After an initial glimpse inside a bustling yet sophisticated showroom, I dove right into experiencing the Merivale Premium Sealy Posturepedic Elevate Combination Mattress firsthand. Its exclusive Black Diamond Graphite foam, known for its cooling properties, was a welcome respite for this combination sleeper who occasionally gets too cozy in bed. I found the tailored support from the AlignSupport® Coil exceptionally accommodating for my mixed sleep positions, with the Eco ComfortCore® offering sustainable and substantial cushioning to my lower back. As a relatively light sleeper, the unique UniCased® edge support system ensured I could make full use of the mattress length without a worry, making my quick showroom test quite an intriguing and surprisingly comfortable ordeal.

Why our sleep experts loved it

The Merivale Premium Sealy Posturepedic Elevate Combination Mattress is a product that quite frankly redefines the essence of luxury sleep. Crafted with a blend of patented technologies and high-end materials, this mattress renders a seamless blend of comfort, support, and longevity. With an impressively hefty price tag, one wonders whether its premium attributes justify the expense. I had the excellent opportunity to analyse this masterpiece of a mattress in person at a leading UK store and I look forward to sharing my in-depth observations, thoughts, and feelings about this.

Design and features

The Merivale mattress sports an imposing design that screams luxury from the first glance. At its core, is the patented AlignSupport® Coil that promises superior stability, its strength doubled through a tempering process that ensures enduring performance. This ingenious system is designed to provide deep-down comfort, cradling your body meticulously to enhance sleep quality.

Of notable significance in this mattress is the incorporation of the new INFUSE™ Black Diamond Graphite foam and the Eco ComfortCore®. I was particularly fascinated by the Black Diamond Graphite foam, an exclusive enhancement solely found among the Dreams mattress portfolio. This whisks heat away from the body, creating a cooling effect to optimize your sleep temperature and help achieve a relaxing and disturbance-free sleep. On the other hand, the Eco ComfortCore® is a sustainable foam that offers additional cushioning particularly to the hips and lower back, making it an ideal choice for side or back sleepers.

The mattress also features a unique UniCased® edge support system. This aspect implies that you can utilize the entire surface of the mattress without it buckling at the edges, a frequently undervalued attribute, but quite essential, especially for those prone to rolling over close to the edges in their sleep.

Additionally, the ProShield® technology coated cover offers allergen protection, an added bonus for the allergy sufferers among us, which, coupled with the SmarTex® Plus fabric, ensures the sleep surface remains cool and breathable.

Mattress comfort

Finding the perfect balance between comfort and support is a delicate operation, one that the Merivale mattress seems to have aced. The comfort grade of this mattress is medium-firm, a raved-about blend that gnarls the right balance between plush softness and firm support.

The mattress does have a certain indulgent feeling to it, attributable largely to the EternityFibre™ cushioning the sleep surface, providing a sumptuously rich feeling under your body. On physically testing it in store, this mattress did carry an almost exhilarating sense of comfort with it, largely helped by the perfect balance of being reassuringly supportive without dismissing the element of softness.

Suitability

This medium-firm tension mattress shines the spotlight on side and back sleepers, where it returns ample performance on both sleeping scenarios. Regardless of your preferred position or body shape, this mattress offers a goodies bag. The foam and the coil support offer a perfect balance between support, comfort, and pressure relief, which is a crucial aspect for side and back sleepers. However, a caveat is in order for side sleepers with an hourglass figure who might find that this mattress may not provide the ideal level of sinkage they crave.

What customers thought

Reviews paint a rich tapestry of satisfied customers. One customer raves about the luxury and superior comfort that this mattress boasts, claiming that the 'balance of support and plushness' leaving her waking up feeling rejuvenated and free from discomfort. It also appears that the Black Diamond Graphite foam is quite the sensation. One reviewer was utterly thrilled by how it orchestrates a cool environment, promising an optimal sleep temperature.

Customer sentiment underlines the shared opinion that the Merivale mattress is the champion of luxurious support and eco-friendly materials.

The verdict

Given an opportunity to carefully observe and test the Merivale Premium Sealy Posturepedic Elevate Mattress in person, my impression is that this mattress does bring to the table more than just your ordinary comfort and support. Its fusion of eco-friendly materials, patented technologies, and premium features invest it with distinctive appeal.

However, its high price point does prompt reflection. Whilst I relished in the tantalizing comfort and support during the in-store test, I must admit my skepticism remains in regard to its substantial price tag, considering the plethora of alternatives in the market. The Sleepmotion option, though positing a tempting proposal, cranks up the cost a notch higher, which left me pondering its overall value.

That being said, the Merivale mattress does offer the allure of a rich night’s sleep, abetted by its bevy of advanced attributes. Particularly worth highlighting is the guaranty, boasting a confident-long seven years warranty and a 100-Night Comfort Guarantee.

To summarize, the Merivale mattress represents a significant step up for luxury seekers provided it aligns with their budget range.
