Replacing a Sealy Nostromo Posturepedic 1400

Hi Scott,

Thank you for your question. It seems that your Sealy Nostromo Posturpedic 1400 mattress has been discontinued which can make it difficult to gain information about the construction. This is a firm onesided mattress with latex as the comfort layer. The pocket springs don't have any gauge or tension provided, knowing this is essential when looking for a new mattress. Pocket springs are made with weight tolerances, which is why you always should choose the spring tension based on your height and body weight. The correct level of support will help to keep your spine aligned without being forced into an unnatural postion. At your body weights, we would pair you with the medium spring tension.

More often than not retailers mistakenly list the 'comfort' of the mattress as the spring tension which can be quite confusing, the level of comfort comes from the upholstery fillings, not the spring unit. When considering which comfort layers would be the most suitable, you should consider both your sleep positions and comfort preferences. We do not recommend firm upholstery for side sleepers as this can cause pressure pains in your shoulders, hips and knees. Likewise, we do not recommend soft upholstyer for front and back sleepers as this can cause lower back pain.

Our closest mattress in terms of consturction is our Origins Pocket Latex 1500. The support is provided by medium springs as standard, however, if your partner is used to a very firm support, this mattress is available with the 2000 spring option which we normally recommend for customers who weigh over 105 kg. We also have a dual spring tension available for the zip and link option in kingsize and above. This mattress has two layers of Talalay latex which provides a progressive supportive feel.  Latex requires pressure to be able to mould to you which means the lighter your body weight, the firmer the mattress will feel and vice versa. At your body weights, this mattress will provide a firmer medium overall level of comfort.

If you would prefer a two sided mattress that you can turn it each month to help even out natural settlement and get longer lifespan, you could consider our Artisan Tailored Pocket 2000,  It features two tiers of pocket springs which which provide a progressive, bouncier support and a true medium level of comfort in the 85% natural fibre upholstery layres,  natural fibres are much more breathable than manmade fibres, providing a cooler sleep surface and help regulating your body temperature, they are also more durable than synthetic fibres and foams.

I hope this helps and if you would like any further information or would like to discuss your individual needs, please do not hesitate to contact the office on 0161 437 4419.

Kind Regards
