Deciding to purchase a new mattress should be an exciting experience! It’s an important addition to our homes and plays a big part in helping ensure we are well-rested and ready to take on the day. However, we highly recommend doing your research before selecting which mattress is right for you, this is why we’ve created this helpful Serta buying guide.
Our guide will give you helpful insight on the brand’s history and products so you can easily decide if Serta is the right fit for you. When buying a new mattress, there are several key factors to consider.

Make sure to consider the firmness level when browsing as well, we also suggest having your price point figured out before you begin your search to further curate your options.
That being said, let’s get into our Serta mattress buying guide to help you figure out which one of their amazing mattresses is right for you.
In case you haven't heard of Serta, they are a well-known mattress brand that has been in the business for over 90 years. They are widely known for their use of advanced comfort technologies such as their patented iComfort memory foam and their Cool Twist gel memory foam. At Serta, they take a consumer-centric approach and ensure every mattress is designed to provide maximum comfort while you sleep.
