The January 2021 issue of Consumer Reports rates about 10 different Sealy mattresses, and many other brands as well.

One of the highest rated Sealy mattresses is the cheapest, and one of the lowest rated mattresses is double the price.

In general, do you find Consumer reports ratings reliable and helpful?

And, which brand/s is known to make the best mattresses, especially if you like firm mattresses?

How do Sealy and Simmons compare, reputation-wise?

I do marketing for a few mattress brands and consumer reports can be helpful, but are often biased towards certain things.

Better to watch a few video reviews from sleepopolis and tuck etc. etc to narrow down the search and see each mattress in action. Just make sure to watch a few different review sites because they're all affiliates for some brands and a cross section will help with an unbiased decision.

Also, get one that gives you a free trial (most do) so you can try it and see.

And if you can wait until presidents day, that's when the best promos happen. You'll get a good deal just by waiting, but some offer better deals to subscribers so sign up for the email list of the company that you want prior just in case.

Good luck!
