Determine whether the Sealy mattress a Spring Free or Comfort Series level mattress. This is important because Spring Free mattresses carry a 20-year warranty while Comfort Series only carry a 10-year warranty. To determine the level, ask a sales associate or look at the square on the foot of the mattress. It will be difficult to determine this information on-line, as the names of mattresses often vary from store to store.

Determine whether a 20-year warranty is necessary or if a 10-year warranty is suitable for you. Keep in mind that the warranties are often pro-rated. The main difference between Spring Free and Comfort Series mattresses is the amount of latex within the mattress. Spring Free mattresses have a 100 percent latex core while Comfort Series mattresses vary, having anywhere from 1.5 inches to 3.0 inches of latex foam in the mattress.

Determine the comfort level that is right for you. Do this by laying on several types of latex beds for at least 15 minutes each. Notice the differences in a plush and a firm. The Sealy latex mattresses come in ultra plush, plush, cushion firm and firm. Ultra plush is the softest, while firm is the hardest.

Check with a sales associate about whether the store provides a comfort guarantee on its mattresses. Most stores do provide some sort of guarantee to help the customer feel more at ease about purchasing a mattress. It is difficult to get a good idea of how a mattress will feel after a full nights sleep in the small amount of time you test it in the store.

Tips & Warnings
Natural latex contains a protein in them that is sometimes fatal to people who are allergic to the specific protein. Sealy uses a process to produce synthetic latex, thus, this protein is not present in any of their mattresses. In fact, even mattresses made of natural latex are must have this protein taken out of the mattress before it can be sold. Therefore, latex allergies should not be a real concern when purchasing a latex mattress.
