Pillow Top Mattress Or Mattress Topper?
Choosing A Pillow Top Mattress Or A Mattress Topper
A pillow top mattress is one which has an layer of cushioning on top of it, to give a more sleeping position without losing any support.
The same sort of effect can be achieved by buying a mattress topper and putting it on top of your existing bed. Whether you choose one or other of these options is as much down to your own personal taste as anything else. However, we have noted below a few of the things you might like to bear in mind when you are considering buying either one of these mattress products.
Price. You will most likely find that buying a new pillow top mattress or a conventional mattress with an additional mattress will work out at more or less the same price. Where you might find a saving, however, is if you can simply revitalize a slightly worn or sagging old mattress by fitting a mattress topper onto it instead of replacing it with a new bed.

Material. You will find both pillow top mattresses and mattress toppers in a wide variety of materials, with visco memory foam being especially common these days.
