While I can't speak to how any mattress will "feel" for someone else because this is too subjective and relative to different body types, sleeping positions, and individual preferences, sensitivities, and circumstances ... outside of PPP and how well you sleep the most important part of the value of a mattress purchase is durability which is all about how long you will sleep well on a mattress

Bloomingdales sells a Paramount mattress named Asteria, Ersa model. Does any forum member know if Paramount manufacturers the same mattress under a different name that's not exclusive to Bloomingdales? Thanks! The most reliable source of information about whether Paramount makes an identical mattress with exactly the same foam layers and components and the same pocket coil that is sold under a different name through a different retailer would be Paramount itself. If two mattresses contain identical layers, materials, and components then they would be the same regardless of their name and if there are any differences in the materials and components in the mattress then of course they would be different.

I'm assuming that you've read the  mattress shopping tutorial (which is the first place to start your research) but two of the most important links in the tutorial that I would especially make sure you've read are  post #2 here which has more about the different ways to choose a suitable mattress (either locally or online) that is the best "match" for you in terms of "comfort" and PPP (Posture and alignment, Pressure relief, and Personal preferences) that can help you assess and minimize the risks of making a choice that doesn't turn out as well as you hoped for and  post #13 here which has more about the most important parts of the "value" of a mattress purchase which can help you make more meaningful quality/value comparisons between mattresses in terms of suitability (how well you will sleep), durability (how long you will sleep well), and the overall value of a mattress compared to your other finalists based on all the parts of your  personal value equation that are most important to you.

 This is the part of your research that you can't see or "feel" and assessing the quality/durability and useful life of a mattress depends on knowing the specifics of its construction and the type and quality of the materials inside it regardless of the name of the manufacturer on the label (or how a mattress feels in a showroom or when it is relatively new) so I would always make sure that you find out  information listed here so you can compare the materials and components to the  quality/durability guidelines here to make sure there are no lower quality materials or weak links in a mattress that would be a cause for concern relative to the durability and useful life of a mattress before making any purchase.

5” is not the end of the world, but I adore the headboard of my new bed and I’d prefer not to cover up too much of it if I can avoid it. If I can’t find something comparable then I’ll go with the Serta model, but it can’t hurt to try!

 The softer the better. Give me all the memory foam. I am a stomach/side sleeper but I am light so I do not need or want the firmness that they generally recommend for stomach sleepers.

Also worth noting is I sat on the Purple mattress and hated it because I know I’d spend all night jamming my toes into the grid instead of falling asleep, so the only suggestion I will flat out reject is Purple. I am fully receptive to anything else!!

With that in mind, does anyone have a rec for something similar that falls in the 10-12” range? I’m near several mattress stores and department stores so it shouldn’t be hard for me to find a place to go test some of these out. If it matters, I like to sink into my mattress and not move. The softer the better. Give me all the memory foam

 Overall, in my opinion, if you're looking to keep your costs down, but you want something that's still going to offer outstanding performance in testing, this mattress did great for all body types, all sleeping styles, it's very highly recommended in my opinion, then the iComfort CF-1000 medium is going to be a great way to go. This mattress is made extremely well and comes back by a full 10-year non-pro-rated warranty.

 Again, gel helps act as a heat conductor to help pull that heat away from the surface, kind of disperse it, but more importantly, gel is added to give a more supportive and more dense overall feel, and you can definitely feel it in this mattress. When you kind of sink in, you get that very solid underlying feel. The last thing to talk about is the support core. The support core is very solid, it's very durable, it's adjustable base friendly, so if you're in the market for any one of the fine bases that Serta has, this is going to be fully compatible, and I mean you can really just kind of move the mattress any way you need to without having to worry about doing damage to the support system like you would with say a coil system or if you, you know, are moving as an example and you go to move it into a room and you have to kind of like fold it in half to get it up the stairs, that's not a good thing to do, but with this it's just fine

 If you're looking for something that is going to have enough body contouring or softness to give you the pressure point relief that you need to help alleviate tossing and turning, but you want something that's still quite firm and supportive, this is going to be a great way to go. This is the entry-level model in the new iComfort collection, but it is still a luxury mattress and packed with features that are designed to give you cool, comfortable, consistent sleep. Let's go over those features right now. Starting with the top, like all mattresses in the iComfort collection, this does have a cool to the touch cover, which does work pretty well

Serta iComfort CF1000 Medium Mattress Expert Review

Tempur Pedic: everything from their base model all the way up to the $5600 top of the line. I really like them, but I'm not sure I $5600 like them. 

 It's from a reputable store in my area, so I'm not worried about it being a knock off. Molecule 2 feels great to me, but same question about breaking down. Also not meant for side sleepers. 

 BUT! She's the opposite of me when it comes to a bed. She likes the super plush " sleeping on a cloud" feel, but I have a screwed up back and am damn sick and tired of not sleeping. 

 I spent about 3K on this so I finally decided to go up to the Tempur with an adjustable base because I want something that will last me a while. I may have been able to get something of similar quality at a cheaper price but I’m done messing around or taking risks. In for a dime in for a dollar, type of thing.

So I bought one recently. Why? I had a Serta iComfort Hybrid I’d had about six and a half years but for the past two it’s been giving me fits. I spent about 3K on this so I finally decided to go up to the Tempur with an adjustable base because I want something that will last me a while. I may have been able to get something of similar quality at a cheaper price but I’m done messing around or taking risks

I’ve worked in the furniture industry and the mattress industry for years and I’m honestly surprised at how many people recommend Tempur. In my opinion, they are very expensive and only provide one very specific type of feel that they don’t actually replicate that well anymore from the past. That “sunk in” feeling and “trapped in body heat” came from their product. 

Yet now I see people all the time saying they bought a tempur or are considering it and I know these beds are 4K+. To me it shows how well marketing works. Because with so many other options on the market it seems people are willing to go with the most expensive option by far just for the security of the name.

Serious Question: Why does everyone lean towards Tempurpedic? Is it because of brand recognition and marketing?

 so if you're asleep on one side movement takes place on the other. you're not gonna feel very much of it and it will help you sleep undisturbed. There's also a layer of gel active max memory foam which is exclusive to eye comfort and offers a high degree of conform ability as well as fantastic support. And speaking of support, the Serta support core that you're gonna get in the actual bottom portion of the mattress that is designed to push against your body and give you the support that you need is fantastic

 If you are looking for a mattress that offers many of the same benefits that you're gonna find even in the top-of-the-line but at a more affordable price and you want something that has that traditional firm feel, then the Serta iComfort CF 2000 firm is gonna be the way to go. It'll help keep your costs relatively in check and it'll also give you exactly the type of performance that you're looking for to get great sleep well into the next decade. We hope this video is helpful, but if you do have any other questions, please feel free to reach out to us. We can be contacted at one eight hundred four five Five, One Zero, Five two

 Starting with the top, you have a cool to the touch cover which offers thermal regulation to help keep you cooler while you drift off to sleep. But more importantly, it's a thinner cover than what you would find on a traditional kind of rolling quilt pattern which is going to provide almost or put almost no barrier between you and the comfort padding layers. This is especially important in a mattress like iComfort because all of the comfort layers are premium comfort layers and their memory foam so they are designed to really just contour to every curvier body and help produce almost no pressure points, which is the main reason that this mattress line is so highly desirable. The more pressure points you have, the more you toss and turn and the readings on iComfort that we've taken in terms of pressure mapping which you can check out below and the personalized recommendations, they score really well

 This is the second model on the line and has a nice step up feature that is designed to help keep you cooler. Serta has made it easy this year in the iComfort collection to kind of understand the level of cooling that you're gonna get by the snowflakes on the front of the mattress. The entry level has one, this one has two, and then there are other mattresses that have three that are the top-of-the-line will offer the highest degree of cooling throughout the night. The features that are in the CF 2000 firm are quite nice

Serta iComfort CF2000 Firm Mattress Expert Review

 We ended up keeping it and like it now that it has broken in.  It feels more like a medium-firm at this point. We both weigh about 140-145 lbs, if that helps.  Time will tell on the longevity of this mattress

It is unfortunate that most things are not made to last these days. Besides the foams that may not be of high quality, the springs inside the hybrids may not last either and end up sagging as well, possibly before the foams do. 

My take on this subject is to buy the best you can afford, and then take steps to try and squeeze out the maximum life out of your purchase, such as ensuring a supportive base, rotating the mattress regularly, and using a waterproof mattress protector. Don’t treat the mattress like a trampoline, and hope for the best. 

Hi all - currently in the market for a new mattress and would like some help on how to proceed.

For quick background, I'm 5'1, 110lbs, mostly a side sleeper but sometimes on my back. I sleep hot when sleeping with my partner (but it might actually be my bedding as I use a down-filled duvet).  He is 6'3, 190lbs, exclusively a back sleeper. I want him to be reasonably comfortable but he doesn’t live with me, so the priority is going to be on my needs. 

I went to Mattress Firm last weekend and I found that the Serta iSeries 4000 hybrid in plush was comfortable to me, but I didn't stay on it for more than a few minutes. That’s the only one I have my eye on. My partner wasn't with me to try it. I can’t remember what my old bed feels like when I try new ones, so it’s difficult to compare for me. Should I go back and try it again, for longer, and bring my partner? Would I be able to tell fairly quickly in the store if it hurt my spine or shoulder or something? Does anyone here have experience with that mattress?

My current mattress I can't tell the brand but is a pillowtop spring mattress that's at least 10 years old. Partner sleeps on a memory foam mattress at home if it matters.

Budget is pretty open-ended - I got a quote for the above mattress with the upgraded adjustable base from Mattress Firm that came out to about $3700.

Thanks for any advice in advance! I have strong buyer’s remorse for big purchases so I want to get this right, but I also wanna catch Memorial Day sales.

Serta iSeries 4000 Hybrid?

I will start with I have never seen a setup with separate heat and AC thermostats so temper my response with that info. Being in Texas the air conditioner is the important piece (if we ignore last weekend) and the heater is an integrated piece of the air handler. Both are controlled by a single control board and managed by a single thermostat.  I would be interested to see what your setup is behind the scenes

I personally have a Lennox A/C system and there is a caveat to the previous statement.  That iComfort  WiFi thermostat you have is a communicating thermostat and controls the Lennox system over a serial connection instead of shorting wires.  It is more of an extension of the  control board instead of being a set of intelligent relays. Things the iComfort communication provides is the ability to manage a multistage compressor and the speed of the system fan

Ecobee possible?

 I'm sure you've heard of Serta. They've been around forever. Probably one of the most well-known mattress companies out there. We are reviewing the Cf-4000 and what that is they they say it's their max Cooling Max pressure relief upgrade in the eye comfort

 it's taken a while. It's a very very slow response foam. I think this really is what allows you to kind of sink into the mattress and get that amazing pressure relief. The next few layers is what they call their ultra cool system

 I think this really is what allows you to kind of sink into the mattress and get that amazing pressure relief. The next few layers is what they call their ultra cool system. so I think all of these layers work together to create this ultra cool system. the next layer as you can see is really not much of a slow response at all and works as a transition to this next layer which I think is a pretty pretty cool thing

Serta IComfort CF4000 Mattress Review

Tested out some yesterday and thought the Casper was too soft for me. I liked the Serta iComfort CF2000 but my wife thought it was too firm. 

I’m 6’1” and 190lbs and a back sleeper. My wife is 5’ petite side sleeper. I prefer a firmer mattress to support my lower back but my wife doesn’t want a bed that’s TOO firm.
