Microquilt vs. pillowtop mattress UPDATED POST!!!!!!

UPDATE!!! 

Micro-quilting is essentially a stitched design on top of the mattress used to attach the materials to the different layers of fillings below it. The ultimate benefit of this technique is that it adds a lovely look to the mattress, so it will look great on top of your bed!

Looking at getting a new mattress for a Divan bed. What is the difference  between a Pillowtop & a Microquilt mattress? We have a memory foam at  the moment, but not sure if we should change.

Hi Lizzy,
Microquilt seems to be a uniquely UK term. From what I can see, it looks to mean a cover with a thin quilt.
It's not a term used here, in the US. Your question assumes a difference between microquilt and pillowtop. 
In the US, a mattress either has a pillowtop or it doesn't. The ones that don't are called tight tops.
Perhaps microquilt is your British term for our tight top. 
Pillowtops lose their shape more quickly than their tight top counterparts.
