From Annette -
I am having trouble deciding between mattresses. I am 34 years old and have arthritis of the back. I sleep on my side mainly and my husband sleeps on his stomach most of the time. Sealy recommends the Latx/Memory Foam for me and a Sealy Posturpedic for my husband. I enjoy a softer mattress. We both prefer a bed on the softer side but am afraid of getting something that would feel too soft. Is there anything that you could reccomend for both of us?
Hi Annette,
We would recommend the Sealy Spring Free latex line. It offers excellent pressure reduction for sensitive pressure points while still providing excellent support. You might consider visiting www.sealy.com to locate a store in your area that carries Spring Free so you can identify a mattress that has the comfort that is not too hard or too soft. Every store carries the same mattress with a different name. Once you find a mattress with the comfort you like give us a call so we tell you which one is the same at our or store, and you can then compare prices.

From Elena -
I am allergic to natural latex… is this compound in mattresses??
Hi Elena,
The latex that is used in mattresses goes through a process in which it is washed with soap and water, this strips the “touch sensitive” impurities that some people are allergic to.
However, if you’re still nervous about latex allergies, there are plenty of mattresses which don’t feature any latex. You can call us at 1-800-455-1052 to speak with a mattress expert and they can tell you exactly what’s in each mattress.

From Patricia -
I am highly allergic to latex and require a latex-free bed. Please provide me with information on all products that are latex-free.
Hi Patricia,
You actually have many possibilities on our website, too many to list here.
All the Sealy Posturepedic Preferred and Reserve models, many Serta’s and Simmons do not use Latex.
You can read through the specifications of each mattress on our site to make sure the one you’re interested in will be latex free. If you want to double check or just would like some more information, please call our Sales Department at 1-800-455-1052 and we can help find a latex free mattress that will work for you.

From Jack in Charlotte, NC -
Is the Serta Pure Response Splendour mattress need a dust mite cover?
Hi Jack-
The latex in the mattress is antimicrobial and dust mite resistant, however there are other foam layers in the mattress which are not. So yes, if you want to resist dust mite growth in the other foam layers of the mattress, you would need a waterproof type of cover like the ProtectABed Premium Mattress Protector.
