Conclusion

This mattress is considered a medium mattress and it ranks at a 5 on our comfort scale. This means it is a great compromise choice for couples. The Albany Medium is made with memory foam and a Sealy Response Pro Encased Coil with zoned support. There's edge support to make the entire surface sleepable and the edge better for sitting on.

In general, Sealy Posturepedic Plus Hybrid beds have very robust features, such as the cool-to-the-touch cover on this model. This kind of cover is newer on the market and generally found on more expensive mattresses. The Surface-Guard & SealyChill cover can help you stay cool and reduce heat buildup.
