Latex Mattress Topper
So what are some of the advantages of using a latex foam topper instead of a memory foam topper? Well if you are waking up experiencing headaches, sluggishness, or even vomiting it is very possible that it could be her mattress.
The problem with most known non latex mattress toppers are being made today are that they are using a variety of petroleum base chemicals, phones, plastics and flame retardants. Just do a little research and you’ll see that people can in fact become ill by the repeated exposure to low-level vocals that are continuously emitted during the sleep process.
What really magnifies the problem of being exposed to these chemicals, is the fact that you’re so close to. Think about where your faces while you’re sleeping, it’s right on the bed or the pillow that you use. This direct contact can mean that the concentration of the chemicals are many times higher than if the source of the chemicals were from a further distance.
There is information now available showing that the chemicals used in bed manufacturing are in fact releasing into the air while you sleep. One Google term that will help you find this is called outgassing. Common petroleum-based chemicals have shown to have the ability to damage and weaken the immune system and nervous system.
Many people say the smell that you smell when you first get your memory foam pillow, or just open your foam mattress topper is the aroma of Chinese manufacturing with no environmental restrictions.
On the opposite end of the spectrum from all these problems now known to occur from your average bedding material is latex bedding. Latex foam mattresses are environmentally friendly and will not break the bank. Latex mattress topper’s are known to feel almost as good as your ordinary disco foam or memory foam mattresses without the possible side effects of getting sick from any petroleum-based chemicals used to make memory foam.

Visco Foam
Memory foam mattress topper’s are made from a viscoelastic foam. This foam was developed by NASA to absorb all the forces that an astronaut would experience during blastoff. If it works that well in a spaceship imagine how dramatically it could reduce the pressure in your bed.
Viscoelastic foam is temperature sensitive, it is an open cell foam that continuously molds and adjust the shape of your body, therefore giving you reduced pressure points, and relieving your body of stress and strain.
Visco Foam is constantly and continuously redistributing your body weight what this does is alleviate pressure points that can cause your muscles and joints discomfort, and return causes you to toss and turn at night.
Visco foam is a temperature responsive material that is made to duplicate the fill of cushioning that is extremely soft yet firm at the same time offering the support and protection of a stiffer material, unlike ordinary foam. Being temperature responsive allows memory foam to soften with the sustained pressure and warmth of your body gives off while you lay on, and in return the Visco foam conforms to your body.
Even with your body weight shifting during the night, Visco foam has the ability to constantly readjust itself, this style of behavior completely contrasts that of an ordinary foam. Ordinary foams push back the hardest when the displacement is the greatest, Visco foam does the exact opposite therefore causing less pressure points, providing long-term balance in all true comfortable support.

A 2 inch mattress topper is the norm for the majority of people buying toppers out there.

A 3 inch memory foam topper is usually used on the account that you are a heavier set individual. As in heavyset I’m thinking 170 pounds as a woman, or 200 pounds and up if you are a man.

Do your research and ask around. You can even go to your local mattress store and they’ll let you try out as many as you want for free, spend all day on earth you want. I’ll even go in and take a short 15 to 20 minute nap before purchasing one. Remember you spend most of your time in your shoes and on your bed, so why not take the time to do the research and find out the mattress topper that will make you the happiest, in terms of aches and pains and just an overall good nights sleep.

Memory Mattress Topper
So you find your self tossing and turning, and getting a horrible night’s sleep. Is it time for a new mattress? Or is it just time to get a memory mattress topper? Most Memory foam mattress topper’s are made from a viscoelastic foam.
What is unique about memory foam is the actual makeup of it. A memory mattress topper is made from an open cell foam, which means that these cells of the foam have holes all through them. What this does is allow the memory foam two reduce pressure points on your body while you’re sleeping, in a way that no other mattress topper can do.
A normal foam mattress topper, wants to compress immediately, when weight is applied to it. Then as soon as the weight is released it wants to spring back to it’s normal form. Memory foam on the other hand actually takes time to compress completely, and when weight is taken off the memory foam that does not spring back to its original shape immediately. This gives memory foam the unique ability to conform to your body shape, drastically cutting down on the amount of time you spent tossing and turning in bed.
In addition to being an open cell foam, a memory mattress topper is temperature sensitive as well. As your body temperatures heat up the memory foam, you will fill your body sink into it almost like a melting effect. This heating effect accounts for the truly custom molding effect that you feel as you sleep on your memory mattress topper.
