You would have to slice open the mattress and remove whatever foam has failed, and then add a topper to make the topper helpful to you.

If you put a topper on a "broken" bed it will just highlight the problem....

To check the foundation, you can put the mattress on the floor and try that for a night.  If it feels better, your foundation has gone bad.

My guess is that Sealy used some cheap foam in there, either above or below the latex.  To determine if that is true, you would have to open up the case and look inside.  If you see something other than latex, that is probably what has failed.  If you are willing, you can dissect the mattress and replace that layer.  However it is time consuming and messy, plus your case will have to be sewn back together or you will need a new mattress case.

In your case, I hope the foundation is bad....

Well it's understandable that you might be reluctant to cut your mattress open. That's kind of an "I've got nothing to lose at this point" venture.

You mentioned you recently moved, so you should know that most major brand mattresses are usually manufactured by regional factories. If you've moved out of the region you originally bought your mattress in you could have a hard time getting the local factory to cover your warranty. Unless the store you bought the mattress from will stand behind it  you are basically responsible for getting the mattress back to the factory that orignally made it. With something as big and heavy as a king size latex mattress this could be next to impossible.

Mattresses made by companies like Flobeds and SleepEz are 100% latex. They should last 20 years without sagging if they are placed on a proper frame and foundation that will adequately support their...

Most of the Sealy latex beds have a super firm synthetic latex core over which they place the ubiquitous convoluted PU foam as a "comfort" layer. This is most likely what has developed a trench, not the latex.  A topper would simply conform to the body impression your mattress has already developed, and would probably cause you to hammock into an even deeper trench. About the only thing you can do at this point is remove the top and replace the foam over the latex, if you are so uncomfortable that you want to risk it. Until you open the top you have no way of knowing whether the foam is bonded to the latex or just placed on top of it. If it's bonded it could be difficult to separate and could damage the latex.

If you do remove it look into replacing it with a latex topper. The core of...

Talk to Sealy. Tell them it's shot. Ask how constructed. If they won't cover it, tell them what you intend to do to fix it, and also tell them you will be spreading the word on the internet via various groups that the mattress is a piece of cr*p.If unsuccessful, have it opened up. Even if PU is glued on, someone who workd with foam should be able to cut it off, and replace w/ latex yourself. Have a zipper added for future adjustments, or as noted above, buy a new encasement....

I'm selling my 2 1/2 year old 20 cm Tempur California King,just replaced with a Sealy. I'm try to sell it. Paid for it back in april 2005 € 1.750 ( about 2200 dollars back then). My mom suggest me to sell it for no less than € 900,but i know that a mattress is a very personal thing,I should come up with a good price to make it more appealing...what do you think ??? Any suggestion ? Do you think € 500 is too low??...

Can't you get it fixed under warranty?...

Sealy Reflexion Huntington. After a LONG time researching, after suffering from severe body depressions in our last Serta expensive King after only a few years, we decided Latex was the way to go. So we bought the Huntington, as it seemed to be the right firmness, felt great, and was a decent (not cheap) price.

For the first 6 months it was heaven! We turned it on a regular basis, as recommended. Then we noticed a little bit of depressions, but not terrible. After about a year, the depressions were very noticeable.

Now, not quite 3 years later, the bed has noticeable body impressions and we wake up every morning sore and with aches. Somehow in all of my reading, researching, etc. I did not discover that Sealy uses less that great latex, and they put a PU comfort later on top that breaks down pretty quickly. So we're looking again, and...

I thought that contacting Sealy would indeed be the best approach - but then we discovered that somehow, during our recent move here to Kansas City, we can no longer locate the receipt. Ugh. So I am guessing that Sealy will basically say hey, no proof of when you bought it, too bad. Though I suppose that it only cost a phone call (if I can even find a phone number - companies tend to "hide" pretty well these days.)

Not sure if cutting open the thing and seeing if I can replace that top layer, etc. will be a viable approach. Again, my fault, but somehow I never saw that Sealy's "Latex" bed had a crappy PU top layer. My wife, when I mentioned cutting it open, said "and just what will we end up sleeping on tonight while you're still trying to put things together????" LOL!

Thanks for the replies...

Thanks - it appears to be, without taking the mattress apart, the upper layer(s) in which the body impressions have formed. Someone told me that, in the Huntington model, they used a cheaper latex in the top layer - sheesh, after all my research, I wish I had found that out before! It just feels as if the top layer, the layer on which we sleep, has softened up enough to form the body impressions and reduce the support. Ugh.

So a topper of some kind can't make up for that, I assume? <sigh>...
