Abstract
A removable pillow top for use as the top member of a bed protects the inner spring bed mattress. The pillow top has a cover, a support member, and a cushion. The cover has top and bottom walls and side walls coupled together to form an interior space for receiving the support member and the cushion. The support member is made of foam and has a bottom wall and side walls forming a shallow cavity for receiving the cushion. The cover has a closable opening for allowing insertion and removal of the support member and the cushion. The bottom wall of the cover has fasteners for removable coupling with fasteners on the top surface of the inner spring mattress. If soiled, the pillow top is removed from the protected inner spring mattress and cleaned. To clean the pillow top, the support member and cushion can be removed for cleaning and replaced.
