Memory Foam
Memory foam wins on this issue, edging out latex and substantially beating the other two types (feather and fiber). This is likely due to the fact that memory foam contours and moulds to one's body better than the other types, thereby possibly providing superior support.
Latex
Latex surely provides good pain relief, but probably not as good as memory foam.
Feather
While a feather topper-pad will likely make a mattress more soft and comfortable, it is likely not as effective in relieving pain as memory foam and latex.
Fiber
While a fiber topper-pad will likely make a mattress softer and more comfortable, it is likely not as effective in relieving pain as memory foam and latex.
