Sealy Posturepedic Carver 11” Firm. In my opinion, it is extra firm. It has absolutely no give. When I first got it, I thought it might have a break- in period but nope.
We bought one too and are pretty happy with it. Our last mattress was a $5k class mattress which was a hugely well made piece, but after many years got too lumpy. The Sealy is holding up very well. I do make a point of not sitting on the edge as the edge seems to give too much. As it is it very firm out to the edge after 3 years use.
I bought the Novaform "firm" hybrid mattress on the basis of Wirecutter reviews and after a lifetime of sleeping on firm innersprings the memory foam is just a little too soft. I'm a back and side sleeper. Have tried the Sealy Carver innerspring firm mattress I bought my dad and I wound up preferring that.
The executive membership for delivery and take away was worth every penny, though.
I got a basic firm sealy (or serta?) spring mattress and use with a latex topper. I’ve been following this sub for a while and think this is the best advice. Basically build your own bed on top of a firm foundation. I’d rather throw away $200-$300 on the wrong latex topper than $3000-$4000 on the wrong mattress.
