The Sealy Posturepedic Plus Deveraux 14 Plush Pillow Top is about a 3-4 on a 1-10 firmness scale - which makes it ideal for people that exclusively sleep on their side (and almost never back/stomach). Your ultimate goal is to find a compatible comfort level that matches your sleep style, body shape & mattress type preference. This is especially true for your long-term health & wellness.

Most people fall into 3 buckets, depending on your (1) weight and (2) sleep preference.

These 3 buckets are: (a) light, (b) average, and (3) heavy sleepers.

Light Sleeper: If you're a light sleeper (under 130 lbs), a plush soft firmness is ideal. You'll likely experience healthy compression in all sleep positions, which accommodates your sensitive pressure points. Because you're on the lighter side, the mattress should envelop you.

Average Sleeper: If you're an average sleeper (130-250 lbs), a plush soft comfort level may be too soft. There likely isn't enough cushioned support on the top layer of the mattress to adapt to your unique body shape. There is 1 important exception. If you know for a fact that you prefer a soft mattress, this should be more than fine (in fact it's probably an ideal firmness).

Heavy Sleeper: If you're on the heavier side (over 250 lbs), this is likely not the mattress for you. This mattress most likely won't provide necessary support that your neck, shoulders & hips need.

The Sealy Posturepedic Plus Deveraux 14 Plush Pillow Top has innerspring coils for support & a gel memory foam comfort layer resting above.

Additionally, the pillow-top does a fine job supporting your weight, providing a relatively wide sleep surface and decent edge support.

This hybrid innerspring and pillow-top combination is a standard, modern mattress construction. Even in older, potentially discontinued (or very difficult to find) models like this one.

This is a 'tried-and-true' style, even if material quality is potentially lower than more premium, popular (and rightfully so) mattresses online (like a Saatva, Winkbed, or Puffy).

Support & motion isolation for Sealy Posturepedic Plus Deveraux 14 Plush Pillow Top is fair (nothing exceptional).

The bottom innerspring coils combined with the gel memory foam do a fine job dissipating motion transfer across the mattress.

It's safe to say the Sealy Posturepedic Plus Deveraux 14 Plush Pillow Top Mattress is likely built to last 3-5+ years (before it's time to replace it). This is one of the main reasons why it's difficult to recommend this mattress.

The Sealy Posturepedic Plus Deveraux 14 Plush Pillow Top uses very basic cooling tech in both their top cover and construction. Don't get confused when you see proprietary names. These are fancy marketing techniques to make otherwise normal features appear more sophisticated and better than they likely are.

There are 2 primary factors that affect cooling in a mattress: (1) does MODEL have decent airflow?, and (2) does the top cover and construction wick moisture & dissipate heat?

If those 2 benefits don't exist, heat created by your body at night can trap temperature pockets inside the mattress. These airflow issues create a furnace for anyone laying on the mattress at night. Rising heat in a mattress could potentially cause a loss of REM sleep. Losing REM sleep carries a whole host of other negative health consequences (way too many to list here).

In the case of the , there's a chance small heat pockets like this could form. It's exceedingly difficult to compare mattress models and technologies, so we usually recommend either: (1) calling Sealy directly to confirm specific features of technologies, or (2) consider a luxury online mattress company (almost always a better option). In the case of #2, we strongly recommend taking a look at Saatva.
