Hubby can move around without disturbing my sleep. The cooling gel helps keep me comfortable through out the night! The foam provides support without being too firm. This is our first foam mattress, so there was a little getting used to it, but now we love it!
I just got this mattress and have been sleeping on it for about 3 weeks now. Prior to getting this mattress I have only ever slept on spring mattresses. I always thought that a memory foam mattress would not be supportive enough for me because I like a firm mattress and don't like getting too hot while I sleep. I was surprised to find that neither of these were an issue with this mattress at all.
The first thing I noticed about it is how nice it looks. The box spring is covered with a nice blue fabric and the mattress itself is also covered with an attractive looking fabric. It looks nice regardless of whether you have any sheets on it or not. The first time I slept on the mattress I felt like I was sleeping on a cloud. The mattress conforms to your body and wraps you up in comfort. The mattress itself is firm, but it breaks in all the right places, while still providing support. After 2 weeks of sleeping on it, much of my back pain went away.
This mattress also has some temperature regulating technology in it. Usually memory foam gets really warm and I would normally wake up sweating. That is not a problem with this mattress. The mattress feels cool to the touch and remains that way throughout the night. The coolness is actually noticeable when your body comes in contact with the mattress.
Overall, transitioning from a traditional spring mattress to this memory foam mattress has changed my mind about mattresses. I fall asleep quickly, wake up feeling rested, and my back has been thanking me every single day. This is a fantastic mattress and I would recommend it to anyone hands down.
Comfortable Bed, firm but gives enough to not wake up in pain.
If you want a bed that will put you to sleep right when your head hits the pillow, this is it. The first night we slept on this bed, I woke up the next morning to realize how awful our previous mattress was. We have been sleeping on it now for over a month and it is still one of the best things we have ever bought!!
Went from a spring mattress to the Blue Max 1000 and its working out well so far.
We had our new Serta delivered yesterday. The last 6 months with our old mattress had turned sleeping into a nightmare. I slept like a rock. The cooling feature of this mattress made life even better and it was 97 degrees where we live last night.
I knew before purchasing this product that I wanted a foam mattress. I like that the firmness of the mattress is a good fit for a couple that has different preferences in choice of firmness. This mattress is not too hard nor to soft and a good compromise.
Our mattress was ancient and causing low back pain, so we decided it was time for a new mattress investment. i was hesitant to purchase a foam mattress, but after lying on this one in the store, I was hopeful it would work out. We have now had the mattress for seven days, and I have not had any back pain! Also, the cooling gel layer is working thus far; we aren't sleeping hot. I definitely recommend this mattress!
We have had ours for only a short period of time but have already notice we are sleeping better. Great mattress!
I really like this mattress. Never owned foam mattress. Relieved my pressure points gave me a better sleep.
This was our first foam mattress purchase and could not believe the support yet comfort it gave both my wife and I. I would not change a thing. We had it for a few days and already notice a difference when we awake in the morning feeling refreshed with a great nights sleep.
Like the firmness. Last mattress developed body molds that was hard to roll out of.
I love how this bed conformes to my body, and also I don't disturb my wife when moving on and off the bed. I sleep all through the night. This is my first foam bed and I am extremely happy and comfortable I made this purchase.
These mattresses required little breaking down of the gel foam in order to feel comfortable. There was essentially no odor from the foam after removal from the plastic bags. The Serta Motion Adjustable Foundation bases by Ergomotion work great. We really are enjoying a good night's rest with these new mattresses.
Just received delivery of our serta Mattress. Still in the “break in period” and getting use to the bed and serta adjustable base. So far so good.
We recently purchased an icomfort bed. I had back surgery about 2 months prior and was having difficulty sleeping on our old pillow top matress. We looked at this bed for the firmness yet still comfortable and also for the cooling feature. I have been incredibly pleased with the bed and I am not waking up without the pain I was having in my back, hips, and leg anymore. This has been a great purchase.
So far just received the mattress and seem to be what we was looking for Firm and comfortable . Will know more in a couple of weeks The delivery guys was great, caring and clean:
It's the perfect amount of cushion and firmness. It is also quite cool which is great for warm sleepers
I went from an Inner Spring mattress that had been sagging and causing lots of back pain to a Memory Foam bed. What a difference. Just the right amount of give, while not being too firm. I'm a stomach/side sleeper and I love this mattress. I had previously got one that was a bit too firm and was not comfortable. I spent lots of time in the showroom, go in and get comfy on the bed. Lay on it for a while, and get into the position you sleep in. I'm glad I did that. I actually dozed off in the store and knew this was the mattress for me.
It took my husband and I a week to agree on what mattress we both liked. I personally wanted the Blue Max plush 3000. My husband does not like plush. He likes firm beds. While reading reviews online we noticed the Blue Max cushion firm. We went to a local dealer to try it out and I was very surprised, that we both loved it. It's perfect for us. Firm, yet plush.
It has a quality feel and seems well made. Just received it today, so hopefully it will continue to impress
It's honestly the best bed I've ever slept in. I didn't get one of my own but was sleeping on a relatives and I didn't want to leave! There truely was nothing I disliked and I slept in it for a month!
We needed a firm mattress that worked for both my husband and I and this one did the trick. We had an icomfort before that lasted 12 years so we do know the brand well. It was time to get a new one and this one with the adjustable base is amazing. No more back pain.
Best sleep I have had in years. Comfortable and everything I expect from a top end matress.
This mattress is a perfect blend for my husband and I with the cooling mattress and memory foam that provides great back support!
This is an excellent mattress!! The first night I slept soundly all night long without tossing and turning. The mattress feels quite firm at first, but as you lay on it you can feel it cushioning your body, yet still holding it firm. I love this mattress and hope to enjoy it for many years to come.
Mattress is super comfortable and made with high quality foam and cooling materials. No other mattress can compare at this price.
This mattress is so comfortable ! Love how it conforms to my body. When one of us rolls over or gets out of bed, there is minimal movement to disturb the other one. It has a cooling feature, but I don't really notice it - I think because of the mattress protector and fitted sheet. However at the store I could really feel it. I bought this for the cooling feature, but I just love how the mattress feels, I don't mind that I can't feel it.
After sleeping on the mattress for a month, although it sounds a bit cliche, I can honestly say I wake up more energized. I was initially hesitant about the foam because I'm a very hot sleeper, however the mattress is cooler than expected and this hasn't been an issue. My fiance also think's his neck pain might be decreasing as well.
This is the best mattress I've ever owned.
The first thing I noticed about this bed was even though it initially felt soft, soon as you lay on it, your back and/or sides get the support they need. I slept the whole night which I haven't done in so long. I didn't have any of my usual aches and pains. The mattress didn't get all hot and sweaty like other mattresses do. This is the most comfortable bed I have slept in. Keep up the great work Serta
On the first day that I got the mattress I felt it a little bit too hard, but it just needed to lay down for a while. Oh my, the first night I slept in it I was like in a cloud. The mattress hug's my body . I've been having the best sleep ever ! My husband and kids also love it ! I would highly recommend this mattress 100%
This is hands down the most comfortable mattress I've ever owned. Paired with an adjustable base it truly delivers the best night's sleep. I was a little hesitant about trying a memory foam mattress seeing that all I've ever owned we're traditional innerspring mattresses. Once you try a memory foam mattress you'll never want to sleep on an innerspring again. The memory foam gives my spine the best support and prevents neck and back pain. The material in this mattress also helps regulate body temperature. I'm never to cool or to warm while sleeping always at the perfect temp. Very comfortable bed. Would definitely recommend to anyone.
I have only had a pillow top and spring mattress prior to this and I will never go back. The first night my wife and I immediately felt the difference. My wife doesn't like to make a big deal out of things but I asked her how she like it and she even said how much she liked it. I would recommend this to everyone.
After assembling my Serta motion II bed and my headboard, my back was totally wrecked. I layed in bed watching Monday Night Football. By the time it was over my back started feeling better than when I started. That's awesome!! Thanks
We love this mattress. Sleep like a baby! It is cool, comfortable and just the right firmness. Highly recommend.
This is te best mattress I have ever purchased. Tried this and the sleep number and this one was the best for me.
Love it so far. Nice and firm. The adjustable foundation is awesome.
This is firm enough to sleep in any position but asa side sleeper supports my hips and shoulders without pressure spots. This foam mattress is not hot like many of the memory foam mattresses.
We absolutely love our new mattress. My husband can get up at night and I am not aware of it. We both are sleeping so much better. Our dog seems to be sleeping better also!
Great mattress that keeps you cool while you sleep and doesn't sink like Tradition foam mattress es
I love our new mattress. I am an old time spring mattress person and was always al little worried about memory foam mattress. I was presently surprised at how comfortable the mattress is. I am glad I bought it. I love the cooling technology built into the bed
I am sleeping like I did before we had kids! With our old spring mattress, I was tossing and turning all night and feeling fatigued all day and now I actually wake up refreshed! My body isn't hurting in the morning anymore!
I have never slept better! This bed is the best purchase I have ever made.
This bed is the Best! Like the title says words can not describe find a store and try one out. Sweet Dreams
I bought my serta icomfort 1000 a week ago now on clearance. I was a little worried since there is a no return policy on clearance mattresses. I was previously using an alternating pressure mattress hospital bed for the last 7 years for a degenerative disc disease, diabetic neuropathy, fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis. The hospital bed was noisy and broke down all the time and was expensive to replace. I wasn't sure how my body would handle a "real" bed again. I thought those days were over. The first night was rough. I just knew I'd made a huge mistake and was stuck with it. The second night and every night since changed everything! I have never slept on a bed that made my body feel this good. Never. I've been singing it's praises to everyone who would listen ever since. The support is perfect. I was worried it would be too hot and too hard. It is neither. The cooling system makes a huge difference. And the support feels like my body is being cradled. I just can't explain enough how wonderful this bed is. I got the Olympic pillow and mattress topper with it. The pillow is just as wonderful as the mattress. I would recommend this mattress to anyone with or without a bad back. I've been practically living in mine since I got it!
We were really looking forward to purchasing a new mattress as it had been awhile since we were in the market for one. We originally did not have our eyes on a Serta, but quickly changed our minds after reading reviews and laying on one. We soon found it was the comfort and quality that we wanted. We have been getting a better nights rest ever since the first night we slept on it.
My sleep quality improved immediately, it took a couple weeks to adjust from regular old mattress to foam but I love it! When I first slip into bed I definitely feel the coolness of mattress. Paired with a moveable bedframe it's the best purchase I have made in a long time!
I love this mattress. I was hesitant to spend so much on a bed but it was worth every penny. Once it gets through the break in period, it is very comfortable and the adjustable foundation is awesome. I finally can rest without tossing and turning all night long and no longer wake up with a back ache.
With the purchase of this mattress , my acid re flux has disappeared , with the added bonus of the best nights sleep I can remember .
Love this new mattress not only does it confirm to your body it kept me cool all night long. This is out frost memory foam bed and it does not disappoint not the cheapest bed out there but after testing out multiple beds it was worth spending a little more and over the gen year period that it should last it's not that much more. If your on the fence I say do it.
The mattress appears to be very supportive, however, I have not spent the night sleeping on it yet. My old mattress was 40 years old and no longer provided support for me. This purchase was long overdue! Looking forward to a great night of sleep! I did check several ratings for mattresses before I made my purchase. Serta I Comfort was very highly rated by Consumer Reports and others.
This the first in years I'm able to sleep all night. I love my new Mattress!
Initial feeling is very positive. Love the adjustable base.
We slept on our mattress last night and I slept so good. My husband said that it's the best sleep he's had in a long time. I have no complaints of the series we purchased. I would definitely recommend it to anyone.
It's firmness is perfect. No more back pain. Adjustable base is amazing
SLEEPS WELL NEVER HAD FOAM MATTRESS ONLY HAD A SHORT TIME SO FAR SO GOOD
Bought this mattress 4-29-17 will never go back to a spring mattress again love it
This is my first foam bed and I do like its durability and comfort. I was searching for a competing foam bed however the sales consultant told me of the great value and quality of this bed in comparison to another foam mattress company. He was right...after sleeping on this bed for a couple weeks it was the right choice. I sleep very well in fact perhaps I sleep too well! It is very hard to get out of the bed in the morning because it is so comfortable. I highly recommend this bed and if you want to save some money over the competitor then look no further.
I love my new bed . So comfortable and so well made .
After 12 years on an old Serta, we looked for a new one. this bed is so comfortable that both of us sleep better at night. I am waiting to see how the cooling technology works. Otherwise this was a great purchase.
Love it!!! Got the firm model in QUEEN.
Life is great!!
Love the bed. Super comfortable. Feels like sleeping on a cloud!!
I have back problems and sleep issues, thus far I have been sleeping through the night which is rare.
There is NOTHING I dislike about this mattress. My quality of sleep has improved dramatically and I no longer wake up with a lower back ache that has been bothering me for the past year. Who knew a mattress had this much impact! I am very impressed and encourage others to try this product, very happy with my purchase.
After trying several different mattresses, we opted for the Serra iComfort mattress. It provides the firmness we need but still contours to our bodies, all the while providing a cool touch due to the gel infused foam. And the fact that the price was in the range of standard coil ,actresses, it was an easy decision to make!
We where not to sure how the I Comfort and the Serta Motion Custom II frame was going to be. Since we both have back problems that a conventional bed was not supporting. Very surprised how much support there was. Our local mattress store had a special and we where able to replace two beds and very happy that we did. Would recommend the I Comfort for anyone that has back problems.
I like the firmness and that the mattress does not lose its appearance. This is the ideal mattress for me since I have had back surgery. I feel my back adjusting to a better posture and comfort.
We purchased these Twin XL beds with the I Cloud mattresses in an effort to reduce or possibly eliminate my lower back and leg pain at night. The short time we've slept on them, I feel an improvement in my condition. These beds are will worth the money.
After I lost my last Serta IC mattress when my wife moved out, I had to have another. This was by far the best and most comfortable mattress I've ever slept on. I love having the cooling feature as I tend to sleep hot.
This is one of the most comfortable beds I've ever owned. For me, sleeping all through the night and waking up refreshed and recharged is luxury. No more waking up with sore shoulders, neck or back. This bed does it for me. It is also super easy to make and it is also pretty to look at when it's done.
I did not think I would like a foam mattress; but once I slept on it, I found it is more comfortable than regular mattresses. It's not hot like I thought it would be. We've had very good nights since having the bed. I don't feel my husband move at all during the night.
Fantastic product and service! Can't wait to sleep like a log!
Mattresses have come quite a ways in terms of technology since innerspring mattresses. These days there are coil hybrids, varieties of foam, gel, etc. After laying on a bunch of mattresses, we found the iComfort Blue Max 1000 Cushion Firm was for us. We've had great sleep, less back pain, etc. Because we've owned the mattress for a short time, it remains to be seen how it will stand up over the years. Only disadvantages are that it's not as cool to the touch as one would hope, when they advertise the BlueMax cooling (although we wouldn't say it's hot either). Also, it's not yet clear that it has been worth the additional cost over the ~$700 pricing for newer bed-in-a-box competitors, but we're satisfied for now.
My wife and I are both stomach sleepers, and this mattress just felt the most comfortable to us. Coming from a plush to firm has had a major impact on our aging bodies. Neck pains and numbness from odd pressure points has subsided, and hopefully will be a thing of the past. We are pleased with this recent purchase.
Very Comfortable mattress. Hopefully I get many years of use out of it because it was very expensive
I love the cooling ability about this mattress. Nothing beats cool, clean sheets in the South. This is my first foam bed and I am hooked. I get to sleep faster and stay asleep longer. I don't wake up to find a more comfortable position. You get what you pay for with this mattress.
First foambed we have had. Works well for pressure points.
I have had serta mattresses before and have never been disappointed.
Purchased the blue max cooling mattress set, sheets, mattress cover, and pillows... Luv feel of the sheets, heavy duty band on fitted sheet means they actually stay in place. The mattress feels like a cloud, no more back issues. Nice rest to a good morning. However the cooling affect is felt, could be a little cooler for me. Looked and shopped for 6 months, Serta was the best buy.
As someone who lives with Arthritis and back issues, I have been on a never
ending search for a matress that will help. In the past few years I have tried
different mattresses, nothing helped. After researching the Blue Max 1000
cushion firm, I decided to give it a try. I couldn't be happier.
It's been two weeks now and this mattress has made a huge difference. I have
noticed a considerable decreasein my back pain. It offers the perfect
combination of comfort and support. This mattress had also helped with the
dreaded sweating I have had with other mattresses.
I can highly recommend the Blue Max 1000.
Very Happy with this product after one week. We had a Tempur Pedic like mattress prior for 12 years. Very happy with how the mattress feels and is firm but not too firm. Not waking up as stiff in the morning. Also like the gel cool feeling. Very happy with our salesperson. Very knowledgable and helpful.
The Max Blue 1000 CFM is so cool to the touch. It took a couple weeks to lessen the firmness but now it's a perfect comfort. With this new mattress I've been sleeping through the entire nights and wake up refreshed :)
I like the feel of the cushion while lying down. Previous spring mattress felt like it was poking my skin at certain areas. My sleep has improved. I sleep/rest for longer periods. Not sure of the coolness effect once sheets are on the mattress!
Kwesi at Mohegan Lake, NY is Excellent! He patiently demoed several beds and helped us to make a choice based on our medical conditions. Hoping to finally get some restful sleep! 120 days to evaluate!! Several recommendations coming your way Kwesi!
We are so excited about our new mattress. With a baby on the way and a husband who needs a great mattress for his back, we can already feel the difference in support and comfort. And coolness! Here's to many, many nights of better sleep!
With the iComfort cushion firm, I like how the mattress contours to my body and gives me the comfort and firmness I need. The gel provides the cooling effect as long you use breathable sheets.
Definitely like the fact that there is virtually no motion when my souse gets out of bed. Unlike our previous mattress. I did a fair amount of research before the purchase and decided that all foam was the best solution per dollar for me. after seeing and lying on various makes and models, decided on the Serta Blue Max. The salesman told us that the foam would break down a little after we slept in the bed for a month or two, which it did. I'm a little disappointed in how much. I can honesty say that I don't feel I sleep any better now than I did with the old coil mattress. Not any worse, but not better. My wife, however, loves it so give it 4 stars.
I like the firmness, and that I don't sink in. I don't like how the mattress slides forward a few inches after leveling it flat from the head being up. I do feel well rested afterwards.
Have only slept on it two nights, will have to see after a longer time.
This mattress seems VERY FIRM to me. My husband and I have been sleeping on this mattress for 3 weeks. My husband has 18" of titanium in his back and he sleeps comfortably on this mattress. I am very curvy, when I lay on my side this mattress does not allow my hips or shoulders to sink in and my spine feels out of alignment; I feel a lot of discomfort/tension in my hips, shoulders, and neck. When I lay on my back this mattress does not allow my butt to sink in and my back feels like it's arching; I can't maintain this position for any length of time without pain in my back. So I suppose we'll have to reselect a mattress, not sure how to strike a balance as a split King and/or adjustable base are out of our budget.
I did my homework and then spent hours in the store trying different beds. I selected the right mattress and made the purchase. The expense of the bed was difficult, but I know the value of a good night's sleep. After delivery, I still believe that I have the right mattress, but I'm having difficulty with the Essentials III Base in getting the right settings for my sleep. I'll give it some time and have confidence that everything will be fine.
If your a side sleeper this mattress isn't for you. I woke up with my whole back aching and in pain. Also if your spouse snores this mattress isn't good either.
This mattress is fairly comfortable. I like the way I can't feel my partner moving around in the bed during the night and it is the perfect amount of soft yet support. However, after owning the Blue Max 1000 I have noticed that I have a hard time falling asleep and staying asleep due to the fact that this mattress sleeps so hot, I keep telling myself I will get used to it, but as time goes by the problem just seems to get more and more annoying. It's so hot, it's like trying to sleep while you are running a fever. The mattress gives my body aches from being so warm throughout the night. I find myself tossing and turning more then I'd like because I'm desperately trying to find a cool spot in the bed. During the day I feel groggy and tired, probably because I was up all night fighting the heat from this mattress. I am past the 120 day trial and can no longer exchange this mattress, silly me thought I could remedy the problem with changing linens. I have tried different sheets, different mattress pad, different blankets, none of which made a difference. This mattress was not worth the TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS we spent. In my opinion, for that kind of money I should be sleeping like the dead, waking up feeling 10 years younger each and every morning. I feel so disappointed because this mattress is advertised to be state of the art heat dispersing technology, or something along those lines, clearly not the mattress I own. I have to say this mattress just isn't what Serta made it out to be, maybe they should consider changing the advertisement pitch...
Don't let the scale fool you this is a FIRM bed . We really wanted to like this bed but its like sleeping on a Brick . We have had this bed for almost a week now and it still killing our back . We wake up with sore backs I weigh 265 lbs and there is no give in this mattress at all . you sleep on top of the mattress not in it Hoping the next choice will be better .
The title says it all. The mattress is comfy, at first; however, a full night of sleep and it really shows its true colors. I wake up all night sweaty and my back/side is super hot. I wake up in the morning and I'm achy and sore because the thing is too hard.
Just not soft or plush enough. Still hot. Maybe a foam bed is not for me. Hurts my back
Upon delivery and airing out the mattress it has smell like skunk from the first night no one seems to want to help me I've emailed I've called every day they tell me it's escalated to upper management still I have the same smell in the house for a month now I have a headache everyday and don't know what to do about it other than leave it closed up with the fan on and my bedroom and sleep on my couch.
