How's this spring mattress I just ordered?
|
I ordered this Sealy as I plan to now put my own 3" latex or memory foam topper on top of the strong coil system This one, according to the salesman, Sealy Posturepedic Wyrick is basically just the coil with some padding. What I liked is this salesman understood what I was trying to do and didn't try to upsell me on more plush models since I planned to use my own comfort layers. Also they will give me one free total bed exchange if I don't like it... http://www.mattress.com/ProductDetails.aspx?PID=13753&SID=6 Was thinking of keeping the soft 2.9" layer from my SleepEz bed to use as the topper. Thoughts? This message was modified Mar 1, 2008 by novahelp

Hi, All I saw was the queen has 737 coils but not what size. Generally Sealy's are 14.5. I know Sealy's coils are tempered twice which is good, but it would be good to know the gauge. For an every night bed (versus guest bed) I understand 800+ are recommended in the Sealy Line. On firmness it was suggested to be a 7.5 out of 10 which is great. It will probably be a good bed but a little springy. You can always trade up to one with more coils if you need to, right? |

The sales man said Sealy has the best coil, i think he said 13 gauge. Also, I got a california king size which as more coils. I am hoping this will work as this has been such an ordeal replacing my old bed :( This message was modified Mar 3, 2008 by novahelp

Ok, the gauge is 14. But I wasn't able to get any details about comfort layers. Haven't met any Sealy mattress with 800+ coils in the Queen size. 736 is the maximum what I saw so far |

This one has higher counts in Queen then in twin etc. So i assume. |

Novahelp, You're right, the queens don't go into the 800's on Sealy. The queen size is usually the size people use to compare coils across the board. Sorry for the wrong info...I hope it is a great foundation for your toppers. Sabra |

| Novahelp, let us know how that Sealy works out for you, especially paired with your 3" latex topper, which I guess you are keeping from your SleepEZ mattress. Just be sure to keep it under a mattress pad to protect it from UV light so it will last for many years. |

Novahelp, Is that Sealy Posturepedic Wyrick mattress dual sided or single? Thanks |

Hi, just some information that might be of interest. All Sealys I have tried are "springier" than most other mattresses. I don't know what accounts for that. I would guess it's that the springs are less rigid for whatever reason but that's not necessarily a bad thing unless you are sleeping with a partner and don't want that much bounce. (or maybe you do!) ;-) Anyway, since I took my Sealy Fenway from CostCo apart and added my own layers of foam I can tell you that I made it much less springy. I think part of the springiness to it was that they had NO firm padding (on this model, at least) over the springs. Once I put an inch of very firm (I mean SUPER FIRM) padding directly on top of the springs, that made it much less springy. Then, I tried it for awhile with only 1" of medium foam over that and it was a bit springy. But by adding another 1" of medium foam on top of that (now 2" of medium foam), that made it not very springy at all. I don't think springiness is bad or good, it depends on what you like. I prefer it a little less springy it turns out. It seemed like the springs were creating pressure points for me when I had less padding over them. Not sure if that's true but it seemed that way to me. Just in case you end up keeping your mattress and doing surgery on it some day. So that is the one thing I can tell you: If your new mattress becomes uncomfortable for you some day you can open it up (see my thread on that somewhere here) and rebuild it by adding your own HR or Latex foam over the springs and it will be fine. |

The mattress is basic and very bouncy. Placed a latex layer on it, and FINALLY this seems to be what I need. The latex cushions me, but the springs underneath support me! The pure foam beds (latex and memory foam) clearly don't work for me because I compress the foam so much that no matter how soft the foam, when you compress foam to the limit it gets HARD. When I lay on my side on this bed WITH the latex (without I don't like it) I get comforming, cushioning, and support so far :) Sleep tonight and find out. I am now testing if I want soft or medium topper latex. Dear god, can this ordeal finally be over!? |
