A pillow-to is a squishy 'pillow' that sits on top of the main body of your mattress, adding comfortable cushioning and a luxurious feel. A bunch of our best mattress picks have them, and they're particularly popular within the luxury mattress industry, most commonly found on pricier hybrid or innerspring models.
I recently had a chance to look around the factory that manufactures mattresses for a number of the biggest US brands and was faced with an unsettling truth… pillow-tops aren't what they seem.
