poo and caca
you are in the same position we are in, we just turned ours over and put the foam topper on it.............we will see!
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.
They do relieve pressure on the back. If you like your current pillow top mattress, you could go with one that is a memory foam mattress at it's core with a pillow top cover over it. Very comfortable. See the link below for the one I own. Very comfortable.
Single pillow top mattress has one layer of cushioning layer. Double pillow top mattress has two cushioning layers. Sometimes you can buy removable pillow top layers which are simple to put on and off.
Yes
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.
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
I noticed a pillow top Eastman House mattress at Mattress Warehouse in Germantown, MD.
There is not a practical fix, time to buy a new mattress.
It really depends on the mattress and the sheets, but my guess would be no.
If one is looking to purchase a pillow top mattress on sale, they can often be found in department stores such as Sears or The Bay, The Brick and Leon's. They can also be found at special mattress stores such as Sleep Country.
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.
