Memory foam and latex tend to do better in regard to preventing / relieving back and joint pain. Wool's ability to improve mattress support is generally inferior to that of memory foam and latex. Wool toppers generally have above average durability / longevity, but they will likely lose resiliency over time.

Unlike memory foam, wool does not help to keep movement of one person from disturbing another person on the bed.

Wool is silent when compressed or moved on. Easy to move, lift, handle Wool toppers tend to weigh 4-12 pounds depending mostly on size – making them lighter than most other topper types. The softness provided by the topper can allow sex to be more comfortable without lessening bounce or ease of movement. About 5% of owners report an initial smell – often "barnyard" in nature – but it is usually not severe or long lasting. In addition to keeping you warm in winter, wool absorbs moisture to help keep you cooler in summer. As a result, wool toppers often provide at least some relief for hot sleepers. Nevertheless, about 4% of owners report significant unwanted heat retention. Proper fit / secure Like mattress toppers in general, wool toppers may not fit properly to the dimensions of the mattress. And they may not stay fully secure. A wool topper-pad usually has a clean and even appearance, but compression can leave a slightly sagged appearance to the bed.
Occasional to regular shaking / fluffing may be needed to maintain loft and comfort especially for thicker wool toppers. They are often machine washable, otherwise spot cleanable.

Wool mattress toppers accommodate changing body temperature by helping you to keep warm in the winter and cool in the summer. During the cold months, air pockets between the fibers of the wool topper hold body heat resulting in a more consistent body temperature.
During the warm months, the hollow fibers of wool allow the topper to wick moisture which helps to keep your skin dry, not damp and clammy. Consequently, your sleep surface stays cool even if there is high humidity. This dry sleep surface discourages the growth of mold and mildew, which can benefit people with allergies.

Our latex mattress toppers are not only natural… they are extremely comfortable! They are also more durable and stay cooler than any other types of foam toppers. Our latex mattress toppers provide perfect pinpointed support. Latex foam gives but also provides contoured support. It reacts instantly to every body movement to ensure comfortable and uninterrupted sleep. Pure Green latex foam is made through the energy efficient Dunlop process. Dunlop process latex foam is springy and reactive but not “bouncy” like Talalay process foam. We produce our latex foam through the Dunlop process because we believe that dunlop process latex foam works better for more people. Pure Green latex mattress toppers are extremely durable and often last longer than the mattress they used on top of. Latex foam is the most durable type of foam used in the mattress industry. We routinely speak to customers who have had latex mattresses and mattress toppers for 20 years or more. Tests have shown that latex mattresses and mattress toppers lose very little thickness and firmness over the life of the product.
Pure Green latex foam scored a 99/100 on the internationally recognized LGA physical properties test for exhibiting extraordinary performance and durability. Pure Green latex mattress toppers are heat neutral. Latex foam contains millions of microscopic air chambers which allow air to flow through the foam. Because of this, latex foam remains heat neutral and will not absorb body heat. We have many customers who buy latex mattress toppers to cool down their mattresses. Unlike memory foam, the firmness of latex foam will not change depending on the temperature. 20 ILD - 4 lbs/cubic ft - The ideal topper if you want to make your mattress softer. This is our most popular product! Natural latex foam is always springy and supportive, so even with the soft option, you won't feel like you're sinking through the mattress topper. This firmness is perfect for side sleepers who are trying to alleviate hip or shoulder pain. 30 ILD - 5 lbs/cubic ft - Great if you want to add pinpointed support to an old mattress without significantly changing the firmness.
The medium is the most popular firmness for back sleepers. It also works great for couples seeking a compromise between firm and soft. Our medium toppers are a popular choice as layers in DIY mattress configurations. 44 ILD - 5.9 lbs/cubic ft - Perfect if you prefer sleeping on firm mattress. While our firm foam is extremely strong and supportive, it is not rigid or stiff. We get many customers who use this firmness to firm up a mattress that is too soft (at least 2" and preferably 3" should be used for this purpose). This firmness also works great as a bottom layer in a DIY mattress. Our 1” toppers are great for producing a subtle change to the surface feel of a mattress. While a 1” topper will not add a significant level of support, it will tweak the feel of a mattress without adding much additional height. The 2” thickness is our most popular topper thickness. A 2” topper will provide a significant change in firmness and add pinpointed support to any mattress while still retaining support from the underlaying mattress.
A 3” topper will provide the largest change to a mattress and routinely get the best reviews from our customers. If you need a “Mattress Makeover”, this is the topper for you! Optional Organic Cotton Cover We offer the option to purchase our toppers with a cover. Our organic cotton cover is designed and manufactured in Chicago. The fabric we use in our covers is luxurious and soft but stretchy enough that it does not restrict the foam.The cover is made with two separate pieces of fabric which zip together around the bottom edge. The fabric which covers the top and sides contains 80% organic cotton and a small amount (20%) of polyester, which prevents the cover from shrinking when washed. The bottom piece is an 100% organic cotton woven fabric which helps to prevent the topper from sliding. The organic cotton bottom is not washable.Please note that while a cover is very nice to have, it is not a necessity. Most of our toppers are actually purchased without covers. Our toppers can also be covered with a fitted sheet.
