-
Both pillow top and euro top mattresses include a soft padding on top of the mattress. The differences lie mainly in the way the soft padding is attached to the main body of the mattress.
Pillow Top Gap
Pillow top mattresses leave a small gap between the pillow top and the mattress body along the sides of the mattress.
Euro top construction
Euro top mattresses attach to the mattress along the entire perimeter of the mattress body, leaving no gap.
Entering the pillow top bed
When entering a pillow top bed, the cushioning pulls inward towards the body because the sides are left free.
Entering the euro top bed
When entering a euro top bed, the cushioning retains its position because of the double side panel that holds the padded cushioning uniformly to the top of the mattress.
Coil gauge
Many pillow top and euro top mattresses come with a variety of coil gauges, which contributes to the overall level of firmness and cushioning.
