by The Sealy Posturepedic Medina firm m offers the best of worlds, support, and comfort in one mattress. The mattress has become especially popular among heavy couples with stomach and back sleeping positions and who prefer motion isolation, reinforced edge support, and, most importantly, pressure relief for back support. However, some sleepers find the mattress medium-firm, while others feel it is substantial instead of Firm.
Therefore, we recommend the Saatva Classic mattress as a better alternative to ensure everything is clear. Saatva Classic offers three different firmness levels suitable for all sleepers. Comparatively, it has better-reinforced edge support, cooling technology for hot sleepers, and durability. Lastly, it uses high-quality organic materials for safety and health concerns.

Who Do We Recommend The Mattress to?
We recommend the mattress for the following:
- Heavy sleepers with back and side sleeping positions will find the best support while sleeping.
- Couples looking for reinforced edge support will sleep comfortably, knowing they won’t fall off the edges.
- Sleepers are looking for a hybrid sleep bed instead of a memory or a latex foam surface.
Avoid the Mattress
We recommend avoiding the mattress if:
- You are a petite sleeper below 130 lbs, as the bed may not provide responsive support.
- Motion isolation is your priority as the bed performs averagely for couples‘ basic motion isolation needs.
Comfort and Firmness
Being a firmed mattress, it rates between 7-8 out of 10. In addition, the bed has great pressure relief comfort as it features a layer of gel memory foam paired with its motion-reducing fabric-packed encased coils. Together they offer great comfort and support for sleepers by maintaining their body weight well-distributed.
However, there may be better choices than this mattress for combo sleepers as they may not find an adequate responsive surface. The bed has a high top and does not feel too bouncy.
Therefore, these sleepers can try the Saatva Classic as a better alternative. In addition, Saatva can offer them more support and comfort as required regarding pressure relief, bounce, and support.
Performance
The Sealy Hybrid Medina mattress performs exceptionally well for most kinds of sleepers. Whether you are a couple looking for reinforced edge support, the mattress offers Stable Edge Pro with Response encased coils to prevent falling off the edges. Hot sleepers will find a cool and breathable sleeping bed as the mattress features SealCool gel memory foam with
Surface-Guard and Moisture Protect to keep the bed cool and breathable, free of moisture. Moreover, it has enough motion isolation from the coil system, and the combination of SealSupport gel foam with Sealy Support foam offers great support and pressure relief.
Is it a Good Mattress For Back Sleepers?
The mattress is a good choice for heavy back sleepers as it offers great pressure relief while keeping their spine aligned for the best support. Moreover, it can mold around the back sleepers to provide great night support.
However, petite or some averaged back sleepers may not find the best support from this mattress. Therefore, we recommend the Saatva Classic as a better option with its three different firmness options.
Sagging and Edge Support
The mattress features different layers of memory foam, which are solid and durable. Therefore, we expect the bed to stay strong without sagging. Moreover, it features 660 fabric-wrapped Response encased coils to offer reinforced edge support which most couples need. So, with reinforced Edge Support, the mattress provides more sleep surface than any other option.
Motion Isolation
If being a couple, motion Isolation is your priority. Unfortunately, this mattress does not offer the best. The bed has a coils system that does not absorb the motion transference too well despite having upper memory foam layers. In addition, heavy sleepers tend to pass more disturbances than petite or average sleepers. Therefore, they need more solid motion isolation options.
Although the Saatva Classic does not have much motion isolation, its plush soft version for little sleepers is comparatively better.
Sleeping Weight and Positions
With a firm sleep feeling, the mattress is best suitable for heavy and average sleepers with back and stomach sleeping positions. The bed has a tight top cover which these sleepers find optimum for body contouring. Moreover, it has different layers of support memory foam for pressure relief and body weight distribution handling to make it the best choice for them.
However, petite sleepers may need help finding the required comfort. They can try Saatva Classic as it offers three firmness levels with Plush soft, Luxury firm, and Firm with 3, 6, and 8 out of 10.
Breathability and Heat Transfer
The hybrid Medina mattress sleeps cooler than most like-to-like mattresses as it features a SealyCool gel memory foam layer with a Surface-Guard and MoistureProtect foam layer to provide a cool and breathable sleep surface. It also helps to wick away moisture, thus keeping the hot sleepers relaxed and calm all night.
The Saatva Classic can be a better choice for hot sleepers as it features pocketed coils. Unlike memory foam, it has Euro-top polyfoam and fibers, which are usually more relaxed.
Durability
All the different memory foam layers used in the Sealy Medina mattress are durable and long-lasting, and made with quality materials. Moreover, it offers a 10-year warranty to guarantee no sagging anytime soon. Therefore, the bed will be as durable as we thought.
However, if you need solid durability, we recommend Saatva Classic. The mattress uses high-quality organic and natural materials in its construction. Moreover, the foam layers are highly dense and don’t lose shape for many years. Most importantly, it has a lifetime warranty with a 365-night trial period that no one has offered yet.

Our Verdict
The Sealy Posturepedic Hybrid Medina mattress is ideal for an affordable yet luxurious sleep bed. It can provide excellent support, optimal spinal alignment, and pressure relief, suitable best for back sleepers.
Its unique foam layering design with a Pro Response Encased coils system can contour around the body fairly to keep you comfy all night. However, this mattress may have low durability and will only last five to six years. Petite and some average sleepers may not find ideal sleep support and comfort due to the mattress’s firm type.
On the other hand, the Saatva Classic mattress comes with a lifetime warranty. In addition, its three firmness levels can provide the required support.
