Pillowtop Mattresses

My girlfriend is completely obsessed with pillowtop mattresses ever since we stayed in a hotel with one a few months ago. It was the first time she had ever slept on a pillowtop mattress, you see, although even then she seemed interested in them. She had heard a lot about how soft pillow top mattresses were. She is kind of a snob about beds. She likes beds that are soft and comfortable, yet don't sag in the middle. These mattresses have to be extremely high quality. It is easy to find a nice firm mattress that doesn't sag, or a nice soft one that does, but pillowtop mattresses, at least the high quality ones, manage to combine both of these qualities.

I am in a much different position. In some ways, I like pillowtop mattresses, but some nights I can not sleep on something so soft. They are wonderful to lie on and relax, but they are not always the best sleeping places. I feel a little bit disoriented when I am on pillowtop mattresses all night, you see. I have no idea where the edge of the bed is, and sometimes I wake up not knowing where I am. It is almost like I can't let go and completely sink into that much comfort. Don't get me wrong, I love lying on a pillowtop mattress. It is just that sometimes it makes it hard for me to get to sleep.

That is why I have become so interested in memory foam mattresses lately. I am sure that it will become a fight when we begin to look for our own new mattress, but I have developed a very different taste in mattresses than she has. The thing that I like about memory foam mattresses as opposed to pillowtop mattresses is that they seem to conform more to your individual body. Rather than sagging shapelessly, they support you just in those key positions where you need support, while relaxing so as not to give you pressure points.

Still, I can't deny her assertion that pillowtop mattresses are the most comfortable the world. Pillow top queen-size mattresses are like nothing else I have ever slept on. Even if I go to sleep with dozens and dozens of aches in my body, I will wake up without a single one. Honestly, no matter what kind of mattress we choose, I'm sure it will be better than the one we're sleeping on now!
