Posturepedic Pro Highland Manor 13.5" Medium Mattress

I got the Sealy Posturepedic Pro Highland Manor 13" Medium Mattress a few months ago and it's great so far

I bought a $599 stiff Costco mattress (Highland Manor) and a $300 soft latex topper, it’s feeling like a good build for the price.

I bought the Sealy highland manor in warehouse and I fucking love it. I’ll never go back to those bed in a box one’s. I think I’ll probably only buy the spring ones offered in warehouse. I feel like they’re a great value for the money. I paid $500 for a queen

Same. I dumped my after just three years, it sagged so much. Now on Sealy Hybrid from Costco. It’s been a few weeks and it’s so much better.

The Costco versions use less foam to meet a price point. That's why they aren't as tall. There was some speculation that the Costco Pro only used the retail Plus version of the coil system but I haven't seen any proof of that. I just know they are not as tall and therefore use less foam.

Which Sealy Model? The retail pro and elite versions do very well and don't get returned often at all due to the incredible coil system they use. I definitely do not recommend soft mattresses. Both of my contacts at different stores have a lot of returns on Serta, BR and Purple, hardly ever on Elite and Pro series Sealy. Don't sell as many King Koil but very few returns on those as well. Bear in mind things like "Costco" versions are not the same. They are manufactured using cost cutting measures to meet a price point. (Less foam, etc..)

Sorry you went through this. I think probably your biggest mistake was getting the hybrid series of Sealy Elite as they have those thick flat memory foam tops that sink in and trap you and your heat. I hate memory foam mattresses for that reason. The Sealy Elite spring series are more traditional foam over coil and don't sleep nearly as hot or sink in like that. If you do ever try another mattress purchase look for traditional foam over coil with quilt tops. Like a Sealy Elite Brenham II or literally any model that is not thick layers of memory foam on the top. You said you were in MD, I am in PA and I can't say enough about the crew at Gardners Mattress and More in Lancaster, PA. Great store, great owners that are very involved in their community, run a podcast, wrote 2 books on sleep, etc. They carry a bunch of brands with plenty of floor models. Drew was my rep and was great. Good luck and stay away from memory foam :)

Any of the Sealy Mattresses in the "Pro" line will net you Sealy's really good coil system and you can choose your comfort layer feel (Soft, Medium, Firm) and top design (Hybrid, Ero, Quilt). Solid choice... Nothing else at Costco would interest me other than the S&F but have heard about some QA issues with that one.

Run down to your Mattress store and lay on some Sealy Pro or Elite series mattresses. They have one of the best coil support systems. The Elite will have more/thicker foam and some cooling tech, but if it's out of budget grab a Pro series. I recommend medium firmness, spring series, Pro or elite line, and quilt top. Half the price of previous recommendation.

The local retailers that carry helix here (not the big stores but the smaller ones) will give you the sleep trial but under their conditions. For instance one I visited yesterday will allow you to exchange the mattress for anything in the store. Also inventory to "try" is limited. He had two luxes, and one elite. I am driving 2 hours today just so I can lay on a Helix Twilight Elite, because all the other one had was a Midnight Elite. As for the big brands, they are still valid. Sealy Pro and Elite lines have their best coil support system and are good...all the comfort options as well. The Sealy Elite Firm Quilt Top is still in my top 5. I tried the Casper's and Nectars and eliminated them right away. Also eliminated Tempur right away. Eliminated Puffy as well. Eliminated Dreamcloud as well. Interestingly in the one store yesterday they had Diamond Mattress there and their Black Diamond Firm Quilt top was very nice and is now in my top 5. I was shocked as it looks and feels like a Helix Elite series for less money. As for foundations I am considering many...either platform like Xplat, Knickerbocker Platform 360, or the awesome SD Indestruct or traditional foundations like the Big fig one or the Beloit Heavy Duty (lots of slats) or the Terra. Even if I buy more mattresses down the line, I want to do a one and done on the foundation. See if you can find a Diamond Mattress retailer near you...I was really surprised.

For Costco you can pick up a Sealy Posturepedic in Medium that leans a bit firmer. Make sure it's a Pro series not a plus. Helix twilight luxe or Elite is great if you go down that road again. Most of the stuff they make is good quality and they are sources and made in the usa. www.3zbrands.com Your local Mattress stores will have lots of choices for you to try. Sealy/Stearns/Serta.
