Replacing a Sealy Posturepedic Forest Hush Mattress

Katie of Olympia, WA, writes:
Dear Peter,
My husband and I purchased a Sealy Posturepedic kingsize Forest Hush mattress in December '06. It has since developed large uncomfortable depressions on each side which the store's inspector has determined to be legitimate flaws and the store will be exchanging it. My question is, what would be a better alternative for us? We're pretty average sizes - my husband is 6'1" about 210 lbs and I'm 5'6" about 130lbs. This is the second mattress we've had that we've had to exchange for the "butt divot" problem. Should we be looking for a particular type of construction to avoid this? Any recommendations would be helpful. Thanks.

Hi Katie, I assume you got the plush pillowtop. Body impressions are to be expected with any mattress. They tend to be deeper with the thcker, plusher pillowtops. If you can make yourself comfortable on a mattress that is less plush and without the pillowtop, you'll experience less in the way of body impressions. You might want to cosider a firmer mattress along with a latex topper. Latex toppers are very comfortable, last a long time and when you do replace it, the mattress will still be in good shape. Also, rotate your mattress 1/4 turn every month. A king is square enough to do that. The padding will settle more evenly and the mattress will stay more comfortable, longer.

An Important Note: 

Any kind of moisture, be it from spills, accidents or perspiration causes a mattress to wear prematurely.
