Brenham II is our answer to which Sealy mattress is the best for most buyers. It sits in the middle of Sealy's Posturepedic Elite Hybrid range, which Sealy labels Good, Better and Best, and it carries the parts that make Elite different from the cheaper Posturepedic lines: PrecisionFit coils, an extra set of MaxSupport coils for targeted support, a DuraFlex coil edge and Sealy's ComfortSense gel memory foam. The comfort layer is 2.5 inches thick, half an inch more than Albany II, and the mattress stands 14 inches tall. The queen cost $2,199 on sealy.com when we checked, $100 below its $2,299 list price, with free in-home delivery, a 90-night trial and a 10-year limited warranty. High Point II adds up to 3.5 inches of foam and a cooling foam for another $200, plus a medium feel, which matters mostly to hot sleepers. If you do not need the Elite coil system, the standard Posturepedic Hybrid costs less than half as much.

Who it is for
