Serta - Perfect Sleeper Sleep Excellence

I recently bought a mattress, I was looking at this subreddit and I had the same confusion. I think mattress subject is just too personal to generalize. For me, I bought something that no one seemed to recommend but I like it because I wanted a really firm basic mattress without paying too much. I bought "Serta Perfect Sleeper Sleep Excellence", extra firm, queen size. The website shows an absurd number for price (2.5k) but if you go to a mattress firm store, it's actually $850 or somewhere around that. It's cheap enough, seems decent quality, and it's as firm as I want (it was the most firm mattress I could try around my area). In my opinion, you just need to try it in person and look at reviews for customer support and general issues with the specific brands. The mattress I like would probably be considered trash by a lot of people, but I love it so far.

Sleep Country has a 90 day trial. I have a Bloom mattress, I really like it, it is probably medium firm though. My husband has a Serta, it’s quite firm. (Yes, we have 2 different mattresses. We each have a twin XL on a king frame, I HIGHLY recommend it for couples who can’t agree on a mattress!!)

Serta Perfect Sleeper - Extra Firm. Had a 3” memory foam topper on the first 8 months or so until it was broken in and now it’s perfect.

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.

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.

Its a hand me down so I couldn't tell you its cost/price when it was purchased. Those tags are the only things I have to go off of. The Serta Perfect Sleeper and Sleepy Basic Hybrid are just the names of the mattresses respectively. Even after reading through this post and reading through all the comments (which I do highly appreciate), I still dont really have a concrete answer as to why the old one doesnt run as hot and is slightly more comfortable outside of a super basic answer like: "I guess one is just more expensive than the other, idk". Which is understandable and makes sense, but ultimately I was hoping for an answer thats a bit more nuanced/unique and helps me understand mattresses more.

You're on the right track with zoned coils. Helix midnight luxe, winkbed luxury firm, avocado plush (that might be too soft), and Serta perfect sleeper all use zoned coils. I'd try them out in person if you can. If you can't i think most of them (the helix for sure) has a 120 night sleep trial.

Yep. One reviewer says a bed is the hardest thing ever. Next reviewer sent it back due to being too soft. On and on it goes. Most reviews seem to be on bed in a bag type stuff. Since Covid, quality has died basically, except for Weber grills. I had a Serta Perfect Sleeper that was great for 7 years then started needing replaced. I doubt I'll find another like it that will last 5 years. Everyone is pushing bed in a bag. I settled on Saatva and ordered their luxury firm...but then got note it's going to be another 3 weeks yet. Forget it. I canceled and told them I'll go to Macy's. I am looking now at the Stearns and Foster Luxe Estate tight top. I am 229 so need something to hold up better for heavier people. My Serta did and I took old advisement from a mattress forum to get a firm bed and a 3" talaly topper. This time, I am going to get a medium bed and the 3" talalay latex topper....in medium. Just change out the topper when needed after a few years. The S&F Luxe Estate is supposed to hold up well for heavier folks. Better than the Saatva from what I can see. If not the S&F mattress...then the Beautyrest Black. I'll try them both out tomorrow.
