Detailed Test Results

This Serta innerspring mattress performed good in our side-support tests, which look at the alignment of the spine, and performed good in our back-support tests, which analyze how well 36 points on the torso are supported. In the durability test, which analyzes the mattress's change in firmness, sag, and damage over a period of up to 8 years of simulated use, this mattress performed very good, showing only minor changes in performance. This mattress's surface conformed to most shapes, its breathability was very good and it showed a minor amount of high-pressure areas. It proved to be very stable, limiting the amount of vibration transmitted. We measured the mattress's firmness level to be soft.
