Brenham 2.0 Medium Tight Top

Get an innerspring mattress with a nice comfort layer. Go to mattress stores and try out mattresses. Then buy one during an upcoming sale. I’m 5’3”, 200 lbs for reference. I finally found one I like at Mattress Firm. Sealy Posturepedic Elite Brenham 2 Medium tight top. I’m a side and back sleeper.

Just understand that in Sealy language, certain titles mean certain things. For instance anything in the elite series has their best support coil system and it's multi zoned. Those are good things. What you want to consider though is the different types of elites as that will mean a different feel in the top layers. The Hybrid top from Sealy is very thick layers of memory foam and it will sink in and feel like it kind of wraps around you a bit. Some people like that, I hate it. The Euro tops you have experienced and are a bit more cushion but can sleep warmer and the top tends to be the first point of failure after some years. Personally, I like the quilt tops much better. They still have some foam at the top but not nearly as much memory foam, you don't sink in as much but you can still get medium feel instead of firm. Overall I think the elite series from Sealy are really solid choice...just pick the right firmness and the right type of top (Hybrid, Euro, and quilt) This would be my choice at Mattress Warehouse.

I have a Sealy tight top (not sure which model) which I'm pretty happy with. I decided to avoid getting a pillow top, since I could create one myself later if I need one by adding a mattress topper.

Just pulled the trigger on a Sealy Elite Brenham 2 Medium in a Cal King. I wanted to avoid the pillowtop, since it was on my prev 2016 Beautyrest Black that lasted for 9 years. Brenham felt nice in the showroom, albeit 'pre-broken in' and I was looking for a Medium Firm than Medium. Sales manager said it would feel firmer with the Tempurpedic box frames (which have the flat boards on top), so I got those too. Anyone curious I'm happy to report back. Looking fwd to this new mattress!

After 5 days I returned the Brenham! While plenty of foam and comfy, it's not for hot sleepers. Partner said xnay. Traded it in for a clearance Beautyrest Black Series 3 Medium, a MUCH cooler mattress. You rest more on top of the mattress than sinking into it. Beautyrests have a decent layer of latex that helps w the cooling. None of the Sealys I know of have latex. Wish I knew that from the start, but finally landed on the right mattress. 👍

I recently ordered a Queen Sealy Elite Brenham in Medium. Got it clearance ordered from the warehouse with a 5 year warranty but no return policy, plus a box spring, for about $1300 including tax. It’s supposed to be here Wednesday, weather permitting. All in all if it’s not absolutely terrible I think I’ll be happy with it just for the price, even the comparable Costco Sealy would’ve been about the same once I added a box spring and I couldn’t test that one out in person. What do you think of the Brenham? Couldn’t find a ton of reviews on it other than either people loving it or thinking it sleeps a little hot.

tomorrow is when I get mine delivered (checking out reviews/info after purchasing so I didn't go in with preconceptions) but I also sleep heavy, have a ton of back pain, and toss and turn. something has to be better than my 8 year old mattress at this point. 

I did get the brenham 2, quilted/pillow top medium. I am kind of surprised I didn't end up in something softer, but it has been great. in general my sleep has been better and I no longer have hip pain which is nice. my back pain is going to happen no matter what, but in general it's better than it was. i am still used to a smaller and more worn out mattress, so that support has been nice. it has been kind of annoying trying to get sheets with a big enough space for how tall the mattress is, and I didn't really factor in getting new sheets when getting a larger mattress. I wish I didn't get ~$100 full sheets a couple months ago. 

Do you think the Brenham PT Medium is comparable to the High Point Hybrid Soft in general feel? Asking bc I have the HP Hybrid Soft and it's too sinky/doughy, yet also causes some shoulder pressure. I just tried the Brenham PT Medium and it felt more normal in store. But wondering if it will feel roughly the same as the HP once I am sleeping on it (if I was to do an exchange). I.e., I'd rather not go through hassle of exchange if I am effectively getting the same mattress again.
