Pillow Top & Euro Top Mattresses: Similarities & Differences

Understand the difference between a pillow top and Euro top mattress and learn which one is right for you.

Pillow top and Euro top mattresses are built differently

Many mattress manufacturers use 'pillow top' and 'Euro top' interchangeably, but there are notable differences in construction, appearance, and feel. Understanding the distinction can help you make a more informed mattress choice.

What is a Euro top mattress?

A Euro top mattress features an extra comfort layer sewn flush under the cover, creating a seamless appearance. Euro tops tend to offer a more uniform and durable surface because the padding is integrated directly into the mattress structure rather than sitting on top.

What is a pillow top mattress?

A pillow top mattress has a soft, stitched-on topper that is meant to feel softer than a normal top. Pillow top mattresses are generally built in two parts: the pillow top section and the support core underneath. They tend to provide an immediately plush feel.

Comparing construction, feel, and durability

Euro tops are stitched flush to the mattress edge for a cleaner look and often last longer because the padding is more evenly distributed. Pillow tops provide a visibly plush layer on top but may compress or shift more over time. Both add comfort, but the right choice depends on your sleep preferences.
