Love our new bed
Our New Bed is Amazing!! We absolutely love the comfort of our new mattress. It is supportive, breathable and truly feels that we are sleeping on Luxury, should have upgraded years ago.

Does everyone that has made a review on the mattress have the matching exquisite base .
I purchased the mattresses from 40 winks Cairns in February. The sales person told me that it doesn't matter what base you put the expensive mattress on . However the mattress feels uneven and lower on one side. I'm only a small person. You cannot sleep in the middle of the bed because it is raised higher than both sides. If you put the mattress on the floor the mattress is amazing . I have the matching base arriving tomorrow and I hope it improves my situation as I if it doesn't work I'll just have to put the mattress on the floor

Unfortunately this doesn’t meet the grade
After owning this mattress for 24 months I must say, it has only proceeded to disappoint me.
In no way does it provide the necessary support.I have a sore lower back every morning.
The depression/sag in the bed just gets worse.I am surprised by the good reviews.
Let’s see your opinions in 6 mths time.

The best sleep I've had in years
- The mattress is very comfortable and is incredibly supportive in both back and sides
- Since sleeping on this mattress, I have noticed a considerable decrease in my back pain
- I have found myself to be sleeping longer and deeper on this bed
- I have noticed no sagging whilst sleeping on it these last few months and find it to still be as firm and supportive as the first night I slept on it.
I absolutely love this bed and cannot reccommend it enough!

Painful
Purchased the plush 17mth ago, saved long time to purchase good quality mattress, started suffering with painful back aching not long after purchase, no matter which way slept, not till recently slept on different mattress that I had no aches, pain at all, discovered it was the highly expensive Sealy exquisite mattress causing it. It suppose to be a posturepedic, good for your body. I am feeling so distraught by this. Can’t afford another.
Update: Sealy msg me that they would ring to discuss, that was 3 weeks ago, never contacted, guess their ...Read more
visually comments are just for show. And know the one I have is no good. Did more research, mine discontinued already & found this review, “Depending on your body shape, it may not provide enough spinal support for most” feel myself it was falsely named & sold as a posturepedic when not supportive to most people. Deceptive behaviour. For the pricing of it it should have been a perfect mattress for most.Purchased in June 2021 at Amart Furniture.

My new mattress is wonderful. I have mild lower back and neck issues and the combined support and comfort are terrific. I am sleeping through the night regularly and not disturbing my partner when I turn.

Excellent service
We have been a sealy customer for many years and we are now onto our 3rd mattress. I noticed a couple of mths ago a spring was protruding from our mattress, however it took me while to ring and organise a repair. However I now wish I didn't take so long. Sealy were onto it instantly, with 48 hours of calling Brett had come and taken my mattress away early in the morning, and had it back in my house later that afternoon after lunch. I was so worried that I would be without a bed for days/nights, that it all happened so quickly that I should have...Read more
organised it straight away. Same day service is amazing! I will always buy a sealy, the customer service team has been wonderful to deal with and the repair men have been even more helpful. I may have had a hiccup with this mattress ( 5 years old), but the service and warranty has been amazing to deal with - a customer kept.Purchased in July 2021.

A really wonderful bed
The bed sits really well in the bedroom space. It's perfect to sleep on with the firmness we prefer. It's easy to make and really satisfies the three hallmarks of good design for us - firmness, commodity and delight

Matress heats up - no airflow
I purchased this matress looking for a supportive yet comfortable matress. It is comfortable but the matress heats up which wakes me ... feels like I am sleeping on an electric blanket. Imagine that on a hot and barmy night ...

Like sleeping on a cloud
We purchased our sealy mattress a few weeks ago and have found the bed to be a joy to sleep on. The top layer was soft yet supportive and felt like sleeping on a cloud. Compared to the latex mattress we had the Sealy was extremely comfortable and cool to lay on.

Very comfortable but! Think 3 times before purchasing.
After sleeping on another mattress on which I overheated each night we decided to buy the Sealy Exquisite after undertaking the which mattress questions on the website. The mattress is very comfortable and I do not overheat. Its also light so I can now change the bedding once again!! BUT we have only had the mattress for 10 weeks, (and it has been turned) and already there are great big hollows on each side with a BIG bump in the middle. Not sure it was worth the money. We threw out an old Sealy when we got this and it was still in perfect condition, quality has deteriorated. I would think twice before buying this mattress.

Pretty good sleeping
I had another brand "chiropractic accredited" mattress for many years. It was awesome but I kept it SIGNIFICANTLY past the use by date. Recently have had expected back aches when I got up in the morning and my deep sleep was non existent. Have had the Sealy Exquisite for a few months now and, after the initial settling in time, it has proven to be a correct purchase. I have no aches and my sleep is pretty much to what I'd think was normal. I wake in the morning feeling I've had a sleep.
In terms of comfort it has aligned it's shape and supported my posture .
Overall I'm happy with my purchase

Not a bed made for sharing
We have had a Sealy Posturepedic Exquisite Palais Deluxe (phew!) for 18 months and never fell in love with it. It is comfortable to lie on but my wife frequently wakes in the morning with pains in her back. Perhaps having read other reviews here it was a poor choice of mattress. Should have read Goldilocks first!
We aren't overweight but we get dips. If either of us gets out of bed the other knows about it with the whole thing moving about. Our previous mattress was well isolated.
We spent so much money on this mattress that it feels hard to throw it away, but that is what we will have to do. Funny to think full price was over $9000...lucky for a half price sale.
Purchased in March 2021 at Myer Retail Stores for A$4,600.00.

When you combine the above statement, with the best quality, why would you be tempted to buy an inferior overseas mattress?
Every night, when I sleep on my new mattress,I am assured not only have I bought he best mattress available on the market, but I have help put food on the table of the many hardworking Sealy employees.
Congratulations, to all those who have developed and made my Sealy Mattress.

Sealy not what they used to be - BEWARE and LOOK ELSEWHERE!!
I recently purchased a very expensive Sealy Posturepedic Exquisite mattesss costing $4000 at half price! We were so looking forward to the day it arrived, but from the first night we felt pressure points and aching muscles. We persevered as we were informed there can be an adjustment period. Well it is now 5 months and I cannot sleep in it at all - the aches and pain and constant waking up to and tossing and turning is a Huge Disappointment. It feels like a rock and is supposed to be a plush feel, and now have to resort to sleeping on my couch ...Read more
as only then do I wake up happy and pain free. We received a comfort adjustment and it is supposed to have deep memory foams now included but again after the first night onwards, this mattress is utterly pressure point inducing, muscles constantly ache, we wake up again all night tossing and turning and I wonder if the memory foams are even in it!! And to add insult to injury it has a strong chemical emission that we can't get rid of, despite airing it regurlarly! Sealy I remember when your beds were luxurious and so comfortable - now I find an Australian mattress under $1500 from another big Aussie manufacturer is by far a more comfortable deep sleep inducing purchase and I wake up with a straight and happy spine! Don't waste your money on dissapointments and try other brands! Not what they used to be.Purchased in April 2021 for A$4,000.00.

Best Mattress I've Ever Had.
I've had a few different mattress brands over the years, and none have given me anywhere near the quality of sleep that the Sealy Exquisite has. We bought it when my wife was pregnant, and made sure we got the comfort level choice right (we went with medium) so that it would be good both during her pregnancy and suit us afterwards as well. I found the info on Sealy's website really helpful in helping with that, as we're both side sleepers so understanding how that might affect our choice gave us confidence in what we were buying. We've had it about 3 months now and couldn't be happier.

It’s nice to have a mattress that doesn’t sag.
It’s the perfect firmness.
It’s big enough to fit the whole family
It’s withstood our kids jumping on it
Despite my changing weight being pregnant with two children there has been no change.
Despite being a king mattress it is really easy to move.

DO NOT BUY. Not worth the money!
We purchased a Sealy Exquisite Soho queen mattress in 2014 and within a year it had a big lump in the middle of the bed across the width way (lower back). We called Sealy and they sent 'bed specialists' to look at the mattress, who informed us that the lump was due to the mattress being on slats and as soon as it was on a flat bottom that it would flatten out over a few months. We immediately changed to a flat bottom under the mattress and a year later still had the same lump. We contacted Sealy and explained and they said we would have to pay ...Read more
a fee for the specialists to come out again. On top of that I wake up with a sore stiff back from this bed which should not happen for such an expensive 'posturepedic' bed. Do not buy and do your research - much better beds available that are way cheaper!Purchased in November 2021 at Harvey Norman.

Love this mattress! Best sleep ever.
Purchased a double Exquisite Vienna Plush a couple of months ago and I’m ecstatic with it. It’s incredibly comfortable - I have some back problems but my back is feeling amazing. I’m impressed by the temperature regulation too - I’m sleeping very deeply even as the weather has gotten much warmer the last month or so. Also love that the material it’s made of protects against dust mites and mould, as I have allergies. So happy with my purchase. Waking up feeling deeply rested and refreshed. I had a friend stay with me for a few nights and they kept commenting on how well they slept in it too. I feel confident I’ll have this mattress for a long time. Would absolutely recommend.

Questions & Answers
Linda Sasked
Why don't Sealy posturpedic mattresses have a fabric grip on their sides anymore? We bought our first Sealy in 1978 and from memory,it had a grip. I'm sure it was in the days when mattresses had to be turned, but not needed now. But it would be really helpful, when beds have to be moved( carpets cleaned etc) to have the grips again. We have only ever bought Sealy over the years, from double to queen to king, and 2 king singles. We are 70 years of age and need all the help we can get. Any chance of this little addition?
