We bought the Sedgewick Extra Firm mattress and we like the firmness and the cushioning on top. We had a Sealy Posturepedic Plush and the Sedgewick is firmer. We just had it delivered to us today so I don't know how it is going to sleep. It will probably take some time to get used to it after the old one. The Sealy had a depression in the middle after 18 years. I knew we wanted a firm mattress and we checked prices at several stores. For us our best choice was at Mattress Express.
