A pillow top mattress features an extra layer of soft cushioning material sewn onto the top surface of the mattress, creating a plush, cloud-like sleep surface. This pillow-like layer — typically 2 to 4 inches thick — sits above the mattress's main comfort and support layers, adding an immediate feeling of luxurious softness the moment you lie down. At LA Mattress Stores, we carry a wide selection of pillow top mattresses from premium brands like Stearns & Foster, Chattam & Wells, and Diamond Mattress — available to test at all five of our Los Angeles showrooms.
Pillow top mattresses come in two main styles: traditional pillow tops and Euro pillow tops. A traditional pillow top has a visible gap between the cushioning layer and the mattress body, creating a distinct "pillow" appearance. A Euro pillow top has the cushioning layer sewn flush with the mattress edges for a more seamless, tailored look. Both deliver the same plush comfort — the difference is primarily aesthetic and in how the edges feel. With nearly 9,900 monthly searches for "pillow top mattress" and 1,900 for "best pillow top mattress," this remains one of the most popular mattress styles for comfort-focused shoppers.
Pillow top mattresses are the go-to choice for sleepers who prioritize plush comfort without sacrificing support. Here are the key advantages:
If you're searching for the best pillow top mattress near me in Los Angeles, here's what to look for:
Memory foam mattresses provide deep body contouring with a "sleeping in" sensation, while pillow top mattresses offer plush surface cushioning with a "sleeping on" feel. Memory foam excels at motion isolation; pillow tops offer more breathability and a traditional mattress feel. If you want the plush comfort of a pillow top with memory foam properties, look for models with memory foam-filled pillow top layers — we carry several at LA Mattress Stores.
Both are extra cushioning layers on top of the mattress. The difference is construction: a pillow top is sewn on top with a visible gap at the edges, while a Euro top is integrated flush with the mattress sides. Euro tops tend to have slightly firmer edges and a more tailored appearance. Comfort-wise, both feel excellent — the choice often comes down to aesthetics and edge-support preference.
A tight top (or smooth top) mattress has no extra cushioning layer — the comfort layers are built into the mattress with a smooth, flat surface. Tight tops feel firmer and lower-profile. Pillow tops add that extra layer of plush cushioning on the surface. If you prefer a firmer feel with a sleek look, a tight top is the way to go. If you want that luxurious hotel-bed softness, choose a pillow top.

All mattresses develop some body impressions with use, and pillow tops can show wear in the cushioning layer over time. However, quality pillow tops with high-density foam fill layers resist sagging significantly better than those with fiberfill. Rotating the mattress every 3–6 months helps distribute wear evenly. The hand-tufted pillow tops from Stearns & Foster and Chattam & Wells are particularly durable because the tufting anchors the cushioning layers in place.
Most pillow top mattresses are single-sided and should not be flipped, as the pillow top is only on one side. The exception is Chattam & Wells, which makes double-sided mattresses with pillow top comfort on both sides — allowing you to flip the mattress for extended life. For single-sided pillow tops, rotate the mattress head-to-foot every 3–6 months instead.
A pillow top mattress can be excellent for back pain when it has the right support system underneath. The key is choosing a model with firm support coils or foam base topped with a pillow top layer — this gives you surface comfort without compromising spinal alignment. A medium-firm pillow top is typically the best option for back pain. Avoid ultra-soft pillow tops if you have lower back issues, as excessive sinkage can misalign the spine.
Pillow top mattresses are typically 13–16 inches tall, which is thicker than standard mattresses. You'll likely need deep pocket sheets with at least 15–18 inch pocket depth to properly fit a pillow top mattress. Standard sheets with 10–12 inch pockets will be too shallow and may pop off during the night. Our team at LA Mattress Stores can recommend compatible sheet sizes when you purchase.

A pillow-top is a mattress with an extra layer of cushioning material sewn or attached on top of the main mattress, giving a noticeably softer, more cradled feel at the surface. Pillow-tops were historically attached as a separate layer; modern pillow-tops are usually integrated into the cover. They're popular with shoppers who want luxury-hotel softness without giving up the support of a firm core underneath.
A pillow-top sits on top of the mattress with a visible gap or "gusset" around the edge, giving it a distinct rounded look. A Euro-top is integrated flush with the sides of the mattress for a more uniform, modern profile. Functionally similar — both add a soft comfort layer — but Euro-tops typically have better edge support because the comfort layer extends all the way to the sides.
Quality pillow-tops last 7–10 years before noticeable body impressions. Rotation every 3–6 months is critical — pillow-tops are one-sided builds, so rotating distributes wear evenly across the surface. Brands like Stearns & Foster and Chattam & Wells use hand-tufted construction to anchor the comfort layer and minimize shifting over time.
