Sealy latex Mattress Recommendation

September 4, 2009

From James -
I am interested in purchasing a new King mattress. I believe my comfort zone is 7-8. I prefer a soft mattress as long as it supports my lower back appropriately. I do experience lower back pain if my mattress is uncomfortable. I was look at the Sealy Autumn Prairie that you have on sale. I did notice that the latex mattresses did not get very good reviews.
Is this one that you would recommend? Perhaps, you could recommend others in that price range that I should consider. Thank you

Hi James,

Thank you for contacting www.us-mattress.com
We sell hundreds of latex mattresses per year and unfortunately, not many people review them on our site. The Autumn Prairie is new to our site and is quite comparable to the Sealy Meadowcrest ultra plush, but with a much better price. I can certainly recommend the Autumn Prairie if you would like a mattress that is on the softer side, but still quite supportive. I hope this helped, but if you would like to speak with one of our sales associates, please feel free to give us a call by dialing 1 800 455 1052.

Made in the USA Firm Mattress Recommendation

August 26, 2009

From Scott -
My wife and I have been using a latex mattress over a wood slate European system for about 7 years. The slates have adjustments for tension. We have liked this bed but my wife has developed recently back problems
which seem to be less when she sleeps on a more traditional “firm” mattress. She noted this when she stayed in hotels on a cross country car trip.

We have a California King sized bed. We plan to use the slats to support the new mattress without a box spring. I have a few questions:

Do you have any recommendations for a high quality mattress that is firm. I would guess that it should be something like what average hotels would order for their typical bedding in terms of the degree of firmness. Price is not a significant issue if the money spent is for real benefit.

Where are Stearns and Foster mattresses made? Are the materials that go into them from this country? Are the mattresses reversible?

Hi Scott,
All of our mattress brands, Stearns & Foster, Sealy, Simmons, Serta and Spring Air, are manufactured here in the US. As far as a good mattress for your wife’s needs and her back issues, you are on the right track going for a firm, or a luxury firm model rather than a plush or a pillow top.

On our website we have a comfort scale, 1 being the firmest and 10 being the softest, so I would suggest staying in the 3-5 range in order to have some comfort but still a firm support system. One Stearns & Foster mattress that has a 3.5 comfort rating is the Robson Street Luxury Firm in their 2009 Core Collection.

Another good option is the top of the line Sealy and that would be in their Signature Collection. That mattress is called the Shadow Dream Luxury Firm and is a 4 on the comfort scale.

Sealy Hope Mills for a Youth

July 28, 2009

From Jeanne -
I am a repeat customer, My husband and I ordered a Sealy Signature Greenhurst last year. I am looking at the full sized mattresses for my son.

I want a great mattress with lots of support, as he will be a full sized young man. But, I am interested in a lower priced Mattress. We can’t spend a small fortune.

Do you recommend this Sealy Hope Mills? They seem to have the better Sealy coils (640 14 guage posturetech coils), at a more reasonable price. Or, do you have any other recommendations?

My question about these two Sealy Hope Mills mattresses:
It is hard to determine whether to order the Firm or the Cushion Firm.
They both have similar layers of cushioning. But, with different materials.

Which mattress has the longer lasting, most supportive cushioning layers.

Hi Jeanne,
The Hope Mills is a great mattress, one that our customers have been very happy with, offers great support, and one that I can highly recommend. Depending on the age of your son, I would recommend the cushion firm over the firm as a mattress that is too firm can throw off spinal alignment in young adults who are younger than 10 years old. Cushion firms provide excellent support while simultaneously offering a bit of cushion to properly contour your lower back.

Mattress Recommendation

July 1, 2009

From Steve -
I am trying to decide between a Beautyrest Lusaka Visco Plush and the Sealy Greenhurst Plush. I sleep on a 9 year old world class (but don’t know the name of it) that feels fairly firm and love it.

I sleep on a friends mattress about 40 nights a year which is a Sealy (but I don’t know the name of it) and it is comfortable too. I am upgrading from a queen bed to a king bed and want to make the right decision.

Which of the two listed is best…or do you have a different recommendation?

Hi Steve,
It depends on a couple of factors. First, if you’re planning on going with a queen size, the Simmons will be better due to the individually pocketed coil. Simmons designs their mattresses to provide excellent support as well as durability when 2 people are sleeping on a queen size whereas a Sealy can develop a slope towards the center. If you are going to go with a king size then either manufacturer is great.

If I had to choose, I would probably go with the Simmons but that is just because I am a light sleeper and Simmons offers motion separation to keep me from feel my wife’s incessant tossing and turning. If that isn’t an issue for you, then generally speaking, you will get a longer lifespan from a king size Sealy due to their incredibly durable innerspring system. But again, both are great manufacturers and carry the same 10 year warranty.

I hope this helped answer your questions, but if you would like to speak with a member of our sales team, please feel free to contact us by dialing 1 800 455 1052.

Our Experts can help…

May 20, 2009

From Katie -

I need a queen size mattress but I don’t know what’s best for me. My lower back isn’t good and can sometimes cause me problems, but I like a softer feeling mattress.  I looked at a few different mattresses on your site and thought they might be good:

Sealy Gem Turquoise Plush Pillowtop
Serta Sertapedic Heiress Euro Top
Sealy Graceful Plush Euro Top
Simmons DeepSleep Mount Princeton Pillowtop
I’m an average size woman, what would you recommend?

Hi Katie,
My best suggestion is to go to a local mattress store and try some different mattresses until you find something that feels good to you. We can then match whatever model you find if you have the specifications of the mattress (size, coil count, foam). It is very difficult to recommend a mattress with the information that you have given me.

I usually recommend something that has a medium level of firmness for people with pain in the lower back, although you did say that you prefer a softer mattress. It is best to choose a mattress that is just soft enough to be comfortable while still offering some good firm support would be the best choice.  The four mattresses that you have listed below are all too soft in my opinion, if you have a problem with your lower back.
You would be better suited to a firmer mattress such as the Vast Sky Plush mattress set by Sealy or the Serta Elite Calm Pillow Soft.

Please call us at 1-800-455-1052 if you have any other questions, we will be happy to help you.

Toddler Mattress Recommendations

May 7, 2009

From Serge -
I was hoping to get some guidance on a mattress for my 2 year old son. I am looking for a decent quality bed and am torn between the idea of firm vs. plush beds.  I have read on some posts saying for a young child’s spinal development that it should be a firm bed and was wondering if there was any truth to this?

I was looking at something like a Sealy euro-top type bed in a firm or plush. Do you have any suggestions?

Hi Serge,

Yes, you should avoid getting a very soft, cushy mattress for a young child, like a Pillowtop or Euro Top. You can get a firm or plush. Plush is a neutral feel and would not hurt a child’s development in any way.

In the Sealy line-up, we recommend either the Sealy Eaglewood Plush or Cushion Firm for young children.

If you’d like to try a different brand or have other questions and want to speak to one of our experts for more recommendations, you can call us at 1-800-455-1052.
