Sealy Posturepedic (not Essentials) Typically firm If it was from MF, it'd be the Ashurst Firm If I knew what the Posturepedic Plus or Pro felt like (not on our stores floor) the The Albany Firm is perfect for a lot of my bigger guests. Its currently $2199 in a king.. Reasoning: Sealy has made beds since the 1890s, and I very seldom have a customer that ever had a bad taste in their mouth over it. All of the ones mentioned use individually wrapped coils. The edge support compared to other comparable priced brands is significantly better Basically the Toyota of the bedding world, whereas Stearns & Foster would be more like Lexus. Firm for bigger people is a generalization, as typically you need less artificial padding than other folks. They don't come rolled in boxes, which means they generally use denser materials. Not 100% why Amazon is your current preferred retailer but if you message me, im usually fairly good at making us equal if not us better for customers.
I bought the firmest full size available at Sam's, think it's a Sealy. Added a topper and it has been great.
I’m 5’8” 320 lbs and I’m a side sleeper. Memory foam mattresses always start forming that dip for where I lay after 6mos-1year. I got tired of buying new ones so I finally got a hybrid, spring and memory foam from Costco. Sealy Posturepedic 12" Hybrid Mattress. Best mattress I’ve ever owned. I’ve had it a year and a half now and there’s no sign of a dip forming. It’s comfortable for my hips. And the best part, if you hate it you can easily return it! I don’t like returning things unless I have to but spending money on a mattress that lasts less than a year, yeah I’ll return that if I can for sure. Definitely recommend if you prefer a medium firm bed!
I was on Sealy Tempurpedic hybrid firm. It was great support but I had been having pressure point soreness on my hips in the mornings. I alternate between side and back but it's predominately side. I'm 6' 1", 235. My partner and I needed to upgrade to a king. We found a great deal on the Casper at Costco ($600). It's softer than I need for my back support but not as soft as a plush pillow top would be.
I'm 40 wake up fine most morning have a hybrid firm, coil on the bottom and a 2-3" cooling gel layer on top. Think it's a sealy
I'm 5'1, 130 lbs. I chose the Sealy Hybrid firm that has the cooling gel. I'm one month in. I am a side sleeper. I chose firm bc i have rib issues in the past and too soft feels terrible. I'm afraid this is too firm. How do I know? Is your shoulder supposed to sink into the mattress when you're on your side? How much longer do i wait to know if this is the right one for me? Will it soften over time?
I have 90 days total. I don't feel joint pain, but muscle pain sometimes towards my lower back. It goes away within the hour of getting up.
My mattress is stupid expensive $3,000 sealy hybrid from Mattress Firm, but goddamn that thing is the comfiest bed I’ve ever had. Everyone loves it. My mom, my kids… EVERYONE! I’m fairly frugal but I think beds are worth splurging on. Sleep is SO important.
I would say definitely buy from Costco. They will most likely NOT remove old mattress. However where Costco usually shines is their return policy. If you order online. They will come and deliver your mattress. My daughter’s mattress completely failed, (seally hybrid queen). Costco was notified about the sides collapsed. Her mattress was picked up and her account refunded in less than 2 weeks. Zero Hassle
