Not a true pillow top, they put the stitching in there, but the springs extend past the lower tier and up into the pillow top area. There is no foam or support on the edges of the mattress to you can feel and manipulate the springs by hand. I would consider this mattress a complete waste of money. It is of the lowest quality. The inner springs aren’t pocketed so if there are two people sleeping on it, it will shake the whole bed.
