Choosing a new mattress can feel daunting. There are so many variables to consider – different comfort levels, most appropriate size, what material, and of course, price. The Sealy Mattress Selector helps take the guess work out of choosing a new mattress. Simply answer a few questions online and we will recommend the best mattress for your needs.
Considering you spend up to one third of your life sleeping and most mattresses usually last five to 10 years, it should be a decision made with careful consideration. At Sealy, we’re dedicated to helping our customers find their ultimate sleep companion in a Sealy bed. If it’s time to start shopping for a new bed, below are some of our top tips for helping you find the perfect mattress:
Research
Take some time to investigate the most popular sleep brands, checking out reviews and comments.
Know the different types of materials
It can seem pretty overwhelming trying to understand the different types of materials used to make beds.
- Pocket sprung mattresses are made from layers of spring that provide support while offering even weight distribution. Some Sealy beds are made with individually wrapped springs, which help minimise partner disturbance.
- Foam and memory foam mattresses mould to your body and have less transfer of movement.
- Hybrid mattresses have a combination of both. The Sealy Hybrid Collection of gel memory foam mattresses offer the best of both worlds. The top half features either luxurious Coolsmart GEL Memory Foam or Dual-Flext Hybrid Foam layers with pressure reducing properties. The bottom half is made with conforming pocket spring support.

Plush, medium or firm
Plush mattresses are ultra soft and a good solution for people who sleep on their side. Medium comfort levels offer a lower level of softness than the plush, and is a good middle ground for people who don’t like their beds to be too soft or to firm. The firm comfort level is most rigid and is good for people who sleep on their front or back.
However, with that said, there is no hard rule around which mattresses suit specific sleep positions. It really comes down to personal preference, and it’s wise to test out different beds in-store if you’re not sure what comfort level you like best.
Shop online only if you know what you want
If you are sure of the comfort level and materials you like best, it is usually a safe option to shop online and have your bed delivered to your home. Shop in-store if you are unsure and you want to try lying down on the beds before making your purchase. Either way, take your time to make your decision, and always ask about the return policy.
Use the Sealy Mattress Selector as a guide

Make sure it’s #ClearlyASealy
When shopping for your new Sealy, it is safest to make sure you are purchasing your bed from an Authorised Sealy Retailer, and you receive an official invoice. Remember, our list of authorised retailers are on the Sealy website. Click here to view a list of Sealy retailers. If the store you’re shopping at isn’t on this list, contact us to check if that store is in fact authorised to sell Sealy mattresses.
If you visit different stores testing out the various Sealy beds, the specific models might not be an exact match. Sealy retailers choose their own bed names, so when you shop at different stores, the names will be different. Browse the Sealy website to view the full range from which retailers choose certain models to sell.
All Sealy mattresses come with a warranty, which will protect you in the unlikely event of a factory defect. Once you purchase your Sealy, visit our website to register your warranty. This is a good way to protect your investment. A warranty is your protection against defective workmanship – it is not a guarantee of product life or more important, of comfort life.
