Our Verdict
Novaform Legacy
Sealy Posturepedic Pro Highland Manor
The Novaform Legacy and Sealy Posturepedic Pro Highland Manor have different strengths. The Novaform's better support performance gives it an edge for lighter and average-weight back and stomach sleepers. It's more suitable for hot sleepers, as it has a cooler feel when you first get into bed, and it's more durable. The Sealy's better pressure relief performance makes it the better option for average-weight side sleepers. It also offers significantly better edge support, which gives couples more comfortable sleeping space.
