The Sealy Ivy Brook mattress causes health problems. Very poorly made.
I had 2 great experiences w Sealy prior to this Ivy Brook purchase. Money is tighter these days, so couldn't just buy another one. Unfortunately, this mattress has caused major health issues, which affects my work & daily life. I must replace it.
I am furious at such a horrible product Sealy put out there.

This is a hybrid between innner spring and memory foam. Having several Sealy Posturpedics in my lifetime with success, I had purchased based on the name and how it felt in the store. Less than 2 years in, this bed turned to mush and developed huge body impressions creating a high hump in the middle (think of a W shape almost). Needless to say, it has wreaked havoc on our backs. Do not believe the 10 year warranty. The only warranty is through the distributor you buy from, not Sealy directly (if you call Sealy, they will direct you back to the distributor), and their "independent" contractors told us the impressions were .25 inches away from being covered under warranty for a replacement (how convenient!). You can't flip this mattress either as it's one sided, the most you can do is move the head to bottom. As of 2 years later, it is even worse and we are getting a different bed. To me, $1700 for a bed that breaks down after less than 2 years and is totally unusable after 4 is a complete waste of money! Stay away.

Bought this from the Room Store, 3 yrs ago to replace my queen size pillow top mattress. I loved my previous mattress, but my dog loved ripping the foam & stuffing out of it more. I'm only 95 lbs, so this mattress is way too firm for me. I wake up, sweaty w/backaches, leg stiffness, & pain in my neck. I bought a 3 inch queen size foam topper. The sweating & leg pain stopped, but the back & neck pain persists. If you weight less 130, don't buy this mattress; buy a pillow top mattress instead.

my partner and myself both lay on each side in ditch, 1 weigh 154 and pounds, not tall, that should not be and in the middle of the mattress is a high rise, have to lay a pillow on the outside so i do not roll off the bed. my partner weighs 214 pounds and regular size.
I paid a lot of money and the mattress i think is not too old. We just lay and sleep on it.
All in all we are very unhappy.

Went with firm-top for my back cause of a few car accidents.
It definitely took a few weeks to get use to. That firm top actually needs to get broken in but does ease up. Just enough though, you don't loose any support.
I sleep on my back, sides and stomach, depending how I feel. I've been getting less interrupted sleep from not having the shift around as much as I used to on my old mattresses. Sleep's getting a bit deeper each night as I get use to and break in the mattress.
Only negative is I haven't noticed the 'cool gel' keeping me any less cooler compare to my old mattress. But maybe that's just me...

It started getting lumpy and hard within the first two years. Even after sleeping in every direction including sideways and also turning the mattress around, it just got more uncomfortable by the day!

When we went bed shopping, in the end we consentrated on Leons and Sears. Leons was pushing this bed as having all the bells and whistles and at over half off. Of course we needed a cover to keep stains off or we would void the warrenty. So we fell for all of that . As soon as we slept on it we both noticed it was hot, even with the built in cooling razzmatazz. So we called and they recommended trying it without the $120 cover they sold us. Made no difference. I'm a big guy but our previous bed which as a serta, never did this. Even in the dead of winter I have to throw the covers off until one side of me is frozen then go back under the lone comforter.
On top of that, after a while my wife, who isn't large, complained springs seemed to dig into her side and I started noticing a lot of uncomfortable spots too. Also the whole top moves over so when we rotate it, I have to grab the pillow top part and pull it back over.
Anyway with less than 3 year we have desided to bite the bullet and buy the Serta we would have got at Sears since the Brick has it on sale. So it's costing me another $30 to have the brick get rid of the damn thing.
Serta here we come. Goodbye forever Sealy.
At first, I felt way too firm, but after one night sleep, don't wake up at all, stay cool, no pain. Maybe firm bed like this would be perfect to sleep. Feel more energy in the morning. Maybe old one was too soft.
