The Sealy Posturesense Hendrix is a discontinued spring mattress, and the available records describe separate Firm and Medium versions. The evidence is too limited to recommend it for a particular sleeper: the published reviews offer subjective impressions, while CHOICE’s detailed test results are member-only. If you find one for sale, verify the exact variant, condition, measurements and written terms before paying.
What the available reviews say
CHOICE lists a queen-size, instore-retail spring mattress with claimed firm comfort and marks the Hendrix discontinued. Bedbuyer also marks its Firm and Medium listings discontinued. These records do not establish whether both variants were offered in every market or production year, or whether any are currently available.

Bedbuyer describes the Firm as very firm and “a bit ‘hard’,” potentially suiting people who particularly like a firm feel. It also calls that version basic and a little flimsy. For the Medium, Bedbuyer describes a basic, unremarkable mattress with okay support and some partner disturbance. Those are Bedbuyer’s assessments, not results from hands-on testing for this article, and the Medium page gives no calibrated firmness score.

CHOICE’s Hendrix product record does not identify a Firm or Medium variant. It reports 201 springs per square metre, eight layers, a weight of 34 kg, and dimensions of 203 × 152 × 24 cm (length × width × height), including a thickness of 24 cm. The difference between CHOICE’s 24 cm thickness and Bedbuyer’s 320 mm Firm and 290 mm Medium heights is unexplained; the records do not establish whether it reflects a variant, production year or data-record difference. Measure the particular mattress rather than relying on one figure.

What CHOICE testing can—and cannot—tell you
CHOICE lists an Expert Rating and test categories covering support, stability, sagging resistance, breathability and warmth, but the rating and detailed results require membership. The available product record does not provide scores or outcomes, so those categories alone cannot show how the Hendrix performed.
What to check if you find one for sale
Because the model is discontinued in the cited listings, the records do not establish current new or second-hand stock, a current price, trial or return rights, or warranty transferability. Before paying, confirm the details of the individual item and transaction in writing:
