Sealy Posturepedic
Click to see Sealy Posturepedic on Amazon

The name Sealy came from the town of Sealy in Texas where a man by the name of Daniel Haynes started making mattresses from pressed cotton in the 1880’s.  Sealy Corporation is the largest bedding manufacturer in North America and sells through some 7000 retail outlets.  It is well known for it’s Posturepedic line of mattresses which was first introduced in 1950.    [REF Sealy Mattress Reviews 2010]

Pricing for a Sealy Posturepedic queen set today ranges from $499 to $2199 in the US but depends on the retailer.  There are 3 different series at this time – Preferred, Reserve and Signature.

The Preferred (queen) has a coil count of 736, sculpted foam pressure relief inlays.

The Reserve (queen) has a coil count of 782, combined memory foam and sculpted foam pressure relief inlays and stronger mattress perimeter support than the Preferred model.

The Signature (queen) has a coil count of 782, combined memory foam latex pressure relief inlays, posture channels to help support lumbar region and back of the legs and stronger mattress perimeter support than the Preferred model.  You can view a large selection of Sealy Posturepedic Mattresses at Amazon.

The Sealy Posturepedic mattress can be purchased in a range of sizes and comfort levels.  Sizes range from Twin to the larger California King:

- Twin
- Twin Extra Long
- Full
- Full Extra Long
- Queen
- Split Queen
- King
- California King

Boxsprings are also available and come in a standard 9-inch height or a low-profile 5-inch height.

Comfort levels one can choose from include:

- Firm (substantial support)
- Cushion Firm (substantial support but with quilted softness)
- Plush (soft cushioning surface)
- Ultra Plush (enveloping softness)

Sealy also created an Orthopedic Advisory Board in 2006.  The board is comprised of orthopedic surgeons, researchers and the like.  Sealy claims that with the help of this board they have managed to create a “revolutionary push-back support system” that they use on all the new Sealy Posturepedic mattresses.  This system apparently distributes weight away from the heavier parts of the human body thereby relieving pressure from these areas.

What are consumers saying about the Sealy Posturepedic Mattress?

Epinions gives the Sealy Posturepedic Mattress 3 out of 5 stars – out of a total of 62 reviews.  Those that rated the mattress highly pointed out items such as free delivery, a feeling of support all over, and that the mattress was very comfortable.  The cons mentioned by those that purchased the mattress include that the mattress is very heavy, the warranty is one-sided, and that body indentations are created after a short while.  The Ciao website has only 2 reviews and gives the Sealy Posturepedic 5 stars out of 5.

There is also a Sealy Baby Posturepedic mattress that gets very good reviews.  Epinions has 12 reviews and consumers have rated this mattress 5 stars out of 5, while Amazon has 5 reviews and rate it 4.2 stars out of 5.  This is a fairly firm mattress with 220 coils, strong edge support (uses steel border rods) and a triple laminate fabric and non-allergenic sleeping surface.  The farbric protects against bacteria, mold, mildew and wetness.

My sealy mattress which is firm
is getting mushy after only one yr.
The co I bought it from and Sealy

filing a claim. This is not what
it used to be

I recently purchased a Sealy mattress and have had problems with the springs popping since day one. When you get out of bed, the springs pop up to 30 seconds after getting up. Very annoying in the middle of the night.
Sealy has replaced the box springs but the springs still pop. The store says they will work with me to exchange the mattress for a different brand.

I have never had shoulder or elbow pain until I bought a Sealy Posturpedic box spring and mattress. I noticed the pain after sleeping on my new mattress. The warranty has expired so I will be purchasing a feather bed so I can relieve my shoulder pain.

Prospective buyer beware! The warranty is null and void if there is the slightest transfer of dye from a protective sheet. The mattress is prone to Body impressions exceeding 2inches. If you can live with this ripoff, then buy it. (6-27-11)

At our home in Hua Hun, Thailand we have two Sealy mattresses. Our master bed has a posturepedic emperor and we have been sleeping on it fir five years now. It is the most comfortable bed to sleep in and we have not had any problems with it at all. Our guest room has a Sealy posturepedic and our guests always coment on how well they have slept and how comfortable the mattress is.

We've had to trade our Sealy mattress three times and it still has the same problem - there is a ridge down the middle and a gully on each side of the mattress where we sleep. It's the most painful mattress ever and has ruined my life. Is there no way to get my money back?

If you have a problem with the mattress, contact the store and manufacturer immediately. Timeliness is important. Also, contact your credit card company. AMEX gives you your money back. Visa and MC are usually not great but can be of help sometimes. Never buy a mattress in the future w/o AMEX. They help with the warranty. Dept stores are also better than mattress chains for customer service.

Sealy mattresses have been my family for generations. I only had one problem with a mattress and my retailer stated that my mattress warranty was void if thier was a stain on the mattress. I contacted sealy consumer support and they told me that was incorrect that stains do not void the warranty and they put the retailer in check and I got my replacement. I really love Sealy mattresses, even though I have one bad mattress the Sealy warranty department really made me feel like they care about me and my situation. This was 2 years ago and my replacement mattress is great. I will continue to purchase Sealy.

I have and am still sleeping on a 40 year old Sealy posturepedic! It has stayed firm with no problems except the fabric is worn now so I am looking for a new mattress. I don't like that the new mattresses have so much foam in them, I get too hot just lying on one for a few minutes in the store. More cotton layers on the top would be nice.

My husband and I just purchased our first Sealy posturepedic top of the line mattress from Leon's in Ontario, Canada. After just sleeping on it for two nights we have realized that it is too firm and will be returning it for a more plush model.

We love the mattress other than the popping noise that is so loud it will wake you up out of a dead sleep and is progressively getting worse, contacted Sealy Manufacturer and they want you to go through the dealer first, it has been 3 years at least since bought so I am probably gonna be stuck with it
