About Sealy

Our History

A Rich Heritage Since 1881

For over a century, Sealy has been dedicated to creating luxurious sleep experiences.

In 1881, the first Sealy mattresses were made in a small town in Texas called Sealy.

In 1950, Sealy teamed up with several of the world’s top orthopaedic surgeons to launch the first Sealy Posturepedic brand mattress, the only mattress in the industry designed to prioritise correct back support.

Australian Mattresses from Self-Owned Factories

Sealy of Australia, previously Madad Pty Ltd., began trading in Brisbane in 1923. The company originally built furniture and bedding components. In the late 1960s, it began manufacturing the Sealy brand under license from Sealy Inc. in the USA.

With five manufacturing plants and over 750 employees around Australia, Sealy has achieved the highest reputation for professionalism and quality. For many years, the company’s flagship brand, Sealy Posturepedic, has been the highest selling premium bedding brand in Australia.

Quality Assurance Across the World

Sealy of Australia, in partnership with Sealy Inc., expanded into Asia Pacific in 2000, opening offices in Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, Korea and Malaysia with the aim of developing high-end mattresses that meet local demand and sleep preferences.

Now, Sealy owns a strong and extensive business portfolio, with offices in the Americas, Africa and Asia, as well as specialty stores, counters and agents all over the globe.

R&D

Innovative Breakthroughs

Over the years, Sealy has maintained a highly professional approach to creating industry-leading mattresses. Backed by decades of research and development, each Sealy mattress is created with several patented technologies that ensure unparalleled comfort. No aspect of quality is left to chance.

Every component is subjected to simulated time/wear and fatigue testing. The performance and quality of each component, from the cotton in the quilt on top of the bed to the castors on the base, is a known and proven factor.

What’s more, Sealy continuously strives for breakthroughs, with new technology being launched every year. These innovations, ranging from patented coils, comfort layers and edge support to new material combinations, are all designed to improve mattress performance. With a better understanding of what users need, Sealy aims to design and provide healthier sleep for everyone.

Orthopaedic Advisory Board

Orthopaedic Advisory Board

In 2006, Sealy US formed the Orthopaedic Advisory Board, to continue to building on Sealy’s rich orthopaedic heritage. It focuses on developments and innovations that contribute to consumers’ orthopaedic health and provide more restful and recuperative sleep.

The Orthopaedic Advisory Board collaborates with Sealy’s leaders in research and technology innovation to help Sealy:

  • Develop advancements that offer orthopaedically correct support and contribute to overall orthopaedic health.
  • Understand the nature of sleep and sleep problems, and design products that meet consumers’ evolving needs.
  • Direct and oversee academic sleep studies and research.

Consisting of eminent orthopaedic surgeons, researchers and clinicians, the Board leads Sealy’s medical research and development efforts.

Orthopaedically Correct Design

The Orthopaedic Advisory Board developed the concept and defined the measures and criteria for orthopaedically correct design. Here’s how it works:

  • The more supportive the mattress is, the more pressure points are created.
  • The more pressure relief the mattress offers, the less support you get.
  • To eliminate tossing and turning caused by uncomfortable pressure points, you need the perfect balance of proper back support and targeted pressure relief.

      Environmental Sustainability

      Sustainable Green Practices

      • Sealy Posturepedic mattresses are made of 90% environmentally friendly material
      • Sealy uses plantation lumber to build mattress foundations
      • Sealy minimises its carbon footprint throughout the production process

      /採用環保物料,是把舊物料回收再用於床褥嗎?/

      Sealy 作為床褥生產商,肩負保護環境的責任,積極採用環保物料來生產床褥,以大大減低將來床褥被棄置時對環境的不良影響。用環保物料是否相等於把舊物料回收再用於製造床褥?
      當然不是! 每張Sealy床褥都以全新物料製成。

      環保物料 多重意義

      雖然我們沒有用舊物料回收來製造床褥,但我們確實是採用環保物料! 「環保」意義在於從原料採集、產品製造及源頭減廢幾方面奉行「優質環保、綠色永續」的大方向。例如我們會挑選來自FSC(森林管理委員會) 或PEFC(森林認證認可計劃) 認可的可持續種植園木材來製造床褥底座,大部份用料均為可回收物料,又會在生產床褥的過程當中善用未被使用過的全新物料。

      剩物≠舊物 投資逾500萬澳元 全新剩布變DuraPad

      就以Sealy床褥用來分隔專利彈簧及舒適墊層的DuraPad彈簧保護層作為例子吧! 唔好睇佢「黑媽媽」其貌不揚,其實它對實踐環保的意義也很重大呢! 為達致源頭減廢,同時確保原材料100%安全衛生,我們放棄在外採購DuraPad彈簧保護層,決定投放逾500萬澳元自設生產DuraPad的Airlay機器,再與澳洲布廠合作,收集他們在生產過程中全新、未曾使用過的剩餘紡織品及布料,經挑選後,以165度以上高溫消毒殺菌、黏合再切割成不同大小、既能保護專利彈簧的DuraPad彈簧保護層,又不會影響彈簧承托力。

      Sealy行多一步,就能為地球剩物重新賦予價值,製作出不影響床褥衛生度的高質環保材料。我們的心思、努力及投資跟剩布一樣沒有浪費啊!
