Sealy Posturepedic Plus Mount Auburn Review

Rating: 6.2
Verified
Buy Sealy
The Sealy Posturepedic Plus Mount Auburn mattress is a 13-inch coil mattress available at Costco for around $700. It has a medium-firm feel and is constructed with a quilted cover, poly foam comfort layer, pocketed coils, and a support foam base. Despite its budget-friendly price, it scored poorly in performance tests, particularly in pressure relief, cooling, and motion transfer. It is best suited for back and stomach sleepers under 200 pounds. The mattress offers good edge support and bounce but has significant heat retention and high motion transfer. It also has a strong initial odor that takes a long time to dissipate. Alternatives like the Helix Midnight or Zoma Start may offer better value and performance.
