@@goodbed love the way i sleep on it but the offgassing is killing me!!! it will be 2 weeks in 3 days. I live in Florida , it is summer, open windows no an option!
@@liljade53 Hmmm. Two weeks is about where it usually starts improving. You can also run an air purifier if you have one? But it should get better soon!
@@goodbed but won't it still exude polyurethane and formaldehyde, and whatever synthetic chemicals they used? I just can't believe they magically disappear after 3 wks, and that it's good for me to be breathing this stuff in. Right now I have my bedroom door shut with a rolled towel at the gap btwn door and floor, and am sleeping on my sofa with a 3 inch memory foam topper that never gave off any odor.
@@liljade53 So Sealy foams are CertiPUR certified and should not contain formaldehyde. The off-gassing you're noticing is likely due to trace VOC's which do dissipate over time. Think of it like a new car smell for mattresses maybe? You might also consider not blocking the door to your bedroom, which will only serve to contain the trace VOC's and concentrate the smell that you're experiencing. Ventilation will help. And if it helps, here's Sealy's statement on their foams re: CertiPUR standards. help.sealy.com/hc/en-us/articles/4587909189911-Are-you-CERTI-PUR-certified
Hi ive just received my sealy men and womens health mattress and slept on it last night and its great but has a really strange smell, is this normal for a few days as it settles down and do you have a review on this one?
This is sometimes difficult to predict, but generally heavier sleepers do better on the medium to firm end of the spectrum. I think the soft here would likely break in to be much too soft for you. Hope that helps!
Hey there! We actually just built a compare tool exactly for questions like this. You can see the results at the link below. But to answer your question - we thought the Lacey was a bit softer at the surface of the mattress, yes. However, the Brenham Soft had slightly more Cushioning Depth, which is a term we use to mean how deeply you sink into the mattress overall. So the surface feel of the Lacey is slightly softer, but we thought we sank slightly deeper into the Brenham. Hope that helps! www.goodbed.com/compare/?mod=sealy-posturepedic-hybrid-lacey-soft&mod=sealy-posturepedic-plus-hybrid-brenham-soft
I JUST bought the Lacey firm. This is my first night sleeping on it, feels like a boxspring. I’m return it tomorrow. I was sleeping on the carpet before this and I can’t tell the difference, seriously. I tried the Ashurst firm in store and really liked it, figured the Lacey firm would feel the same just 2 inches taller, but NOPE, one is softer and springy the other Adamantium
@ oh no! Sorry to hear. I tried the Norman in store ( I believe that’s a medium) and it felt pretty hard to me. If anything I was considering the Lacey soft
@@mathewmcfool Hi there, FWIW presuming you bought the Lacey Firm HYBRID (NOT the Lacey Firm all-foam version), it is indeed a little softer than the Ashurst. The softness differential is not dramatic, but if you like the way the Ashurst felt in the store, the Lacey will eventually get to that point or a little softer. Any Ashurst display model you find today has most likely been on their sales floor for a couple years, so it's already had quite a bit of time to break in. The Ashurst is the entry level (equivalent to the Medina Firm shown in this video), so the Lacey also offers more pressure-relieving material on top of the mattress. Here's a full side-by-side comparison of them in case that's helpful: www.goodbed.com/compare/?mod=sealy-posturepedic-hybrid-ashurst&mod=sealy-posturepedic-hybrid-medina-firm&mod=sealy-posturepedic-hybrid-lacey-firm&mod=sealy-posturepedic-hybrid-lacey-soft
@@Ali_Flo-r1j The Norman is a mid-level model, equivalent to the Paterson Medium shown in this video. On our softness spectrum (1-9 with 9 being the softest) it's a Medium-Firm (4). The Lacey Firm Hybrid would be about the same, and the Lacey Soft Hybrid would certainly offer more softness. Here's a side by side comparison of them in case that's helpful: www.goodbed.com/compare/?mod=sealy-posturepedic-hybrid-norman&mod=sealy-posturepedic-hybrid-paterson-medium&mod=sealy-posturepedic-hybrid-lacey-firm&mod=sealy-posturepedic-hybrid-lacey-soft
Great information guy!... I'm wondering if u can give me a suggestion! I'm stomach and side sleeper is very hard to find a good mattress if is medium firm I woke up with pain in my back and lower back and if is too firm I woke up with pain in my shoulder and neck when I sleep on side position. So I'm not sure which of these mattress should I buy. Help me please! Medina or Paterson mattress?
Hi Barbara. You have tough set of issues. Stomach sleepers typically need firmer support so their hips don't sink in too much, but side sleepers need more cushioning for the shoulders. In your case, it might be worth looking at some models with zoned support, so there's more support in the hip area and more softness in the shoulder area. In your case, I think visiting a store will be your best bet, explaining that you want to see their options with 'zoned support'. Mattress Firm, in our opinion, carries the biggest selection and has the most retail outlets. You can find a store locator here: www.goodbed.com/o/r/mattress-firm/ Also, of course, you can try a local/independent store. Hope that zoned support suggestion is helpful.
Hi Mike & Goodbed team, You had mentioned several days ago after I watched your Brooklyn Bedding Signature Review that I might want to take a look at the New Sealy Hybrids. Just as a reminder, I am a lightweight sleeper ( 5’2” 114 lbs.). I really like a soft mattress & I am a side sleeper. I like a soft foam that really doesn’t have very much of a memory feel. I much prefer a lower density foam with more air pockets for a lighter, more airy, responsive feel & also because I do reposition from one side to the other during the night, I like that’s ease of repositioning. I’m wondering if the Lacey soft could be a good option for me. I am also wondering what the coil system for the Lacey Soft in terms of coil gauge number would be since I have found that a thicker, sturdier coil wire can make even a bed that is classified as “soft”, have a firm feel to it. I am looking for a softer, thinner wire that would be more flexible & create more of a springy feel. Do you know if that is the case with this mattress & do you think based on my body type, sleep position & preferences, that this could be a good fit for me or would any other Sealy be a better fit? Thank you for your time & attention. Much appreciated.
Hey Denise - in this case, the Lacey Soft uses quite a firm coil actually. You'd likely have more success with Albany Medium or Brenham or High Point Soft. I hope that helps!
@@goodbed Thank you so much for the quick response & the valuable information. I very much appreciate it. I will look into the models that you just mentioned.
I just watched your video for the Sealy Posturepedic Plus mattress collection. Thank you for a very through & comprehensive review. I considered the three models that you just mentioned to me, that might have a softer coil system, namely the Albany, the Brenham & the High Point Soft. The concerns for me with these models is that they seems to have,as you mentioned, an above average amount of that slow responding memory foam feel which I really don’t like. As I mentioned before, I find it harder to reposition on a high density or above average memory foam feel. I do want a soft mattress but with a light airy foam that doesn’t have a slow response or high density feel to it. I’m looking for a more responsive, lighter type foam & a mattress with some bounce to it. Have you come across any mattress that meets that description, also along with a softer coil system? Thanks again.
@@deniseparashac8269 Unfortunately, it is very difficult to find an exact match for someone at a distance and I'm not sure we'll be able to find a perfect fit for you with correspondence. That said, I've made a list of models that might suit you. If you can, I'd encourage you to look around a bit locally and see if you can find any of these in person. That'll help a lot. But here are a few other options with lighter gauge coil units and soft foams that should help with repositioning. - The Beautyrest Harmony and Harmony Lux Hybrids. The Plush models here typically use a higher gauge coil and the memory foam is generally lighter than what is seen with the Black line. - The Perfect Sleeper Hybrids. These are very similar to the above Beautyrest models and won't have the five zone coil seen on the iComfortECO line. - Brooklyn's Aurora in Medium or Plush. The foams used in these are quite rapid responding. We think the Medium is about a Medium to Medium-Soft and generally recommend that, though the Soft may be a better option for you. - You might also take a look at the Casper Nova. This is their softest model, and it's a solid balance between soft memory foam and a somewhat quick response. Best of luck!
Thank you so very much for your quick response, attention & expert advice. I very much appreciate the valuable service that you provide & the thorough & comprehensive explanation of mattress features, feel & fit. You are providing a wonderful & valuable service to mattress purchasing consumers. I am looking forward to looking into these models. Much appreciated! A very big Thank You, Mike & the Goodbed team!!
We hear that sometimes. There is not a lot of pressure-relieving material on that one, although if it's somewhat new, then it's likely to still break-in a bit with use.
Hi there -- Thanks for your question, and sorry we missed this earlier. As described in the video, in this collection by far the softest mattress is the Lacey Soft. We rate this model as a Soft on our scale as well. FWIW, you can find these details in our written coverage of this line as well: www.goodbed.com/reviews/sealy-posturepedic-hybrid-mattress-preview/ I hope that's helpful.
Hi there -- Sorry we missed this earlier. The Soft version of the Lacey Hybrid is pretty soft and does have quite a bit of cushioning depth as well. In general, I wouldn't recommend a mattress like that for someone that spends a lot of time on their stomach. That said, you are on the lighter side, so you could probably get away with it if you're only on your stomach a minority of the time. I hope that's helpful.
Hi there -- Thanks for your question. These two mattresses do have many shared features, like their coil count and total height, but AFAIK they are not identical. TBH I don't know what the differences are in this case, however it's quite common for a very large retailer to be given certain features (eg, premium foams) that are exclusive to their models. Sorry I can't be of more help on this one, but in case you haven't already seen it, our written overview does include a separate video about the Norman and Ashurst models from Mattress Firm. You can find that here: www.goodbed.com/reviews/sealy-posturepedic-hybrid-mattress-preview/
Hi there -- Thanks for your question. The Posturepedic Silver Chill Hybrid is part of the previous Sealy collection (specifically, the Sealy Hybrid Premium), so it is not covered in this video and none of the prices mentioned in this video correspond to that model. You can look at our previous coverage of Sealy products for more information about the collection that included the Silver Chill Hybrid. ua-cam.com/video/s3ISyrHgIuo/v-deo.html I hope that's helpful.
These appear to be the same mattress offered at different retailers, yes. Same coil unit and listed specs. It is possible there are slight differences (as some retailers ask for these to distinguish their models), but nothing stands out on their spec sheets. Most Sealy retailers call it the Patterson. AFAIK the Norman name is only used at Mattress Firm.
Hi there -- Thanks for your feedback. FWIW, the reason we don't tell you "how good or how poor they feel" is because what I think feels good could very easily be what you think feels poor, and vice versa. Put another way, assessing how good something "feels" is 100% subjective. Instead, our reviews give you 100% objective information that you can use to determine how good it would feel *for you*. For example, we tell you exactly how soft it feels relative to other mattresses, exactly how much conformance and sinkage it has relative to other mattresses, exactly how much slow-responding memory feel it has, and exactly how much bounce. None of these characteristics are objectively better or worse, however they are objectively measurable. So we give you the objective measurements and leave it to you to make the subjective determination of whether those measurements are good or bad for *you*. I sincerely appreciate your predilection toward a review that just tells you how good a mattress feels. But the truth -- inconvenient as it may be -- is that unless you happen to be 100% certain that someone else has the exact same preferences, weight, body shape, sleep position, and priorities as you, having them tell you that a mattress feels good to them is *at best* worthless. Though I would actually argue it is worse than worthless -- ie, that it will harm your ultimate decision -- because if you base your decision on someone else's subjective opinion, you will almost certainly make a poor choice for you. So, that's why none of our mattress reviews will ever tell you "how good or how poor they feel." I hope that's helpful.
