Step 1
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.

Step 2
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.

Step 3
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.

Step 4
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.

Step 5
Look at price range on the latex mattress. A Comfort Series queen mattress set should cost anywhere from $1,400 to $1,800. A good price on a Spring Free queen mattress set begins at about $1,899 and goes up from there.
