I used to sleep on a Sealy pillow top. It was so soft and it literally felt like I was sinking into a cloud each night. After years of doing this I had more and more back pain. My body was soar when I woke up. I received the Sealy high point and I was thinking it would be a soft mattress like my pillow top. It wasn't, it was much firmer with a gel lining that made it softer. I couldn't believe that I was walking up with no back pain. As a runner, I will sometimes run 75 miles in a week. My body gets soar and pain around my lower back had gotten pretty bad. The hybrid mattress really helped with my lower back pain. I wake up feeling more rested than with my pillow top. I find myself sleeping better and spending less time trying to fall asleep and wake up. I am really happy with the Sealy High Point mattress and I will be recommending it to my friends and family for the holidays
