Best praise vs top criticism for Serta Perfect Sleeper
“This exactly. I’ve been in love with my $1100 Serta mattress for 10 years but recently decided it’s time for a new one. Unfortunately their product offerings have changed since then but was assuming I could get something comparable for around the same price so I buy their “Ultra medium pillow top” Perfect Sleeper for $999, thinking it’s the closest…Holy shit, it felt like sleeping on a stack of cardboards. It was hot, stiff, and yet somehow ended up sagging in the middle within a few hours. I couldn’t believe how much worse Serta’s mattresses have gotten in 10 years. It’s so hard to know what you’re getting for your money these days.”
“Oop, didn't even know there was a Brands to Avoid thread. I went back to MattressFirm this morning since I could not get to sleep on the Nectar last night. I'm going with a Serta Perfect Sleeper Sleep excellence medium pillow top. It is an innerspring, but does have a SMALL amount of memory foam, but I didn't notice uncomfortable sinking when I was on it. Just enough to contour to my body, but still sturdy enough because of the coils. It's originally $2500, but I got it for $1000 (not including the nectar return). I think this is one of their higher end ones? So hopefully it doesn't fit into number 8 on the brands to avoid, cheap major brands. I read some good things about it last night in between my tossing and turning so, here's hoping. You've been a tremendous help, I appreciate it!”
