Pillow Top Mattress

The mattress has a burrito-like construction, with multiple layers of foam and springs wrapped in a plush-looking cloth. The pillow top mattress is constructed from many layers of foam that have been quilted together and then sewed onto the packaging material. The plushness of a mattress can be increased by adding a layer of padding called a pillow top. Fillings including latex, wool, cotton, fiberfill, memory foam, and down foam make up the pillow's top layer. It turns out that a user can separate this covering from the foam beneath it. These compounds make the coil layer, or the innerspring support layer, softer while reducing its bounce and stiffness. It's a standard pillow top, sewed on top of the mattress with a perceptible gap above the comfort layer to provide the impression of more padding. The extra padding of a Euro top mattress is sewn directly into the cover, creating a smooth and uniform appearance and enhancing the mattress's edge support because there is no gap between the cover and the padding. The foam or fiberfill used to create a Euro top gives the layer an appearance of more density and thickness than that of a standard pillow top.

When compared to other mattress types, pillow top mattresses have a very limited lifespan (between 3 and 5 years). Mattresses with a pillow top provide the comfort of a conventional innerspring mattress with the added benefit of reducing stress on sensitive pressure points. Back discomfort can be reduced or avoided altogether by optimizing spinal alignment and weight distribution in this way. Due to the lack of a material layer between the pillow layer and the mattress cover, pillow tops are often softer than Euro tops.
