Does everyone that has made a review on the mattress have the matching exquisite base .

published

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

Purchased in February 2021 at Forty Winks QLD, Cairns for A$6,000.00.

Unfortunately this doesn’t meet the grade

published

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.

Purchased in November 2021 at Forty Winks QLD, Kawana for A$3,500.00.

The best sleep I've had in years

published

- 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!

Purchased in December 2021.

I haven't slept this well in a long time!

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.

A really wonderful bed

published

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

published

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 ...

Purchased at Harvey Norman for A$3,000.00.

No point, I have already paid 2 lots of $300 to get the matress adjusted. The warehouse said nothing can be done about the heating up, it's down to the foam used.

Like sleeping on a cloud

published

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.

Purchased in November 2021.

Very comfortable but! Think 3 times before purchasing.

published

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.

Purchased in September 2021.

Pretty good sleeping

published

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

published

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.

Best Mattress I've Ever Had.

published

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.

published

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.

Love this mattress! Best sleep ever.

published

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.

Purchased in August 2021.

Questions & Answers

Linda S

Linda Sasked

Posturepedic Exquisite

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?
