Pillow Top Mattresses

What is a pillow top mattress?

A pillow top mattress is a type of mattress where two finishing edges (tape edges) have additional fabric joining them together in a V-shape. There is absolutely no benefit to the comfort, support, durability or quality of the finished mattress. It is purely aesthetic treatment.

What is a euro-top mattress?

A euro pillow top mattress is a style of mattress finishing where two finishing edges (tape edges) are separated vertically by a band of fabric. There is absolutely no benefit to the comfort, support, durability or quality of the finished mattress. It is purely aesthetic treatment.

Are pillow top or euro pillow top mattresses better?

As we established above, pillow tops and euro tops are merely terms to describe a specific aesthetic treatment when finishing the mattress. These mattress styles have zero impact on the comfort and quality of the finished mattress.

In fact, our lowest price mattress is a euro pillow top.

The materials inside of the mattress are not impacted by this stylistic choice. The quantity, quality and variety of internal mattress components are not reliant upon whether or not the mattress features a pillow top. You could have a mattress that is 6" thick with a pillow top, just as you could also have a 20" thick mattress without a pillow top.

Thicker is not better

A thicker mattress is not necessarily better. In fact, our best mattresses are only 8 to 12" thick. Our best mattresses are made from highly elastic materials and do not contain polyurethane foam. The simple fact is that a mattress made from highly elastic materials is superior to one that is not, and using highly elastic materials means that there is no functional reason to create a super thick mattress.

Which mattress components are "highly-elastic?"

1. Springs are the most elastic component found in any mattress. Mattresses made with several layers of pocket springs are exceptionally elastic.
2. Vita Talalay latex is the most elastic foam/upholstery material.
