Pros & Cons of King Pillow Top Mattresses
You might think because a king size pillow top mattress is considered luxurious and an upgrade from a normal mattress that there are only positive aspects of owning one, which we will look at below. However, several downsides to these mattresses should be considered before deciding which mattress is right for you.
Pros
✅ Added layer of softness: A pillow top king size mattress gives you an extra layer of cushion and softness that will make it feel like you’re sleeping on a cloud or a big fluffy pillow.
✅ Pressure point support: The added benefit of a king pillow top mattress is the pressure point support you will get with the extra cushioning that will evenly distribute your weight while giving you support where needed most.
✅ They keep you cooler while sleeping: Depending on the material used in a pillow top mattress, it will not retain heat, thereby keeping a more even and consistent temperature throughout the night.
Cons
❌ Tendancy to Sag: One of the main cons of pillow top mattresses is their tendency to sag over time, especially in the pillow top layer. This can lead to uneven support and discomfort for sleepers, particularly those with heavier body weights.
❌ Higher price range: A king mattress pillow top can be considerably more expensive than your typical mattress. Making sure that all the features are desirable for your specific needs is important for deciding if it’s worth the extra cost.
❌ Long-term durability: Over time, a pillow top mattress may begin to lose its shape and ultimately need to be replaced more frequently.
After considering all the pros and cons of a king size mattress pillow top, you will be able to determine if upgrading is right for you. Thinking about your personal preferences and your needs while getting a good night’s rest, you should be able to pick out the perfect mattress that will last for years to come.

How to Choose a King Size Pillow Top Mattress
When it’s time to throw out that old mattress and begin looking for a new king size pillow top mattress, consider how important it is to get a good night’s sleep every night. Asking yourself all the important questions about what will make your sleep the best is vital for choosing the perfect pillow top king size bed for you.
Do you prefer a firm or a soft mattress? Do you tend to have sore joints when waking up in the morning? Do you toss and turn all night long because you just can’t get comfortable or you’re too hot?
Choosing a king pillow top mattress requires careful consideration of several factors to ensure optimal comfort and support for a restful night's sleep. Here are the steps to guide you through the selection process:
- Assess Your Comfort Preferences: Determine your preferred level of firmness and support. Pillow top mattresses come in various firmness levels, ranging from plush to extra firm, so consider your personal comfort needs and sleep preferences.
- Evaluate Material Quality: Look for high-quality materials that offer durability and long-lasting comfort. Opt for premium materials like memory foam, latex, or individually wrapped coils for superior support and pressure relief.
- Test Out Different Options: Visit mattress stores to test out different king pillow top mattresses. Lie down on each mattress for at least 10-15 minutes to assess its comfort level and support. Pay attention to how well it contours to your body and alleviates pressure points.
- Check for Motion Isolation: If you share the bed with a partner, consider a mattress with excellent motion isolation properties to minimize disturbances from their movements during the night.
- Read Customer Reviews: Research customer reviews and feedback on various king pillow top mattresses to gain insights into their performance, durability, and overall satisfaction.
- Set a Budget: Determine your budget range for a king pillow top mattress and narrow down your options accordingly. While high-quality mattresses may come with a higher price tag, they often offer better comfort and longevity.
- Look for Warranty and Return Policies: Prioritize mattresses that come with a generous warranty and flexible return policies. This ensures you have recourse in case the mattress doesn't meet your expectations or experiences premature wear and tear.
By following these steps, you can confidently select a king pillow top mattress that meets your comfort needs and provides you with restorative sleep night after night.
