Generally, yes. Costco will save you money but will always offer lower quality in terms of manufacturing and longevity. A mattress is one of the most important purchases you can make for the improvement of your every day life - if you can afford it, don’t cheap out on it. The difference in support you get between 800 vs 1200 coils is substantial. There are usually other differences in both warranty, return policies and distributing that can account for the price difference, but coil would be the main factor and for good reason. Go with Sleep Country for this one, their Sertas are specifically made for the company and has exclusivities no other retailer will have.
Any brands you recommend for/against? I had a Serta perfectsleeper plush pillow top for seven years and now it’s starting to sag, Sam’s Club is allowing me to change it, I was thinking of about getting the beauty rest regal sleep, plush pillow. I am a side sleeper and need a softer mattress
Big Lots was selling somewhat firm Serta Euro twin mattresses for about $80 a couple or so years ago, which was an absolutely awesome deal and a quite high quality mattress. Now, the crazy part is that my fam bought them at Big Lots in Los Angeles and the Bay Area, and I just looked to find out apparently there are now only Big Lots stores in the eastern U.S. It's a real shame, but if you're in a region that still has those stores it's worth a look.
In short. Your old one is a better quality mattress than your new one. More coils for support, better for quality for there foam. Serta Perfect Sleeper is a better quality mattress at 10 years old vs a brand new Sleepys basic.
For comparison you didn’t just get a Perfect Sleeper, you got a higher end perfect Sleeper that retails for $1300 vs a $500 no brand. Perfect sleeper you had, has over 1700 coils/innersprings. The Sleepy’s Hybrid has 440 coils/inner slings so it has a 1/4 of the support as your previous. So that’s what you’re feeling in terms of quantity. Also I’ll send the foam specs for both too, and it all comes down to quality https://preview.redd.it/e5bf4mhvelpf1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3774b2a28c255cde9a0d2eac94a77b06040abbc3
But Serta is still higher quality than the Sleepys Basic Hybrid. Especially depending on which level of Serta, perfect sleep collection vs iSeries. Serta makes good products, not top of the line by any means, but I wouldn’t consider them low end. Just about every major brand has a ‘low’ end section to be competitive in price, but that’s just part of the overall picture.
If it’s not in your budget to buy a more expensive mattress with better cooling technology, consider a topper with cooling benefits. Coil for coil you probably had more in the Serta, which is why it may feel more supportive, as the Sleepys basic hybrid is a more basic coil structure/count.
I have the exact same issue and I’m only a few years older. My problems started right around your age and it’s been an absolute nightmare. The issue can be due to several things and you should take pictures of your back to really see what’s going on with your spine. Most mattresses cause me to sink unevenly with my hips sinking much more than my shoulders. This causes the spinal sagging and leads to lower back and some mid back pain. The only mattresses that I’ve slept well on are the Serta (perfect sleeper specifically) ones with zoned support. My parents have one and I could not for the life of me figure out what it was until recently. I’m not advocating for that brand, it’s the last one I wanted since I’ve had other mattresses from them without the zones and slept horribly. However, I’ve slept on 3 different ones while traveling for work and slept better in the hotel beds than my own. They all happened to be the same mattress which is no surprise given I stayed at the same chain, but it reaffirmed what I believed. A lumbar pillow has helped but it’s nowhere near as good as having the full support. I don’t imagine a soft mattress will fix this if you’re sinking unevenly. Depending on the construction, the weight at your pressure points will cause the mattress get pulled downward further out so you won’t get support at your mid section, you’ll just sink more. Hopefully you’re able to find something that works or at least have more insight on what to research
We recently got a Serta Perfect Sleeper and I absolutely love it.
I myself use Serta Classic Latex. My parents use Serta Perfect Sleeper. My mother has L4-L5 disc compression issue. My father too suffers from back pain at times. They couldn't be happier about the mattress comfort. To be fair, I have near 99% positive feedback on Serta Mattress irrespective of the model. You just have to specify your comfort and firmness type and ofcourse budget. My personal favourite is Classic Latex, Ipedic, Perfect spine and ofcourse Perfect Sleeper.. These are our best sellers and have 100% positve reviews on it.
I would recommend the Serta Perfect Sleeper from Bed Bath and Beyond. It’s firm but also has a pillow top if you want. I think we paid like $800 for a King size so a full should be less than that. We slept on this mattress at an Air BnB we stayed at. I liked it so much that I took the sheets off to find out what kind of mattress it was.
