What is the difference between a cold foam topper and a visco foam topper?

These are the most important differences between cold foam toppers and memory foam toppers:

In hotels, both cold foam toppers and memory foam toppers are used. But who are they suitable for and what are the differences?

When do I need a topper?

The term "topper" derives from the English word "top." It refers to a thin mattress, about four to ten centimeters high, placed on top of the actual mattress.

The advantages of a topper are clear. Using a topper can refine and enhance the feel of the sleep system without altering the mattress's support. It also creates a full-sized surface on double beds with two separate mattresses, eliminating the often annoying "visitor gap."

Couples often prefer two mattresses sized 90 x 200 cm with different firmness levels. For such cases, we recommend a topper measuring 180 x 200 cm. Now the question arises, which topper suits you best?

The Cold Foam Topper

A cold foam topper is often the right choice and the most popular variant among hotel toppers. Cold foam has high surface elasticity, providing a dynamically springy lying feeling. It quickly returns to its original shape when relieved. The climatic properties of a cold foam topper are also excellent, as it does not create heat build-up, keeping you warm without sweating. Its open-pored cell structure and good breathability make it ideal for allergy sufferers.

The Memory Foam Topper

Memory foam toppers, also known as "viscoelastic foam," offer special thermoelastic properties. Memory foam responds to body temperature, conforming exactly to every contour and providing significant pressure relief. The body sinks deeper into the topper, feeling almost weightless. Memory foam returns to its original shape slowly when changing sleeping positions. It is suitable for those who sleep warmly and may benefit people with back problems. However, it is not recommended for those who sweat heavily or move a lot during sleep, as it can delay repositioning.
