Key Performance Indicators KPI question mark

Our Key Performance Indicators are produced using a combination of specification-heavy algoritmic data points and user reviews.

This is one of 100+ datapoints considered when generating the below ratings.

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.

What Makes The Sealy Harlow Ortho Plus Mattress Great?

A plush memory foam mattress, part of the Simply Sealy collection

Memory foam is one of the most desirable and in demand comfort layers around, outperforming others when it comes to sheer desire. This foam was first developed with NASA and was first used for commercial applications shortly after. The soft and body moulding properties of this layer makes it very appealing to those looking for a weightless nights sleep. Be aware however that temperature regulation continues to be an issue with this layer, though there has been improvement in recent years with additional cooling solutions offered through select ranges.

Memory foam soothes aches and pains after a long day

Memory foam has properties that adapt shape of your body, immediately recovering its original shape once pressure is no longer applied. It adapts to your movements without sinking, ensuring that pressure is not produced, but without the wrapping feeling which would otherwise cause unnatural posture.

Enjoy pressure point relief and complete comfort

Sealy's PostureTech Core Support system delivers optimum support

The PostureTech Core Support Spring System is a revolutionary and totally unique product that finally addresses the root cause of back pain and neck pain. The system is an innovative mattress design that will help your back by providing the correct amount of support and alignment, allowing you to sleep more comfortably.

PostureTech Core Support gets firmer as pressure increases

The system is an innovative mattress design that will help your back by providing the correct amount of support and alignment, allowing you to sleep more comfortably.

High levels of firm support where you need it

Firm Tension Support Mattresses are suited to those who prefer sleeping on their front and back. Typically sleeping on your back helps ensure the spine remains aligned throughout the night and is the most natural sleeping position that can prevent twisting and turning. A firm mattress ensures that a high level of support contours around your body, alleviating pressure across your entire frame in a more even manner than that of a soft mattress, most notably in the hips, neck and shoulders.Finally, if you are suffering from neck or back pain, a firm mattress can help alleviate these problems and result in a better and more relaxed sleep for many years to come.

Smooth knitted fabric cover for a luxurious feel

Knitted covers offer a good degree of breathability that helps keep the mattress cool while you sleep, particularly important for hygiene but also great for keeping you cool. 

Cover is micro-quilted to secure the sumptuous fillings

This mattress comes with a quilted cover. Many people overlook the cover as a need for consideration however, the right cover can add additional comfort and in the case of this one here, adds quilted comfort that offers a soft but hard-wearing cover that is both breathable and stylish.

Micro-quilting also ensures greater durability

Easy-care and single-sided - no need to turn it over

A single sided mattress is typical for the industry and relates to how  a mattress has the comfort layer on one side of the mattress. only This means that the mattress only needs to be rotated rather than flipped. The benefit of single sided mattresses is that they require less upkeep in that there's no flipping, but also, there's less components involved in the creation which saves costs.

Simply rotate from top-to-bottom

Rotating the mattress remains an important step in maintenance. The comfort and support layers of a mattress settle over time and it is necessary to rotate at certain periods to help reduce risk of dipping while you sleep in the same patterns and locations across the mattress.

Depth: 22cm

22cm of mattress depth is enough to house a typical good quality spring system with decent support and comfort layers while also being thin enough to accessorise with standard mattress sheets. No need for deeper sheets and further purchases as a result.

5 year guarantee

A 5 year guarantee is quite rare in the industry and is a great indicator of the retailer beleiving in their product. Anything go wrong in the next 5 years, no drama, get it replaced.

Made in the UK

These are made and manufactured in the UK, meaning that they all meet the same exceptional quality and durability that we expect from genuine UK manufacturing.

PostureTech Core Support Springs

Providing even weight distribution, the PostureTech spring system feels soft then gradually gets firmer as pressure is applied. The entire spring unit is twice tempered, making it strong. Their Smaller diameter means they can fit more into an area, allowing for a more fine-tuned level of support.

Memory Foam

memory foam is one of the most well known materials used in the upper layer of mattresses. Memory foam basically contours to your entire body with moulding properties. Designed by NASA, this material rebounds to your touch and feels like you are floating on a cloud. Memory foam does not necesserily mean soft either, you can still have firm mattresses for those that want them with a bit of memory foam.

Knitted Cover

It is common in the industry to have a knitted cover, these covers can come in a variety of patterns but are typically hard wearing and do not present problems for consumers.

Pressure Relief

One of the big complaints when settling into a new mattress is that it does not feel as comfortable as they hoped, where this mattress shines is in the enhanced pressure relief that it offers. Each part of your body exerts different amounts of pressure against the mattress and through the use of springs and foams, these products are able to offer significant pressure relief as a result across the entire body.

Firm

Firm mattresses are great for those looking for an extra bit of support, either because they have a higher BMI and leanm toward the heavier side, or because they have joint and muscle pain and appreciate a decent amount of support while they sleep. If you are not actively looking for a firm mattress it may be wise to consider something else from the range that is perhaps closer to the medium firmness rating

22cm deep

An average mattress depth, enough room tom comfortably house a decent spring system and comfort layer. You won't need bespoke deep sheets or anything for this size of mattress

Single-sided

Single sided means only one side is comfy. Positives are you only need to rotate the mattress occassionaly rather than the more cumbersome rotate and flip. Downside is the lifespan of the product may suffer as a result, only marginal, but worth mentioning.

Handcrafted in the UK

Handcrafted in the UK means that the product is built here, by people being paid a fair and honest wage using certified and safe products of good quality and construction. UK manufacturing is some of th best in the world and all of that is reflected in this product

Fire Resistant

Fire resistant does not mean the product will never catch fire, rather, it will not go up in flames quite so quickly. Resistant to fire in the same way that I am resistant to kisses, sooner or later you end up giving in.

Approved by the National Bed Federation

The NBF is one of the most prestigious awarding federations in the industry, helped slightly by the fact that it is one of the only, however, it is still a great source of comfort knowing that this product holds approval by the team

Customer Reviews For The Sealy Harlow Ortho Plus Mattress

Based on 158 reviews
5

Great firm mattress. You can tell the structure is high quality, judging by the material that the mattress is covered in and the useful handles on the sides to ease manouvering the product and turning it.I was a little concerned about the memory foam aspect, as previously a full memory foam mattress didn't suit my partner, it made him sweat quite a lot. However, we have had no problems with this.Overall, we have found this to be very comfortable and great value for money.

5

Not being able to compare, without trying loads of mattresses, you have to go with 'description and instinct'.It doesn't disappoint: it's firm, but not 'bone hard', very supportive and comfortable. I was a little concerned that the 'memory foam' top might be too warm, but I needn't have worried; it's fine. So, if like me, you prefer a firm mattress at a bargain price, then this is for you.

5

My former mattress was a cheap one by dreams, it was like sleeping on stones.This one on the other is another story. It's quite firm but very supportive. This is also my first memory foam mattress. I have sciatica flare ups which happen in random places and this mattress really helps me get comfy without feeling any pressure in the bad areas.I got this mattress while on offer so it was super expensive.

5

Firmer than I expected it to be. It is a very firm mattress. You don't sink into it. I like this and my back has been better. Feels like a quality product that will last. I was worried that I wouldn't like the memory foam but I can't really feel it, it just feels soft. Great mattress if you like a firm one ?

5

It has a wonderful finish, the handles on the sides make it easy to lift and move it around. The mattress is confortable and quite high, which is great ! No more squatting to seat on the bed!And the best thing is that my hip/lowerback pain are much better since using this mattress.

5
