How Do Consumers Rate the Sealy Posturepedic Mattress?

Sealy History

Sealy has been in business creating comfortable, high-quality, durable, and budget-conscious mattresses for the last 125 years. Their mission is simple: they want to help people enjoy more sound sleep.

It all began back in 1881 when a cotton gin builder by the name of Daniel Haynes designed a mattress filled with soft cotton. The people in the town of Sealy, Texas began placing orders one after another for his comfortable mattresses. Demand became such that he designed and produced a machine that compressed the cotton to go inside the mattress.

By the 1920s, Sealy mattresses were well known and respected in the industry. Today, anyone looking for a well-built quality mattress can't help but to come across Sealy mattress reviews as part of their research.

Sealy claims to be the consumer's #1 choice for the last 30 years when it comes to choosing mattresses that fit their lifestyle, their health, their bodies, and their budget. They now have 25 plants throughout the United States to serve their customers.
