There can seem to be an unlimited number of different types of mattresses on the market, and it can be confusing for Sioux Falls residents considering replacing their old mattresses.
One term that is often with marketing for mattresses is pillow top, or it may also be marketed as a super pillow top mattress. In general, a pillow top mattress has an additional layer or covering of a specific type of padding material over the inner springs or coils of the mattress.
The designation of a super pillow top mattress, as opposed to a pillow top mattress, is typically to denote an increased thickness of this padding, as well as a higher quality of material.
What to Consider
The choice of a super pillow top mattress is not related to the firmness or softness of the mattress itself. The pillow top layer does provide a more plush sleeping experience as the body sinks in slightly to the pillow top, providing less pressure on hips, buttocks, and shoulders, while also supporting the spine for both back and side sleepers.
The key to finding the right pillow top mattress is in the materials that are used to create the pillow top. Some pillow tops are memory foam or gel foam, while others may be cotton, wool, latex, or even a combination of these materials. For most consumers, choosing a topper that can be washed is an important feature, particularly with beds that are designed to last for years of use.
Ideally, look for a super pillow top mattress that has been designed to provide the firmness level you need, and has the pillow top made of a breathable fabric. There are also those pillow top mattresses that are designed to help sleepers stay cool, which is an exceptional feature that keeps people in Sioux Falls comfortable all year round.
