Learn more about our brand with these interesting facts.
1. From a humble company to a premium bedding brand
The company began in 1881 in Sealy, Texas and was the first to focus on aligned back support. It is now one of the largest bedding manufacturers in the world. Sealy Asia Pacific caters to markets that constitute over half of the world’s population.
Sealy’s Posturepedic mattresses are by far their best and most popular bed range, remaining top of the bed and mattress market. The quality which appeals most about Sealy, is their focus on bed technology accompanied with their eye for aesthetic detail. Owing to this, and their consistent delivery of quality products, Sealy is still growing rapidly some 135 years later.
The history of Sealy
2. Engagement with orthopaedic surgeons
The Orthopaedic Advisory Board (OAB) was formed as a council of experts that provide insights into the development of bed and mattress products. By aiming to have a balance for proper back support and pressure relief, the OAB advises Sealy’s mattress research and development efforts to deliver the best products in the market.
This resulted in the development of orthopaedic mattresses that apply proper back support and not simply provide consumers with a comfortable mattress. Not only did this influence the structure of modern mattresses but also helped define what it means to have orthopaedically correct mattresses.
3. Investment in continuous innovation and testing
Sealy continues to invest in the world of mattress technology to create better support systems for our mattresses. Our main focus is always the internal technology of a mattress; striving to produce the most relaxing combinations of different layers, experimenting with various kinds of foam, fabric, gel and springs.
At Sealy, we believe in using the modern technology to constantly better your sleep experience. We use pressure mapping technology to develop our products according to what our customers really need and to determine which beds are best for them. We use motion capture technology to help us adjust our products the way you need them. Using this technology, we have worked hard to produce our Posturepedic mattresses to support our customers’ bodies at the critical spots, aligning it with the mattress at the needed angles.
After conducting extensive mattress research to understand what customers want from a quality bed, all our energies go into ensuring the superiority of the finished products. Each component is tested to make sure we meet the expected high standards and that the product performs as well as costumers would expect it to. Every specification for Sealy mattress is meticulously checked and rechecked to wipe it clean of faults. Our R&D and testing centre themselves go through rigorous procedures meeting and is approved by the National Association of Testing Authorities (NATA).

Why Sealy Posturepedic?
4. Focus on suport, comfort and durability
Getting a good night’s sleep is more than just about comfort and waking up on the “right side” of the bed. To help relieve common back pain problems caused by unsuitable beds, the bed and mattress professionals teamed up with orthopaedic surgeons to bring us correct support during our sleep.
Below is how Sealy, with help from orthopaedic surgeons, defined the meaning of Posturepedic design. These are:
- The mattress must maintain spinal alignment. This helps to eliminate backache and reduce muscle strain.
- The internal comfort layers must offer minimal pressure to relieve tossing and turning.
- The mattress must be able to deliver these benefits consistently for years with repeated use.
5. Twice tempered to fare better
Have you suffered from broken coils in your bed, or springs poking through the surface making it difficult to sleep without fear of pain? Have no fear, for Sealy is here. With the twice-tempered support systems in Sealy mattresses, there’s no chance of broken coils or jutting springs. Not only that, depending on your mattress range, the soft layers of gel-infused foam, memory foam and wool make sure that you don’t even notice the coils inside your bed.
Did you know, tempering is a process in which metal is heated to make it stronger and more resilient? With Sealy beds, coil systems for mattresses are tempered TWICE before the finished product is assembled and sent into the market. The mattress’s durability and survival chances are higher than any other in the market. Not only is it better for your bed, but for your body; providing support to the contours of your body while having the needed bed support too. The mattress dips as you need it to, and shapes itself around your body, cushioning it comfortably with just the right amount of firmness and softness. The more weight that is applied to it, the more it adjusts to support you. And you never need to fear a mishap because the mattress support is tough and flexible.
