Buy Sealy Posturepedic Plus - naplab.com/go/sealy-posturepedic-plus-ridgecrest-ii-mattress Questions? Ask away! I do my best to answer all questions within 24 hours.
Thanks for the great review as always! I was considering the tight top version of the Posturepedic Plus as I have a topper I love. Do you feel the coils are quality? I wont need the comfort layer? So the foam quality isnt as important for me...
Damn, I was actually about to buy this mattress. I was on vacation in Australia and the hotel had really comfortable mattresses. I asked them what the model was and they said it was a "Sealy Posturpedic Crown Jewel". Unfortunately, it appears the Crown Jewel isn't sold in the USA (or the models I have found on the internet for sale in the USA do not look like the Australian version). This RidgeCrest sort of resembles the Crown Jewel so I was thinking about getting it, but I guess I'll look at some of your other mattress videos. I'm a side sleeper who gets hot, going to see if you have other Costco mattress recommendations. Thanks.
Glad the video was helpful. I think you'll be much happier with the Leesa Legend. In our tests, it was a significantly stronger performing mattress compared to the Ridgecrest.
Thanks for the review. Have you also reviewed beautyrest silver BRS900 EXTRA FIRM 11.75 inches? And would you know how it compares against this, being in the similar price range.
Unfortunately, we haven't reviewed the extra firm model, but I have reviewed the medium-firm version. You can see a side by side of how the two compare here - naplab.com/tools/side-by-side-mattress-comparison-tool/?_mattress_name_dropdown=beautyrest-silver%2Csealy-posturepedic-plus-ridgecrest-ii
@@NapLabReviews thanks for sharing this, it helps. The results are pretty close comparing Sealy's firm With BRS medium firm. Not sure if the BRS900 extra firm would score at par or better. Sealys firm King is at costco for about 850+ and BRS900 king extra firm is at mattressfirm for about 650+. Any suggestions amongst the two or a better extra firm alternative in the above price range ?
@@rohankhna For the extra firm feel I haven't found any mattress that's better than Plank Firm - naplab.com/mattress-reviews/plank-firm-review/ That's what I would recommend.
Can you find out if this Ridgecrest II is the same as Macys Castlewood/Mattress firm's Satisfied II/Ashley Furniture Euclid Avenue ? If they are indeed the same mattress, but different names to lock pricing, I wonder what other companies and mattresses follow the same route.
They at least look very similar. However, it would be impossible for me to say if they are the same without ordering each of them and cutting them open. Virtually all major traditional brands employ this tactic (and so do some direct to consumer brands)...which is make the same mattress, but sell it under different names depending on the retailer (often at different prices). Some times there will be slight changes like a single material layer or a cover will be a bit different so they can justify the higher price point. This tactic is designed to make it difficult to comparison shop between retailers.
Well, came across this after buying this mattress basically due to advertised as Firm. Not much firm and I get hot in the middle of the body. Is there any other better recommended? Also, did you review Kirkland Signature by Stearns & Foster 14.5" Lakeridge Mattress.
There are tons of mattresses we've tested that are better performers than RidgeCrest II. Here are my favorite options within this price range - naplab.com/best-mattress/best-affordable-mattress/ We are currently testing the Kirkland Signature. We'll have that published on NapLab.com within the next 2-3 weeks.
Apparently this mattress is labeled as "cushion firm" on tag.. Can you confirm this? Cushion firm is technically medium for sealy, Which would make this equal to the Medium one sold at MF. IT WOULD make sense given there are only 3 main "satisfied" levels from the original release.. IE 13" medium.. and PLUSH, and Medium EURO TOP Thank you!!
Unfortunately, we no longer have the tags. I would be surprised if Mattress Firm sold this exact model, as many mattress models at Costco have more unique and stripped down designs to make them less expensive.
Edge support was good during our tests. However, I don't have much confidence in the longevity / durability of this mattress in the long-term, especially with respect to sagging / body impressions.
We're testing that one currently. We should have our contextual review published here - naplab.com/mattress-reviews/sealy-posturepedic-plus-mount-auburn-review/ - in a couple of weeks. The video will probably be up sometime in June / July.
You are right, our original scoring system needed an overhaul, and that's exactly what it got 2 months ago. We completely reworked our scoring system and updated scores for every mattress on site. RidgeCrest's updated score is a 7.60 You can see the full updated scores here - naplab.com/mattress-reviews/sealy-posturepedic-plus-ridgecrest-ii-review/ And a full explanation of why / how we made the updates to our scoring system here - naplab.com/how-we-test-mattresses/explaining-our-2024-updates/
A 3-4" topper will definitely help. Something like this - www.amazon.com/LINENSPA-Infused-Memory-Mattress-Topper/dp/B07MY34QH7?tag=nl_1002-20 That said, in a perfect world I wouldn't use a topper unless you're unable to return it and just get something better suited to your needs.
We recently updated our scoring system from version 1.1 to 1.2, as a result, all scores changed site-wide (with all scores going down, as it is now harder to earn the best scores in our system).

Naplab is spot on. This bed is absolute trash. I got the plush version and it was still hard as a rock. Support layer is only an inch if that. Like he said the support layer is made of janky crunchy foam. You lay down and within 2 seconds your shoulder hits the concrete layer. Costco should be ashamed of themselves for selling such a trash product.
Their products are awful. I had a Horrible experience with both the product and costumer service. Bought 2 air mattress both deflated within 1 month, Indication of the quality of all products.

Questions? Ask away! I do my best to answer all questions within 24 hours.
If you prefer a firmer feel, is the firm mattress the way to go vs the plush. Also, is firm better for heavier set sleepers?
@@fozzbear1 Yes, if you prefer a firmer feel then you would go with the firm version.
And yes, firm is better for heavier weighted bodies.
Always returnable too. No questions. That adds much value.
Thank for a honest review
It's my pleasure!

I would say the coil unit is fine, but also nothing I'm impressed with.

I guess I might go with the Leesa Legend 12" Hydrid from Costco instead. The queen is on sale for $900 right now, only $50 than the RidgeCrest.

Do the side sag ? Present mattress sags, feels like I am falling out of bed. 220 lbs.

When you give a mattress 9.2/10 that you also say isn't comfortable and has big support issues, you know your rating system is terrible.

I got the firm version of this. Any recommendations on how to make it softer as it is too firm for me?
