# How to Remove a Pillow Top
Pillow-top mattresses are identifiable by the soft, separate "pillow top" attached to the mattress that provides an extra layer of comfort. This layer also extends the life of the mattress. However, since this is the surface on which people sleep, it can incur stains and other soiling. When this happens, you can either purchase an entire new mattress or remove the pillow top.
