Leading mattress brand Sealy’s latest sleep study shows that untested mattresses bought online are more likely to cause aches and pains.
Australian brand Sealy, which makes mattresses such as the Posturepedic range , advises customers to test mattresses in person before buying.
Among the key local findings was that people who sleep on poor-quality mattresses that have not been personally tested prior to purchasing were more likely to suffer aches and pains. In other words, it appears that there is a strong need to ensure comfortable sleep in order to manage one’s neck and back pain.
Those aged 25 and below said they were more likely to spend less than $1,499 on a new mattress. The study showed that 86 per cent in this demographic reported that they experienced significant sleep problems and 57 per cent said they suffered from back pain.

Mr George Dyer, Sealy Asia-Pacific’s managing director based in Brisbane, says the brand is focused on “helping the world sleep better”. The board is staffed with QUT sleep science experts such as Emeritus Professor Mark Pearcy, who has more than 40 years of biomechanical research experience, focusing on movement and support from artificial joints and implants; and Dr Geoff Askin, a pioneer in surgical techniques to correct spinal deformity.
