Euro Top Mattress Vs. Pillowtop Mattress

Executive summary about euro pillowtop by Maxwell Payne

Mattresses come with a variety of top layers attached to them. Euro Tops and Pillowtops are just two of the types of top layers available on mattresses.

You can identify the difference between Euro Top and Pillowtop mattresses by looking at the stitching and the area between the topping and the mattress frame itself. A Euro Top mattress lacks the gap or additional material between the mattress frame and the cushioned top.

Euro Top and Pillowtop mattresses come in all of the standard mattress sizes such as Twin, Full, Queen and King. The height and thickness can affect mattress size.

What Is a Euro Pillowtop Mattress?

Executive summary about euro pillowtop by Kate Moore

Euro pillowtop mattresses are made with a thick box-shaped cushion attached to the top of the innerspring mattress. If a mattress has a second pillowtop surface it would be compressed under the weight of the mattress.

Euro pillowtop mattresses have the benefit of extra padding to relieve painful pressure points and increase softness and comfort. Sometimes referred to as boxtop or Eurotop mattresses, the comfort levels of these mattresses range from soft to firm. Many people who need a mattress with firm support can still enjoy the comfortable softness provided by Euro pillowtop mattresses.

The cushion layers in Euro pillowtop mattresses can begin to sag, compress and develop body impressions over time. The pillowtop surface cannot be removed once it begins to compress and pillowtop mattress pads do not combine well with worn out Euro pillowtop mattresses.
