Testing team takeaways

To test the Sealy Bronte Posturepedic Mattress we have people from our testing team take a closer look at the mattress and form their own opinions. Here is what they found.

If you sleep on your side, run hot and have written Sealy off as too hard, lie on the Bronte before you decide. Of the Sealys I tried, it's the side sleeper's choice: a medium with a layer of latex near the top.

My shoulder found plenty of give in that latex while my waist stayed supported, which is the balance I look for first. It's labelled medium, but at my shoulder it felt nearer medium-firm, so don't expect soft. My back and front were comfortable too, and latex sleeps cool, which is why I'd send warm sleepers here.

The latex and the other components are good quality, and there's a 10-year guarantee. The Posturepedic springs underneath, Sealy's own coil unit and not pocket springs, are the part I rate least. It's a lovely bed, but it's steep, so wait for a sale price. Average-weight side and combination sleepers who run hot are who it suits best, and I'd take it over the Orwell above it.

What our reviewers found

Pros

Great quality all-rounder mattress which should suit a vast array of different sleepers.

Medium tension is great for back and side sleepers.

Premium brand with a fantastic guarantee period.

Cons

High price point will alienate many on a budget.

Today we're taking a closer look at the Sealy Bronte Posturepedic Mattress from Bensons for Beds. If you're in the market for a new mattress, then you'll definitely want to keep reading because this one does a lot right. Not only is it expertly designed and handcrafted in Britain, but it's also woven with ProShield® fibres to keep dust mites down and has been designed in conjunction with the Orthopaedic Advisory Board. In other words, it's a top-of-the-line, high-quality mattress that you can trust to give you the best night's sleep possible.1

Who this mattress suits

The Sealy Bronte Posturepedic Mattress is suitable for a wide range of people, but it's particularly well-suited to those who:

Want a balanced level of firmness: This mattress isn't too firm, and it isn't too soft. It's just right, providing a good balance of support and comfort that should suit both side sleepers and back sleepers equally well.

Need a supportive, pressure-relieving mattress: The AlignSupport® spring technology and MemorySense® ComfortCore™ work together to provide deep down support and targeted pressure relief where you need it most. The spring system is Sealy's own patented design, and the ComfortCore is a memory foam panel set in the centre third, right under your hips and lower back.

Want a mattress that's breathable and temperature-regulating: The breathable air mesh border and Intelligent SmarTex® fibres help to keep you cool and comfortable throughout the night. Our tester found it comfortably cool to lie on, and that cool surface was the standout of the try in store.

Have allergies or sensitivities: The ProShield® fibres woven into the fabric of the mattress help to keep allergens and dust mites at bay, making it a good choice for those with allergies or sensitivities.

Who this mattress will not suit?

The Sealy Bronte Posturepedic Mattress suits a wide range of people, but not everyone. Skip it if you:

Prefer a very firm or very soft mattress: If you like your mattress on the extreme end of the firmness scale, then this one isn't for you. It's a balanced, medium-firm mattress that won't give enough support or comfort to anyone who wants much firmer or softer. If you find your BMI is higher or lower than the average, the tension will also likely feel different to your expectations; A medium tension mattress will seem soft to a heavier person for example

Don't want a single-sided mattress: This mattress is single-sided, which means you can't flip it over. Plenty of people won't mind, but if that bothers you, buy a double-sided mattress that can be flipped and rotated for longer-lasting support that gives more surface area in the comfort layer.

The AlignSupport® spring technology support layer

The AlignSupport® spring technology support layer is a key feature of the Sealy Bronte Posturepedic Mattress. It's designed to sense your body shape as you relax into the mattress and provide deep down, consistent support in response. The unique construction of the spring ensures that you get the support you need where you need it, and the entire spring unit is also twice tempered for added strength and durability. This layer is the foundation of the mattress and plays a key role in providing the right balance of support and comfort.

The latex comfort layer

The latex comfort layer of the Sealy Bronte Posturepedic Mattress is designed to provide resilient pressure relief and a tailored level of comfort. It adapts perfectly to your body and moves with you as you sleep, recovering its shape easily for long-lasting comfort. This layer is paired with a firm foam layer for added support, and it's also naturally anti-bacterial to help keep your mattress feeling fresh and hygienic. Overall, the latex comfort layer plays a key role in providing a comfortable and supportive sleep surface.

Good for allergies

If you have allergies or sensitivities, then you'll be happy to know that the Sealy Bronte Posturepedic Mattress features ProShield® fibres woven into the fabric of the mattress to help keep allergens and dust mites at bay. The breathable air mesh border and Intelligent SmarTex® fibres also help to keep your mattress feeling fresh and hygienic.

Pros and cons of a single sided mattress

There are pros and cons to both single and double sided mattresses, and which one is right for you will depend on your personal preferences and needs. 

Some of the pros of a single sided mattress, like the Sealy Bronte Posturepedic Mattress, include:

They're easier to care for: Single sided mattresses never need flipping, only a head-to-toe rotation on the base.

There's no heaving it over: You never have to flip a single sided mattress, and that matters on a 30cm build like this one, which is heavy and has no handles to grab.

They're more modern: Single sided mattresses are more modern and are becoming more and more popular in recent years.

Some of the cons of a single sided mattress include:

They don't last as long: Single sided mattresses can't be flipped over to spread the wear, so a double sided mattress built to the same standard lasts longer.

You lose the second side: Some people find that double sided mattresses are more comfortable because they can be flipped over to provide a different level of firmness or support.

Q&A:

Here are some answers to common questions about the Sealy Bronte Posturepedic Mattress:

Is this mattress suitable for all sleeping positions?

The Sealy Bronte Posturepedic Mattress is a medium-firm mattress that provides a good balance of support and comfort, making it suitable for all sleeping positions.

How deep is the mattress?

The mattress is 30cm deep.

Is this mattress easy to care for?

Yes, as long as you rotate it. It's a single sided, no turn mattress, so you never flip it, but Sealy asks you to rotate it head to toe at least twice a month in the first year and monthly after that, and its guarantee depends on it. Set a reminder the day it arrives.

Is there a guarantee with this mattress?

Yes, Bensons sells it with a long Sealy guarantee. It covers defects rather than comfort, and it depends on rotating the mattress and using a suitable base, so keep the care guide with your receipt.

Final thoughts

When it comes to finding the perfect mattress, it's all about finding the right balance of support and comfort. The Sealy Bronte Posturepedic Mattress from Bensons for Beds has struck that balance perfectly. It's expertly made with top-of-the-line materials and technology, including the AlignSupport® spring technology support layer and the Latex comfort layer. These features work together to provide deep down support and tailored comfort, ensuring that you get the restful sleep you deserve. Plus, the mattress is designed in conjunction with the Orthopaedic Advisory Board and treated against dust mites, so you can trust that it's a high-quality, reliable choice. If you're in the market for a new mattress, the Sealy Bronte Posturepedic Mattress is definitely worth considering. It's a great choice for anyone looking for a comfortable, supportive, and long-lasting sleep surface.

Suitability

  • Back Sleepers 4.5/5
  • The amount of support offered from a mattress will vary depending on the firmness of the tension and the type of support layer used. Based on a person of average build.
  • Side Sleepers 4/5
  • If you sleep on your side you typically need a supportive tension that is not too firm, nor too soft. This is because your hips and shoulders need adequate sinkage.
  • Owners rate this higher: 5.0 out of 5 in owner reviews
  • Stomach Sleepers 4/5
  • Stomach sleepers need a reasonable amount of tension in the base support layer to adequately offer body contouring and help prevent aches and pains. Results will vary based on your build.

Performance

  • Breathability 5/5
  • Mattresses that feature breathable materials help promote airflow and keep you cool making for a more hygienic night's sleep.
  • Turning on mattress 4.5/5
  • Certain materials like memory foam can make it difficult to move about on the mattress while you toss and turn. Same too for pillow tops which can create a cloud like sensation which can make manoeuvrability challenging.
  • Stability 3.5/5
  • Depending on the type of support layer in place can have an impact on stability, edge to edge support and roll together prevention. Pocket springs of a firmer tension will have better stability than open coil soft tension, for example.

Odour

  • Initial Odour 5/5
  • Materials in mattresses, particularly memory foam and rolled bed-in-a-box mattresses can have an initial odour, this is typically short term and reduces considerably within 24 hours.
  • Long Standing Odour 5/5
  • Certain materials inside different mattresses can produce a small odour. Typically this is short term rather than long standing but there are minor exceptions.

Brand Rating

  • Overall Brand Rating 4.5/5
  • This is based on community driven customer reviews tied to product reviews and grouped together at a brand level to produce a score.

In the store this was the most comfortable mattress. We tried nearly every mattress in the shop. The selling point was the construction of the mattress and the salespersons insistence this was one of the most popular and highly rated mattress in the U.K. We bought the mattress and the delivery was arranged. First class service. Once the mattress has been delivered and the packaging removed, the smell was overpowering in the room. This was described to us as the mattress "off gassing" and the smell would dissipate within 48 hours. Luckily we have extra bedroom so it was left to vent its gasses. Two weeks later I decided to make up the bed even though the "off gassing" was still there.We have slept in it once, my wife who suffers from asthma now sleeps in the spare room. She awoke in the night in a coughing fit. I am trying to use the bed myself but I wake up with this smell wafting from the bed. This smell was not evident in the showroom. The current advice is to place it in the garage to air properly. I am so angry about this mattress. It's a shame because we have used bensonforbeds regularly and never had any issue before. This mattress will be withdrawn from sale if they want loyal custom.

As someone who is sporty and have struggled with joint pain throughout the recovery and rest, transitioning to the Sealy Bronte has been a game-changer for me. First & foremost, the support this mattress offers is unparalleled, supporting the key areas like the hips and shoulders. It alleviates pressure points & provides even distribution of my weight. I no longer struggle to trying to find a comfortable position the Sealy Bronte fulfils this requirement. The plush yet firm feel strikes a perfect balance, cradling my body while still providing the necessary support. I've noticed a significant improvement in the quality of my sleep since making the switch. Another aspect worth mentioning is the durability of this mattress. It's well constructed. Unlike my previous mattress, which seemed to sag and lose its shape within a few years, the Sealy Bronte remains resilient and supportive, ensuring long-lasting comfort. While this Mattress may come with a higher price tag compared to some other options on the market, the investment is well worth it. Overall, I highly recommend this Mattress to anyone in search of a restful night's sleep and relief from joint discomfort.

After forever looking at mattresses I ended up buying a brand name top end memory form mattress. It was on 200 night trial. I had itfor 145 nights and could not regulate my body temperature even though it had cool technology. I bought firm but within a month it was sinking to my body shape. I sent it back. I looked around and found Sealy. I was looking at the esquisate rany but the cost, variations and short trail time pput me off. Stoes sell the same item under a different name. I settled for the Sealy Bronte Posturepedic Mattress. It was extra firm. I ordered and it was delivered early and on time. The delivery crew were perfect and friendly. Now to the mattress. Initially a solid mattress, but has quickly lost its tension. I glad I went for xxtra firm. Saying that it has been the best sleep in a long time. I suffer from MS and fybromyalga and struggle with a lot of pain. I find that this mattresses does not cause me to overheat and has made sleep more restful and less stiffness in the morning. My only concern is how long it will last. Overall the quality is excellent just not sure of the body depression, its very noticeable as I sleep alone.

The decision to go with the firm option was hotly debated right up until we got to the desk to complete all of the paperwork. We are so glad we chose the firm. We had a medium Sealy orthopaedic mattress for nearly 15 years, which we liked but it was heavy and needed regular turning. With age, that was becoming a 'chore'. So, we retired our Sealy and went with a fashionable memory foam mattress, from Simba. Once bought, we felt we had to stick with it, but after a year it developed dips that would not smooth out and we both began to suffer backaches. Comfort and supportive sleep are worth the investment. We took advantage of a sale discount, spent the morning laying on beds. The firm Sealy pocket sprung posturepaedic with the gel topper makes ALL the difference. The gel topper ensures we are comfortable when we lay on our sides and it isn't so deep that it negates the pocket sprung support our ageing spines deserve.

As my wife have lower back pain so decided to test the mattress at a showroom, before buying the mattress as suppose to be a great brand for posture. First month was great all supportive and great sleep. However, into week five thing have not been great as wife was loosing support on the left side as dipping inwards so one side was higher than other. I had called customer service just few days ago (we've not even had the bed more than 2 months yet) and was told there was nothing they can do and advised to continue to rotate the mattress until it settles. Even rotating the mattress has not changed anything, she's still getting back pain and now she has numbness on he leg which she has not had that for many years. Even our old mattress (over 10 year old) have better support than Sealy Bronte mattress. Now we have put to one side collecting dust, what a waste of money.

Decided to spend a bit more money on our mattress, as my partner has been complaining about waking up with backaches. Having tried about 5 different mattresses over the last 8 years, we thought it was enough. We are both on the heavier side (110kg and 140kg) and when reading up on mattresses feared we would be needing a firm/very firm mattress. Scott approached us in store and was able to provide a lot of information about the various mattress options available and guaranteed us that with this mattress you wouldn't need a firmer one. We laid down on it in the shop and it already felt very comfortable. We've had the bed for about two weeks now, and I've been sleeping on a cloud - but most importantly: my partner has stopped complaining about waking up with back aches. Very pleased with this purchase.

This is the most comfortable mattress I have ever slept on! I suffer with back problems but sleep so much better on this really comfortable supportive mattress. I know pain affects my quality of sleep, so to have such a comfortable mattress has been amazing! I like everything about it - the comfort factor, the fact that it doesn't move hardly when my husband turns over so we don't disturb each other. I can't think of anything I dislike about it. It is expensive but at our time of life (retired) it was an investment worth making! I would definitely recommend it!

Ordered in November for a December delivery. It did not arrive until March! No one warn me about the off-gassing and the mattress absolutely stank of chemicals. 2 months later the chemical smell is still very much there and permeates through my sheets and onto my skin, making it it impossible to enjoy my new mattress and I'm sure the chemicals are the cause of my skin rashes. As a disabled person, having to strip my bed down daily to air it due to the smell, has made the whole experience very disappointing and very difficult. I wish I'd never bought it!

This was our third Sealy mattress and my husband and I haven't been disappointed in the comfort of this Bront Elevated. We just bought a mattress this time as our Sealy bed base is still in good condition-even after many years. Like its description, the medium is just right between firm and medium and very comfortable. My only criticism is that is so tall! I am 5'11 and my husband is 6 ft and we find it hard to sit comfortably on the edge of the bed now! Perhaps Sealy should make some lower bed bases to accommodate these new high mattresses!

Good support but not too hard( medium). Very deep mattress, need a ladder to get into bed now due to the integral topper but can live with that, lol. Wonderful delivery men but still waiting for the survey regarding their service so I'll give my opinion here. Mick and Kelvin were brilliant. Shoe covering was the first job. Assessed the logistics of getting the mattress into the house and up the stairs and into the bedroom and got said mattress into place in five minutes flat. Total delivery time 10 minutes. Well done Mick and Kelvin.

Tempur Pro Luxe Smartcool Mattress , This is a fantastic mattress! The best way I can describe it is like sleeping on a beach; it feels like a bed of sand. When you shift to your side, you may need to adjust a little to get comfortable, but once you do, it's incredibly cozy. However, the price is quite high for a mattress. If I were to buy another mattress in the future, I would consider a Dunlopillo latex mattress. Latex mattresses don't conform to your body and move with you, making them a potentially better option.

Purchased the Bront a few weeks back took delivery a little over a week or so ago, went with the extra firm due to a bad back, great mattress great firmness, yes it'll take a day or so to adjust if you've come from a horrible memory foam soft mattress once it's into your body shape and you'll love it, so much so I ended up buying a sealy ottoman bed and floor floor standing headboard directly from Sealy via Costco and it gives it that extra support and feels a lot more high up and premium compared to our old duvan

Decided on the Firm version as slatted base bed and its really comfortable and supportive - Felt firm first week then "normal" as I got used to it - no mean feat with both lower and upper back problems. Bensons staff in Livingston were really helpful and the only store to enquire what base was - slatted frame or divan and advised slats might soften the effect so go firm . This is my 4th Seally mattress - just note that std 25cm deep fitted sheets are a mare so budget for a few extra deep replacements...

This was a more expensive mattress than we intended to buy but in the showroom the superior comfort and a firm feel persuaded us that this was the best choice especially with back issues in mind. We continue to be very satisfied with the comfort and the construction quality looks excellent. Only issue is that the mattress is significantly higher than its predecessor which we had thought was itself quite high! We didn't notice this in the showroom. So it's a climb in but a great night's sleep once there!

I would not recommend this mattress. Ive had it just over 12 months and wake up with back ache every day. It starts off comfortable at the beginning of the night but no matter the position, I always ache in a morning. Extrenely dissapointed as this is not a cheap product. I regularly turn the mattress as recommended in the care guide but this hasn't made any difference. I also do not like how when either myself of my husband get into the bed the other one of us moves and the mattress almost bounces.

Absolutely love this mattress. I'm 6ft 2, on the heavy side. I went for the firm option. I look forward to getting in to bed, and I really enjoy lying on it. I really like the foam support that runs round the edges, it gives great support if you're sitting on the side of the bed. I've also found my back pain has improved, so I'm taking less painkillers, which has to be a good thing. I previously had an Igel mattress which I do like, but this one has really upped the game for my twingy spine.

My husband loves the support that this bed gives but I cannot cope with the really deep sections on the top layer. I find it so uncomfortable and take ages to get to sleep. It is such a shame because it didn't feel this way in the shop. I think we are going to have to exchange. I don't really understand why all of the tops of these types of beds have to be tufted! I ideally want a firm sprung mattress for support and a flat memory foam/softer flat top but they are always tufted!

This bed is unusable! It has a foam layer on top of the mattress which creates an insulating layer and makes it so hot we could only manage a couple of nights on it before having to reject it as not fit for purpose. We also bought two other mattresses of the same model and these too were rejected by their occupiers after a few nights trying to get used to the heat. We have had to ask for a refund but hope that Bensons will have something else that is suitable for sleeping on.

I knew as soon as I lay on this, that it was exactly what I wanted. It is extremely supportive & yet sufficiently soft and squishy. I tried several others, just in case, but kept coming back to this one. Now it's arrived I'm sleeping like a baby! The only thing I hadn't allowed for, is that the base we chose, does mean that I can't reach the floor when I sit on the bed!! It is by no means a cheap option, but if you want a good night's sleep, I thoroughly recommend it

We have found this mattress very comfortable to sleep on. It is firm enough, but not hard. Unfortunately delivery was 2 hours late and we were not kept informed of this and the tracking does not change expected time of delivery, despite them knowing as early as 8.30am. It arrived at 6.30pm. The smell was overpowering of the fire retardant spray. We didn't sleep on the bed for 4 nights. Beware of this if it is your only bed!

I believe I have made the wrong choice of mattress. I was hoping the Bronte mattress would give me a more comfortable, supported nights sleep, unfortunately I still wake up in the night in discomfort. It does feel firm enough and I like the height and firm edge when sitting, It is a very well made mattress but not the right decision made, unfortunately, for myself. I feel I would have been better without the soft top.

The Sealy Bront Posturepedic Mattress replaces our old mattress which had lasted 12 years. It took a couple of days for me to get used to it whereas my husband slept like a log on the first night! Overall we are very happy with the mattress. It's comfortable, supportive and we wake up feeling well rested. We would highly recommend this product - we bought the medium firmness level which is right for us.

We had major back issues from our pure Memory Foam mattress so we decided to go with the Sealy Posturepedic and we've seen a dramatic improvement. The Firm option is super comfortable for those who want firm mattress with a soft padded top. There's also very little bounce or moment when my partner moves which was impressive for Metal Spring Mattress. Very please with the sleep so far!

This has to be the mattress of all mattresses. As soon as we sat on it in the shop, nothing else came close. The quality and firmness of this mattress is like nothing else. No roll together, you can sit on the edge with no dip. The best nights sleep, ever. My husband took a few weeks to get used to it, for me, a couple of nights. Teamed up with dorma bedding and I could live in bed!

It's early days, but I am loving my new Sealy Bronte Posturepedic mattress. It was worth taking good advice from the team at Bensons for Beds Belfast before committing to the purchase. I valued the conversations in-store and the follow up call to let me know that the mattress had been reduced in price. I like that it's a firmer mattress than I had previously, and noticeably deeper.

Not much different to a cheaper mattress. Even now the chemical smell is still present causing problems with my wife's asthma. We have left the mattress uncovered during the day with windows open but at night the fumes are back. Wife now sleeping I a different room. We were not warned about the smell and Asthma sufferers having g problems. 2000 matress not very happy.

It is the correct weight for us. Firm but not hard and if moves with your body because of the topper. It is high so that my husband can get on and off easily . It is wide and I no longer am disturbed by my husband who has an illness . It is extremely comfortable and allows both of us to have a good nights' sleep which is exactly why we bought it.

Best mattress we've ever had. For us it was quite expensive, but the special offer made it more affordable. I usually wake up during the night with sore hips and back, my husband always woke up with a sore back. We bought the mattress 3 weeks ago and since the first night we have slept soundly with no aches and pains. Long may it continue.

Very happy with this, now had it for four weeks and it's a HUGE improvement on my old cheap one. I have back problems and find this very comfortable. It's very deep so you need the extra-deep fitted sheets and you're quite high off the ground, so took a couple of nights days to get used to it but not a problem and well worth it.

The bed and mattress are very good indeed , that's what we've paid a lot of money for !!!, at the sort of price you'd think that bensons would collect your old head board , devan and mattress which by the way were in a good condition having been bought from bensons a few years before and costing several thousands of pounds.

This posturepedic mattress is great. Very supportive whilst still being soft and comfortable. I have arthritis and my husband has a back disc issue and we hadn't really found a mattress which suited us both.....until now. Would definitely recomend you don't have to give up comfort for support with this excellent mattress.

We chose a Sealy mattress from Bensons because of the trusted nature of the brand and its high comfort factor and quality manufacture. It hasn't disappointed. We went with the medium firmness which is perfect. A great nights sleep. A great purchase. And the staff in Bensons were excellent - knowledgeable but not pushy.

I have problems with my hips and have struggled to find a mattress that suits. I tried a different one and ended up exchanging it for this and this one has been great and hasn't caused me any problems. I do still have to use a pillow between my legs but my hips no longer hurt when I lie on them in bed.. We went medium.

Left the mattress to air for 2 weeks before using because of the smell. Now, several weeks after using it the smell is still strong. First thing I do each morning is open a window and leave it open till last thing at night. Mattress is comfy enough but had I known about the strong smell, I would never have purchased!

I purchased the mattress and headboard last December and so far it's been working perfectly and I am very happy with it. The mattress is very comfortable and I have no issues whatsoever and the headboard is very nice and the attachment are perfectly secure to the divan frame. I would highly recommend 100percent.

Have always been very happy with purchases from Bensons and this mattress is no exception. It took a couple of nights to get used to it but now I am sleeping very much better. No way however can I rotate the mattress - it's very deep and heavy - so I am sleeping on alternate sides. I think this should be OK.

I previously own the same mattress in a firm, but I found it very hard. I bought the medium and it's absolutely perfect, the spring system gives me the support and the latex keeps me cooler at night. Highly recommend. Make sure you test the mattress you want before buying. I didn't and ended up buying it twice.

The edges of the bed are very hard, like sitting on a wall. Also because we have a superking size we don't utilise the full bed. Had it just over a month and already there are indents. I don't think I would recommend this bed. The purchase and delivery were excellent, but the product is not value for money.

Our new Sealy Bront Posturepedic mattress is very comfortable. It is not too heavy to turn round (I'm 75) and doesn't require to be turned over. It has a definite edge around it which we looked for in a new mattress, to help give support when getting out of bed. Nothing negative to say - we love it!

This is an excellent quality mattress. It is firm but feels soft and comfortable. It contours our bodies perfectly. Normally when you change a mattress you can expect a few sleepless nights. It took us no time at all to sleep soundly and comfortably. The quality of manufacturing is second to none.

Unfortunately this mattress is not for me. I have tried it for two weeks now,hoping it would improve but my back is worse. Because the bed has got very firm sides , it means part of your body is always on the hard part, it was a single size, & also very hard to get into bed. Will be swapping it.

Fantastic mattress.. I prefer a slightly firmer mattress and the medium firmness gives me ample support. The fact that the sides of the mattress are firm and does not give when you sit on the edge of the mattress is great. The latex in the mattress is so much better than memory foam.

Bought as near to as our old sealy bed as possible, the old one has been with us for at least 15 years. We found what we were looking for the only difference is the new one is about three inches higher in the base. Turns out to be a good result. Very happy to recommend it to anyone.

I can't comment on comfort as it's going straight back! On inspection lots of the stitching is coming undone in multiple places all around every side. Very disappointing considering the price. I did lots of research too. Sorted quickly by Bensons's but I do despair at quality control.

We are loving our new mattress so far and it's very comfortable. It took a bit of getting used to but we are now. The only thing about it is it is a bit high for sitting on the edge getting dressed. I keep feeling I'm going to fall off the bed, but haven't yet. We would recommend it.

I don't like the memory foam. I don't like the dips it makes in the bed which is why I got rid of the old bed. I was told that this would not happen with this bed but it has. I now want to send it back and get a different one. Surely there must be a mattcress without memory foam.

Common question
I'm torn between the Medium and Firm options. How do I choose?

Answer: The choice between Medium and Firm largely depends on your personal comfort preferences and sleeping position. A Medium firmness is generally good for side and back sleepers, offering a balance of support and cushioning. The Firm option is often better for stomach sleepers or those who prefer a more solid sleeping surface.
