Serta Mattress Reviews

Serta is America’s top-selling mattress brand, made famous in part for their talking sheep commercials you’ve probably seen. Serta offers popular well-known brands including Perfect Sleeper, iComfort, and their Hotel Collection.

Serta is part of the larger Serta Simmons Bedding Company, the second-largest mattress manufacturer in the world. And unlike many newer mattress brands, they actually design and manufacture their own mattresses.

Type of Construction

Serta is best known for Perfect Sleeper which has a long reputation as a comfortable and dependable innerspring mattress. Serta Hotel is a good option for those who still desire the traditional double-sided mattress. Serta also established its iComfort memory foam and hybrid mattresses which became overnight successes. Those brands have all since expanded and the foam vs innerspring distinction between them has blurred.

Serta Mattress Collections - An Overview

 

Serta iComfort - is the flagship line of gel memory foam mattresses. Serta iComfort mattresses have a foam core instead of innerspring and are topped with various layers of foam and gel memory foams. The key feature is TempActive Max Gel Memory Foam which is their proprietary material that captures and dissipates heat. The mattresses are available in firm to medium comforts. These are top mattresses that excel in pressure relief and motion isolation.

Read our review of the Serta iComfort Collection.

iComfort Hybrid - uses a Hybrid Coil system as the support underneath varying layers of foams and gel memory foams. And they also have TempActive Gel Memory Foam similar to regular iComfort models. Hybrid construction offers more springy support feeling like a traditional mattress. There’re 11 models offering a broad range of comforts from firm to soft mattresses.

For more details, read our expert review on Serta's iComfort Hybrid collection.

Serta Perfect Sleeper - is their mainstay and comes in 3 levels of increasing features. The innerspring core is made of 520 continuous, or 739 or 886 individually pocketed coils. Mattresses have differing types and amounts of foams, including Cool Twist Gel Foam and Cool Action Gel Memory Foam. These are premium foams to help control your sleep temperature and make the mattresses more comfortable. The spring/foam combinations are tuned to provide great support, reduce your tossing and turning, and lessen sleeping partner disturbances so you get a comfortable night's sleep.

Top 5 Best-Rated Serta Mattresses

Here are the details on five of the best-rated mattresses from Serta. These mattresses received the best pressure-test results for the most sleep positions. This does not mean it's the best mattress for you, just that they are the best on average for all the sleep positions and body types that we tested. Some of the newer models haven't been tested yet, so they may replace one of these once they have been if they exceed these results.

There are many other Serta mattresses that perform very well, but we only included five of our favorites. Make sure to find the mattress that suits you best. As you can see, most of these are in the middle range for comfort level, so if you like something very soft or very firm, you'll need to check out other models.

Delivery Method

Serta mattresses are available in select stores and online retailers, and also directly from Serta.com. They are heavy mattresses usually delivered by an in-home delivery team. Delivery is typically available for free to your front door with the option of in-home setup and removal of an old mattress for a fee.

More about Serta

Serta is one of America’s oldest, largest, and most trusted mattress brands. Serta launched its iconic Perfect Sleeper brand in 1931. Serta today is the largest mattress brand in the United States. It is a part of the Serta Simmons Bedding company, which operates 36 American factories. They also have a broad international presence.

There are hundreds of mattress brands available in stores and online. Most of them are just marketing and reselling beds produced by others. Serta actually is a manufacturer, designing and producing its own mattresses. They leverage their lengthy experience and large size to drive innovation and bring high-quality beds to market.

Serta has sold tens of millions of mattresses while maintaining a high-quality track record and level of sales success. And they have many loyal repeat customers. On the internet, there are review sites that gather and present what they purport to be ratings. However, they have a limited number of reviews. They don't fully reflect the experience of the millions of satisfied owners.

 

Conclusion

Serta is a leading mattress company that you can trust for the most part. They have a huge assortment of styles, features, and prices. Therefore, you need to zero in on what you’re looking for to find a specific mattress for your needs. They offer beds for everybody’s needs, from back sleepers to side sleepers, from foam to innerspring, and from low-priced to luxury. 

Perfect Sleeper models carry different names at different stores so it’s hard to compare prices. The Serta Hotel lines have nice choices if you want to duplicate the sleep you had in a hotel. And they also make flippable double-sided mattresses if you like that.

Serta makes something for everyone, whether you want a bed-in-a-box or a high-end hybrid mattress. They're built to last (other than maybe EZ Tote) and use some very nice quality foams, with many including gel memory foam.

In our pressure testing evaluations, many of the mattresses performed very well. This shows that there's proper support and pressure relief. Knowing this, I can comfortably recommend the brand to you, as long as you find the one suited to your needs.
