[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If I could give a sixth star, this would get it. I am thoroughly in love with this mattress already, so let me get into why.
I caught summer cold prior to getting this thing delivered and the delivery service was impeccable. They offered to remove my old bed but my sister has need of a guest bed so I’m giving it to her but it’s a nice touch with services. The two guys were really friendly and delivered it where I asked, up a flight of stairs with no problem. And this sucker is NOT light! I was definitely nervous about having people deliver in my home but it was a very pleasant experience.
In order to accommodate the new mattress I had to first build a dresser and a bed frame for the shared space but since I was sick, this giant mattress was confined to standing up on its nice thick 16” side (wow). Still, I wasn’t prepared for just HOW thick that was once on my 12” no box spring frame. My old mattress had two pillow toppers and was still much shorter. I don’t hate the extra height one bit; sliding into bed is even better now!
After a long day of prepping to finally get it into a functional bed? All I had the energy for was showering and tucking into the newly made bed and WOW. Just… WOW. I was feeling some pretty severe back pain crawling into bed but it seemed to melt away within minutes of just lying there. The support is just phenomenal! Even when turning when aches tend to be more telling, no painful pinching. And the medium firmness is just perfect for me too (combination back and side sleeper), just the right amount of slight sinking but well on top of the mattress so turning is so much easier.
The built-in pillow topper is plush to the touch, but again, part of the luscious support that makes this a dream to sleep on. Within minutes, I was out for the count for a solid four hour nap and when I got up, I could walk around without the usual punishing back pain that comes from strenuous work (it always takes a rest to see just how bad those muscle aches can be). I mean, I can’t say it’s medically accurate, but from this personal experience, I can certainly say the right mattress might save you a few trips to the hospital. Get that support at home and it makes all the difference!
A full night’s rest? It only got better. I can fall asleep and stay asleep and wake up feeling refreshed! I thought my health issues and age were just factors that doomed me to those days being behind me and am among many in awe of how much your mattress might be the thing to blame.
I used to just grab a cheap mattress on sale and get what years I could out of it before the next. This Sealy Posturepedic Elite Brenham II Springtop mattress in Queen (medium firmness) made me a convert for the benefit and cost of real quality. I get why this is a brand you always hear is one of the best. Even in a lineup of staunch competitors, I feel like it just can’t get better than this. I truly look forward to caring for this mattress to get the absolute best out of it in the decade to come. And planning to make sure its replacement is yet another Sealy. Quite frankly, if it does get better than this, I’d love to stick with them and find out!
