Awesome informative video. Thanks !!!
So glad it was helpful for you!
Thanks for the review! You give excellent detail on the design and feel of these Sertas (in this line and in the other Serta lines you've reviewed).
Thanks for your kind words John! I'm very glad to hear our information has been so helpful for you.
Thank you so much for the thorough explanation option of those mattresses.
I was wondering if you could help me out? I am debating between a Icomforteco Q20GL plush pillow top ( is it soft enough and also concerns with the previous comment about the 2 different gauge numbers for a short person 5’3) and the Cobalt Calm pillow top (medium or plush). I understand the different points that you mentioned in your video. I am more concerned about the support and the softness and how long it do they last. I am a side sleeper. I want soft but support.
@Goodbed how would rate the heat of this mattress compared to serta i series hybrid. Thabks a ton for all the information. Your channel has been super helpful in making a decision
Hi Madan -- Thanks for your question, and your kind words. Overall, I think the iComfortECO hybrids should be quite similar to the iSeries hybrids in that particular regard, so I'd recommend making your decision based on other factors. As described in this video, the iComfortECO models do have a number of other features that the iSeries models don't have, however those may or may not be a priority for you. I hope that's helpful.
Really great information. Background and question. I'm 6'2", 225 lb, long torso even for my height, 68 y.o. male, combination side and back sleeper. Lower back muscle pain, increasingly in the past couple years. Currently have a 10 y.o. Sealy Posturepedic Destiny, 100% foam mattress. Even with the mattress on the floor, if I sleep on it it consistently tweaks my back. I don't have back problems when I sleep in hotels or on friend's hybrid beds, though they often feel harder than I'd like. Fixing the back problem is priority one though!
I tried a iComforteco Q10 medium yesterday for maybe 10 seconds. It felt fine offhand. Maybe a little firm, but thinking I should err that way for back support.
Question 1: Should the lower number models, less layers/thicknesses, give better back support?
Question 2: Is there much difference between Serta icomforteco and Sealy Posturepedic for back support for my body type?
Thanks for any information.
thanks for this and the iseries video. do you know anything about the idirections (perhaps exlusive to mattress warehouse)? curious how it compares to the other 2 i lines. cannot find the iseries or icomfort around me to actually try. appreciate it.
Thank you for this information. I was considering the Serta i Comfort ECO Quilted Hybrid Q 40 HD Ultra Plush Pillow Top. After watching this video, I am reconsidering because even though I very much like a soft bed, I’m not really a fan of very high dense memory foam. Since I am a light weight petite person ( 5’ 2” & 113 lbs ) I like to sleep “in” my bed & I like a “cradling in” sensation but I prefer a very soft, airy, looser, fluffy type foam. I was almost going to order this mattress but I will continue my search. This information has been very valuable. Thanks again.
Is there a mattress or mattresses that you would suggest that would be soft whereby I would have that “nestling in/ cradling in” sensation? Since I am a petite, light weigh person weighing about 113 lbs. I like a soft feeling in a mattress & I like foam but not the high density memory foam. As I mentioned just previously, I prefer a softer, more airy, lighter, looser type foam but still cushiony.
@@deniseparashac8269 So in most cases, density is independent of softness. We'd expect the Q40HD to still be quite soft - and maybe even a touch softer in the smooth top model. Both should be available in stores if you can get around to trying these out?
@@goodbed I am in the process of locating stores where this mattress could be found. There are several stores in my area that sell Serta mattresses but not that particular model. I called Serta & was told that they couldn’t tell me which stores sold that specific model but they gave me a list of stores in my area that sold Serta mattresses. I would really like to try this mattress out so I am even looking into stores that might be a 2 or 3 hour drive away from me. Just to clarify, when you say “ smooth top”, are you referring to, without a Pillow Top or without the quilting effect on top?
Hi @@deniseparashac8269. In most all cases on our website, and certainly all cases in this video, "smooth top" refers to the latter - ie, the use of a stretch cover without a quilting layer on top.
@@goodbedSo then I would assume this also means without a Pillow Top since just about all the Pillow tops I’ve seen are quilted?
Thank God I watched this video. I can’t believe they are using Soybean Oil in all of the new mattresses….Im deadly allergic to Soybeans…..you saved me a lot of money and possibly my life. Thank you.
Wow, very glad we could help on this Jon!
Hi, thanks for the detailed explanation. I still have few qs hoping you could answer.
Whats the overall thickness for q10 extra firm? Im seeing some websites listing as 10.5" and some as 11.25". I cant find the thickness of each layer either..
How is the motion isolation on q10 extra firm?
Does this feel more like traditional innerspring due to not having thick foam layers?
Hey there! So we generally think that most extra firm models feel fairly similarly with an overall sense of extremely firm foams or minimal foam and an underlying coil unit. In this case, the Q10 Extra Firm should feel similarly to other very firm innerspring models, just with a slightly cool to touch cover.
As for the layers, there's not much complexity in the Q10 model. This is about a half-inch of quilt foam with a half-inch of memory foam underneath. And we think that the 10.5" is accurate.
I hope that's helpful.
compare eco to Serta iComfort CF4000 Plush Gel Memory Foam Mattress and whats difference betwn plush and ultra plush cf 4000? how do the other beds you've reviewed compare? most are bed in boxes.
Hi Mike, which eco collection will be similar as the iSeries 2.0 Hybrid 2000 12.5”
Mike can you do a smooth hybrid S50HD erview ASAP! please!!! Thank you!
Hi Bob -- Thanks for your suggestion! We do prioritize our editorial content based on input from our readers, so your input will certainly be noted.
Great review! Looking at the Q10 Extra Firm. Is there a difference in quality between the two different heights in this mattress? Thank you!
So this is a bit confusing as there should only be one height on the Q10 Extra Firm. Can you show us where you see two different heights? And/or is it possible that these different heights are created by variations in the height of the underlying foundation and not the mattress itself?
@@goodbed Thank you for your quick response. Yes, mistake on my part after looking at a few Sertas yesterday. I am looking for a shorter in height (10 1/2") like this one but got confused which one it was and not certain the extra firm is the right one for me.
@@michiganlinda Have you been able to try these in person? It's difficult to recommend an Extra Firm to people unless they know they like a very firm mattress.
@@goodbed laid down briefly, sure wish they would let me sleep in the store! My 20 year old Beauty Rest with pillow top was a firm and served me well but yes I’m concerned this Serta will be too firm.
I wish you would do videos on just Ultra Firm mattresses -
I am looking for an ultra firm mattress, 9/10 or 10/10, with good edge support. Any suggestions??
Good question. We actually just covered an Ultra-Firm in the Beautyrest Harmony video. But more generally, here is a list of all the models that are either an Ultra Firm (1) or Very Firm (2) on our 9-point softness spectrum and rate at least an 8 or higher (out of 10) for edge support:
www.goodbed.com/mattress-models/?softness=2&edge-support=8
As of right now, there are 14 matching models, so you can either up the standards or add other filters to refine the list further.
One of the issues with this collection of mattresses, is that by having sections of the mattress than contains two different gauge numbers ( a firmer coil system for the lumbar region & a more flexible coil system for the hip & shoulder region), that Serta didn’t seem to take into consideration the length of a person’s upper body. For example, a shorter upper body length would place that person’s waist/ lumbar region up closer to the top of the bed & their waist would not be on that firmer region. In that case the hips would actually be on the more firmer coils which would be the opposite of the concept that it appears Serta had in mind but it appears they might have based the location of that firmer section of coils on where the lumbar region on a person of average height or average upper body length, would be located. With a shorter upper body length, the lumbar region would be up closer to the top of the bed, resting on the less firm coils & the hips would be resting in the firmer coils, thereby not being good for spinal alignment. This mattress collection would have been much better if Serta used the same coil gauge number throughout the entire mattress, because then the shoulders & hips,being heavier parts of the body, would sink a little more, thereby creating better support in the waist/lumbar region.
Hey again! Thanks for sharing this perspective. Your point about how this style of zoning could be counter-productive for people who are below a certain height (eg, 5'0" and shorter on a queen, or 5'2" and shorter on a king) is quite interesting and useful. This is a rather unique style of zoning. We have spoken with many people that like it, and we do think it would be advantageous for some types of sleepers (eg, folks with wider hips and a narrower waist), while others would be better off on a more traditional 3-zone design. I hope that's helpful.
Thank you very much for this information. Very helpful. Are there models available that you would expect to have a high coil gauge number? I’m a light weight sleeper weighing 113 lbs. & 5’2”. I’m looking for something that is soft on the comfort part but also a softer, thinner, more flexible coil wire. Thank you
. Much appreciated.
@@deniseparashac8269 Hey Denise, We sympathize. It can be hard to find suitable mattresses for smaller framed persons. I don't recall all of the mattresses you've tried, but generally plush options will use lighter, higher-gauge coils (around the 15 range) and would be suitable for you. You might look at a few of the Beautyrest Black Plush Hybrids, the Sealy Albany Posturepedic Plus Hybrid, and some plush models in the new Beautyrest Harmony Lux line. With online brands it's a bit difficult to gauge softness in their very soft models, but if you can get to a Brooklyn store they have a wide variety of options. The Aurora could also be a good fit for you.
We should also have a few new features on the website shortly that'll sort existing models by firmness. Hope that helps.
Thank you so much for this information. I really appreciate this valuable service. As you said, it can be challenging fir a light weight petite sleeper to find a suitable mattress. I tried the Serta i comfort ECO Q40 Ultra Plush Hybrid. I found it to be a little too much of that high density memory foam feel for me. I am a side sleeper & I like to sleep in or cradle in the bed” but not a super high density memory foam feel. I also like a soft mattress with a flexible high gauge coil system with a some bounce. I watched your videos for the Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid, ( I would be interested in the soft model) & the Aurora Lux models. ( soft). Other than the cooling feature of the Aurora, what would the difference in the “feel” be between the soft Signature & the soft Aurora? I don’t have a BB store near me & I’m considering both & trying to decide which one would be best for me in terms of fit & feel. Thank you so much!
@@deniseparashac8269 So these mattresses are quite a bit different. The Aurora has a very soft "foam hybrid" type surface, while the Signature is more of a classic "quilted mattress" type feel. We have historically found the Soft Aurora to be extremely soft, and I wonder if you might do better on the Medium?
We've also just launched filters on our website that allow you to search by firmness. You might give those a look here: www.goodbed.com/mattress-models/
Question about the Q10 Extra Firm. What level of firmness is it?
Hi there -- That one is an "Extra Firm" on our softness spectrum, which is our firmest classification on our 1-9 scale. I hope that's helpful.
Can you put these on adjustable frames?
Yep! These should all do fine on an adjustable frame.
@goodbed Thanks for great video! Is the Firm pillow top and the Plush pillow top the only difference in The two Q20GL Mattresses? Are they both 'Firm' support in accordance with Serta rating- it's unclear from the website if the Plush Pillow top is on a 'firm' mattress? And which one is better for a side sleeper with back pain? Thanks!
Hi there -- Thanks for your question. The spring unit on both of these are the exact same, so it is only the foam layers above the springs that differ between these two models. The net effect is that we categorize the Firm Pillow Top as a "Medium-Firm" on our spectrum, and the Plush Pillow Top as a "Medium-Soft," and there is a similar difference in the amount of cushioning depth between them, with the Plush model having substantially more. Bounce levels are pretty similar but we also found the Plush model to have a tiny bit more memory feel.
As for which one is better for a side sleeper, this one will depend on your body shape and weight. You'll get a LOT more conformance on the Plush model in this case, so if you need that (which a curvier side sleeper might), this one will be way better. However, if you are a heavier side sleeper, you might find the Plush model allows your hips to sink a little too far into the mattress. As for the back pain, this will generally depend on making the right choice based on the spinal alignment considerations I just described. Spinal alignment is always about personal fit, so no mattress will be universally better for back pain than any other mattress.
I hope that's helpful.
@@goodbed Thanks for your detailed reply- I am really impressed with your knowledge on all of your videos- great job.
One further question- what is the essential difference please between the Q15GL and Q20GL- besides the addition of a pillow top? Is one spring unit actually firmer than the other and if so which one? Thank you
@@lulugold6532 From a construction standpoint, the essential difference is just the pillow top. But from the standpoint of your experience, the resulting feel of the Q15GL will be in between the Firm PT and the Plush PT. It is closer to the Firm PT in terms of softness, but closer to the Plush PT in terms of cushioning depth, memory feel, and bounce. Hope that's helpful.
I work at a mattress store and we are carrying the q10 X.F. q10 med. and both the q20 pillow tops. Kind of disappointed that there isn't a more true medium in the Q line. Going to be interesting how they play out compared to the perfect sleepers
This is an interesting point. It's possible the Q10 Med might soften a bit to approach a more medium overall feel, but we agree with you - it was on the firmer side (a "Firm" on our spectrum). And the two Q20's kind of straddle the perfect "Medium" classification on our spectrum as well.
FWIW, here are the ones in the iComfortECO line that we did find to be a perfect Medium on our spectrum:
* Q15GL (though this is at the very firmest end of our Medium classification)
* Q30LTX
* S30LTX
* S50UHD
* F10
* F30LTX
I hope that's helpful.
@@goodbed if you could rate both the q10 med and q15gl using your metrics, what would you give them? i agree the q10 med (after 2 weeks of use) is still a FIRM mattress .. i am considering swapping it out for the q15gl, but don't want a true plush mattress as Serta advertises .. I am transitioning from the lux firm winkbed, which i was finding to sag in after only 1.5yrs
@@mjh2165 We classify the Q10 Med as a Firm and the Q15 Plush as a Medium. That said, they are actually a bit closer in feel than it sounds, since the former is at the softer end of its classification (nearly a Medium-Firm) and the latter is at the firmer end of its classification (close to a Medium-Firm from the other direction).
You might find this answer useful as well: www.goodbed.com/mattress-questions/15114/serta-icomforteco-q10-too-firm-for-a-medium/
I hope that's helpful.
@@goodbed thanks very much for the reply - looking forward to giving the Q15GL a go in a store nearby .. btw, I did respond to the link you provided with some additional questions (that was also me 🙂) .. I'd be grateful to hear from your team again - cheers
@@goodbed @pieluck here's an interesting point that only adds more confusion for me on Serta's softness classifications - if you look at the Q15GL (13") and S15GL (12") construction and softness ratings, the constructions are nearly identical (from top to bottom: cover + 1" Terra Fusion Mem Foam + 1" EverCool Fuze Gel Mem Foam + 0.5-1" Comfort Foam), yet the Q15 is rated as a PLUSH and the S15 is rated as a FIRM / the Q15 even includes 0.5" Gel Foam in the cover .. I tried the S15GL at a local mattress store, and although a "Firm", it was indeed softer than the Q10 "Medium"
is the same coil system used across all S and Q models whereas the previous generation Icomfort hybrid firm models used different coils than the medium and soft ones?
Hi Michael -- Very astute question! 🙂 The new iComfort hybrids use the same zoned coil unit in all models. So the feel differentials come entirely from the foams on the top half of the mattress. Hope that's helpful.
Mike, big help, and the confirmation I was looking for. So, I ended up taking your advice in addition to speaking with Serta Support and will be trading in the Q10 Med for the S15GL. Serta did honor an additional 120-day trial period in light of how we both view the actual firmness of the Q10 Med .. being a firm. I also pointed out some of the more confusing specs amongst the ECO lineup (e.g. S15GL Firm vs. Q15GL Plush having near-identical constructions), and support agreed this is contradicting information and would go back to the team with the feedback. I’m really looking forward to giving the S15GL a go and really can’t thank you enough for all the help you’ve given me - appreciate it!
@@mjh2165 My pleasure -- glad it worked out!
What does the number of snowflakes on the side of the mattress mean?
Hey Suzanne! These advertise the number of cooling features a particular model has. More snowflakes = more cooling features in that particular bed. These start with cool-to-touch yarn in the cover and go up from there to gel memory foam and other features.
why did they even create this line? what does it have on any level other than confusion over icomfort?
could i sit on the edge to put my socks on?
Hi Brandon -- Yes, of course. Many people don't like when they sink deeply into the edge of the mattress, however that shouldn't prevent you from sitting there for a few moments to put your socks on. That said, in this line-up, edge support will be better on the spring versions (the models that start with Q or S) than on the all-foam ones. I hope that's helpful.
@@goodbed awesome, thank you.
