What is a Pillow Top Mattress?

A pillow top mattress has an extra layer of soft material sewn on top. This layer makes the mattress feel plush and cosy. Unlike standard mattresses, pillow tops add comfort without losing support.

  • Soft, padded top layer
  • Supports your spine and joints
  • Hotel-style sleep experience

Clarification: Pillow tops are different from mattress toppers. A topper is removable. Pillow top is built into the mattress. It also differs from a euro top, which has stitching around the edge for a flatter feel. Pillow tops are softer and more plush.

Materials & Construction: Most pillow tops use foam, wool, latex, micro-coil comfort layers or open coil spring mattresses. Breathable materials and gel-infused foams improve airflow and help regulate temperature. The core may be pocket springs, hybrid systems, or reinforced edges for durability.
