Pros & Cons

Here we collect tests, guides and product reviews so that you can create a picture of what others think about the product. This analysis and review is based on my experience and a decade of industry insight.

A lot of new Sealy tech is included in this mattress, from the SilverFresh to the Core Support spring system. We expect these technologies to begin making their way down through the rest of the range over the next year or so.

Established retailer with a reasonable 5 year guarantee to help ensure consumer confidence.

Latex is one of the more preferable comfort layers thanks to its great breathability, making for the perfect all-season mattress.

Sealy have relaunched in the UK, pulling al previous products in their lineup and reinventing themselves back at the top with some ultra-premium mattresses. Unfortunately this comes at a price point that may well alienate most people looking for a mattress that has the specific benefits listed. For those that can afford it though, the PostureLux really is a fantastic choice for mixed combination sleeping all year round.

Why our sleep experts loved it

The Sealy PostureLux Forbes Mattress is a high-quality sleep solution that has been designed to provide comfort and support to people who want a better night's sleep. It features a medium comfort grade, which means that it offers a balance of softness and firmness that may be suitable for a wide range of people. When it comes to suitability, we generally recommend medium tension mattresses for combination sleepers who sleep on their back, side or stomach. The tension is known as the goldilocks firmness thanks to its mass suitability meaning that if you are not too heavy or light, on average you will find success with this type of tension.

The comfort layer of the Sealy PostureLux Forbes Mattress is made up of a latex layer, which provides a sumptuous, comfortable feel. This layer is supported by a double layer of medium premium foam, which helps to alleviate pressure points and improve the overall sleep experience. These comfort layers work together to create what the retailer and manufacturer reference as a "complete comfort stack" that helps to keep the body comfortable and supported throughout the night.  It's not a combination we have seen before, but it's one that could work particularly well for providing an extra-deep unique comfort layer.

The support layer of the Sealy PostureLux Forbes Mattress is where the real magic happens. It features Sealy's exclusive PostureTech Core Support Plus™ spring system, which is designed to provide exceptional support and keep the spine in proper alignment. This helps to prevent discomfort and pain, and can contribute to a deeper, more restful sleep. We see this support layer in a lot of the new Sealy lineup from 2022 onwards whereby Sealy have refreshed the entire range with mid to high range products with better support. The support layer itself works particularly well, offering enhanced posture while still being soft enough for medium sleepers regardless of how they sleep.

In addition to its comfort and support layers, the Sealy PostureLux Forbes Mattress also features some advanced technology that helps to promote sleep health. For example, it has SilverFresh™ technology, which prevents the build-up of bacteria, and it has been certified by Allergy UK for its ProShield® technology, which helps to keep allergens at bay. These features can help to create a clean, healthy sleep environment that is more conducive to a good night's rest.

What's more, the Sealy PostureLux Forbes Mattress is handmade in the UK and comes with a 40-Night Sleep Guarantee, which allows customers to try out the mattress and see if it is a good fit for them. It also comes with a 5-year manufacturer's guarantee, which gives customers peace of mind and assurance in the quality of the product. The combination of these two benefits makes it one of the better choices on the market today as you have the reassurance that the product will stand the test of time.

About The Brand

Sealy is a major manufacturer of mattresses and other sleep products. It was founded in 1881 in Sealy, Texas and is now headquartered in Trinity, North Carolina. Sealy is known for its commitment to quality and innovation in the sleep industry, and has a long history of producing high-quality mattresses that are designed to provide comfort and support to help people get a better night's sleep. Sealy has a wide range of products available, including innerspring, memory foam, and hybrid mattresses, as well as pillows, bedding, and other sleep accessories. The company has a global presence, with products available in more than 100 countries around the world.

Final Thoughts

Overall, the Sealy PostureLux Forbes Mattress is a well-made, high-quality product that is worth considering if you are in the market for a new mattress. It offers a combination of comfort, support, and technology that promotes sleep health, and it is suitable for people who prefer a medium level of firmness and want a mattress that will alleviate pressure points and keep their spine aligned. Those with more specific needs, along with those who require additional back and neck support, should instead consider a firmer variant in the range. Those who are of a lighter BMI who sleep dedicated on their side, could consider a softer tension than this one, however, the medium does do a fairly good job that should prove suitable.

Suitability

*Assuming average weight, suitability will vary dependant on body type, use the quiz above for a more tailored guide.
  • Back Sleepers
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • 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
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • 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.
  • Stomach Sleepers
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • 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
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • Mattresses that feature breathable materials help promote airflow and keep you cool making for a more hygienic night's sleep.
  • Turning on mattress
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • 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
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • 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
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • 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
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • 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

Compared to our previous matters, a rolled up one from an online store, we've gone from sleeping on a bed which 'does the job' to now looking forward to bedtime. The quality of our sleep has improved ten-fold and I no longer wake up with sore shoulders or hips. My husband and I are both side-sleepers and have really benefited the comfort. Even our cat likes the bed. There's only one complaint I have, and that's not wanting to leave the bed every morning. Waking up and simply lying there feels so great and I never want to leave!

I initially popped in to a Dreams store and used the sleep machine to be matched to a few mattresses. There were a number of mattresses that I then tried and managed to narrow it down to two Sealy ones. I chose this one as it felt a little softer, and therefore comfier, than the other one. I have to say that the mattress I received feels a bit firmer than I remember it being in store. However, it is very supportive and comfortable and I am really pleased with the purchase.

We wanted to replace an aged mattress. However, we have specific needs and were unable to visit a store. Having previously been a satisfied Dreams customer, telesales was our first call. The understanding of our circumstances and consequent help and advice was amazing. In consequence, we bought a Sealy Forbes mattress. To date we have not been disappointed and our sleeping comfort has improved immensely. Thank you to everyone.

The mattress is comfy and supportive but I am finding it very hot to sleep on. Our bedding and duvet hasnt changed just the mattress. Its also very deep so you will need extra deep sheets. The grey bottom edge of the mattress shows through the side of white bottom sheets which is a shame. We dont roll together in the middle so from that aspect the mattress is good.

The shop experience was great, staff were very helpful, we secretly liked the sleep machine, can we have another go please :-) Ordering and delivery was quick and easy. The mattress seems well made so far and is very comfortable, we are both sleeping better, no aches and pains in the morning like with our last mattress, just make sure you have deep sheets to fit.

Slept like a log for the first time in ages, from the first night following the delivery of my new mattress. Unfortunately, aches and pains from ageing have slowly crept up on me and I hadn't realised quite how bad my very old, original mattress was!! Good support but also very comfortable. Highly recommended.

Seems like a good quality mattress. Was hoping it would help me get more comfortable with my back aches. Seems quite firm. Not really noticed much difference and it was a lot of money so debating on whether to keep it or change under the 100 day exchange.

Angieboob
Does this sag after a year+ like ours has

Answer: All mattresses will settle, this is the normal expected behaviour of the mattress.Most people tend to sleep in the same position on their mattress night after night. It is therefore natural for body impressions (sometimes referred to as settlement) to form in your mattress. The comfort fillings will settle in the area where you sleep, which can leave a ridge down the centre of the mattress. This can be more noticeable if you have a larger mattress or a pillow top mattress, but it does not affect the comfort or support provided by the mattress.To manage this, regular rotating is essential to make sure the pressure is spread as evenly as possible across the mattress in its first few months of use.While a little settlement is no cause for concern, there are ways you can minimise any further compression:Allow your mattress to air out daily by leaving the bedding pulled back for a while after you get up. This encourages any moisture to disperse and allows the fillings and layers to rise back up.Make sure you follow the recommended rotate and/or turn instructions as labelled on your mattress. Many thanks
