Repositioning

(3.50/5)

The tendency of Gel memory foam to be more responsive, meaning switching positions during the night will be easier. You’ll have less chance of having a “stuck-in-the-mud” feeling.

Comfort, Back Support, Pressure Relief

(3.50/5)

Memory foam has excellent pressure-relieving qualities, an advantage for those with joint pain issues or for those who are primarily side sleepers. Memory foam usually allows the heaviest parts of your body to sink more deeply into the mattress, such as the shoulders and hips.

Cooling & Temperature Control

(3.75/5)

Gel memory foam is a variety of memory foam with a small amount of ‘gel’ mixed into it. It was developed to offer the benefits of memory foam while combatting concerns about overheating when sleeping on memory foam. Although the gel does add a slight cooling effect to memory foam (at least for a limited time), I don’t think that gel memory foam will feel ‘cool’ relative to other mattress materials. In short, if you have an affinity for memory foam and are concerned about sleeping warm, try gel memory foam.

Motion Isolation and Sharing a Bed

(4.25/5)

Memory foam 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 quality makes memory foam mattresses, in general, a good choice for couples.

Edge Support

(3.75/5)

The Foam Support Core provides consistent edge-to-edge support.

Recommendation based on sleeping style

Q1. How would you describe the Serta EZ Tote 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 cradles the hips and shoulders to prevent stress and injury.
    Medium-firm foam mattresses generally deliver more contouring and pressure relief than innerspring or hybrid models, hence ideal for side sleepers. Most people weighing more than 230 pounds finds that a medium-firm foam mattress does not avoid sinking as well as models with coil-based cores.

    • Serta Sheep Retreat™ 10″ Medium -Gel Memory Foam Mattress works well with lightweight side sleepers.
    • Serta Sheer Slumber 8″ Medium Firm -Gel Memory Foam Mattress can be used by average weight group
  • 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 medium-firm mattress is great for back sleepers. Medium-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.

    • Serta Sheer Slumber 8″ Medium Firm Gel Memory Foam Mattress is great for all weight groups below 230 pounds.
    • Serta Sheep Retreat™ 10″ Medium Gel Memory Foam Mattress works well with lightweight back sleepers.
  • Stomach Sleepers-Stomach sleepers are at the greatest 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.
    Both Serta Sheer Slumber 8″ & Serta Sheep Retreat™ 10” can be used as stomach sleepers but only in the lightweight group. Heavy people will exert force, and there will be curvature and cause aches & pains.
  • Combination Sleepers- Sleepers who tend to toss and turn throughout the night change sleeping positions frequently. Depending on their weight, both Serta Sheer Slumber 8″ & Serta Sheep Retreat™ 10” can be used.
