More on Serta Arctic Features

stacked layers

A. Reactex System Cooling Foam

Serta's exclusive Reactex® System consists of three layers of cooling technology. Each cooling layer has more cooling capacity than the previous layer, so heat is pulled away from your body and deeper into the mattress. The result is a cooling mattress that provides comfortable sleep all night long.

1. Super cooling cover pulls heat away from your body and down into the next layer.

2. The cooling liner absorbs heat and pulls it down deeper into the mattress.

3. Finally, the specialty cooling memory foam has the greatest cooling capacity and pulls heat even further away from your body.

B. CustomFit HD Memory Foam

Premium, high-density memory foam conforms to your body for comfortable support all night long.

C. Serta Foam Core (Memory Foam Mattresses)

Provides durable support for any sleep position. With consistent support from edge to edge, you'll be comfortably supported all night long.

D. 1025 Hybrid Support (Hybrid Mattresses)

An advanced innerspring system with individually wrapped coils that work independently to conform to every curve of your body and provide durable support.

More about Serta

Serta Arctic

Serta is one of America’s oldest, largest, and most trusted mattress brands. Serta launched its iconic Perfect Sleeper brand in 1931. Today Serta is the largest mattress brand in the USA. It’s a part of the Serta Simmons Bedding company which operates 36 American factories. They also have a broad international presence.

There are hundreds of mattress brands available in stores and online. But most of them are just marketing and reselling beds produced by others. Serta actually is a manufacturer, designing and producing its own mattresses. They leverage their lengthy experience and large size to drive innovation and bring high-quality beds to market.

Serta has sold tens of millions of mattresses while maintaining a high-quality track record and level of sales success. And they have many loyal repeat customers. On the internet, there are review sites that gather and present what they purport to be ratings. However, they have a limited number of reviews. They don't fully reflect the experience of the millions of satisfied owners.

Arctic Mattresses FAQs

  1. Do I need to flip my Serta Arctic mattress?

    No, Arctic mattresses are built from the bottom up and are not designed to be flipped. If you like to rotate your mattress every so often, you can do that.

  2. Can I finance my Serta Arctic mattress?

    Absolutely! On the US-Mattress site, you can finance a Serta mattress with Synchrony HOME, Affirm, or Paypal.

  3. How does the 120-night trial period work?

    Try the mattress for at least 30 days, and up to 120 nights. If you don't like it, you can exchange it for a different mattress. You'll have to pay a $139 processing fee and a restocking fee equal to 10% of the purchase price (the restocking fee will not exceed $250).

  4. Can I test the Serta Arctic mattresses in stores?

    Yes! If you're located in Michigan, find a US-Mattress store near you to test the Serta Arctic mattress. Otherwise, call a local mattress store to check if they have the Serta Arctic mattresses in their store for you to test.

Who is the Arctic Mattress Collection Best For?

There are certain things to consider when buying a mattress, most importantly if it'll provide you with the proper support and pressure relief to help you get a great night of sleep. These beds perform very well in those two main areas but there are some other qualities to assess when deciding whether to buy one or not.

Who is Serta Arctic best for? Who is Serta Arctic not ideal for?

An Arctic mattress may be right for you if:

  • You like a true memory foam feel
  • You like a good innerspring support system
  • You overheat easily and want highly advanced cooling tech
  • You value quality and have a decent-sized budget - these beds cost a few thousand dollars
  • You sleep with a partner - very good motion transfer reduction
  • You want to go with an established brand

An Arctic mattress is not the best option if:

  • You're on a tight budget
  • You like a responsive, bouncier feel
  • You sit on the edge of your bed a lot - doesn't have additional edge support
  • You want an extremely firm or soft mattress

Conclusion

The Arctic Mattress collection provides a high-quality selection of mattresses. It has Reactex System Cooling Foam as well as other cooling gel, which helps to keep the mattress cool so you can sleep better (a cool bed is important to better sleep, a hot mattress can make it hard for you to sleep.)

These four mattresses give you a choice from firm to medium. The high-quality comfort layers and Serta exclusive cooling system can help you understand and justify their higher prices.

The Serta Arctic Mattress collection will deliver some of the best sleep possible for side sleepers and back sleepers because the cushioning layers cradle your body to help with back pain, and other aches and pains. Their comfort levels make these mattresses a great compromise choice for couples. No matter your choice, a new mattress from this collection will provide all-night cooling.
