All Sealy Essential mattresses are innerspring beds which are spring layers with different foams on top of them for different comfort levels.
We rigorously test each and every Sealy mattress using our pressure mapping system, in addition to other performance tests, and these 5 Sealy mattresses are the best rated. We test petite, average, and large body sizes in both the back and side sleeping positions and analyze the data. We also compare the beds to the other mattresses in our database.
You can click through to any of these beds and see the individual test results and expert video reviews.

There are three adjustable base models for Sealy. Adjustable bases (also called Motion Bases) give you more options for a mattress; from sitting in bed and reading or working, or sleeping with your head or legs up, etc. Some even have features like massage capabilities. There are three models available with Sealy mattresses:
Ease 4.0 Power Base | TEMPUR-Ergo 2.0 Power Base | TEMPUR-Ergo Extended Smart Base |

Sealy Posturepedic mattresses are available in select stores or online, but not directly from Sealy. They're usually delivered by a retailer’s delivery service with the options of free front door delivery or paying for in-home setup with old mattress removal.
Sealy is one of the oldest and largest mattress companies in America. The Posturepedic mattresses and blue butterfly logo are what Sealy is best known for. A few years ago, Tempur-Pedic purchased Sealy, along with its sister brand, Stearns & Foster. The company is now Tempur-Sealy and is the largest mattress company in the world.
Sealy continues to make a wide range of mattresses. Entry-level mattresses cost a few hundred dollars, and they go all the way up to mattresses priced at a couple thousand. There are tens of millions of Sealy mattresses in use today. They've maintained their status as some of the most popular beds in America.
The Essentials Collection of mattresses are Sealy's entry-level models. They're the most affordable mattress options offered by Sealy and they contain the most basic comfort materials. That's not to say that they're bad or lacking in comfort, just that they have less to offer than more luxurious models available.
When compared with competitors' entry-level models the Sealy Essentials outperform many recognizable names like Serta and Beautyrest. The SealyCool Gel Memory foam is a premium-grade material that Sealy has incorporated into most of the beds in this collection. That alone makes this collection a better entry-level option than most other brands.
For those people who are shopping for the best bed for kids or for a dorm room mattress then I do recommend the Sealy Essentials collection of mattresses. Anyone on a budget will do well with one of these beds though I do not think that they will last more than a few years for a pair of sleep partners. It'd best just to use this collection for children, teens, and college students.
