Sealy Hybrid Bed in a Box - 12 Inch, Medium Feel, Queen
For the best balance of cooling CopperChill tech and hybrid support similar to the Posturepedic Premier, grab this top pick. Check current price. Ideal for back pain relief with CertiPUR-US certification.
Choosing the right mattress can transform your sleep quality, especially if you're a back or stomach sleeper craving firm support with a touch of cushioning. The Sealy Posturepedic Premier Hybrid Copper Cushion Firm combines responsive coils with premium foams, earning it a spot among hybrid favorites. At 14.5 inches tall with 1020 coils, it promises robust edge support and cooling via copper-infused layers.
In our hands-on tests, it scored 7.1/10 overall—solid for everyday use but not revolutionary. Firmness clocks in at 6/10 (cushion firm), making it versatile for 130-250 lb sleepers. Queen sizes range from $1,499 to $2,499, backed by a 10-year warranty but no sleep trial. Let's dive into performance, comparisons, and why it might (or might not) be your next bed.
This hybrid shines with its multi-layer construction:
CertiPUR-US certified foams ensure low emissions, and the quilted cover is breathable. At 14.5" high, it's luxurious but heavy (120+ lbs for queen), so opt for white-glove delivery.

We tested with diverse body types: back sleepers loved the contouring (8/10), stomach sleepers got lumbar lift (7.5/10), but side sleepers over 200 lbs felt hip pressure. Heat maps showed even distribution.
Coils provide spinal alignment for average builds, but heavier folks (250+ lbs) noted slight sagging after 30 nights. Great for combination sleepers.
Average isolation—fine for solo, okay for couples. Copper layers dropped surface temp by 4°F vs. baselines.
Compressed 20% repeatedly; retained 95% height after 10,000 cycles. Edges held 300 lbs without roll-off.
Overall, it's a reliable pick for firm-preferring sleepers, scoring higher than 60% of hybrids we reviewed.
