Why our sleep experts loved it
I got my hands on the new Sealy Posturepedic Pearl Memory Mattress recently and it ticks a lot of boxes for prospective buyers with it's featuring of both memory foam and posturepedic support.
Through a combination of both luxurious comfort and full zonal support, the Sealy Posturepedic Pearl Memory Mattress is superb for those looking for a firmer mattress that is still soft enough to give a comfortable nights sleep, but if you're a lighter side sleeper I'd be a bit cautious as that firmer feel can push back around the shoulder.
The posturepedic range stands out in it's ability to offer excellent support that helps evenly distribute weight across the mattress in a contoured and measured fashion, ensuring maximum support and spine alignment that help reduce aches and pains in common problem areas like the neck and back. Lying on my back, I could feel my hips staying nicely level rather than dipping, which is usually where softer memory beds catch me out. Sitting on the edge to get my shoes on, it held up better than I expected for a memory-topped mattress, although you do still get a bit of that foam "squish" rather than a really rigid edge.
The top layer of the mattress comes with an impressive and plush 2.5cm of memory foam that will give adequate pressure relief while also giving you that cloud-like sleeping sensation. When I pressed my hand into the surface it slowly eased back rather than springing straight up, and you can feel it moulding around you once you settle in. The trade-off is that memory foam at this depth can sleep a touch warmer than some people expect, and if you like a really bouncy, responsive feel, this isn't that.
Finally, this mattress is finished with a Purotex fibre cover. Purotex is a new hypoallergenic technology that is endorsed by Allergy UK, giving you a restful and painless nights sleep.
Running my hand across the cover it felt smooth and nicely finished, but I will say for the price point I'd want to see proper stitched handles for rotating because this sort of firmer, supportive build tends to benefit from regular turns.
