There are basically two main kinds of foam toppers namely latex foam toppers and memory foam toppers. Let us take each one by one.
Latex foam toppers: Latex mattress toppers are easily available in the market. Made from the sap of rubber tree, these latex-based toppers are very well able to resist dust particles. Latex foam toppers are therefore good for allergic as well as asthma patients.
Memory foam toppers: These foam toppers are widely acclaimed for their ability to conform to your body shape and this is its unique feature. No other mattress material has this ability. In addition to it, these mattresses have a high density that provides greater comfort to the sleeper. These mattress toppers are also temperature sensitive like latex foam topper. In addition to it, these toppers spread the pressure evenly thereby alleviating various forms of pains. Memory foam Toppers are dust mite resistant so are also ideal for allergy sufferers
Options are plenty but to decide as to which one is the best is difficult to say. It differs from person to person from family to family depending on their personal requirements. Some like to sleep on firm mattresses while others have a liking for soft ones. Even budget is an important criteria. People who sleep on their stomach or back will require a firm mattress topper and people sleeping on their sides get comfort on softer mattresses. Every person has a different sleeping habit so accordingly one should make the choice of mattress topper.

Memory Foam Vs Latex
Mattresses are needed for a good and sound sleeping. Mattresses these days have two common fillings that are memory foam and latex. Both these are organic constituents and have different features and qualities. The main points that buyers see are comfort, durability, cost and material used. All manufacturers claim their products to be anti allergic, stain free, machine washable and anti odor so the basic difference comes in the level of comfort and price. Memory foam is made of visco elastic polyurethane foam. Due to its high viscosity, this material is soft during hot and humid conditions and it is firm during winters when temperature is cool. Foam as we know is a colloid with two different media. The two medium are gas and solid or gas and liquid. Gas entrapped in solid makes solid foams like polyurethane foam and Styrofoam. These foams have low density and therefore act as floatation systems and thermal insulators. Their lightness, weightlessness and compressibility make them excellent fillers for packing and stuffing. Gas entrapped in liquid makes liquid foam like fir retardant foams. There are different types of foams like spray foam, memory foam, fire fighting foam, rubber foam.
Memory foam was initially developed by NASA for astronauts to decrease the extreme high pressure caused by the gravitational force during the take off of the space shuttle. It was later discarded for the use of astronauts but was eventually found to be a boon for medical patients suffering from orthopedic and other bone problems. Especially for patients who are bed bound after paralysis attack or after an accident. It helps to reduce the pressure exerted continuously on bones their by reducing occurrence of sores and gangrene. The body conforming property of memory foam has made it to be a good choice for manufacturers today. Different types of memory foam products are available in the market depending upon the density like low density and high density. Latex is also a type of colloidal substance. It is an emulsion of polymer in aqueous medium. Latex is naturally found in different colors in milky sap of plants. Synthetic latex is a stable dispersion produced by emulsification of polymers with surfactants.
Memory foam and latex both aim to replace the traditional inner spring mattress and provide a comfortable, relaxing, sound, healthy and medically fit sleep. Different people have different needs and the bedding should be selected accordingly. It is advised to take a mattress that suits your needs for vibrant sleep and is cost effective (Memory Foam Mattress Buying Guide).
