Is a Pillow Top Right for You? Here’s What You Need to Know

Deciding if a pillow top is right for you is like deciding if pineapple belongs on pizza: it’s all about personal preference. 

And while the decision is entirely your own, we’re here to give you all the info so you aren’t left in the dark (unless you’re getting ready for a great night’s sleep).

What is a Pillow Top, Anyway?

A pillow top is a soft, plush layer added to the top of a mattress. It’s designed to provide pressure relief, especially for sensitive areas like your shoulders and hips. The idea is that it adds comfort without changing the overall support of the mattress underneath. Sort of like a hug from your bed…but not as awkward as it sounds.

Custom Comfort for Your Sleep Needs

A pillow top adds more than just softness—it contours to your body, offering gentle support while relieving pressure points. We manufacture two thickness options (2” and 2.5”), so you can choose the right level of softness for you. 

Non-flippable mattresses feature a detachable pillow top option for one side, while flippable mattresses offer the option of pillow tops on both sides for added versatility. They can complement any firmness level, allowing for a personalized feel. And remember, firmness doesn’t necessarily equal support—it’s just about finding the right balance for your body.

You can choose from traditional, sewn-in pillow tops for a more permanent, seamless feel, or opt for detachable pillow tops that are secured with elastic and easy to replace. 

Stay Cool and Comfortable

Pillow tops are crafted with breathable materials that promote airflow so that they won’t trap body heat. Just like our mattresses, they keep you cool and comfortable throughout the night. 

Flexibility to Suit Your Sleep Style

If you’re unsure about adding a pillow top right away, don’t stress! You can always decide later. Many people test out their mattress first, and if they want a little extra softness, adding a pillow top is a simple adjustment. It’s a great way to find that perfect balance between firm and soft, especially if you share a bed—because let’s face it, while you and your partner might not agree on everything, at least you can agree on a comfortable mattress! After all, a good night’s rest means a better, more energized day ahead.

The Perfect Fit for You

Ultimately, choosing whether to add a pillow top is about what feels best for you. If you’re someone who loves a softer feel but still wants solid support, a pillow top can offer that perfect balance. And if you’re not sure at first, you can always add one later. No hard feelings.

No matter what you choose, we’re here to help you find the ultimate mattress and pillow top combo that leaves you feeling satisfied every single night.
