What is a Pillow Top Mattress?

A pillow top is that extra layer of plush comfort across the surface of a mattress. Depending on the make or support and comfort level of the mattress, a pillow top adds an extra 5-10cm of surface cushioning.

The pillow top is specifically engineered with layers of memory foam, fiberfill, down, polyester, latex cotton or wool for enhanced levels of comfort, temperature regulation and breathability. Like icing on a cake, it’s that extra bit of sumptuousness that completes the luxurious sleeping experience.

Pillow top mattresses are often an excellent compromise for partners who have different preferences for either a firm, medium or plush mattress. The mattress itself can provide robust firmness while the pillow top has the soft feeling of sinking into the mattress. It’s the best of both. If one partner suffers from joint pain when sleeping, a pillow top can provide significant relief as it gently cushions the body, conforming to the contours of the sleeping position.

It really depends on your personal sleep preferences. Some pillow tops simply give a softer, cosier feel to the mattress. Combined with a pocket-spring base mattress, a deep-layered pillow top can also soften motion transfer significantly. Partners shouldn't disturb one another when they get into and out of bed.
