Geltex and Sealy Adelaide questions

Elizabeth asked
9th June 2014

Thank you for such an informative website and article. I recently have investigated a geltex Sealey Adelaide divan bed – although there was not much difference between this and the Vienna Sealey style bed. I wanted a firm support bed with the geltex as it felt really comfortable. In addition, my mum was also looking at buying a geltex bed to support her joints after recent knee arthritis flare up. Obviously they are pricey beds!

I was concerned about a five year warranty with the newness of the geltex technology and I have asked countless times in several shops, will the geltex deteriorate to which I have been told it does not. The Adelaide is •2800 Pocket Springs – 1400 zoned motion pocket springs enhanced with a further 1400 mini pocket springs for support •Unirail® surrounds •Deep layer of Geltex (apparently!) Have you got any similar spec that matches this?

Is latex just as effective?

I’d really appreciate any advice or guidance. Thanks very much

Hi Elizabeth,

If you’re looking for a firm support mattress then our Origins Latex has a similar construction method to the Geltex you have seen.
We only use one layer of springs as I find in my experience that the mini pocket springs don’t add any real benefit to the mattress.
In some of the models I tested it just made them more springy and I wonder about the lifespan of such small springs compared to full sized 6 turn pocket springs, which are usually a standard design.

 

If you’re looking for a supportive but forgiving mattress, because a rock hard bed is no good for anyone, then latex is a far superior material compared to any synthetic foam on the market as its breathable and far more responsive.

 

The Sealy Rosebery is a good comparator to our Origins 1500 pocket latex albeit it doesn’t state the blend of latex and ours is a high 80% natural latex blend.
Ideally, I’d need to know your weights and heights to give a true recommendation on our John Ryan Range.
