Sealy 12" Hybrid Bed in a Box, Queen

I'll admit to having been skeptical about purchasing a mattress in a box. The reviews for the most popular ones were all over the place, adding to my doubt. When I bumped up the price range I was looking for and decided to focus on established brands, this Sealy stood out from the rest. I took the plunge and ordered it.It arrived 4 days earlier than estimated. I set it up early the next morning before going to work to give it time to expand. Set up was simple, the hardest part was getting a 60 pound box up the stairs and my old mattress out of the way. As I got to the end of the shrink wrap, the mattress began uncoiling, slowly enough that I had enough time to position it atop my existing box spring.There was no odor, as some reviews on some products mention. It assumed full shape pretty quickly and was ready for sheets, etc. when I got home from work. I slept on it that night.It's very comfortable, I toss and turn a whole lot less than I used to do, my sleep quality is definitely improved! The memory foam conforms to me while being neither too soft nor too firm. The springs underneath provide good support for the whole thing. I'm very pleased with it.I used my existing bed frame and box spring, which went against the recommendations but I have three metal cross bars on the frame each with a support in the middle and they all attach to the wooden side rails that slot into the head and foot boards with metal supports. If you have a sturdy bed frame, you'll be OK. You will need a box spring if you do not have a platform bed frame. With all that, the mattress does weigh 60 pounds so make sure you can accomodate that weight.Final comment, sitting on the edge of this mattress is no different from doing so on a regular mattress, it's plenty firm enough, the memory foam and coil springs support my 250 pounds just fine.

Was trapped undecided between this and some offerings at Costco. Honestly I don't make that much so even what would normally be thought of as somewhat inexpensive or affordable for a mattress took no small amount of savings. I wanted to get it right and my gosh was it agonizing to choose. Such an unreasonable and almost senseless gamble to buy a mattress online without ever testing it in person especially a mattress in a box, typically mass made in china and drop shipped by some third party company that charges multiple times it's actual cost, you know what I mean.Now I typically take careful consideration of negative reviews especially in issues that are consistently reported and for that reason, despite all the stellar reviews on other websites, every mattress within budget had a repetition of negative issues. This mattress seemed the most consistently well reviewed across several websites, and all things considered I was willing to go quite a bit more over budget for something so vital as a mattress.With all that out the way I'll say it now, this mattress has been so much better than I could have hoped for. It's soft, very soft, mostly dues to the extra thick topper but with the support of an actual coil frame. I personally cannot stand foam mattresses, and all the nice spring or hybrid mattresses where just too much. Then again my main concern with hybrid mattresses are the hazardous materials used in manufacturing. They check all the boxes for flame resistance and what have you but the toxicity was not something I wanted to risk. Imagine having to de-gas your mattress and even then the materials aren't going to decide to not be carcinogenic just because you sleep with them. It's isn't verifiable what these offshore manufacturers are using but this mattress is made in the US.I did spent quite a bit of time researching into it's safety and manufacturing and since this is too much already for a simple review, I'll end this by saying: this mattress is sooo comfortable, well made, and safely made. (Just don't jump on it like a fool and complain the support gives out or pile drive the thing with all 400 something pounds of yourself after a long day and then go on amazon to complain when the knit cover starts to inevitably tear. It's still a product that needs to be taken care of just as everything else).

I switched from a total memory foam to this hybrid to provide more support. I have been sleeping on it for a couple months and it has been comfortable. It feels much better on my back than the memory foam mattress I was using. I haven’t noticed any low spots created by where I lay (unlike the memory foam I had). This is just as heavy as my memory foam mattress, so make sure you have it where you want it before breaking the seal on the plastic. Unfortunately for me, this plastic was ripped. So when I opened the box, the mattress quickly expanded and I had to flip it over and push it onto the platform. I’m also using it without a box spring on a metal platform and that is holding up well. Overall, it is more comfortable than what it replaced and provides more support. The price is very reasonable as well.

I love this mattress, my prior mattress was an expensive “Vera Wang” king size pillow top mattress and it cost me an arm and a leg. I bought the “queen 12 inch” version of this mattress when it was on sale for 40 percent off under 500$ and I was skeptical but had read good reviews from other customers and they weren’t lying. This bed is incredibly support and I am a plus size woman, it’s supportive but comfortable all around. Supports me and my pets and needs perfectly. No odd or off smells when arriving. It said to wait 24-48 hours but practically came risen out the seal and put on my frame within hours was ready. I love this mattress and the material, I am not hot when I sleep on it either, my back hurts no longer and I sleep soundly. I also have a larger chest and love to sleep on my stomach but my old mattress did not allow this. I was having shoulder pain as well, it’s way improved and I can sleep in all positions. I love it!!! I would recommend! I know the picture doesn’t do the mattress justice but still shared, you won’t regret it.
