Sealy

Sealy has formerly separated from Silentnight, who once managed the UK arm of the popular retailer and will now be re-acquired by Tempur Sealy International. For those who don’t know, Sealy is the world's biggest bed brand that’s not down to luck, Sealy mattresses are highly regarded and at a price point that is achievable for the vast majority of people. What’s more, the company produces handmade beds right here in the UK using some of the finest fillings and upholstery.

Sealy’s Posturepedic technology makes it ideal for those with back and neck pain looking for that additional bit of support, becoming the only partner to be approved under the Orthopedic Advisory Board

Dormeo

Dormeo first popped up on our radar back in the early 2000’s, finding different avenues to market than traditional with their frequent TV advertising and push toward their own independent store over the conventional retailer derived market. Selling typically mid to high range products there are a few things that stand out with the Dormeo offering that competitors lag behind on, namely split tension and the way customers can adjust the firmness of their mattresses themselves via included replacement pads.

Regardless of your budget, there’s likely to be something suitable for a reasonable price point.

Sealy Owner Satisfaction

Satisfaction is at the heart of what Sealy offers. Since their inception Sealy has offered numerous different base and comfort layers to try and appease all areas of the market. The company has largely remained successful in their plight thanks to their strong support within the mid-tier market. Customers are most satisfied with the company's firm orthopaedic mattresses, for which they have become renowned.

Sealy Supportiveness

The Sealy lineup includes everything from soft through to firm tensions. The most popular in the range are the mediums which give the best overall support for most people, pairing well with the pocket spring support layer to offer full body contouring for all-round support without feeling too-firm.

For those looking for a bit more support, Sealy has firmness grades exceeding firm and entering extra-firm territory. We would personally recommend these only for specific circumstances as comfort is reduced slightly to better aid support.

Sealy Durability

When it comes to durability Sealy performs in line with expectation. We do see a bit of fallout from some of the cheaper in the range, particularly the open coil sprung models which, combined with a single sided comfort layer often do not have long-lasting properties and may not afford as good value as initially perceived due to their reduced operating lifespan. Contrary to this is the excellent pocket sprung options on offer from Sealy, particularly when paired with a double sided comfort layer. A combination of these will ensure you get a long standing mattress that will last far better and in-line with the average expectancy where people typically look at replacing their mattress (7 years)

Dormeo Owner Satisfaction

Satisfaction among customers appears to be high for Dormeo mattresses. This is unsurprising given the high quality materials and primary materials of latex, memory foam and pocket springs. Customers particularly enjoy the different firmness levels offered within each purchase. Where conventionally you would purchase a mattress and be left with the firmness chosen, Dormeo have gone a step further and developed removable pads that adjust the tension to a suitable level which, being a common complaint otherwise, assures satisfaction.

Customer reviews for Dormeo mattresses are fairly impressive and with impressive market leading warranties this trend looks set to continue.

Dormeo Supportiveness

Support is something very unique to Dormeo due to its split tension dual core mattresses. This specialist lineup allows you to have multiple tensions within one mattress, simply flip over to achieve a different degree of support and comfort.

Traditionally we judge a mattress manufacturer's support by the layer denoted to it and in the case of Dormeo this looks to be primarily pocket springs as a base layer. Pocket springs are market leading and outperform equivalent open coil and reflex foam units, they achieve this by having better body contouring, less settlement issues and better durability.

Dormeo Durability

Much of the Dormeo lineup comes with anything from 10 year to 20 year warranties. Regardless of which mattress you choose and which of the warranties you receive, it will still be toward the absolute top percentile in terms of warranty coverage. This is important because without a warranty you will be unprotected in the years that follow and since the average mattress is replaced after 7 years, a 10-20 year warranty goes a fairly long way in determining the expected above-and-beyond lifespan of such a product. Combine the great warranty with market-leading support and comfort layers and you are left with an extremely durable mattress that will provide you with a great night's sleep for a decade to come.

I wanted to 'wait' before posting my review as I was told by my chiropractor it takes around a month for your body to adjust to a new mattress...Having experience a back impact injury February 2016, I have been VERY impatient for it to be resolved quickly. This not being the case!This is my 3rd mattress tried and I must say the 'only' one that has made a difference :) (In saying that I have also had to purchased several pillows, 9 to date, in order to alleviate my pain fully.)I adore the firmness of the mattress and 'feel' I am getting the support in the correct place. I literally sleep the whole night through. I had been waking feeling a little stiffness, but this has now gone. The tightness in my middle back is definitely reduced, as my 'monthly deep tissue massage' is testament to.I'm pleased that the mattress is deep and had no problem getting a fitted sheet to cover it. With a mattress protector nor did I notice the button detail mentioned by several people- I just do not feel them. It was no issue for me- I'm getting (finally) a great night's sleep :)The handles on the sides have made it easier to manhandle, although it is quite hefty, we managed. I have not yet had to turn it.I did do my research however prior to buying, both with comparing prices to other sites (this one is TRULY exceptionally competitively priced!!) and with reading other people's reviews to make my final selection.What can I say... I am a VERY satisfied customer, getting probably a better night's sleep than I did prior to my injury and would thoroughly recommend my purchase :)

This is by far the best mattress I have ever had. It's comfortable, sturdy, very well constructed and since using it have had some of the best nights sleep for years. The best part for me though is the great support it gives my spine. I had blamed my back problems on just getting older, however I realise my old mattress, although firm, was a huge contributer to the problems. I love how this mattress is firm yet extremely comfortable at the same time. It is much higher than my previous mattress which adds a bit of luxruy to my bed frame, it does it justice and once dressed looks amazing. All in all I would thoroughly recommend this mattress to anyone who is looking for a firm yet comfortable mattress, and who would like a good night's sleep. And yes, it's insanely comfortable, simply heavenly. Now the problem I have is getting up out of it, it feels too nice to leave at times!

This product is amazing. I had an operation on my disc hernia between my L4 L5 vertebrae 4 years ago, i was not able to walk for 2 months by then and be mobile and functional again after long physio therapies. Since then every morning when i wake up i was stiff, needed to do stretching and pilates every morning in order to be functional again. Last month we went to dreams, told the representative about my problem and suggested this mattress which is amazing. I am waking up like i had no issues in my back before, no pain, no stiffness. Shorter but well rested sleeps… This is an incredible product, the support it provides helps my body recharge the necessary energy to my muscles. I am very happy with my choice. Thanks to the team in Dreams New Malden

Although with this mattress it took roughly around a fortnight to get used to the higher firmness level to what my former mattress was as initially I did think it was took firm I discovered that I know prefer this firmness level more. As a regular gym attender (around 5/6 times a week) I used to always suffer from aches and pains, this mattress has helped reduce those. I now very rarely wake up having had a bad night sleep due to discomfort/aches and pains. The support level provided on ones posture is so much more beneficial. The cost of the mattress was a little more than I would normally spend in a mattress but overall I am getting a better nights sleep which is a big plus :D I would highly recommend.

For the past two years I have been sleeping on one of the new wonder memory foam mattresses which has become increasingly uncomfortable. So, I decided to go back to a traditionally sprung Sealy PostureLux Wilton Mattress as when I tried it in the shop it felt much more substantial. Critically it has a strong edge band to counter the collapse I saw in the memory foam which resulted in me fighting to actually stay on the bed. The result is I now sleep soundly without the need for constant turning in the night as the support given is firm without being hard. The mattress oozes quality and gives reassurance that not only will I be sleeping well for some time but that I will not be in any hurry to change it.

I had seen this in store at a local bed store which was great as I had only seen it advertised on tv. As with most mattresses, it does feel firmer than the one in store but I have had the mattress a week now and it is starting to soften a little. I bought as a replacement for my old memory foam mattress which i'd had for over 7 years and it had a permanent dip giving me back pain. The dormeo mattress is a lot more supportive and I am waking up in less pain. I would say though, the first night I slept on it, I found it extremely warm, which would be great in winter but a bit much in summer! Also, bear in mind, it is a deep mattress. It only just fits my bed frame. But overall, so far I am happy with it.

4 Kelly Wall

Very comfortable only reason for a 4 star is we have a kingsize bed frame and it is about an inch from fitting side to side even though the width of the mattress is 150cm which is king
