Why our sleep experts loved it

Introducing the Sealy Blackwood Elevate Posturepedic Mattress, the mattress crafted especially for those who desire firm, orthopaedic support without compromising on comfort. This Posturepedic mattress brings a unique combination of AlignSupport® Coil Springs, a UniCased® design, and ProShield® allergen protection. It's well-crafted and carefully structured with clean, fresh feeling materials that have been approved by Allergy UK. This mattress signifies an investment in oneself. But is it worth the high-end price tag? Let's delve deeper.

How We Test

Our mattress review process involves combined insights from a panel of experts in the field. Drawing from their extensive knowledge on mattress construction, comfort factors, supportive technology and industry standards, each potential mattress is thoroughly analysed. It's important to note that while we're not testing these products in person, our analysis based on given specifications provides an in-depth and balanced perspective. This review has thoroughly considered features such as comfort, durability, allergen protection, temperature regulation and edge support.

Features you should know about

If we start with its luxurious cover, the SmarTex® cover equipped with ProShield® is designed to provide a cool, crispy night's sleep, while offering protection against allergens. This ensures you awaken refreshed each morning and provides peace of mind for those with allergies. The AlignSupport® Coil Springs form a patented spring technology that offers uncapped comfort and support, allowing your body's weight to be evenly distributed, while the UniCased® design enhances sturdiness around the mattress edge, increasing sleep surface and limiting that restricting 'rolling off' sensation.

Construction in the base and upper layers

The lower layer of the Sealy Blackwood Elevate Posturepedic is reinforced with "BasePlank" technology. This provides a strong foundation that breathes freely thanks to its air channels. The higher layers consist of a central ComfortCore™ which targets the hips and lower back for immense pressure relief, accompanied by firm and extra firm foams. Together, these components make up a mattress that offers comprehensive support from the base up.

Who the product suits

Lauded for its orthopedic support, this Sealy Blackwood mattress is best suited for those who relish a firmer mattress, specifically back and potentially some stomach sleepers. The high degree of firmness, as confirmed by a component such as the ComfortCore™, makes it suitable for those who require or have been recommended firm, orthopedic support. However, this mattress won’t be the first choice for side sleepers, given its elevated firmness.

What customers thought

Verified customers have hailed the Sealy Blackwood Elevate as "extremely comfortable" and a "super bed." Others have commended its "great support" and "luxury feel," which aligns with the manufacturer's emphasis on orthopaedic support and top-quality materials. One customer mentioned how the mattress has been a great relief for her "back, neck, and painful joints." The majority consensus indicates that this mattress delivers on its promise of comfort and structural integrity, despite its high price point.

The verdict

The Sealy Blackwood Elevate Posturepedic Mattress possesses features and a level of quality that cements its place among high-end offerings. It's evident why the mattress comes with a 25-year guarantee: It's carefully designed and innovatively equipped to serve your sleep needs and enhance your sleep experience. That said, there's a clear sentiment that Sealy products are becoming increasingly expensive, and this one is no exception. Therefore, this mattress will appeal to customers willing to make a sizable investment in a mattress that offers exceptional firm, orthopedic support, and a good night's sleep. If this aligns with your sleep preferences and are willing to pay a higher price, rest assured the Sealy Blackwood Elevate Posturepedic Mattress promises to make every penny worth your while.

Suitability

*Assuming average weight, suitability will vary dependant on body type, use the quiz above for a more tailored guide.
  • Back Sleepers
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • The amount of support offered from a mattress will vary depending on the firmness of the tension and the type of support layer used. Based on a person of average build.
  • Side Sleepers
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • If you sleep on your side you typically need a supportive tension that is not too firm, nor too soft. This is because your hips and shoulders need adequate sinkage.
  • Stomach Sleepers
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • Stomach sleepers need a reasonable amount of tension in the base support layer to adequately offer body contouring and help prevent aches and pains. Results will vary based on your build.

Performance

  • Stability
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • Depending on the type of support layer in place can have an impact on stability, edge to edge support and roll together prevention. Pocket springs of a firmer tension will have better stability than open coil soft tension, for example.

Ease of Use

  • Turning handles
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • Mattresses typically need to be rotated frequently and having turning handles can be massively beneficial, particularly in larger sizes which can become fairly heavy.

Odour

  • Initial Odour
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • Materials in mattresses, particularly memory foam and rolled bed-in-a-box mattresses can have an initial odour, this is typically short term and reduces considerably within 24 hours.
  • Long Standing Odour
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • Certain materials inside different mattresses can produce a small odour. Typically this is short term rather than long standing but there are minor exceptions.

Brand Rating

  • Overall Brand Rating
    ★★★★★
    ★★★★★
  • This is based on community driven customer reviews tied to product reviews and grouped together at a brand level to produce a score.
