Sealy Elevate Hagen Combination Mattress

Looking for a new mattress that's as comfortable as it is clever? You may have found the right product! The Sealy Elevate Hagen mattress is a clever Unicased mattress that combines the cloud-like comfort of MemorySense ComfortCore foam with patented AlignSupport® Coils and double layers of extra firm foam resulting in orthopaedic support that's second to none. Plus, its SmarTex® technology regulates your sleep climate, keeping you comfortable all night long. And with Dreams' 100-Night Comfort Guarantee, you can rest easy knowing that you're making a wise investment. Let's dive into what makes this product suitable for some, and unsuitable for others.

Let's start with who this product is going to suit? Being an orthopaedic-friendly “very firm” designation, this product is ideally suited to those who are looking for a bit more support from their mattress, often with a focus toward improving back and neck resistance. The  Elevate Hagen mattress utilises a unique AlignSupport Coil system that is unique to Sealy and is part of a new range of products hitting the market with a focus toward firmer support. The mattress can't just offer support without comfort however, and to combat this the product utilises deep and luxurious layers of MemorySense ComfortCore, a trademarked spin on traditional memory foam that targets your hips and lower back to provide additional pressure relief and a sinking feeling that will have you never wanting to get out of bed.

So who will this product not suit? This group will fit into two sections starting with suitability. First, this is a very firm mattress which is considered specialist and will not offer the level of support and comfort (for better or worse) of a generic and normal mattress. Instead, the support is much firmer, almost board-like while the comfort is set up to disguise much of the firmer support it does little to alleviate as it is by design. What this means is that side sleepers and those of average build not looking for additional support should buy a different mattress, a medium to medium firm one. The other slice of the populace that will not find this product suitable unfortunately comes down to finances and the fact that many will not have budgeted for such a premium product. Unfortunately the price point of premium mattresses like this one from Sealy comes at a cost for consumers looking for the best and as such may find themselves priced out.

The Sealy Elevate Hagen Mattress has a price point that sees it sit at the top of the high end, with prices that may not be achievable for many. Dreams has accounted for this as best they can by offering up to 20 months of interest free credit at 0% APR for eligible products. When it comes to quality, Sealy are probably the most well-known brand worldwide and have been manufacturing mattresses for decades. For the price, you are getting a deep and luxurious mattress that offers unique comfort and support layers if you want that orthopaedic-feel in a firmer tension mattress. It may be a lot of money, but the 7-year guarantee shows just how much faith the retailer and brand both have in their product.

Customer feedback is mostly very positive, with owners largely agreeing it lives up to the very firm label. Back relief comes up again and again, with one owner writing “my back is so much better”, and the reinforced edges get plenty of praise too: “Doesn’t squish down at the edges when you sit on it either.” A few owners who had found foam mattresses too warm say this one sleeps cooler. Expect a settling-in period, as several found it hard at first and needed time to get used to it.

The complaints are rarer but specific. One owner found it too bouncy and not firm at all, another said it dipped from the first night, and one reported fumes so strong they couldn't sleep on it: “The fumes from this mattress are horrendous.” A couple also warn that it is very heavy to move. Plenty mention the price, though most of them say it was worth paying.
