The Posturepedic Elite Spring is for people who want Sealy's best coil system but a traditional innerspring feel. Sealy builds it with PrecisionFit coils and MaxSupport Technology, a gel foam layer of up to 2.5 inches and the SealyChill cooling cover. Albany II, the Good tier, is 14 to 15 inches tall and comes as a firm tight top or a soft pillow top. The firm tight top queen cost $1,699 on sealy.com when checked, $100 off its $1,799 list price; Sealy lists the Brenham II Elite Spring from $1,999. Compared with the $799 Posturepedic Spring, you pay more for the extra MaxSupport coils and the cooling cover. Compared with the Albany II Hybrid at $1,899, you save $200 but lose the memory foam. That makes it a narrow pick: firm-mattress fans who want Elite coils and do not want foam contouring. Delivery is free and in-home, with a 90-night trial.
