Repositioning

(4.00/5)

The tendency of Gel-infused foam to be more responsive, meaning switching positions during the night will be more accessible. You’ll have less chance of having a “stuck-in-the-mud” feeling. Serta IComfort partners can use the mattress. If one needs the bounce of an innerspring mattress, they need to look for other mattresses from the Serta lineup.

Comfort, Back Support, Pressure Relief

(4.00/5)

The foam in the Serta i-comfort mattress lineup has excellent pressure-relieving qualities, an advantage for those with joint pain issues. The EverCool® Fuze Gel Memory Foam cradles and helps cool sleepers in a generous, pressure-relieving embrace. The Air Support Foam moves with the body and outlines around it. It promotes spinal alignment and delivers additional comfort for all kinds of sleepers.

This luxurious Serta I comfort mattress is quite comfortable to sleep in. In particular, Serta i-Comfort Max Cooling & Pressure Relief Upgrade (CF4000) mattress is excellent.

Cooling & Temperature Control

(4.25/5)

Serta I Comfort mattress gives excellent cooling. Crafted with materials like EverCool® Fuze Gel, Memory foam enhances the cooling of the mattress. The Max Cold™ Cover is the most heat-absorbing layer company ever created for all-night cooling. It adds style to the cool-to-the-touch textile, helping you get your best night’s sleep. Gel Active® Max Foam maintains temperature neutrality. Air Support Foam moves with the body and outlines around it. Great for spinal alignment and delivers additional comfort for all kinds of sleepers.

Motion Isolation and Sharing a Bed

(4.25/5)

A coiled mattress engrosses movements like all foam, so the sleeper on one side of the mattress is less likely to be disturbed by motions on the other. This parameter makes Serta mattresses, in general, a good choice for couples. The foams offer outstanding comfort. Depending on personal preference, any bed from the I comfort lineup can be selected.

Edge Support

(4.00/5)

The Serta icomfort Mattress offers some edge-to-edge support. The Serta® Foam Core provides strong support for any sleep position with consistent support from edge to edge. People don’t have the sensation of rolling off the border; while sleeping, they enjoy a more excellent surface.

Recommendation based on sleeping style

Q1. How would you describe the Serta i-comfort mattress based on individual sleeping style?

  • Side Sleepers: more curves are available on our side. Shoulders. Hips. Knees. These areas create tension and pressure. Ideally, a softer mattress cradle the hips and shoulders to prevent stress and injury.
    • Ideal are CF4000 (Plush Version), CF1000: For side sleepers, seek out mattresses softer on the firmness scale. With the iComfort line, the CF4000’s plush version consists of Air Support Foam, which moves with your body and contours around it to alleviate pressure.
  • Back Sleepers: Sleeping on the back is the best for spine health. Sleepers want a mattress that keeps weight off the joints and pressure points and cradles your spine optimally to maintain healthy alignment.
    • Specifically, a firm mattress is great for back Firm mattresses prevent the hips and lumbar region from sinking deep and are suitable for the back. Healthy spinal alignment is vital for all types of sleepers. Medium-firm ones also work great.
    • Ideal are CF3000, CF4000 (Firm Version): All three of the Serta iComfort models are excellent for back sleepers. For more cushioning, but when selecting the CF4000, we advise you to pick the firm version for ultimate comfort.
  • Stomach Sleepers-Stomach sleepers are at the most significant risk of spinal problems as there is a great deal of pressure on the thoracic and lumbar spine.
    • Ideally- a firm mattress that holds up the hips, reducing pressure on the lower back.
    • Ideal are CF3000, CF4000: There is also the need for extra support on the neck because stomach sleepers keep their heads turned to the side. Like back sleepers, the stomach sleepers need to go with one of the more supportive Serta iComfort models, like the CF3000 or CF4000 firm.
  • Combination Sleepers- Sleepers who tend to toss and turn throughout the night change sleeping positions frequently. Depending on their weight, all Serta Serene Shinola mattresses can be used.
