JJ, We use to have a pillow top mattress. I think it was more like a pillow top and a pillow bottom with a mattress in between. It was very thick mattress and very comfy! The brand was Simmons Beauty Rest. We had it fot pert'ner 20 years too. The only problem was finding sheets to fit that thick of a mattress, and Landsend was the only place I could find those sheets. Now, we have a therma pedic mattress that we replaced the old beauty simmons with a number of years ago. I don't like it as well as the beauty rest. It is not as comfortable.
