Sealy Posturepedic Exquisite Aspen Medium

Sealy Posturepedic Exquisite Aspen Medium Review

The Sealy Posturepedic Exquisite Aspen Medium has a sophisticated construction that includes special cooling materials to help regulate sleep temperature.

Purchase and delivery

This mattress can be ordered online through the Forty Winks website. It can also be purchased through any of Forty Winks’ stores across Australia.

Delivery is available Australia-wide but delivery fees (and times) do vary. Online delivery fees are based on your location from the nearest store, and delivery times will depend on stock availability. For more details, see our ‘Delivery’ section below.

Visually, the Sealy Posturepedic Exquisite Aspen Medium presents with plenty of style and class. It sits 32 cm high and gives off a distinct luxurious vibe.

Comfort and support

The top comfort layer of this mattress includes an ‘Ice-Touch’ fabric that is noticeably cool to touch. In addition, this comfort layer uses natural wool fibre, soft touch knit fabric, and two layers of comfort foams.

This comfort layer offers smooth pressure relief and absorbs body weight evenly. The mattress should suit all sleeping positions (side sleepers, back sleepers, and stomach sleepers), but this suitability will vary between individuals.

We rated the Sealy Posturepedic Exquisite Aspen Medium as a ‘medium-firm’ feel and a 7 / 10 on the firmness scale. Please note that our firmness ratings are just a guide and they do not necessarily relate to comfort. Furthermore, our firmness ratings are assigned based on Bedbuyer’s testing process and these may differ from firmness ratings given by individual companies.

The support structure used in the Sealy Posturepedic Exquisite Aspen Medium is a spring system called RestSUPPORT™. This spring unit feels robust and will accomodate people of all sizes. It offers excellent spinal support and feels noticeably more stable than most of the other Sealy Posturepedic spring systems that we have tested.

In terms of responsiveness, we rated the Sealy Posturepedic Exquisite Aspen Medium as optimal. In basic terms, this means that changing sleep positions (and intimate activities) shouldn’t cause any trouble.

Please note that our responsiveness scales are just a guide and preferred responsiveness levels will vary between individuals. It’s worth noting also that innerspring mattresses are generally more responsive than foam mattresses.

The finer details

In terms of build quality and craftsmanship, the Sealy Posturepedic Exquisite Aspen Medium is excellent. Edge support is sound thanks to its UniCased®XT perimeter technology, and handles on all sides should make it easy to transport and rotate the mattress.

As we alluded to earlier, the spring system is stable and isolates motion well. This means that partner disturbance is minimal, but this will depend on the size of the occupants of the bed.

It’s worth noting here that this mattress is Australian made and has a 10 year warranty.

What bed base should I use?

As with most mattresses, we recommend the Sealy Posturepedic Exquisite Aspen Medium to be used with a solid bed frame (such as the Sleep Republic Pro Base), or a solid ensemble base (with the slats no longer than 8 cm apart).

A bed frame (with flexible slats) may still be adequate, but again, we strongly recommend that the distance between each slat is less than 8 cm. Use of an unsupportive mattress foundation will usually void the mattress warranty.

Sleep Republic Pro Base

Furthermore, we do not recommend the Sealy Posturepedic Exquisite Aspen Medium to be used with an adjustable (electric) bed base as this will also void the warranty. Here is our full list of mattresses that are compatible with an adjustable bed base.

It’s worth noting here that mattress firmness, performance, and durability will vary with different bed bases.

Available sizes

The Sealy Posturepedic Exquisite Aspen Medium is available in 7 sizes (super king, king, queen, double, king single, long single and single ) so it should suit all sleeping arrangements.

Here are Australia’s standard bed (mattress) sizes in 2021.

Final verdict

The Sealy Posturepedic Exquisite Aspen Medium is an impressive mattress. It uses quality comfort materials and a durable spring system.

Bedbuyer’s rating:  4.4 / 5
