removable cover that can be washed in a household machine. Consult the manufacturer’s care instructions for the best way to wash your mattress topper and/or cover.

The Novaform EVENcor GelPlus Mattress Topper comes with a removable and washable cover. Consider washing the topper cover as often as you wash your bedsheets, especially if you don’t use a fitted sheet on top.

Sleeping Style and Body Weight

Side Sleepers

The Novaform EVENcor GelPlus Mattress Topper performs well for side sleepers. Because it closely conforms to the body, it cushions the hips and shoulders, which tend to suffer from pressure buildup in this position.

Side sleepers under 230 pounds receive excellent support from the Novaform EVENcor GelPlus Mattress Topper. Side sleepers over 230 pounds may need a slightly firmer mattress topper to keep the spine on an even plane.

Back Sleepers

The Novaform EVENcor GelPlus Mattress Topper is particularly suitable for back sleepers under 130 pounds. In general, back sleepers sleep best on a medium firm surface. A bed that’s too firm or too soft can cause the lumbar spine to come out of alignment, potentially causing lower back pain.

For back sleepers under 130 pounds, the Novaform EVENcor GelPlus Mattress Topper offers moderate contouring and ideal lumbar support. Back sleepers over 130 pounds also receive adequate support from the topper, but some sleepers in this group may prefer a firmer topper to better support the spine.

Stomach Sleepers

Stomach sleepers may find the Novaform EVENcor GelPlus Mattress Topper a little too soft. Sleepers in this position need a firmer sleep surface to support the midsection. A mattress that is too plush can allow the abdomen to sag, which can pull the spine  out of alignment. This can lead to pain and stiffness.

Stomach sleepers under 230 pounds don’t sink as far into the mattress, and these sleepers receive decent support from The Novaform EVENcor GelPlus Mattress Topper. Those over 230 pounds should look for a firmer mattress topper.
