Like many people, my wife and I had been saying every year for many years that we 'must' go out and get a new bed, but we never seemed to get around to it. However, as we were due to move house in July 2012 we decided the time was right and so we went to a local furniture store we had used for several years to see what they had to offer.

In the end, we decided to purchase a Sealy Posturepedic Silver Napoli 1200 and made arrangements for it to be delivered to our new house.

The bed is still less than 6 months old, but has already developed sufficient problems to the point that we wish we'd never bought it.

First we noticed a problem with the Unicase design, which is intended to protect the springs and stop the mattress sagging, but which now isn’t performing its task satisfactorily.

Not only is the mattress sagging, but on one side you can hear and feel what I assume is a large piece of packing moving out of position as we get into bed. This can be pushed back by hand, but it immediately moves back out of position as soon as any weight is applied in the area where the fault has been detected.

Then, on the day the retailer came out to inspect the bed we took the mattress off the base to find that condensation appears to have been forming underneath between the mattress and the base. This has now started to turn to mould! To say we were shocked with our discovery would be an understatement.

The men who came to inspect the bed seemed to accept the problem with the sagging was indeed down to the manufacturer, but was less willing to accept the condensation problem was down to the manufacture saying they would send a report to Sealy and see what they have to say.

I said to them that even if it wasn't an actual fault in the manufacture it must be a fault in the design and/or the materials used, thus making it not fit for purpose, but again they seemed reluctant to accept this, so we'll just need to see what Sealy come back with.

In the meantime, I turned to Google and found dozens of posts online about this type of thing, but always in a temporary situation (like a caravan or a motor home) and never in a domestic situation. Then on Page 10 of my Google search I finally found a link to someone else who had the same experience and wouldn't you know it there's was a Sealy bed too.

So my advice to anyone out there who may have bought one of these beds is to not just rotate the mattress, but take it off completely to check for this problem on a regular basis. To anyone else who is merely thinking of buying this bed is don't do it.

We paid £850 for ours and I'd swap it tomorrow for the 14 year old bed it replaced!

Oh, and by the way even when it was thrown away there wasn't a single piece of mould to be seen.

Sealy ... your bed sucks!

I purchased a Sealy Posturepedic high end Titanium coil Firm eurotop CalKing Mattress last May. I avoided the Plush because I was hoping that this would prevent deep body impressions mentioned by some reviewers.
The first thing we noticed besides the horrible smell (which took 3 months to tolerate) was the very uncomfortable high lump across the middle 2/3rds of the bed. We actually started off with our heads and feet going downhill. This was very hard to deal with. The sales person assured us that this was an overfill protection against sagging.
Within only 5 months, the sagging had begun and permanent body impressions had developed. We were already hurting every morning. About 9 months into it we had to spend another $200 on a memory foam topper, hopping we could get one nights good sleep. Now it is so tall we can hardly get in and out.
Plus, the body impression continued to deepen at an alarming rate. The craters make turning over at night a chore and I wake up with my back frozen in pain.
I actually put a pillow in my pit and the topper over it, just to get through the night last night.
By the way, I am 5'9" and 145lbs, by husband is 5'11" and 165lbs. So we are not supper heavy people! This thing is absolute garbage and I just want to cry. I want my 10 year old Serta Pillowtop back that didn't hurt one night for 9 years. Nor did it every get body impressions like this. The mild pain we were getting was far better than this!!! I'm afriad to by anything due to all of the bad reviews out there.
