A pillow top adds a plush comfort layer that feels cloudlike on first contact, while a supportive core underneath keeps your back happy. It is a brilliant pick for side sleepers, Sunday morning loungers, and anyone who wants hotel comfort without losing proper support. We partner with trusted UK makers and choose builds that behave beautifully on real bases in real homes.
