What is the difference between firm, plush, and pillow top/euro top mattresses?

Firm
A mattress that does not “give” and feels firm underneath you.

Plush
A mattress that is in the middle; softer than firm, but not as soft as the pillow top/euro top.

Pillow Top/Euro Top
A mattress with an extra layer of cushioning that sits on top of the main mattress and offers more softness than plush mattresses. A euro top mattress has a more finished look than a pillow top mattress.

Every mattress construction is different and includes the following: comfort layers - fabric, upholstery layers; fibers and foams; support - innerspring unit. Compare the construction materials when choosing your mattress.
