A Euro top mattress is a type of pillow top mattress that has an added layer of plush, cushioning material on top of the mattress. However, the extra layer of padding is sewn beneath the mattress cover, creating a stacked and uniform appearance that eliminates the gap and v-shaped indent found between the extra layer and mattress cover in conventional pillow tops. Euro tops can be made from foam or fiber fills and are typically denser and more durable than standard pillow tops. Here are some key differences between Euro top and pillow top mattresses:

Euro Top Mattress:

• Covers the entire surface of the mattress top and is flush with each side of the mattress
• Offers a cleaner, sleeker look
• Adds softness to the surface of the mattress
• Better edge support than a pillow top
• Typically more dense and durable than a pillow top

Pillow Top Mattress:

• An extra layer of cushioning on the top surface of the mattress
• Softer and fluffier than a Euro top
• Creates a more "bowed" appearance to the top of the mattress
• Generally less dense and less durable than a Euro top

Overall, Euro tops tend to have better edge support, motion isolation, and maintain their shape longer than pillow tops. However, pillow tops are softer and fluffier, making them a good choice for those who prefer a plush sleeping surface.
