What’s a 7-Zoned Mattress? Plus: Eurotop vs Pillow Top  What’s the Difference?

We get it shopping for a mattress shouldn’t feel like decoding a user manual. With all the confusing words out there (7-zoned, Eurotop, Pillow Top, memory foam…), it can start to feel a bit overwhelming.

So let’s keep it simple. Here’s what you actually need to know about 7-zoned mattresses, and the difference between two of our mattress types: Eurotop and Pillow Top.

🛏️ First Up — What’s a 7-Zoned Mattress?

A 7-zoned mattress is all about supporting different parts of your body properly. Because, let’s be honest your shoulders and your hips need different things from a mattress, right?

Each of the seven zones is designed to provide the right amount of support or softness for the area it's under:

  • Head & neck – gentle support

  • Shoulders – slightly firmer to keep your spine aligned

  • Lower back – extra support where you need it most

  • Hips – cushioned but supported

  • Thighs, knees, legs, feet – balanced comfort all the way down

It’s basically like a mattress that knows your body no weird sinking, no pressure in the wrong places. Just proper, full body support.

 Bamboo Fabric A Better Sleep.

All our mattresses come with a luxuriously soft bamboo fabric cover, and we’re pretty proud of that. Not only does it feel amazing to lie on, but it’s also packed with natural benefits:

  • Super breathable – Helps keep you cool and dry, especially during warmer nights

  • Hypoallergenic – A great option if you suffer from allergies, asthma, or sensitive skin

  • Naturally antibacterial – Resists odours, dust mites, and bacteria

  • Eco-friendly – Bamboo grows quickly, uses less water, and is fully sustainable

So yup, your mattress cover isn’t just comfy  it’s doing a bit of behind the scenes magic for your health and comfort.

Eurotop Mattress: Medium-Firm and Balanced

Our Eurotop mattress has a sleek, stitched on top layer that blends right into the mattress no puff or extra padding sitting on top, just a smooth, supportive feel.

This one’s medium-firm, which makes it a great all rounder if you:

  • Sleep on your back or stomach

  • Like a bit of bounce and structure

  • Don’t want something too soft, but don’t want a rock either

  • Prefer a mattress that holds its shape and gives you support right where you need it

It’s the “just right” feel a lot of people are after firm enough for support, but still comfy enough to relax into.

☁️ Pillow Top Mattress: Medium-Soft with Cloud-Like Comfort

Our Pillow Top mattress is all about that soft, cozy feel with a plush layer of memory foam stitched on top like, well… a pillow!

This one’s medium-soft, and it’s ideal if you:

  • Sleep on your side

  • Like to feel cushioned and cradled

  • Want that sink in memory foam feel

  • Are after a bed that feels a bit more luxurious and snuggly

It’s super comfy, but still built on that same 7-zoned base, so you’re not losing out on proper support.
