Eurotop Mattress Definition

Definition

• Eurotop mattresses have an extra layer of quilted padding on top. The cushion top creates a box that is attached to the mattress so that there is no space between the padding and mattress.

Comfort

• The extra layer of padding creates a soft, quilted cushion that often connotes a level of luxuriousness.

Thickness

• The Eurotop mattress is 2 to 4 inches higher than a standard mattress. The thickness of the cushion depends on the manufacturer. Most deep-pocketed sheets will fit Eurotop mattresses.

Firmness

• Eurotop mattresses have various levels of firmness. They can be soft, medium or firm. The cushion makes the Eurotop softer than a regular mattress and tends to be firmer than a pillowtop.

Price

• The price of Eurotop mattresses varies depending on size and manufacturer. A queen-sized mattress cost anywhere from $1,100 to $2,300 as of March 2010.
