Any Mattresses like My 25 Year Old Sealy Posturepedic?

Hi Pete, 

I am desperate to buy mattresses for my new home, king, queen and twin. The only mattress I've slept on and loved for 25 yrs is the Sealy Posturepedic Montoire. What is a good replacement???

The Saatva looks great, but almost $3k for a king is a bit pricy.


There is always Costco's Sealy inner spring plush... but the reviews are so mixed I'm scared to go there.


What do you recommend?

Thanks, Betsy


Hi Betsy,

Nothing is made like your old Sealy.
All of the name brands have been sold.
Sealy and S&F in 2013…Simmons and Serta in 2016.
All of them are now using memory foam…not used in your 25 y/o Sealy.

Memory foam is specifically designed to wear much more quickly and mattresses made with it to need much more frequent replacing.
And if that’s not bad enough, it consists of 61 different chemicals.
They don’t bother to cure the foam, like they did the poly foam in your old Sealy, so those  toxic chemicals off gas in your bedroom.
Memory foam is the only temperature sensitive upholstery material. It softens as it warms from your body’s heat, reflects that heat back to you, and allows the heavier parts of your body you to sink into it, which causes back pain and numbness of the extremities.

The mattress my wife and I have at home is more than 10 years old and still like new, despite each of us weighing more than 200 lbs.
What’s more, I sleep and wake without pain, despite having a very bad back.
I would recommend Natura Greenspring Ultra Plush for your king. 
It’s the highest quality mattress that I’ve been able to find while shopping at the industry trade shows.
Due to the high quality of the components, it’s not as soft as it sounds.

You can’t go wrong with that mattress for all 3, I suspect that you won’t need that high of quality for the other two.


Similarly made, but with a lower coil count, is the Williams Kingston Plush is an excellent choice for the other two…or even your king if you’re carrying average body weight.

You can save even more if twin is for a child.

The Eco-Terra Hybrid Latex Mattress is ideal for any child.

Needless to say, none of these mattresses have any memory foam in them.

We sell no mattresses with memory foam.


All of these mattresses use an individually pocketed coil system, which maintains the natural alignment of the body and spine. 

All are upholstered with Latex, which has been the best upholstery material for the last 100 years…longest lasting and most comfortable, creating the unique feeling that you’re floating.


If you need a new boxspring for any of these mattresses,  I recommend the Magniflex KD Foundation, which comes in your choice of height, 5” or 8”, and in your choice of color…black, brown or gray.

They’re very strong and assemble easily with no tools needed.

They are upholstered foundations, a bit dressy, but reasonably priced.

Also recommended is a waterproof mattress protector, which prevents perspiration from seeping into the upholstery materials.

Keeping your mattress clean and dry and will enhance the longevity of your mattress and keep it odor free. Every mattress should have one.
