Posturepedic® Pro Hybrid Lacey II 13" Firm Mattress

Got a Sealy Posturepedic® Pro Hybrid Lacey II 13" Firm Mattress Queen w/ adjust base for $1500. Felt softer in store but was indeed to firm from me but perfect for the wife. PERLECARE 2 Inch Gel Memory Foam Mattress Topper fixed all the problems . I will never spend more than a thousand on a mattress again . It’s all gimmicks, my $500 mattress in a box was comfortable for years.

Yea the sealy hybrids aren’t the most contouring but they definitely have more foam so more pressure relief and the high point has the phase change. Honestly the Albany and the pro are so similar to each-other I don’t typically floor the Albany I floor the firm and medium pro hybrids exact same coil base and although the foam layers are slightly different they have the same profile I didn’t think the Albany offered enough difference although I do have it on 1 floor but I have 30 sealys on that floor.

The albany is the direct step down and the entry level to the posterpedic elite line it goes ashurst, norman, lacey, albany, brenham, high point in order of quality. The pressure smart line up is a much older line. I like the sealys as the elite lineup (High Point, Brenham, and Albany) and the Lacey reinforces the center third with additional coils they call it their max support technology. The beautyrest pressuresmarts reinforce the center third with foam instead of steel, have a foam encasement instead of edge to edge coils making the center softer then the edges, and have lower quality covers. If you want best quality in a traditional innerspring Sterns and Foster is the answer. They will have 500 more coils then any of the beds listed, foams designed by tempurpedic and much tighter quality control then the other two. The estate line up is close to the same price as well. Stay away from the studio it's a sealy that has carved the face off a sterns and stapled it on.

Douglas sucks real bad unless you like sleeping on a rock... and the customer service is pretty braindead as well so avoid that. Side sleepers... 6', 200lbs... got the Sealy Posturepedic Luxury Lainey model after trying two of the Douglas mattresses (tried my brothers Alpine and actually ordered the Summit). The PLL is a dream! There was a cheaper option in Sleep Country that was pretty good but the feel of this bed STILL amazes me half a year in.

I used to be overweight and was told that as firm as you could bear was best for mattress firmness. I lost the weight several years ago but still preferred firm mattresses out of habit. Now I'm shopping for a new mattress. I've got it down to two, both Posturepedics, a "firm" that you sink down into and a "medium" that you sink less into and actually feels more firm. Honestly, I don't have a strong preference between either of them. I imagine some days I'd prefer the softer one and some days I'd prefer the firmer one. The firmer one is very slightly more expensive; is it still worth it for someone with normal range BMI to go firmer if preference is about the same?

Ah that's good to know, I think Casper is moving away from the firm/medium/soft thing because of this. The models are the Albany II in Medium and the Pro (I think it's the Lacey II?) in Firm. Both felt good laying on my back as if I were falling asleep.
