About the Sealy Exquisite Platinum Extravagance Mattress
Last checked
For a shopper trying to balance pressure relief with steadiness, the Sealy Exquisite Platinum Extravagance Mattress sits in the comfort-led middle of the firmness scale: medium, 3 of 5. That rating is the most decision-useful part of the build brief, because it points to a mattress designed to give before it resists, allowing the shoulders and hips to settle rather than holding the body on a hard, flat plane. Honest comfort-first tuning, not an orthopaedic claim. Compared with firm orthopaedic mattresses, this sort of medium tension is less about bracing the lumbar area through sheer resistance and more about easing contact pressure while keeping enough support for normal nightly movement. The practical reality is that back sleepers get a more forgiving feel than a firmer Sealy would provide, while side sleepers are given the easier shoulder and hip compliance that often makes a mattress feel comfortable quickly. Without leaning on inflated luxury language, the spec position is clear: this is not a hard support product dressed up as plush, but a medium-feel mattress where the comfort proposition is doing much of the work.
Medium tension drives the suitability more than any single comfort label here, and the clearest fit is for average-weight side sleepers who want relief around the hips, ribs and shoulders without dropping into a very soft mattress. Sleep quality improves in the more positive feedback, with reduced lower-back stiffness, less hip and skeletal discomfort, and a more rested start to the morning coming through as repeated praise points, which matches what a medium comfort setting is meant to do for pressure-sensitive sleepers. Back sleepers of average build may still get on with it, especially where a hard mattress has felt punishing, but those needing firmer lumbar resistance will probably want a firmer construction class rather than another medium-feel model. Cost is the recurring hesitation even among satisfied buyers, and the lower-rating detail is practical rather than comfort-based: the mattress is heavy to manoeuvre, and a lingering new smell remained despite airing. Rotation will be a two-person job for many households. Couples with different comfort needs may find the medium feel a reasonable compromise, particularly where one partner has pain around the hip or back, but it is less convincing for a pair who both prefer a taut, flatter sleep surface. For average-weight side sleepers and pain-sensitive sleepers wanting a forgiving medium feel, this is the right call. For firmer back support, easier handling, or odour sensitivity, look at firmer orthopaedic mattresses instead.

I have had my mattress for 3 weeks. I love it. Since sleeping on this mattress it has relieved my lower back pain considerably and I and getting a much better nights sleep. Waking up in the morning with much less stiffness and feeling rested and ready for the day ahead. Very expensive but worth the money. Since a third of your day is spent in bed I want to be as comfortable as possible. It's the Rolls Royce of mattresses!
I spend a lot of time in bed due to a chronic disability and my husband suffers from back and hip pain. I have previously bought Sealy mattresses so when we needed a new one we bought this Sealy mattress. Initially it may seem expensive but when you're in terrible pain 24/7 this is by far the most comfortable mattress out there. Before buying Sealy 20 plus years ago I felt as if my mattress was attacking me! What a blessed relief to find this one. My husband was rather shocked at the price but the next day the first thing he said was "wow, my pain has gone" when you consider how long you're in bed over a life time a good mattress is so important and the cost over the years pays for itself. I honestly can't recommend this highly enough. Always buying from Bensons has made the experience a pleasure from visiting the show room, laying on the mattresses (for hours!!) very knowledgable sales personnel, through to delivery and taking out old mattress away was excellent. Once you've "found the one" you'll not want to go anywhere else!! Do swivel your mattress regularly as it will increase its lifespan! It's easy to do! I use a good mattress protector first, then my electric blanket, then a second mattress protector followed by a fitted sheet etc. My last Sealy mattress lasted 12 years, baring in mind I'm in it 85% of the time. It should be changed sooner but the guys couldn't believe how great it still looked. My daughter, in her 30's also has a similar mattress and finds it helps her aches too. Always buying a suitable base to put your mattress on! I have a very soft brush that we use to gently brush the mattress to remove any dust etc. it also has plenty of hand grips to use when swivelling the mattress around so you're not always sleeping on same area and my husband does this every time the bedding is changed, you care for your mattress and it'll take care of you!!
The bed is perfect and it has addressed a lot of skeletal muscular problems. Many of them have subsided since I have had the new mattress. It is a heavy weight mattress so it takes more than one person to manouver. I would have given it a 5 star rating, however the smell from the new mattresses has not subsided. I followed the online instructions from Sealy but it still has an odour.
