Read this before you decide to get a pillow top mattress. 

O.k, I have been in the mattress business for over 10 years and love it. But, I am no sales man. I have been a delivery guy for many mattress companies. I seen it all on deliveries I love it. What these salesmen and mattress companies get away with, I have no choice but to shake my head when I see it happen. As a delivery guy I am not allowed to talk bad about a product. 


In this case the product is the pillow top mattress. I have delivered this pillow top mattress for years. If you do not know what a pillow top mattress is. It is a standard mattress with a extra cushion on the top. You can tell when a mattress is a pillow top by the extra seam going around the mattress splitting the top of the mattress with a small cushion. Pillow tops are usually high. So you may consider on getting a low profile box spring if you still decide to get one. After reading this blog. 



A pillow top mattress is comfortable if you like soft beds. If you like firm mattresses a pillow top mattress is not for you. Pillow tops are designed to give you more comfort and cushion. If you are in the market for purchasing a pillow top do your research first. I have plenty of information for you here. 


Why should you not get a pillow top mattress? 



For me being in this mattress business I have learned a lot of information on mattresses. As me being a mattress delivery As me being a mattress delivery guy I know how the system works. If a customer do not like there mattress most mattress companies let the customer return it. To exchange for a new one. To Find your comfort it is very hard. I mention this because pillow tops are one of the main biggest reasons why I am sent to exchange mattresses. Most of all pillow top mattresses dip after a year. Most before a year. That have been the biggest problem with pillow top mattresses. I have even seen memory foam pillow top mattresses dip. I was surprised to see a foam pillow top mattress dip. I have even seen the biggest names, best quality brands pillow top mattresses dip. Especially cheap no name brands. The no name cheap brand mattresses dip with in a year. 


There is a alternative for getting a pillow top mattress. When I exchange pillow top mattresses. The mattresses I bring is a plush. A plush mattress is a mattress that has extra cushion. This cushion is not like a pillow top. This extra cushion is in the mattress. The difference between a pillow top mattress and a plush mattress. The pillow top mattress is a topper on a mattress. The topper has been sealed on the mattress. The plush is like tiny small pillow cushions inside your mattress. Think of it like real small pillows stuffed into the material on the top of your mattress.

If you do decide to get a pillow top. Try to get a name brand. Some big name brand quality mattresses do not sink in.
