Choosing the right mattress for you is not as simple as picking out the most expensive mattress you can
A plush mattress has padding on both sides, making it possible to flip the mattress for greater longevity and more even wear. A plush mattress has 1 to 4 extra inches of padding over the springs. It offers greater back support than a pillow top due to its greater firmness. This is often the most budget-friendly choice in a mattress, and is often chosen as much for its practicality as for comfort.
A pillow top mattress is a traditional coil spring mattress with an added layer of thick, luxurious material designed to create a much softer, more comfortable sleeping surface. Typically thicker than a standard-sized coil spring mattress, a pillow top may require larger sheets, sometimes called “deep pocket” sheets to accommodate the extra padding. With a pillow top mattress, the extra layer of padding is on only one side of the mattress, so although it can be rotated for more even wear, it can’t be flipped. Pillow top mattresses are considered by some to be more comfortable, but are not as firm as a plush mattress.
A new twist on the traditional padded coil spring mattress is the addition of a layer of memory foam. Much the same as a pillow top or plush mattress, a memory foam padded mattress has an extra layer of material designed to enhance the comfort of the mattress. Memory foam pads may create a softer, more luxurious feel without the cost of a full memory foam mattress, but they do not last as long as the full foam mattress. If you enjoy the feel of sleeping on a memory foam mattress but would like more support, this may be an option for you.
