Sleeping Style and Body Weight
Side Sleepers
The soft version of the Sealy Posturepedic Hybrid Mattress is a great choice for side sleepers who weigh under 230 pounds. Our testers under 130 pounds found it especially comfortable. Side sleepers within this weight group tend to prefer a mattress with deep cushioning to ease pressure. The comfort system’s memory foam contours to the body to alleviate discomfort in the hips and shoulder, two of the areas that can cause side sleepers the most trouble.
However, shoppers should note that the soft model is very plush and may compress too deeply for people who weigh more than 230 pounds. Side sleepers above 230 pounds should opt for the firm model, which offers stronger support.
Back Sleepers
Overall, the back sleepers on our team enjoyed the firm model’s blend of cushioning and support. The soft model worked better for back sleepers under 130 pounds, while the firm was a better fit for those over 130 pounds.
The best mattress for back sleepers is one that cushions the lower back while keeping the spine evenly supported. We found that the firm version of the Posturepedic Hybrid achieved this balance best, particularly for those over 130 pounds. Its memory foam absorbs impact, while the pocketed coils within the support core provide the structure necessary to prevent the back from curving uncomfortably.
Stomach Sleepers
The firm model of the Sealy Posturepedic Hybrid Mattress is a top-notch pick for stomach sleepers, especially those over 130 pounds. Stomach sleepers require strong support to keep their spine correctly positioned while they sleep. When stomach sleepers lie on a mattress that doesn’t have adequate support, their spine can curve excessively, increasing the risk of waking up with pain and discomfort.
Stomach sleepers on our team preferred the firm model, regardless of their weight group. Its support core provides substantial support, which allows the memory foam to cushion without bottoming out. The soft model uses softer memory foam, which caused our testers to sink too deeply into the mattress to feel comfortable.
Sealy Posturepedic Hybrid Mattress Review Breakdown
The Sealy Posturepedic Hybrid Mattress is available in two firmness levels that rank as soft (3) and firm (7), respectively, on our 10-point firmness scale.
This hybrid mattress begins with a proprietary cover woven with fibers designed to feel cool to the touch. The cover also includes Sealy’s patented Surface-Guard Technology, which is intended to protect against bacteria and allergens.
The comfort system is crafted from gel-infused memory foam engineered to provide both support and pressure relief. It contours to gently cradle the body and prevent pressure points. The gel infusion aims to regulate temperature by drawing excess heat and moisture away from the body during sleep.
The support core features a pocketed coil system engineered to provide stability and support. Each coil is wrapped individually, which gives the mattress flexibility while reducing overall motion transfer and noise. The support core is surrounded by reinforced edges to increase perimeter support.
In total, the mattress measures 13 inches tall. The cover isn’t machine-washable, but Sealy does provide directions for spot cleaning the fabric.
Mattress Prices and Sizing
The Sealy Posturepedic Hybrid Mattress has a good price for a hybrid made with high-quality materials. It may not be as affordable as some of the more basic hybrids, but it performed well enough in several of our testing categories to be considered a value. Each mattress purchase from Sealy also includes free delivery, in-home setup, and old mattress removal, which many shoppers may find helpful.
This model lacks some of the tech features found in luxury mattresses, but because of that, it doesn’t have the price tag that typically accompanies those extras. The Sealy Posturepedic Hybrid Mattress is an excellent pick for shoppers looking for a great value from a trusted brand.
Sealy offers this model in eight different sizes. Shoppers can choose between twin, twin long, full, queen, king, split king, California king, and split California king – which can be a difficult size to find. This hybrid mattress is 13 inches tall, so it should fit well with most standard size sheet sets.
