Serta iComfort - An Overview

iComfort mattresses are made with gel memory foam instead of using a coil system. Memory foam beds like these have become very popular in the last 10-15 years. iComfort made its mark by infusing gel technology into the memory foam to help control body heat, which was a common complaint in memory foam beds. Today’s iComfort mattresses use TempActiv Gel Memory Foam in every model. The mattress cover feels luxurious and is cool to the touch because it's been infused with cooling technology. It works with the layers underneath to control and dissipate heat. There are additional foams included that vary by model.

The Best Serta iComfort Mattresses

We’ve bought, inspected and tested each and every iComfort mattress using our unique pressure mapping system. We combined those results with our analysis of how these features compare to industry standards. We then pressure test petite, average and large body sizes in both the back and side sleeping positions. Then the data is analyzed and compared to all the other mattresses. You can click through to any of the beds listed below and see the detailed test results and expert video reviews.

EverCool Fuze Gel Memory Foam	Select iComfort models have a layer of EverCool Fuze which is premium breathable memory foam. It is infused with gel to help provide pressure point relief. The material also helps airflow reduce heat build-up.

Delivery Method

Serta iComfort mattresses are sold in stores and online. They’re pretty heavy mattresses and so they’re delivered by retailer delivery teams. In-home delivery is free, and so is the removal of your old mattress.

More about Serta

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 United States. 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.
