What Is A Pillowtop Mattress?
A pillowtop mattress has a cushioning layer sewn onto the top surface, creating a distinct comfort zone separate from the main mattress body.
When you lie down, the extra padding creates a luxuriously soft initial feel before engaging the supportive layers beneath, combining supreme comfort and support.
Different Types Of Pillowtop Mattresses
Pillowtop mattresses come in several variations to suit your comfort preferences.
Traditional pillowtops use soft fibre fillings for a plush feel, while Euro-tops feature edges that align flush with the mattress sides for a neater appearance.
Memory foam pillowtops provide body-contouring comfort, and hybrid versions combine multiple materials for enhanced support and temperature regulation.
The pillowtop’s filling defines its initial firmness and feel — foam and fibrous fillings have different characteristics. Fibres are lofty and consistent, while foams compress and provide more of a ‘hugging’ feel.
How A Pillowtop Mattress Feels
When you first lie on a pillowtop mattress, you'll notice an immediate sense of luxury as the cushioned surface welcomes your body.
The extra padding creates a distinctly soft initial feel, but you'll still sense the supportive core beneath, maintaining proper alignment. This dual-comfort approach means you get the best of both worlds – cloud-like softness on top with reliable support underneath.
You will find this combination particularly beneficial for pressure relief, especially around sensitive areas like shoulders and hips.
