Sealy Embody vs Serta iComfort
Both the Sealy Embody and Serta iComfort have their own take on the traditional memory foam mattress that they of course feel is the best. Memory foam in general has not changed much in the last 40 years or so among the many manufacturers excluding Tempurpedic and Simmons Comforpedic.
Innovative new materials and techniques allow mattress makers to address some of the short comings or complaints against the memory foam mattress such as too stiff, hot to sleep on and breaks down too fast.
Sealy Embody
The Embody memory foam mattress is very breathable compared to many other types of visco beds. It also sleeps cooler than the normal memory foam mattress for a better nights sleep. Featuring Body Climate fabrics by Polartec, the performance fabric helps to move air in and out to help regulate temperature during the night. When combined the the special foam used this allows the Embody to be up to 5 times more breathable than standard memory foam from other leading brands.
The performance fabric also wicks away moisture to keep you dry providing a healthier sleep surface. The Sealy Embody is also CFC free so you are not breathing in harmful chemicals. The Embody comes in four models and price starts at $1999.00 and goes up from there.
Serta iComfort
The iComfort is the newest addition to the Serta lineup and features something they call Cool Action Gel Memory Foam which has Serta’s Microsupport Gel. This new type of foam mattress is supposed to give you great support, comfort and pressure relief while keeping you much cooler than other brands of memory foam mattresses. They basically infuse their memory foam with the gel to produce a cooler mattress that gives you the benefits of traditional memory foam without the typical complaint about being too hot. The iComfort starts at around $1299.00 in a queen and goes up from there.
Serta iComfort vs Sealy Embody
It seems both the Embody and iComfort are trying to address one of the big complaints about Tempurpedic so they are not directly attacking but trying to pick up those that may be turned off by the idea of a mattress that sleeps hot. Both are quality sleep systems that fill a need in the mattress market. Comforpedic did beat them both to the “sleeps cooler” idea and has a big head start but time will tell who grabs the biggest piece of that pie. Both the Serta iComfort or Sealy Embody will be a good choice if you are shopping for a memory foam mattress and as a bonus are a little less than a Tempurpedic mattress.
