I love a pillow-top mattress. Although, some can be too soft. This mattress set, with pillow-top, is incredible - NO transfer motion. You can get in/out of bed, and there is no motion anywhere else on this mattress, except where the motion is taking place. I Love this set. This mattress set is beautiful, as well as functional. The exterior of the box spring and mattress is covered in a beautiful material in a Taupe color. I was leery to purchase a mattress set online, but, very happy I did. This mattress set is firm, which is good for my back. Again, I love this set. Glad I took the chance.
