Serta iComfort - An Overview
iComfort mattresses are a made with gel-memory foam instead of traditional innersprings. 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 has been infused with cooling technology that works with the layers underneath to control and dissipate heat. There are additional foams included that vary by model.

More on Serta iComfort Mattress Features
Cool to the touch Cover |
The contemporary and attractive mattress cover is luxuriously soft. And it’s also cool to the touch because Serta has infused it with temperature regulating technology. It works with the TempActiv Gel Memory foam that’s underneath to dissipate heat out and away. |
TempActive Gel Memory Foam |
There are literally millions of gel beads in the TempActiv foam which act to trap and then help dissipate your body heat. This advanced Gel Memory foam helps keep your sleeping environment cooler, so you sleep better. |
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 to 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 numbers of reviews and cannot objectively reflect the experience of the millions of satisfied owners. Fake news anyone?
Conclusion
Serta iComfort mattresses are very popular Gel Memory Foam mattresses. Buyers have found them to be comfortable to sleep in, and most importantly, they don’t get as hot as regular memory foam beds.
In our testing, we found the data backs up the reasons why people like these beds. You can see the specific model results up above, but in general the beds did a very good job relieving pressure points and providing proper support. In addition, Serta has used pretty high quality materials in the mattress and it’s put together with quality in an attractive cover.
The iComfort Blue Max 5000 and 3000 tested well in every sleeping situation but they are also the most expensive beds. They do have the extra features to justify the higher prices but you can also find very comfortable iComfort models at lower prices. So the exact model you pick depends on your personal budget and the features and comfort you’re looking for. After you narrow down to your favorite you can select one of these models and be confident you made a safe choice.
