Has anyone tried one out or own one?

I stopped at the Minnesota location the other day and was surprised how comfortable it was and not overly expensive.

Reminded me kinda of a higher end Tempurpedic without that sinking feeling... not necessarily a bad thing.

HOWEVER, I'm worried more about longer term use and how the foam breaks down over time.

Thoughts?!

We've been look for a new mattress and just checked out the Serenity again. From our discussion with the gent working, the model has only been available for about 6 months, but has been in the works for 10 years. He said it's had some tough testing for a good two years before the put it on the floor. It sounds like they put a lot of time and research into the developement. 

Eventually the foam base will begin to break down and we were told by another sales person that it may not last quite as long as latex, due to the base material. But the warranty is for 12 years on both types, and their customer service is generally very good. Plus, they have a comfort return policy, where you can swap for another mattress within a year for a fee (something like $250). 

I have on older spring mattress from them and the quality has really been quite good, just time to replace it. Our plan has been to do latex, but theirs are quite soft. However, the Serenity surprised us both, and my S.O. prefers the Serenity to the latex. She's only about 115 lbs and it's a firmer feel, so I was surprised, but she really liked it. Then we tried their 9" latex on a firm foundation (on their adjustable beds), and that seems just about right as well.

Going to be a tough call, but the Serenity seems to be the real deal, as far as we can tell. Hope this helps.

Will keep you posted.  Adjustable Scape bed with Serenity Memory Foam Mattress will be delivered March 2, 2012.

After much shopping and reading was very pleased with the pricing and quality I saw at Original Mattress Factory.  Their pricing allowed me to purchase an adjustable bed.

Have friend who will only buy from Original Mattress Factory.

A few weeks ago I did see this mattress.  Thought it was very very firm.  The store was a little cold and the salesperson did say that tempurature does effect the foam.

I thought I'd update, as we've had our Serenity for about a week. Will keep it brief, as we haven't had it long enough to really put a review together. The foam does have some off-gassing. Not horrible, but not a pleasant odor. And while we do like the foam compared to our previous spring bed, it does sleep firm. I find that I don't feel I sink into it quite enough for the foam to completely do it's thing, does bother my hips a little after while, if I'm on my side. It does not get hot, however, which is great. 

I'm debating a latex topper to soften things up for my. My s.o. likes it and doesn't have any problem. We'll see how things progress.

If you're looking for more, there are reviews on the Original Mattress Factory's Facebook pg.

Update to my post 2/28/12

I have slept on my Serenity foam mattress from OMF with adjustable bed for 30 days.

I have chronic lower back, hip & legg pain.  It is a major improvement from my older mattress. I do not wake with as much pain as I did, but still have pain.

This mattress is a bit firm. Will probably purchase mattress topper to soften.

My recommendation would be to buy from retailer that allows you 90 days to exchange or return in the event you are not satisfied with the comfort of the mattress you purchase.  I do not have this option or would probably exchange or return. Each store has different policies, where you live OMF may allow you to exchange or return, where I purchased did not have this choice. Did not give it a thought, have been very lucky past 25 years with buying mattresses that I was always happy with from the start.  Of course the older you get, and with more aches and pains it's a little different.  The S- Cape adjustable bed by Leggett & Platt  I love and highly recommend if in your budget.  The pricing was very good at OMF for this, they do have other mattresses to choose from.

if you like a little firmer mattress, you may be very happy with Serenity.  If you have chronic or severe back pain, again purchase where you can return or exchange to your comfort level if you are not completely satisfied.  A good mattress can be an investment.

This mattress is not " warm", nor does it have any type of odor.  The people that I dealt with at OMF were great!

I purchased a RejuveNite Low Profile Latex Pillow from OMF.  It is the BEST pillow I've ever had. Loved it so much have invested in a 2nd pillow.  If my Serenity foam mattress was as comfortable as the Latex pillows I bought, all would be perfect.

Good luck to all, hope this could be of some help.

Have added a latex topper to my Serenity foam mattress from OMF.  It has only been a few days, but so far so good.

The latex topper is softer than the firm Serenity mattress.  Just enough to relieve the pressure points where I was feeling chronic pain in

Lower back, hips, legs.  MAJOR improvement that I noticed immediately.  If your mattress is a bit too firm, a good latex topper may help.

Many mattress stores have displays that allow you to try.  Do research as much as you can.  Latex a bit pricier, but if the quality is better and it last longer worth the investment.
