Top Mattress Review
Top Mattress is a thick layer of material that goes over your regular mattress. It has a luxurious appearance and is hygienic.
Pillow-top mattresses have passionate supporters and skeptics alike. They offer a plush sleeping surface, but they tend to wear out quicker than models without pillow-tops.
Comfort
This mattress’ comfort level is perfect for most people. It is soft enough to support heavy people and cradle their bodies without being too firm or causing backache.
Its layers are carefully engineered with care, including the breathable and cooling AIRGOCELL foam that prevents heat from building up in your bed. This keeps you comfortable and cool during the night.
This is a pillow-top mattress that is a great choice for side sleepers and those who weigh under 130 pounds. Pillow-tops are luxuriously plush and contour to your body when you lie down. If you are a heavy-sleeper or prefer a firmer bed, they can compress around the edges. This could reduce the total surface area of your bed. Luckily, this mattress avoids that problem by having a tight top with strong edge support.
Durability
A mattress is one of the biggest purchases you’ll ever make, and it needs to last for years. A good mattress can help keep you comfortable throughout the day.
Pillow top mattresses can have a shorter lifespan than other mattress types, particularly if you’re a heavy sleeper. The thick layer of soft foam can compress over time, leading to sagging and an unpleasant feeling. Durability is also affected by the type of foam (fiberfill or memory foam, latex). Foams made from organic cotton and latex are more durable than polyurethane and polyester.
If you are looking for a mattress with a longer lifespan, then look for hybrids that have steel coils. They are more resilient than foam models and can support people who weigh more. You can even turn them to extend their life. (Most pillows-top mattresses were not designed to be flipped. However, rotating them can improve their comfort and increase their lifespan.)
Warranty
A mattress warranty is an assurance from the manufacturer to protect consumers in case there are any defects. The warranty also covers the cost for repairs or replacements. Most reputable businesses offer a product warranty. The terms and conditions can vary from brand to brand. Some may cover only certain issues and require additional fees, such as return shipping charges.
A good mattress warranty should be a key consideration when shopping for a new bed. The warranty should include clear terms, such as the length of the coverage and any actions which can void the guarantee. The warranty should also state what resolution is offered when a problem occurs.
Avocado, for example, offers a 25 year limited warranty on their mattresses. This includes full coverage during the first ten-year period, followed by a prorated limited warranty for the remainder of the warranty. The warranty should state whether or not it covers the costs of returning or repairing the bed.
Value
Our former sleep editor is always up to date on the latest mattress and bedding trends. She’s also not afraid to spend a little more for better quality or comfort. She loves that this mattress can be flipped over to get softer or firmer side.
Allswell, Walmart’s mattress line in a box, was launched in 2017. This model is called the Luxe Hybrid and features two layers with individually wrapped coils, as well as foam of varying densities. It also has a memory foam layer with copper-gel infusion, which helps regulate temperature.
The Allswell comes in queen, California king, and king sizes. It is also very inexpensive, and the company offers frequent sales on this model. It has a generous, risk-free trial of up to one year and a lifetime warranty. That makes it a great value, especially if you’re sharing your bed with someone who has different sleeping preferences.
