SHOP BY COMFORT
Mattress comfort levels are a huge consideration when shopping for a new bed. However, it is very common for mattress shoppers to confuse mattress comfort and mattress support. Keep in mind that support should be your first consideration, followed by comfort. Once you have the proper support system for your sleep needs, then you can choose the best mattress comfort level for you. Comfort levels help you fall asleep, and support offers the proper body alignment that helps keep you stay asleep throughout the night. There are three categories of mattress comfort levels: pillow top, plush and firm.
There is not an industry standard for any of these three mattress comfort levels. Each category had a range within itself, which is why it is important to test out our patented bedMATCH® sleep diagnostic system to assure you find the proper support and comfort for your specific sleeping needs. This trusted technology uses scientific calculations and your measurements to suggest beds that are targeted to fit your needs and wants.
Once you have the optimal mattress options according to bedMATCH®, you can test out your recommended mattresses yourself at a variety of different comfort levels! Our sleep specialists at every store are there as a resource during your mattress shopping experience to provide guidance, product insight, and answer any questions you may have.

COMPARING MATTRESS COMFORT LEVELS

Use this guide to help inform your search for a new mattress, then visit your local Mattress Warehouse to try out our bedMATCHⓇ sleep diagnostic system in store to find the mattress best suited for you.
Pillow Top Mattress
Pillow Top Mattress

Pillow top mattresses offer more padding than a plush mattress. This comfort level category has additional layers of padding sewn into the top layer of the mattress for an extra-soft, comfortable feel. The extra padding can be made from a multitude of different materials, so while you are in a Mattress Warehouse store, make sure to lie on beds with different materials in the pillow top to see which one suits your comfort preference.

Plush vs. Pillow Top Mattresses

Pillow top mattresses offer a more cushion-like comfort to sleepers, while plush mattresses offer a bit more of a middle ground between comfort and a stiffer supportive feel.
