A pillow top mattress is a type of mattress that features an additional layer of padding sewn on top of the main mattress surface. In simple terms, it provides an extra soft, cushioned layer for superior comfort and support, often giving the sensation of sleeping on a cloud.
Here’s why Australians love pillow top mattresses: they combine luxury and ergonomic support, reducing pressure points on the body and enhancing sleep quality. The main reason for their popularity is the added softness without sacrificing support—perfect for side sleepers, couples, or anyone looking to upgrade their sleep experience.
Pillow top mattresses come in a variety of designs and constructions to suit different sleep preferences:
Traditional coil base topped with plush padding.
