Mattress Options

Serta mattresses come in a wide variety of price ranges, so most shoppers will be able to find a good mattress that fits their needs and their budget. Sleeping on a comfortable mattress is not a one-size-fits-all science, but Serta understands this and offers a wide variety of options to choose from. 

Perfect Sleeper Mattress: $349–$1,399 (Queen)

The Serta Perfect Sleeper is the official mattress of the National Sleep Foundation. It is available in innerspring, memory foam, and hybrid options. The line has been around for decades, but Serta recently partnered with the Foundation to target the 5 biggest mattress complaints: tossing and turning, lack of support, sleeping temperature regulation, partner disturbance, and mattress roll-off due to poor edge support and sagging. Some Perfect Sleeper models even work with an adjustable foundation. 

iComfort Mattress: $1,099–$2,799 (Queen)

The Serta iComfort line is the company's most advanced sleep system and it offers models in foam and hybrid. It aims to use contouring memory foam to help with pressure relief. This isn't just an ordinary memory foam mattress. The foam used is called TempActiv and helps with heat retention to help you sleep cool. There are seven models of varying comfort layer firmness to choose from. 

Mattress-in-a-Box: $599–$999 (Queen)

Like most mattress brands and retailers, Serta also sells a mattress in a box, however, its name varies depending on where you purchase it but may be called Perfect Sleeper Express or Serta SleepToGo. This memory foam mattress line offers depths between 9 and 14 inches to choose from. 

Sertapedic: $249–$649 (Queen)

The Sertapedic mattress line is the company's budget option, with prices for a queen ranging between $249 and 649. Despite the low price range, this is really a "value" option with a variety of mattress features to choose from. You can choose between memory foam and innerspring mattress types. The memory foam features several layers of support foam, including a gel-infused memory foam, called Twist Gel, and the innerspring is a traditional mattress with steel coils. As well, you can find a good night's sleep with your preferred custom support feel, as comfort options range between soft and extra firm. 

Hotel Mattresses: $775–$1,100 (Queen)

Serta is the top supplier of hotel mattresses in the country, and now, you can purchase this same luxury to sleep on at home. This is an innerspring line with plush Euro pillow top mattress options, as well as a double-sided mattress. 

In all, Serta sells more than 50 queen size models ranging in price from $249–$2,799. 

You can buy one directly from Serta, or through various third-party retailers. Serta also sells accessories, like pillows, bedding, sheets, and mattress protectors. They also make crib and toddler mattresses, as well as pet beds. 

Warranty

Most Serta mattresses are covered by a 10-year warranty. However, remember that you need to take good care of your mattress and it needs to be free of stains, etc. Serta encourages shoppers to get a mattress protector.

Direct-Purchase Benefits

With Serta, you can purchase directly from the website, or you can find Serta products at hundreds of other retailers. When you buy from Serta, you benefit from financing offers, an in-home trial, and a great delivery policy. 

Special Financing

Serta offers financing through Affirm. Affirm allows you to make monthly payments over 3, 6, or 12 months. Interest charges are communicated upfront and there are no hidden fees. Keep in mind that rates are between 0 and 30 percent APR, and a down payment may be required. 

In-Home Trial

When you purchase directly through Serta, either by phone or online, you benefit from an in-home trial period. The Serta iComfort comes with a 120-day in-home trial and other mattresses come with a 45-day comfort assurance in-home trial. 

There are a few things that you should know about the program. You must sleep on the mattress for at least 30 nights before contacting Serta about a return or exchange. 

This 30-day rule is pretty standard with most mattress retailers. This is considered to be a break-in period for your body to adjust to a new mattress and your new mattress to adjust to your body. Sleeping on a new mattress can be quite a change, especially if you had previously waited too long and were sleeping on an old lumpy mattress. 

There is a 15 percent return and disposal fee, plus $200 for shipping and handling, to be deducted from your refund. Please note that adjustable foundation sales are final, and there is a limit of one trial per customer

Delivery

Free white glove delivery and setup are offered for all purchases when you order online directly from Serta. However, it can take about 10–21 business days because your mattress is made especially for you when they receive your order.

The Bad

  • Cancellation and Return Fees

Cancellation and Return Fees

Serta allows you 48 hours to cancel your mattress order. If you cancel after the 48 hours, you may be charged a 15 percent cancellation fee. 

Additionally, Serta accessories (bed frames, sheets, pillows, mattress protectors and pet beds) do not have a cancellation grace period. All orders are processed immediately. You can return an item, but you are responsible for the cost of shipping and the 15 percent restocking fee.

gavel

The Bottom Line

Serta is one of the biggest classic brands in the mattress world. They have been around for more than 80 years and offer a variety of mattress features for almost any price point. 

There are a variety of ways that you can buy a Serta, from local retail stores to online marketplaces like Amazon and Wayfair, to a direct purchase from the company via the serta.com website. If you purchase from Serta, you will benefit from an in-home trial, an industry-standard financing option, and free in-home delivery. If you purchase your Serta from a third-party store or website, you will be subject to that company’s policies when it comes to a trial, financing, or delivery.

Unhappy Customer

This is going to seem like a weird review but I have to say that Serta makes some excellent mattresses. I purchased my mattress nearly 15 years ago and believe it or not, I am still using it and it's still really comfortable. The springs are good and none poke out from the mattress. The mattress is almost as firm as it was when I purchased it (although I wish I had bought a harder mattress at the time). The quality of the mattress is really good. The only issue I have is that if I spilled something on the mattress, like coffee or soda, it's not that easy to clean it off and the mattress gets stained quickly. For most people, this isn't an issue and its definitely not an issue that's specific to Serta mattresses, but it's something that annoys me because I prefer to sleep without bedsheets. Yes, it's weird... I know! All that aside, my next mattress will definitely be a Serta because they're affordable and meet my sleep needs.

My husband and I vacationed on Sanibel Island about 7years ago. That night when we layed down after an exhausting 15hour drive there and ck in, we were ready to eat something and just take a long nap. The minute we both layed down , and after a few minutes, we both said at the same time”Love this mattress, wonder what kind it is” well my husband got up and pulled all the sheets, blankets, bedspread back only to see beautiful words named SERTA PLUSH listed on the mattress ticket. Those 8 nights sleeping on that mattress brought us to Ashley Furniture store upon our return home t to purchase the identical mattress in a King size instead of the queen we had had on vacation. We both had the best sleep of our lives on that trip, and I knew we were in the need of a new mattress, and sleeping on that serta just brought it happening upon returning home. We continue today to still use that serta and continue to get the best night sleep,ever.

With Serta 3-layer foam system you can count on for a night of undisturbed sleep but they should try and make the products for kids also so they don't have to sleep with their parents for privacy

When someone thinks sales most like me cringe. Oddly in the Serta business I have never once run into a rude sales person. Maybe a shady retailer or two but never one directly representing Serta. What is it that make them different then others...

Serta mattresses have been around for along time but they are keeping up with the new trends of springless mattresses with super comfy tops. Gone are the pillow tops and now they have built in memory foam toss that lusciously caress your entire body when you sleep. It’s definitely not your grandmother’s mattress. The new modern Serta mattresses will be so comfortable that you never want to get out of bed in the morning, but you will be well rested from a full night of food sleep. I just slept on one and I’m so happy with our choice to own a Serta mattress. I love the support snd comfort and I don’t get sweaty all night when I sleep on it.

I slept on a Serta mattress for over 30 years. I think this is the comfortable mattress I have ever slept on . We traded out the mattress for another because my wife thought it was getting too old. really like the mattress and box springs combination offered by Serta. It is such a soft mattress and the overall thickness is less than other mattresses which makes it that much easier to climb into bed. One of the things I really loved about the mattress it how it seemed to retard heat but would capture the coolness of the room no matter what type of sheets or mattress cover was on the bed. Since I love sleeping in a slightly cooler bed this was such a joy to sleep in. There are a lot of mattress makers out there but for me this is my favorite.

The biggest drawback is that they do not have customizable sizes, and only offer spring base options. We had a bedframe and Serta mattresses available were either a size too small or too big, there was no in between. The representatives at a couple of Serta stores we visited, weren't able to help us either. A little disappointed.

I have bought Serta mattress twice so far and a great company to be worked with-it, first time I had to return a mattress within the 120-days trial period to Norco center . Customer service was excellent. I got a response as soon as I e-mailed requesting a return. Customer service arranged for the mattress to be picked up at my convenience. The persons who picked up the mattress were courteous and efficient. Highly recommended for your sleep needs.

Being a very prestigious company, we have Serta mattresses at home. Mine is one of those that is topped with extra padding, which has been very comfortable until my husband was operated and now we prefer to have a more firm mattresses for his recovery. Fortunately my daughter have a firm one and we exchanged temporarily until she moves from our house. Or maybe we will buy this one from her!

I love love love my new Serta mattress. I think I have "laid back" on every mattress within a 15 mile radius. I'm very particular and was searching for the perfect mattress. I wanted a mattress that would not sink in with me but not real firm either. Plus, one that guaranteed no sunk in placed later on, like the one I had. I plan to buy this same mattress for every bed in home. I highly recommend Serta!

I have 2 Serta’s and have no complaints they are very comfortable to sleep on. I laid on them quite a bit prior to buying from Big Sandy Superstore. They only issue I have is you cannot turn it over to balance it out cause it’s hard bottom on the other side it’s just 1 mattress you can turn it around for balance but not flip over. But we love Serta they are very comfortable would recommend.

Serta was the 1st place choice when we were shopping for a bed. They had comfortable beds, but at the time the bed we wanted was on back order so we went with a different one since we needed a bed asap due to our mattress dying. Unfortunately due to the time constraint on needing a new bed we did not go forward with Serta and got our second choice.

Jeff Dallas, TX

My wife and I actually ordered our mattress built directly from "Serta Direct Sales". That process was excellent. We knew our mattress had not been sitting in warehouses for months on end, the price was excellent and they delivered it to us. We had stayed at a high end hotel and LOVED the mattress so we looked to see what it was and took a picture of the tag. The one we received was the same as the hotel. It is a double pillow top so you can flip it. It has tags sewn into it showing you what month you need to spin it head to toe and what months to flip it over to even the wear. However, even following the instructions a ridge formed after only a couple of months of use. The pillow top padding formed a ridge between my wife and I. Not a small one either, lol! We roll around on it trying to flatten it out but gave up. That area feels awesome because it is still how it was new. It is still a very comfortable mattress and the rest of the quality has been excellent. We have had it for 1 year 8 months now. I would buy it again.

My first "grown up" mattress purchase was for a Serta Perfect Sleeper. It had a 15-year warranty, and I kept it for twenty years. It was the best sleep I ever had. Very recently, I replaced a mattress with a Serta, and it's just not the same. It has 825 springs, yet it is way too saggy for my taste. I prefer a firm mattress that I can enhance with layers on top. But this most recent purchase in December leaves me wishing I had kept my old mattress. I cannot return the new one because I paid to have the old one hauled off when they delivered this one. I'm not giving up on Serta, but I will never again buy a mattress online, unless I have tried it on in a show room.

I have been a fan of Serta mattresses for decades. In fact, my first Serta mattress lasted over 20 years and in that time endured several moves, all over the country. No issues were ever noted. In those days a good mattress had a 20 year warranty! Wow. Was it ever worth it. Super quality, price AND performance. I finally replaced it after 22 years. Since then I have bought Sertas repeatedly and have never been disappointed.

I had a Serta for at least 12 years before having to replace it. I began belly sleeping, and my lordosis put an uneven amount of weight on the middle of the bed. It began to sink in that spot, but only after an extensive amount of time. Would recommend if you like waking up refreshed!

Of course I love that Serta is a well-known and dependable brand. My Serta mattress was a queen-size pillow top and it was very comfortable at first but after a couple months I decided it was actually too soft for me. That was probably my own poor choice at the time. The Serta mattress was very sturdy and I had it for a couple years before giving it to my son. He still has it! You can definitely trust the Serta name!

The mattresses in my kids’ rooms are made by Serta. I have often dozed off during bedtime stories and woken up the next day so I must say they are very comfortable. They are durable too because my kids have used them to build forts and even as trampolines on the floor when they were younger so they are made of quality materials.

Our Serta seemed to last quite a while and stay quite comfortable. My husband weighs 240 pounds so after a few years we did notice that his side tended to have a dip in it. Not horrible, but definitely noticeable. It's frustrating, but actually expected. I would love to find a mattress that doesn't do that. We were happy with it for while it lasted but now would like to replace it and haven't just because we can't afford a new one. So for now, we will due with our old Serta.
