I purchased a full-size Sealy Posturepedic Body Dream Island Manor, no flip, mattress and boxspring in November 2006 as part of an exchange for a failing mattress set from another manufacturer. This is my third mattress in three years. See previous reviews: Stay Away from Kingsdown (Jun 12 06) and Kingsdown is a Joke (Nov 07 06).
I chose a Sealy mattress set due to the company’s name and reputation. I had checked the reviews on epinions. com and while they were mixed, it did seem the majority were positive. Also I had slept on a pillow-top Sealy mattress while staying with a friend and was surprised at the comfort and lack of body impressions. My friend’s mattress was over three years old at that point and had been in regular use since the day it was purchased.
So I decided on a plush, medium firmness Posturepedic mattress set. The mattress covering is a soft, cottony blend and the inner construction is Sealy’s touted “Tri-Zone” construction,which includes reinforced support in the center of the mattress. I thought this would prevent the mattress sagging that had plagued me in the past. It also has the Uni-Cased edge design that keeps the mattress edges firm. The Uni-Cased edge design is nice, in that a sleeper can be on the edge of the mattress and not feel like she is going to fall off.
I went with a plush versus pillowtop model in the hopes that a slighter firmer mattress would fend off body indentations. It did not.
The mattress surface feels lumpy due to the embroidery design, but once the bed is fully made up, with the padded mattress protector and sheets, the lumpiness is barely noticeable. However, within four or five months of use, the body indentations were already severe enough that I could no longer sleep on my side and each morning I was waking up with a stiff back.
Upon further inspection, I could clearly see a dip forming in the center of the mattress, which is outrageous. I am one person, weighing less than 140 pounds, sleeping on this mattress regularly. The mattress and boxspring are rotated more frequently than the manufacturer suggests is necessary and it still lost support after less than six months.
I am disappointed with the poor quality of this product and the retailer’s response when I notified them the mattress was beginning to fail. An independent mattress inspector determined the dip in the center of the mattress was less than 1 1/2″ and did not meet warranty standards for an exchange. Sealy was of no assistance when I notified them of the mattress defect and the retailer’s refusal to resolve the situation.
After numerous phone calls, letters and emails, Sleepy’s, the retailer from whom I purchased the defective mattresses, has agreed to exchange the failing Sealy mattress for a new mattress from any manufacturer in their showroom. I will not be exchanging for another Sealy mattress.
