Best Answer

While a mattress needs to be firm enough to support the skeletal structure of the sleeper, the top of the mattress should be soft enough to not exert excessive pressure on soft tissue and muscles. A pillow top mattress can provide enough softness to protect the sleeper's soft tissues. However, if the pillow top is too soft, there will not be enough support for the sleeper, and he/she won't get enough restful sleep.

What is the difference between a euro top and a pillow top mattress?

The difference between Euro-top and Pillow-top is not in comfort but in appearance. A Euro-top is the same as a Pillow-top it still has the same extra layer on to the mattress, the difference is that with a Euro the pillow top is sewn into the side of the mattress giving it cleaner lines whereas a Pillow-top is sewn on top of the mattress.A pillow top is a design that features a piece of padding on the top of the mattress that is sewn on with a gap around the side between the padding and the mattress. A euro top has the same piece of padding on top site but it's sewn on so that there is no space left between the mattress and the cushion where they meet around the side. There is really no functional difference between the two, it's just a cosmetic difference.

I own a Grand Heirloom is this mattress supposed to be flipped over or just rotated for better wear?

I can't speak to that particular mattress, but I think the general rule is that if the mattress is not a pillow-top, you should flip it over as part of your maintenance. If it is a pillow-top, just rotate it. If it is a pillow-top on both surfaces (I suppose there are mattresses like this) then clearly the intention is for you to flip it over, or it would have the pillow-top only on one surface.


What are the benefits of a regular mattress versus a pillowtop mattress?

Main benefit is that you can turn it upside down. The pillow top mattress you cannot, you can only rotate it. That causes in getting indent in a mattress where you sleep. That means you will need to change a pillow top mattress sooner than a regular one. But you need to compare apples with apples. Good pillow top mattress will last you longer then a cheap regular mattress. Check consumers product reviews sites such as www.reviewseverest.com to read reviews by people who purchased those mattresses. And for sure buy from the place that has exchange policy. http://reviewseverest.com/category/22/Mattresses
