Sealy offers innerspring mattresses in the company’s Response Line as part of three exclusive collections.
The Essentials Collection features mattresses with a polyfoam comfort layer and a support core designed with open/bonnell or pocketed coils. These models also come with stretch-knit covers.
Mattresses in the Performance Collection feature with comfort layers with standard polyfoam and gel polyfoam or gel memory foam layers. The support core is constructed with open/bonnell or pocketed coils, and the cover is woven from ComfortLoft fabric.
The Premium Collection includes mattresses with standard polyfoam and gel memory foam comfort layers. The support core is made of pocketed coils, and the cover is knit from SupremeLoft fabric.
Please note: Sealy also manufactures memory foam mattresses. To learn more about these products, visit our Sealy Memory Foam Mattress Review page. Sealy also offers a hybrid mattress line, but at this time we do not have sufficient customer feedback to generate an accurate review. We will create a review as soon as we have received adequate data.

Off-gassing
x
Most new products emit chemical smells after being removed from packaging. Off-gassing odors are considered non-toxic, but can be quite unpleasant nonetheless.
Innersprings in the Essentials collection produce minimal off-gassing smells, though odor potential is somewhat high compared to other spring models.

Pressure Relief
x
This refers to the degree to which a mattress molds to or cradles the contours of the body. This helps alleviate pressure point pain, especially on the hips and shoulders.
Like many innersprings, the models in Sealy’s Essentials collection offer little to no conforming and minimal pressure relief.

Temperature Neutrality
x
The temperature of a mattress throughout the night is affected by how much body heat is retained. Several factors affect temperature neutrality, including material composition, layer thickness, and dissipation of heat through airflow.
Sealy Essentials innersprings retain little body heat and sleep relatively cool, according to our customer feedback.

Edge Support
x
The degree to which the perimeter of the mattress supports body weight. In some cases, mattresses may sink when weight is applied. This sinkage, often called “roll-off”, affects how closely you might sleep to the edge of the bed.
Mattresses in the Essentials collection have less edge support and may develop sinkage earlier than other innersprings.

Trial Period & Warranty Details
Trial Period and Guarantee:Sealy mattresses are available through third-party retailers. For this reason, customers should defer to the sleep trial and return policy of the brick-and-mortar location where they purchase their mattress.
Warranty: Sealy offers a 10-year warranty for all mattresses.
Warranty coverage begins on the date of original purchase. Two types of warranty coverage are available for Sealy innersprings:
Products with the 10/10 label will receive nonprorated coverage for the entire duration of the 10-year warranty. This means owners will not have to pay additional charges for replacing a defective mattress. However, they will be responsible for shipping and transportation fees; these fees will never exceed standard freight charges.
Products with the 5/10 label will receive nonprorated coverage for the five years. From years five to 10, owners will pay a prorated charge to replace their defective mattress. This charge is calculated by multiplying the original mattress price and the number of years the mattress has been owned, and then dividing that product by 10. For instance, a mattress priced at $600 that has been owned for seven years will result in a prorated charge of $420 during that entire coverage year.
If a mattress has been discontinued, Sealy will use the most comparable mattress in their current line to calculate the prorated charge.
Replacement mattresses will be protected under the same warranty as the original model. Owners who wish to upgrade will pay the difference in price between the original mattress and the upgrade model.
Sealy mattresses are designed for use with certain types of foundational support. A queen- or king-size mattress must be supported with a bed frame that has a ‘rigid bridge bar with a supporting leg’ and at least five legs or at least five ‘equally spaced hardwood slats’. Sealy will void the warranty if the mattress is used with an inadequate support system, or if the mattress is found to be in unsanitary condition.
Floor or demo models are not eligible for warranty coverage.
The warranty will cover the following mattress defects:
Visible indentations or sagging in the mattress surface that measure one and a half inches (1 1/2″) or deeper.
The warranty will not cover the following:
Indentations or sagging that do not measure one and a half inches (1 1/2″) or deeper. This is considered standard wear and tear.
Repair or replacement requests that occur due to changes in the owner’s comfort preferences.
Burns, cuts, tears, stains, and other types of physical damage that occur due to owner misuse, improper cleaning, and/or inadequate foundational support.
Warranty coverage is exclusively extended to original owners who buy their mattress directly from Sealy or an authorized Sealy retailer. Those who buy or acquire their mattress from the original owner or an unauthorized Sealy retailer will do so ‘as is’, and will not qualify for warranty coverage. Amazon.com customers will be eligible for a three-year limited warranty offered through that website.
