We have a pillowtop waterbed replacement mattress (California queen - it is longer than a standard queen, and it is deep to fill the waterbed frame) and even the cheapo queen sheets from Target fit it. 1,167 posts, read 3,483,741 times I HATE my pillow top mattress. It wasn't a cheap one either it was $2.5K First off the whole thing is too soft so it offers no support. My back is constantly killing me and I HAVE to sleep with a pillow between my legs or my hips hurt (and no I'm not in my 50's! In my late 20's!!!). The pillow top also "slid" over to on side, hard to explain but basically the one side has about an inch and a half over hang. I pull it back in place but it sure makes me sweat, not easy to pull and it always slides back by the time I change the sheets. Always happens on the same side no matter which way the mattress is turned.
Plus it's like 18 inches deep it's not easy to find sheets that fit it, even the so called deep pocket ones. The sheets pull up sometimes in the middle of the night sometimes. So would I recommend a pillow top? I can hardly wait until hubby lets me replace the one we have now with a good old plain firm mattress. 5,328 posts, read 14,225,456 times Originally Posted by glo959 When you go to look at sheets, most now state how thick of a matress they can cover.

Interested in a "bed-in-a-box" foam and latex mattresses? Our 2017 mattress review looks at five popular mattresses from brands like Koala, and compares them with a traditional innersping Sealy. Our 2015 mattress satisfaction survey forms part of our annual reliability survey, which asks thousands of members about the products they own, including TVs, fridges, vacuum cleaners, robot vacuum cleaners, steam mops, juicers, smartphones, washing machines and hot water systems. In April and May 2015, we asked more than 5000 people who'd bought a new mattress to tell us: when they'd bought it the mattress brand and type (such as inner-spring, latex, memory foam) what the pillow top is made from (if applicable) how much they spent on the mattress how they would rate the mattress on a seven-point scale from "excellent" to "terrible" (categories are weighted to calculate the satisfaction score) whether they experienced any major or minor problems with the mattress and if so, what were the main issues?
Tempur and Madison owners are more satisfied than owners of other brands. However, most mattress owners are happy overall regardless of brand, with 74% of people rating them either excellent or very good. % of owners reporting a problem* Sample size in brackets. *Base: Up to first eight years of ownership. Out of all mattresses, 49% have a pillow-top, which is the additional padding sewn onto the top of the mattress. The most popular types of pillow tops are cotton, memory foam, wool and latex. When asked about mattress types, inner-spring was overwhelmingly popular. What type of mattress do you have? Other foam (eg polyurethane) In the first eight years of ownership, only 4% of mattress owners reported a major problem and only 16% had any problem at all. Of those with problems, the most common complaint was sinking and sagging (59%). Other complaints include back pain and being hot (memory foam owners were less likely to complain of sagging, but were more likely to have complaints about being hot).
Is it worth paying more for a mattress? People who spend less than $500 on a mattress are significantly less happy with their mattress on average, but once you get over this amount we found it has very little impact on satisfaction. Most people tend to spend between $1000 and $2000 on a mattress, and it always pays to negotiate. Check out our 2017 investigation into mattress industry pricing for more.
