Pillow Top Mattresses

Pillow Top Mattresses are the perfect choice for those who want a supportive mattress with an extra layer of comfort. The “pillow top” is a sewn-in cushioning layer that adds softness without reducing the underlying support, giving you the best of both worlds.

 

At Funkybedz, our Pillow Top Mattresses are handmade in Yorkshire and built to last. Options include pocket sprung cores for stability and responsiveness, as well as hybrid designs that combine memory foam with springs for enhanced pressure relief. This makes them an excellent choice for side and combination sleepers who enjoy a plush yet supportive feel.

 

Available in single, small double, double, king and super king sizes, our pillow top range provides consistent comfort night after night. Pair your mattress with one of our upholstered or storage beds for the ultimate sleep experience. With free UK delivery and optional assembly when ordered with a bed, a Funkybedz Pillow Top Mattress is a luxury you’ll feel every day.

What is a pillow top mattress, and who is it best for

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.

How do I choose the right pillow top build without guessing

Comfort layer that feels plush, not swampy

Look for high quality fibres or foams quilted into the top so you get a soft first touch with shape that returns. Well made tops relax a little during the first weeks, then settle into a steady feel.

Support core that carries the load

Pocket springs keep airflow high and movement calm. High density foam cores feel stable and quiet. The core sets alignment, the pillow top sets the cuddle factor. Choose the core for your posture, then add the top for your taste.

Edge support so the whole width is usable

Reinforced edges stop roll off and make sitting easier. Handy on smaller sizes and when you like to starfish without feeling the border give way.

Heat and breathability

Pillow tops feel cosier. If you sleep warm, pair breathable covers with pocket springs and light bedding. Cotton or linen sheets help the cause.

How do I measure depth and check base compatibility

Depth and fitted sheets

Pillow tops add height. Measure full depth and pick deep fitted sheets so corners stay put. If you use a protector or topper, include that in the number before you buy bedding.

Slats, platform, and divans

Works on solid platforms and on slats that are sound and evenly spaced. A platform feels a touch firmer, sprung slats add a hint of give. On Double and above, a centre rail keeps support even across the width.

Ottoman and drawer bases

Pillow tops pair nicely with storage bases. If your mattress is very heavy, tell us and we will advise on piston strength for ottoman lifts.

Which size suits your space and sleep style

Single 3ft

Box rooms, neat sleepers, growing kids. Deep sheets recommended.

Small Double 4ft

Cosy couples or luxe solo. Check walkway around the bed.

Double 4ft6

Classic choice. Plush top, practical footprint for most rooms.

King 5ft

More stretch and calmer partner motion. A sweet spot for many homes.

Super King 6ft

Suite energy with proper sprawl space. Measure doors for delivery.

FAQs

Will a pillow top feel softer over time

A short settle is normal as quilting relaxes. Rotate on schedule and use a breathable protector to keep the feel consistent.

Is a pillow top too warm

It can feel cosier. Choose breathable covers, pocket springs, and light bedding if you sleep warm. Cotton or linen sheets help a lot.

Do I rotate or flip

Most pillow tops are one sided. Rotate head to toe on schedule and do not flip unless the product page says it is two sided.

Will it work on slatted frames

Yes, when slats are sound and evenly spaced. On Double and above, use a centre rail for consistent support across the width.

Will my mattress fit my Funkybedz frame

Yes, we follow UK sizes across frames and bases. Mixing brands. Double check dimensions or ask us via the contact page first.

Is a pillow top good for back pain

If you need firmer alignment, choose a supportive core under the plush top, or consider an orthopaedic model with a gentler surface feel.
