Side Sleepers

The Serta Perfect Sleeper Mattress rates exceptionally well for side sleepers of all body types. The combination of pocketed coils and memory foam results in top-notch pressure relief and spinal support for these sleepers.

The Renewed Night model includes one comfort layer of memory foam, which contours to the shape of the body and helps prevent pressure points from developing. The pocketed coil core provides adequate support to help keep your spine aligned throughout the night.

The Plush option is highly rated by side sleepers who weigh less than 230 pounds, while those who weigh more than 230 pounds tend to prefer the Medium option.

Back Sleepers

Depending on the firmness option, the Serta Perfect Sleeper Mattress is suitable for back sleepers. This type of sleeper typically requires a medium firm to firm mattress with moderate contouring. The Plush and Medium models are particularly suitable for those who weigh less than 130 pounds, while those who weigh more will likely find the Extra Firm model to be a better fit.

When it comes to spinal alignment, support for the shoulders and lumbar region are among the most important factors for back sleepers to consider. The Serta Perfect Sleeper combines memory foam and pocketed coils to provide the contouring and support needed for sleeping on your back.

While the comfort layer of memory foam in this mattress is designed to contour to the shape of your body, the pocketed coil core provides ample support for the lumbar region.

Stomach Sleepers

Although the Serta Perfect Sleeper Mattress rates well for stomach sleepers, there are a few additional considerations to keep in mind.

If you sleep on your stomach, the most common cause of pain is spinal misalignment from sinking into the mattress. The more your midsection presses into a mattress, the more likely it is that you will experience pressure on your lower back.

Stomach sleepers tend to do well with a firmer mattress that provides more support for the midsection, which helps keep the spine straight and prevents back pain. As a result, most stomach sleepers prefer the Serta Perfect Sleeper Renewed Night Mattress in Medium or Extra Firm. The memory foam comfort layer cushions the upper body, while preventing sleepers from sinking in too deeply.

Mattress Performance

In addition to the hands-on feedback from our team, we conduct a number of quantitative tests in our Test Lab. The below ratings are based on the experience of our testers.

Motion Isolation

7 / 10

Plush: 8 / 10

Medium: 8 / 10

Extra-Firm: 4 / 10

The extent to which the Serta Perfect Sleeper Mattress isolates motion will depend on the firmness level. The Plush model stands out with strong motion isolation, while the Medium and Extra Firm models are more likely to transfer some movement.

This is a hybrid mattress that uses both memory foam and pocketed coils in its construction. While memory foam is known for its motion-isolating properties, the coils add bounce and may transfer movements like changing positions or getting in and out of bed.

The Plush model uses soft memory foam that is slower to return to its original shape when pressure is removed, and it absorbs and isolates movement well as a result. The Medium model performs on par with most hybrid models. The Extra Firm model has a thinner memory foam comfort layer, which makes motion transfer from the coils more noticeable. The coils are pocketed to help minimize this effect.

Pressure Relief

7.5 / 10

Plush: 8 / 10

Medium: 6 / 10

Extra-Firm: 4 / 10

The hybrid construction of the Perfect Sleeper helps relieve pressure points while promoting spinal alignment.

While the memory foam comfort layer cradles your body and contours to its shape to relieve pressure points, the pocketed coils provide robust support.

The Plush model rates exceptionally well for pressure relief. The softer foam comfort layer allows sleepers to sink into the mattress a bit more. It cushions areas like the shoulders and hips, where pressure is most likely to build.

The Medium and Extra Firm models also provide pressure relief for sleepers, particularly those who weigh more than 130 pounds.

Temperature Control

7 / 10

Plush: 4 / 10

Medium: 6 / 10

Extra-Firm: 6 / 10

Hybrid mattresses tend to regulate temperature exceptionally well, as the pocketed coils circulate air and help dissipate heat. The comfort layers used in the mattress can affect temperature regulation.

While a mattress made entirely with foam is more likely to retain heat, using a thin layer of foam above pocketed coils allows for better airflow.

Since the Medium and Extra Firm models do not contour closely, air can circulate around the body to help prevent the buildup of heat. The Plush version is softer and more conforming, and it may retain more heat than the firmer models.

Edge Support

6.5 / 10

Plush: 6 / 10

Medium: 8 / 10

Extra-Firm: 8 / 10

If you find yourself slipping off the edge of your mattress while sitting along the side, it is likely the result of poor edge support. The Serta Perfect Sleeper offers sleepers edge support that greatly decreases or eliminates the feeling of rolling off the edge of the bed.

Serta uses a foam rail around the perimeter of the mattress to ensure better support. This design element is effective in each firmness level.

That said, the edges feel more supportive in the Medium and Extra Firm models. Sleepers are likely to notice that the soft foam layer in the Plush model compresses slightly as they near the edge of the bed.

Serta Perfect Sleeper Mattress Review Breakdown

The Serta Perfect Sleeper Mattress is available in multiple configurations, which differ in firmness options, construction, and pricing. 

Each model of this hybrid mattress is constructed with one, two, or three memory foam comfort layers. While we focus on the Renewed Night model, which only has one layer of memory foam, the Perfect Sleeper Mattress lineup includes all of the following: 

• Renewed Night: Hybrid construction with one layer of gel-infused memory foam and pocketed coils.

• Renewed Sleep: Hybrid construction with two layers of memory foam, including a gel-infused layer and a contouring layer, and pocketed coils.
• Luminous Sleep: Hybrid construction with three layers of memory foam, including a gel-infused layer, a contouring layer, and a cushioning layer, and pocketed coils.

Each model of the Serta Perfect Sleeper Mattress is also available with a pillow-top, which adds height to the mattress and alters its firmness. 

The different configurations of the Perfect Sleeper Mattress indicate what types of memory foam are used in the comfort layers. 

HexCloud gel-infused memory foam comprises the first layer of memory foam in each model of the Serta Perfect Sleeper Mattress. Hexagonal shapes in the foam are engineered to promote airflow and prevent heat retention.The second comfort layer in the Renewed Sleep and Luminous Sleep models is made of WonderCloud memory foam, which is designed for contouring and cradling the body. The third layer in the Luminous Sleep model is made with BubbleCloud foam, which is molded to form multiple bubbles that cushion the body.

Memory foam contours to the shape of your body. This cradling effect can help keep your spine aligned and prevent potential back pain. While some sleepers prefer the close contouring of soft memory foam, it should be noted that it can restrict airflow around the body and trap heat, which could cause you to overheat while sleeping.

Each model includes a support core of pocketed coils. Since the coils are individually encased in fabric, they respond independently to pressure to help minimize motion transfer.

The Renewed Night model is available in three firmness levels: Plush, Medium, and Extra Firm. These correspond to medium soft (4), medium firm (6), and firm (7), respectively. 

Mattress Prices and Sizing

The Serta Perfect Sleeper Renewed Night Mattress is fairly inexpensive for a hybrid mattress. The use of both memory foam and pocketed coils tends to increase the cost of a mattress, but this model combines these materials without sacrificing quality or increasing the price.

All three firmness levels of the Renewed Night Mattress cost the same, which means you don’t have to pay more for a softer or firmer model.

This is the base model of the Perfect Sleeper lineup, and the lower cost can be explained by the simpler construction. Shoppers can choose to upgrade to a Perfect Sleeper model with additional layers of memory foam. Pillow-top variations of each model are also available for an additional charge.

While these additional features may appeal to some shoppers, it should be noted that they can affect performance factors like temperature regulation, edge support, and motion isolation, in addition to price.
