Sealy Mattress that we Purchased in 2015.

Hello Pete,

I found your site while looking into our Sealy mattress that we purchased in 2015.  

Since then I've had significant ongoing issues, skin rashes, fatigue, irritability, mood swings and general unwell feeling.

I've been to many doctors and explored all avenues I could but now I believe it's due to the mattress.  

I'm 5' 8'' and about 140 lbs. He's about 6' and 165 lbs.

What do you recommend for replacement?  

Also, is there any way to know for sure what was in this particular mattress?

Thank, Li

 

Hi Li,

Sealy was purchased by Tempurpedic in 2013.

All of their mattresses are upholstered with memory foam.

Memory foam is made of 61 different chemicals, some of which are highly toxic.

You are, no doubt, reacting to the chemical off gassing.

Some people are more sensitive to these chemicals than others.

 

Since you are, both, so slender, either of these Pocketed Coil/ Latex Hybrid Mattresses will work well for you.

We recommend using a waterproof mattress protector with every mattress.

Keeping the upholstery materials clean and dry will extend the life of the mattress.

Mattress at the Comfort Inn Hotel?

 

Hi Pete,

I was searching the internet for the mattress purchased by Comfort Inn. 

I saw a response, but it was from 2012, stating most hotels purchase Sealy, Serta and Simmons.

With the post being 7 years old, I was wondering if this is still true? 

I am looking to purchase a new mattress in the next month and slept very well there.

Thanks, Kim

 

Hi Kim,

Sealy, Simmons and Serta dominate the hotel industry.

The last time I checked, Comfort Inn had Sealy.

Sheraton switched from Sealy Posturepedic to Simmons Beautyrest, in the wake of Sealy being sold to Tempurpedic.

The larger, better hotels will, usually, use Sealy or Simmons.

I find that many of the lower end motels will use Serta.

 

Whatever you find in hotels can no longer be found at retail stores.

The model names for each mattress will be different at every store, and every hotel...making shopping difficult.

 

The best way to shop is by comparing the specifications....a list of the materials used in the mattress.

Get that info from the hotel who's mattress you like, and compare that list of specifications to other mattresses.

It's a bit of a chore. Or, you can buy the mattress from the hotel...in many cases.

 

 

 

 

VERY IMPORTANT:

Keeping your mattress clean and dry will increase longevity.

Use our Organic Cotton Waterproof Mattress Protector.

Natura Bourdolay Natural Plush Latex to Replace a Sealy Memory Foam Mattress.

Cynthia writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I am a 355 lb woman. 

I replaced my coil mattress, approximately two years ago, with a Sealy memory foam mattress and an adjustable bed frame. 

As memory foam does it conformed to my body creating a mold and a significant indentation in my mattress. 

I now sleep at a slope which is uncomfortable and causes me severe knee pain each night. 

I was diagnosed, recently, with severe knee arthritis in both knees. 

I think the firmness of the foam is playing a role in aggravating the knee pain.
My most significant and ongoing concern is that I barely sleep each night. 

This has been going on for 2+ years, and I am physically exhausted.
I need a mattress that will support my weight and not cause a slope or hole. 

BUT, it must be soft enough not cause knee or hip pain because I sleep on my side. 

If I could use my adjustable bed frame with it that would be a plus. 

I have been looking at all types of reviews on the internet. 

You seemed the most thorough and intelligent. 

I saw a few different recommendations from you and would like to know what you think would be best for me. 

I just want to be able to sleep.
Thank you for your time.
Cynthia

Hi Cynthia,

The name brands, for the most part, have gone bad. What you bought is one of the worst mattresses made.

Memory foam is the worst upholstery material ever invented for use in or as a mattress. 

It's pure junk and absolutely worthless....contrary to all the hype, ads, and sales pitches.

 

There are very few mattresses that will hold your weight for very long. 

The strongest, most durable and most comfortable, is an all latex mattress, made of Natural Talalay Latex.

Latex is and has been the best upholstery material you can buy, anywhere on the planet, for the last 100 years.

An all latex mattress will also work well on your adjustable bed base.

The specific model latex mattress that I recommend for you, is the Natura of Canada Bourdolay Plush.

Simmons Beautyrest Ever-Nu Mattress at the Aloft Hotel.

Shanle writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I recently stayed at an Aloft Hotel in Long Island City and loved the mattress. 

It said Simmons Beautyrest Ever-Nu on it. But, when I asked the hotel they said it was a Serta Heavenly Bed. 

Can you enlighten me on where I can find the Ever-Nu and if there is memory foam in it. 

I am usually completely anti-memory foam.

Thanks, Shanle 

 

Hi Shanle,

Simmons and Serta had been purchased by the same Investment group...hence the hotel's employee's confusion.

"The Heavenly Bed" has always been a Simmons Beautyrest...differently made from that which Serta produces. 

 

 

Ever-Nu refers to the zipper off top, exclusively made for the hospitality industry.

When the top padding is no longer comfortable, the hotels can replace the top only...saving the expense of replacing the entire mattress.

 

The Simmons Beautyrest mattresses, that you can buy at retail stores, are all upholstered with memory foam.

One of the reasons why we still carry some of their mattresses, is because the memory foam Simmons uses does not off gas VOCs.

Also, the individually pocketed coils do a fine job of maintaining the natural alignment of the spine. (THIS is why you liked it so much).

But, memory foam doesn't wear well. So, when we recommend a Simmons Beautyrest, we also recommend a latex topper to go on it.

The latex topper insulates you from the memory foam, and causes the mattress to remain like new for many years.

 

For average weight adults, we recommend the Simmons Beautyrest Platinum Gibson Grove Luxury Firm mattress and a Pure Bliss 2" Plush Talalay Latex Topper.

Here are links to both of those products....showing prices.

If you would like the same kind of mattress, using the same coil system, but upholstered with natural Talalay Latex, and containing NO Memory Foam,

The Natura of Canada Greenspring Mattress is one to consider. My wife and I sleep on their Ultra Plush Model, at home.

The coil count is higher, the coils are stronger and the Natural Talalay Latex is far more comfortable and far more resilient than memory foam.

These mattresses have excellent support, comfort and longevity, even under heavier people.

Problems with a 10 Year Old Bassett Carrington Chase Latex Mattress.

Sue writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I have a 10 year old Carrington Chase latex mattress that I purchased at Bassett Furniture.

It came with a 20 year warranty. But, the store is out of business and I don't know where to file a warranty claim.

 

Also, this mattress has softened over the years and my back is hurting me.

I like a very firm feel. Would one of your firm latex toppers help with that?

Thanks, Sue

 

Hi Sue,

Sealy owned Bassett and used the Carrington Chase label for the Bassett Furniture stores.

Since then, Sealy was purchased by Tempurpedic.

At this point, you will need to file your warranty claim with Tempur-Sealy directly.

Here's a link where you can do that:

https://www.sealy.com/file-warranty-claim/

 

File a Warranty Claim | Sealy Warranty Claim. If you have a question or comment, please contact us using the information below. And be sure to check the FAQs — you may find just the answer you're looking for. www.sealy.com

 

Frankly, you don't need to buy anything to make your mattress firm.

All you need do, is flip it over.

Even though it's a one sided mattress, the underside is firm latex that supports the softer latex and poly foam on top of it.

Once flipped, the firm latex will be on top...providing a very firm feel.

If you like the feel, you don't need to buy anything.

If it's too firm for you, you can then add a Pure Bliss 2" Plush Latex Topper to it for additional surface comfort.

Those are delivered free and there's no sales tax.

Equivalent to an Old Sealy Posturepedic Two Sided Mattress.

Nicole writes:

 

Hi Pete,

My son loves his old two sided Sealy Posturepedic Plush Mattress, which was discontinued a long time ago. 

He grew up on that mattress and we took good care of it. We flipped it regularly and kept it clean. 

Now that he's moving into his own apartment, he'd like to get a queen and we'll keep this old full size for our guestroom. What is an equivalent mattress, especially in terms of the quality & firmness, sold today?

Thanks, Nicole

 

Hi Nicole,

Wow! That mattress is very old. 

Sealy changed from two sided to one sided in 2003.

Ten years later, Sealy was purchased by Tempurpedic. Today, everything they make is upholstered with memory foam.

Memory foam is used, specifically, to keep a mattress from lasting too long. The one you have, has no memory foam in it.

 

There is no equivalent to what you have. But, you can come close to it.

We carry a two sided mattress that uses the same type of upholstery material that is in your mattress.

The Brolynn Plush Two Sided Mattress will satisfy your son...giving him a very similar night's sleep at those he's been used to.

Sealy Posturepedic Signature Endless Sky Mattress.

Anne writes: 

 

Hello Pete,

I am looking for a Sealy Posturepedic Signature Endless Sky mattress in king size.

But, I  can't find one for sale anywhere. Can you help?

Does it go by a different name now? That model is exactly what we need!

Thanks, Anne

 

Hi Anne,

That was a very good mattress, but is no longer available.

In fact, nothing Sealy makes comes close to the quality of that mattress.

Sealy is now owned by Tempurpedic and everything Sealy makes is loaded with memory foam.

Memory foam is the worst upholstery material ever invented.

It performs poorly and off gasses the toxic chemicals from which it's made.

That old Signature Posturepedic has no memory foam in it.

 

To continue to try and match that mattress, is just a waste of your time.

It doesn't exist.

You will have to start from scratch.

And, while you do, keep in mind that in order to make a successful long term purchase, you will need to avoid mattresses made with memory foam.

THIS, will include all the major brands that you sued to be able to trust for quality.

Now that they've all been sold, the investors who bought them, are no longer interested in making a quality product.

So please, be very careful. Salespeople talk about memory foam as if it were the best thing since sliced bread. The reason is because that's where the profit is.

 

 

ALSO IMPORTANT:

I suggest using a waterproof mattress protector with every mattress.

Keeping your mattress clean and dry will greatly extend the life and loft of the upholstery materials inside. Ours sleep cool and make NO Noise.

Best Quality Innerspring Mattress. Natura of Canada Greenspring.

William writes:

 

Hi Pete,

What's the best quality innerspring mattress?

We have been through a few, after having our old one for more than 15 years.

We have recently tried a Sealy Posturepedic, because that's what our old one was.

After that, a Serta and then a Simmons Beautyrest.

They all became uncomfortable within months after they were delivered.

I don't understand. What happened?

Please help me find a good quality mattress that will last, like our old one did.

We want a firm mattress with some softness at the top.

I think we want to stay away from pillowtops.

Thanks, William

 

 

Hi William,

The mattress industry has changed from one of quality to one of profit.

Today, you are very likely to buy a mattress that is designed to need replacing in only a couple/few years. 

It's the memory foam that facilitates this. 

The diabolical part of memory foam, is that it returns to it's original shape when you get out of bed...so that you will not prevail in a warranty claim...rendering the warranties, worthless. 

 

The key is having a mattress with quality components.

The mattress I told you about uses a pre-compressed individually pocketed coil system.

These coils provide contouring support, which maintains the natural alignment of your spine.

The pre-compressed coils provide push back against your spine, which is ideal for disc related back problems.

These Natura of Canada Greenspring mattresses have the highest coil count.

The coils are made of double tempered steel.

The upholstery is natural Talalay Latex...latex being the best upholstery material for the last 100 years.

There are 5 models in the line. Because of the quality and resiliency of the materials used, none of these mattresses are as soft as they sound.

You had asked for a firm mattress that wasn't too hard...a little cushioning.

For that, it would be the Ultra Plush model.

After speaking with your wife, I got the feeling that she would like more softness, without sacrificing the firm support you need.

Since women are curvier, it's at the hip where their sore spot is...especially if they sleep on their sides.

The most popular and the most comfortable, is the Plush EuroTop model, at the top of the page.

A Eurotop is not the same as a Pillowtop.

It will give her the comfort she wants, the firmness you need, and will remain like new for many years...providing the value for your dollar that just is no longer available from any of the name brands.

Simmons Beautyrest Mattress at Sheraton Inn Hotels?

Raj writes:

 

Hi Pete, 

Any idea which specific mattress is used by the Sheraton Inns?

Thanks, Raj

 

Hi Raj,

Mattresses change a little every couple of years.

Even if you were to order your mattress through the hotel, what you’d get will be the latest model...and not, necessarily, the same mattress that was in the room you occupied.

Simmons Beautyrest is the brand of mattress used, but there are many.

Keep in mind that hotels are geared to make their guests comfortable...and are not so concerned about durability.

Hotel rooms get part time use...unlike at home.

A Luxury Firm Beautyrest with a soft latex topper will give you both...comfort and longevity.

A Beautyrest mattress alone, does not wear well.

Reviews for Simmons Beautyrest mattresses are horrible...something you can look up online for yourself.

I can send you links for what will work for you, if you like.

It won’t be what you asked for. What you asked for is a waste of money.

 

Thanks, Pete

 

Hi Pete, 

Thanks for you candid response. 

I am currently using a Sealy Posturepedic pillow top with a 1/4” gel layer and am looking for something a little firmer. 

Any ideas?

Raj

 

Hi Raj,

The problem with all of the name brands, is that they’ve all gone bad...using memory foam for their primary upholstery.

Memory foam isn’t very resilient to start, and is temperature sensitive...which means it softens as it warms from your body heat.

This is not something you feel when trying them at stores.

It wears quickly and is purposely designed to cause a mattress to need frequent replacing.

Conversely, all natural latex foam upholstery is and has been the best upholstery material for the last 100 years.

The mattress we have at home uses an individually pocketed coil unit, like the Simmons Beautyrest. 

It has a higher coil count and the coils are stronger.

What’s more, the upholstery material is latex...with No Memory Foam.

Sealy Posturepedic Pillowtop Mattress Body Impression Problems.

Sean writes:

 

Hi Pete,

We are on our second king size pillowtop since Nov 2015....both, developed severe body impressions.  

The first Sealy Posturepedic began to sink quickly. After many issues with the retailer, they replaced it for $250 with another Sealy  pillowtop. 

After 3 months, we are sleeping on the couch  again. These mattresses sink around your body, you feel like you're  sleeping in a hole. 

We are having the inspection company come out again  to see if it has decreased by an inch and a half. I would never buy a  Sealy Pillowtop again. 

I just found your blog and website tonight. I had no idea that pillowtops were such a problem  

Thanks! Your blog is so helpful, and we feel so helpless with our retailer. 

Sean

 

Hi Sean,

The first thing you need to do is get through the inspection of your mattress successfully. 

Make sure your mattress is free of stains and that your frame, that supports the boxspring, has a center support. 

You can buy a center support separately and add it if it doesn't now have one. 

Both of these things will void your warranty and they are not something you want an inspector to see.

 

Second, an equally important, is the 1.5" sustained depth of the impression. Take a preliminary measurement of the depth as it is. 

Lay a straight edge across the high points of the mattress and measure down to the deepest point, 

(but not into the stitching...to the top of the quilt at the lowest point). If you are exceeding that 1.5" depth, you'll be fine. 

If not, or you find it to be marginal, you will have to insure the results. 

Schedule the inspection for the afternoon. In the morning, upon rising, place a heavy curved object on the bed in at the lowest point of your impression. 

A bowling ball is ideal. When the inspector knocks on your door, remove the object and stash it out of sight...AGAIN, Before you answer the door.

This should insure the results you need to prevail in a warranty claim.

 

While this may appear like cheating, the manufacturer's will take every excuse to deny your claim...and they have an unfair advantage. 

This will level the playing field for you. 

To insure that you don't have to go through all of this again, exchange your mattress for a firm model....then add to it 2" of soft Talalay Latex. 

The latex mattress topper will replace the pillowtop. But unlike the pillowtop, it will keep it's shape...not create an impression...and sleep cool. 

We use the same topper at home on our mattress. It is now several years old and still like new.

Good luck with all of that.
