Amongst the mattress manufacturers, Sealy is a highly renowned name and has been available for a very long time, perhaps longer than most other names. Many reviews reward them a fairly good score. The overall opinion is that it’s a good quality mattress, though overpriced to some extent. So what’s the worth of your money if you buy a Sealy Posturepedic mattress?
First of all, Sealy Posturepedic does not mean one kind of a mattress. It’s more of a generic term used for a range of the company’s mattresses. The one thing common to all these mattresses is the inclusion of the Sealy Comfort System, comprising of these elements: most advanced inner spring available that provides correct orthopedic support, advanced Comfort Materials and UniCased Edge Design.
Here’s a very interesting feature of mattress manufacturing. Every mattress manufacturer claims that the springs needed in their mattresses are the best available but the fact of the matter is that most of the renowned cheap mattress companies (there may be odd exceptions) depend on the same one company for their requirement of coils, the Leggett and Platt, for their highest-end mattresses down to their lowest. Then we have manufacturers who claim to position their coils in such a manner that give you the best orthopedic support – I t simply means that they use more number of coils, or coils of thicker gauge beneath the shoulder and hip area.
The Sealy Posturepedic mattress includes a UniCased Edge Design, making it firmer around the edges so that your weight can’t push the mattress out sideways, thus providing you more support. I don’t find this to be a unique feature as most of the quality mattresses do have some sort of support at the edges.
The company suggests that while buying a Sealy Posturepedic you also get the box spring set that goes with the mattress, which acts like a big shock absorber, providing still more comfort to the user. But that explanation is a bit difficult to understand. Why have springs on top of springs? The coils in the mattress are certainly expected to be good enough to provide the needed comfort and support. The inclusion of extra coils seems to be superfluous, simply adding to the cost of the final product and generating more revenue for the manufacturer. Most Europeans employ platform beds without any box spring set – and we hardly ever hear them complaining about inadequate support or comfort.
The company maintains that it uses hypoallergenic and flame resistant materials, but so do all the companies!
Primarily there are three models of the Sealy Posturepedic range; the Posturepedic, the features of which are described above; the Body Series, which is said to be the most luxurious of the entire range; and the Reserve Collection that comes with a memory foam layer on top of the mattress.
If you find the above review of Sealy Posturepedic to be insufficient, you can have additional detailed reviews on the net and from many others who already purchased the mattress. Most hole the opinion that the mattress is pretty comfortable, though somewhat expensive.
