Sealy Pillowtop Mattress — 

We purchased a Sealy pillowtop 7 months ago.  Within 2 weeks I felt an indent where I sleep.  The next month my husband noticed his.

I returned to the place of purchase and was told to sleep in the middle and we would loose them.  We tried that  and turned the bed as well, only to have new indents form.  Sealy will warranty the bed  ONCE it has 1 1/2 inch indents. The warrantee is good  for 10 years too  which is rather nice of them in my opinion.  

Well ours are about are in the 1/2 inch range yet feel like 15.   By next year  with luck, they may be in the 1 to 1/2 range.  However,  my back is sore every morning now  and my husband is up earlier becuase he tosses.....I can't imagine waiting.   I do have an almost 1 1/2 inch indents in the upper corner where the mattress pad elastic sits. ( alas  that's does not count either ) 

I have 2 other Sealy pillowtops. (queen size though) Like mine they were one below the top quality because I felt it was a wee bit softer.   They are fine, no indents  and still very soft and comfortable  3 years after purchase.  (we love our teenagers or we would kick them out of their beds and make them sleep in ours). 

I think it's sad,  the mattress store wont' get credit from sealy therefore can't help me with return although  he is very aware this is a problem with my mattress.  My issues  with are growing  since this is a smaller town  and we prefer to buy locally. 

The Sealy website says " Your body needs a smooth, comfortable sleep surface to get a regenerative nights sleep. Your mattress should enable you to sleep through the night with minimal tossing and turning"    Allrighty then  ---  I am shopping out of town today for a temperpedic memory foam mattress, which in my opinion isn't as comfortable when you first crawl in.   Oh well, such is life.    Anyone need a $1500  mine field disquised as a very comfortable bed ?

I too just brought a Sealy Pillowtop "firm" mattress and it is only 2 months old and the same thing has happen to me My indents are 1 1/4 and you are right it is like sleeping in a ditch If I had known this is what this mattress was going to do I would of gotten something else I wanted a firm mattress not something that was going to conform to my body and it is funny that it is just "conforming right in the middle of the bed

I've gone through two of these mattesses for the same reason! One was taken back and the sales manager assured us it was a defective mattress and probably wouldn't happen again...Ha! They are coming on Friday to measure the indentations on the second mattress and this is worse than the first one. I am so disappointed in Sealy Posturepedic Spring Free Fairway Dunes Euro Pillow Top Mattress!

I would call Sealy direct on this. You shouldn't have to wait for it to dent that bad before they do something.
