How to buy a Mattress? (Part 03/04)
This is the third part of "How to buy a mattress?" series from an experienced sales man and a manager of a mattress store. The first and the second part can be found in the adjacent Mattress related links.
Chris covers the types of coils and the difference between them in this part. Summarizing what he said,
The following are primarily two major coil structures out there.
- Seal (or Sealy)
- Simmons.
In this part, just the Sealy is covered. Simmons is discussed in the next part of “How to buy a mattress?” series (originally produced by Chris).
With Sealy, compared to Simmons, you would get a coil that is stiffer. Some people feel they are more durable and a longer lasting coil (and Chris believes the same) but there are some drawbacks associated to it as well. Plush and pillow soft mattress fans may not exactly like the coil firmness.
He shows a dummy sealy coil structure which has a unique head and bottom. When you lay down on it, all the coils move in together to help support the weight.
Benefits of Sealy coil:
Stiffer feel. So if you like firm mattresses fan, usually back sleepers are, you will definitely like sealy. Others who do not exactly like too firm but they don’t want it to be too soft either can get a sealy with a soft cushion on top, a very popular combo already out in the market.
Sealy coils come with foam edges instead of a rod which was initially used. Problem with the rods-at-the-edges-mattress was that if you sit on the edges, chances were you would bend the rod damaging the whole bed’s shape. But thanks to whoever came up with this idea, now the issue is resolved.
