How do I shop for a new mattress?

Focus on finding a sleep set that satisfies your comfort preference first, then your quality preference. To do so, always shop wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that can easily be removed for lying down. Take your time and don't be shy. This is a big investment, not just financially, but your well-being & performance is at stake.

How do I compare mattresses?

The best way to really know what you're buying is to experience a top-quality pillowtop in varying comforts. Determine the comfort you prefer, then compare your comfort preference in three qualities—top of the line, mid-range and lower range, and understand the differences. This comparison helps you make an informed decision. If you like the comfort and price, the store services and possible financing options, you can make your purchase at the first store. If you decide to shop another store, find out what you've seen. Know the type of sleep set and its significant features, such as the type of innerspring unit, key comfort layers, type of edge support and significant features of the box spring.

Is it true other mattresses use the same technology Sealy Posturepedic® uses?

No, it's not true. Sealy's Posturepedic® Innerspring system is a patented design developed and produced by Sealy and only offered in Sealy products. Posturepedic® components, which meet the highest quality standards in the industry, are not offered in products promoted by other retailers. Don't be fooled by people who attempt to sell you products that are "just like a Sealy." There is no substitute for a Sealy Posturepedic sleep set.

How do I comfort test mattresses?

Once you are familiar with the wide array of mattresses available, start the shopping process at a store that you know & trust.

Don't worry about putting your feet on the mattress - the test mattresses are there for your use and demonstration.
