This mattress is very comfortable and supportive for my my spine, which is of the utmost importance to me, having had many lumbar issues over the years. The difference in sleep quality is very noticeable, after the initial 2 - 3 week period of adjustment. The mattress appears to bounce back an hour or so after getting up in the morning, so I think… Read more · 1
it's going to have lasting durability. I think it's absoluetly brilliant. I can't remember when I last slept this well.

The Sealy Posturepedic Acclaim mattress is everything we expected. It's a little firmer than I thought as we do not have a base only wooden slats on our bed, but nonetheless the mattress is very durable and supportive. Show reply

bolsters are really for a much larger bed, restricting the usable sprung surface area for the smaller single mattress. (see spring box with side bolsters image).
Also chosen because it flexes perfectly to my electrically adjustable bed...
The Acclaim's spring system extends right to the edge and maximises 100% of the bed sleepable surface area, without requiring a topper. However Sunbeam's quilted fitted electric blanket is perfect if a topper is needed.
The comfort is extraordinary in that the mattress top layers are soft to touch and contour to your curves if you are a side sleeper like me. The variable staged graduations of the titanium alloy blended tempered steel springs create 3 levels of comfort:
1. A soft top contouring layer that supports below the silicone infused memory foams.
2. A softer middle spring support layer for maintaining a correct posture in bed... no sagging.
3. A firmer final spring layer transfers weight evenly, so there is no bottoming out for heavier bodies. Everything stays level and pressure point free.
Got it at Snooze during Black Friday for 50% + Snooze further discounted an extra 10% for about ~ 60% off the factory RRP.
My previous Sealy Posturepedic 'commercial' lasted ~ 30 years and is still very comfortable but now occupies in the spare room. These later versions have much more responsive titanium alloyed springs, are ergonomically researched, and include individuated comfort zones.
Recommend 100%.

This is my 2nd Sealy mattress and I have no reason to consider any other option. I find the mattress prefect for my requirements. I would prefer for it to be a little lighter for ease of replacing sheets especially as I age more. Show details · 1
Follow-up · Very easy to move on flat castors which just slide across the carpet. Firmness is difficult to estimate since I have recently had knee replacement surgery and they had created difficulty turning in my sleep and sleeping in just one spot can cause stiffness. The heaviness is probably the product used in the mattress. Not sure about options to make mattress lighter to lift when remaking.
Was scared to by a new mattress for years, because the old one was great!! Best decision EVER!! Sleep ten times better!! Comfortable like a cloud!!! And excellent quality that's going to last for years on end!! Show details · 1
Follow-up · Wake up with no aches and side sleeping is, a dream which is my way of sleeping! Partner still snores & farts like a trooper with no disturbance!!

Couldn't be happier with my new medium firmness Sealy Acclaim Concerto mattress - bought from bedsaustralia.com.au! They send the order to Sealy when you place it, and Sealy makes it for you. The process was really quick, and organising delivery was easy as. The mattress itself, I can't fault. I love the support edges, and the medium firmness… Read more · 1
is just right for me. It's an absolute pleasure getting into bed now. I used to wake with a sore lower back, but that has now gone. The mattress gives great support, but is so comfortable, and well made. I'm a pretty bad sleeper, and I'm actually sleeping somewhat better now as well, which is a miracle for me. My only issue is why the hell I put off buying myself a good quality mattress for so long! So glad I chose Sealy :-)
Looking for a new mattress I didn’t know where to start. Sealy has always been a great brand. Online I found their mattress selector and used that to work out which mattress was right for me. I went to the local retailer and as soon as I tried the mattress I knew that their skilled questions were spot on. Quickest purchase I’ve made. It’s been quite a few months now and the bed does not disappoint. So happy with my purchase. Show details · 1
Excellent mattress. Love the plush feel of it, very comfortable and supportive. I have back problems and since I've slept on it I have not had any issues. I do believe that the mattress is very durable and hope to sleep on it for at least the next 10 years. Show details · 1

I found the whole experience wonderful! Especially the help from Dreamland at Totness. The comfort for my painful body is incredible. Having Fibromyalgia and palsy, the mattress offers firm support and softness where needed. Thankyou for a great product. Show details · 1
Sealy Posturepedic Acclaim — best sleep I’ve had in years I’m a big gym guy, so proper support matters to me, and the Sealy Posturepedic Acclaim has been outstanding. It feels genuinely supportive without being hard, and it’s easily the coolest mattress I’ve ever slept on; no overheating, even in warmer nights. The biggest change has been how I… Read more · 1
feel in the morning: I used to wake up stiff and sore on a Koala mattress, but with the Acclaim I’m waking up fresh and moving well straight away. I’m also sleeping noticeably better overall, which is saying something even with two toddlers in the house.
You can tell the quality is there; the springs feel strong and stable, and the mattress holds its shape really well. We rotate it regularly and I make a point of sleeping in the middle occasionally to keep the wear even, and it’s stayed balanced and comfortable.
All up: awesome product. Supportive, cool, and genuinely improves recovery and daily comfort.
Mattress and bed a very comfortable, and the controls are easy to understand. It was a little disappoinitng that the bed itself does not have a 'bed-making' mode - ie the bed being raised flat to about waist height, but other configuration of the controls achieves nealry the same outcome. We were advised to purchase mattress protectors with 15" edges, but 14" would have been better. Show details · 1

Due to various health conditions, my husband and I decided to go down the road of separate adjustable Super King beds, which we have next to each other. There is a big difference between our builds and body weights, so we are both really pleased to find that the mattresses, and adjustability of the bed bases suit us both very well.

give the support my husband needs, without sacrificing the comfort I need. I have been known to sleep all night in the zero gravity position because I fall asleep really quickly and sleep very soundly - I did check that this wasn't harmful!!! Great products Sealy!
A Wonderful sales assistant helped us choose our ‘medium’ firm mattress. It was delivered and put on our bedframe. Initially the mattress felt quite firm but it has relaxed and is very comfortable. Show details · 1
I’ve tried many mattresses, but this is the only one that made me feel sleepy the moment I lay down. It offers perfect support for both my lower back and shoulders, and feels incredibly comfortable. A truly relaxing and enjoyable mattress to sleep on. Show details · 1
Wonderful bed for my son. Extremely comfortable- purchased from David Jones. 10/10 experience and very helpful service. Total manufacturing time was 3-4 weeks incl delivery. Mattress looks and fees extremely durable and I have no doubt it will last him for years. Show details · 1
I needed a really good bed and I am so happy I decided on the sealy acclaim plush bed. It is like sleeping on a cloud. My back was hurting on my old Sleepmaker bed which was only 3 years old, the pocket springs were terrible. My new Sealy bed has cured my back and I am so very happy with it. I will recommend this bed to everyone! Show details · 1
Follow-up · The mattress was purchased from Amart Furniture, delivery was great, it was wrapped up really well. I have been regularly rotating the mattress as instructed by the manufacturer, every two weeks, which is very important for even wear. Now that it’s been 6 months I will rotate every two months only. I kept my old ensemble frame for the bed to sit… Read more
I will start with review's of the brand and mattress firm ..honestly I was concerned..the review's were negative and there stories were hard to believe, examples top layer ripped in the corner, sagging of the mattress, I stayed with the purchase, opinions I thought, you just won't please everybody, well my 1st sleep, was a reward in trusting the brand ,support and top layer materials was exactly as i expected..thankyou Gary Clark Show details · 1
They should tell you when you’re buying a ‘Plush’ mattress that it’s not going to be ‘Plush’ when you receive it. This mattress is sold under many names by different retailers; Bedshed has the Carrington, Bevmarks the Hepburn, Harvey Norman also has the Carrington and Amart calls it the Restore Ultra Plus. This confused me a lot, as these were… Read more
all the Acclaim Posturepedic in the Plush and the retailers were each telling me that their Acclaim product was designed with different core materials. Naturally I called Sealy to confirm, essentially the only difference between each of these products is the quilt stitching. Same product.
Now that’s out of the way I can get to the review.
I ordered an Acclaim Posturepedic from Amart. This is supposed to be a very plush mattress and when I tried it in store it was nice. I’ve also had a Posturepedic for over 13 years and I had no issues, was the mattress from heaven. This was no longer the case with my new mattress.
This new Sealy mattress is like sleeping on a concrete floor. I’ve had a better night sleep on a 35mm cheap foam swag matt.
I’m a side sleeper and my arm gets pins and needles, my hip is so sore I can’t bare it and my calf is seizing up after 20 minutes. My mother needs a firm mattress and I’ve never been able to share her bed when I’ve stayed but when I last visited and sat on her bed it felt like soft heaven in comparison and I started to fall asleep.
I’ve lost so much sleep with this mattress that I struggle to get through the day. It’s becoming dangerous. I have to pull over driving to work because I’m falling asleep and I take a nap in the car before I leave to drive home.
I spoke to Sealy and their response was to continue using the mattress that because of the new foams I need to ‘wear it in’. How ridiculous is that? For almost $5,000 you get a bed you can’t sleep in that makes living almost impossible. I miss the days you could buy a ‘plush’ mattress and have the most amazing sleep the night of delivery.
I was so wrong to trust Sealy. Please don’t make the same mistake.
Month update: it’s been a month of agony but I’ve followed Sealy’s instruction to sleep in one area for 2 weeks and then sleep in another to continue wearing the mattress in. I’m in so much pain it brings me to actual tears. I’ve been getting 4 hours sleep in the 10 hours I’m trying to sleep. The concrete slab isn’t getting any ‘plusher’ but is getting lumpy. One month old and I’m sitting on an angle while I’m reading in bed. Sealy’s response was typical, they’ll essentially take the bed away to inspect it for fault during manufacturing, no mention of what I’ll sleep on in the meantime, and if they don’t find any faults I pay for the transport and labour costs of inspection. Basic Consumer Law for faulty goods.
I’m convinced Sealy are now using cheap materials because this is ridiculous. As consumers, we have the right to be informed what we’re ordering isn’t going to be what we receive. I’m devastated.
4 month update: Still a slab. Has not become any ‘plusher’ as per Sealy’s defence. Oh, and the ‘minimal partner disturbance’ they market is pure nonsense, I can feel my 5kg pet re-adjust on the foot of the bed as if they were behind me.
