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.
Always!
Superficially, the difference is that a pillow-top mattress has extra layers of wadding materials (foams etc) stitched on to the top of the main body of the mattress. The resulting extra layers looks a little like a pillow stitched to the top of the mattress, hence the name. A euro-top is a more recent development. It also consists of extra layers of wadding materials added to the top of the mattress, but inserted under the outer cover of the mattress to create a box like structure with square edges. Opinion is divided on whether the difference between the pillow-top and the euro-top is anything more than aesthetic. In principle, if the mattress is well constructed with good quality, resilient (returns to its original shape) layers of padding sewn together with a good quality, resilient outer cover, then the euro-top should retain its shape for longer than the pillow-top. When a mattress is well made, the outer fabric of the mattress stretched over the edges of the euro-top ought to behave like the material of the elastic surface of a trampoline, returning to its original shape when the weight of the sleeper's body is removed from the mattress surface. in the UK, Test and OkoTest in Germany indicate that a well-made euro-top mattress or mattress without a pillow-top is likely to retain its shape longer than a pillow-top. However, such an effect is unlikely to be observable if non-resilient extra layers of wadding and non-resilient mattress cover are used. Well-made, well-tempered mild-steel springs and blocks of natural latex continue to be the most resilient materials used in mattress making.

DreamCloud: the luxury hybrid mattress combining the best of latex, memory foam, tufting and coil technology to provide the best sleep money can buy. cutt.ly/XkkNJLF If you’re looking for a luxury hotel experience, a Euro top mattress is the perfect choice for you. Euro top mattresses are a plush combination of soft and supportive material, and they are also excellent for those who struggle with any sort of back or neck pain. Euro top mattresses tend to be softer than pillow tops, and they are also stitched right in to the top layer of the mattress making them flush with the edge.
Yes. We just did this three weeks ago in our 2002 Olds Silhouette. On an angle, box spring first, then mattress on top of that. Tight but no problem.
Yes
I noticed a pillow top Eastman House mattress at Mattress Warehouse in Germantown, MD.
It really depends on the mattress and the sheets, but my guess would be no.
The mattress pad is meant to be placed on top of the mattress and directly under the bottom sheet.
