Sealy Essentials 3" Gel-Infused Cooling Memory Foam Mattress Topper review

Sealy's Essentials topper is the pick for shoppers who want a familiar mattress brand on the label. It is 3 inches of gel-infused memory foam with a medium feel, and Sealy describes a floating-on-air response that reacts quickly to small movements while adding support for hips, back and shoulders. It comes in 2-inch and 3-inch versions, ships compressed in a box and needs about 24 hours to fully expand, and the foam is CertiPUR-US certified. The 3-inch queen was $114.00 on Walmart.com when we checked, and oddly the 2-inch queen was listed higher at $122. That puts it level with the 4-inch Zinus, which has more foam and a longer warranty. Sealy covers this topper for 1 year, the shortest term on this list, and the foam is spot clean only.
