The Sealy Posturepedic Backcare Extra Firm Mattress is probably one of the better named in the Sealy range, making it pretty explicit the point of this mattress and whom the audience it may suit.
Predictably, this is an extra firm mattress and part of the posturepedic range, a range that focusses on firm mattresses with an aim to reduce tension and pain in the back and neck by offering contoured support that focuses on relieving muscle hotspots across your body.
An exclusive mattress, this is unlikely to be found among other retailers and is the firmest mattress from Sealy to date.
Orthopaedic care is an ongoing concern for many looking for a firmer feel mattress and this particular product delivers, allowing you to enjoy an extra firm mattress with enhanced support for your back, helping to ensure correct spinal alignment and ensuring that you get a fantastic nights sleep for many years to come.
Hand tufting and rod edge support mean that you are able to get a firm feel across the entire space of the mattress. That means reduced roll-off and no roll-together, allowing you to stick to your space and utilise it how you see fit without impairing partners and without having to stick to a specific spot that is away from the mattress edge.
With exceptional quality from a best selling brand, this one is going to be hard to beat. I've personally tried many of the Posturepedic range and find them all to offer fantastic back support while still offering enough comfort to enjoy sleep effectively.
Reasons to Buy
Orthopedic support at a more realistic price point for many.
We really like the PostureTech Core Support spring system, its one of Sealys more popular spring systems that works really well in this combination. It's fairly low tech and lower in the range than others, but it performs well enough to not matter.
Cracking 5 year guarantee will give you protection for most of the lifespan of a typical mattress.
Reasons to Avoid
Sealy use a lot of clever marketing words to make it seem more impressive than it is. That isn't to say it isn't worth the money but don't buy into "power packs" and "smart fibers". Ultimately it's a firm mattress with a basic but suitable spring system that is paired with breathable white fiber fillings that are bouncy, deep and soft.
