I have a Serta mattress that is only about a year old. It feels fine when I lay down on it, but by morning it feels like it is sagging - you can't really see it, but you can definitely feel an indent where each of us sleeps, and a pronounced hump in the middle between us.
I'm wondering if there is some way to tell if the problem is with the springs or the padding on top? (although, I suppose it could be both)
Since our mattress is only one year old, can I assume the springs are still good and it's just the crappy foam inside that's the problem? I tried to find more info about this mattress, but all I could find out was that is uses a "continuous coil" system and has an "advanced comfort quilt" (yeah, right).
If I can determine for sure that its just the foam that's the problem I may try some surgery. Otherwise, I might just sell it.
Thanks for any advice. |

Thank you for your comments.
The other thing I have thought of trying is flipping the mattress over so that the padding is on the bottom (it is only padded on one side). The foam would still be there, but with the entire weight of the mattress pressing down on it, it might compress more evenly. Then I can put my 3" memory foam topper on and try that. I suspect it will be way to hard, or even still saggy, but what have I got to lose, right?
Also, I just ordered a 3" Talalay blended topper in medium from SleepEZ. My hope is that it will be a little firmer than my memory foam, and more consistent.
I'll let you know if I try the upside down mattress thing. |

I'll let you know if I try the upside down mattress thing. The medium latex should be firmer than any memory foam. In terms of flipping, it might depend on what they have below the springs. My Sealy feels like it has a firm layer of foam below the springs. So, it is possible that would work. I think it would definitely be firmer than putting the topper over the normal top side. p.s. I once made the mistake of buying an all foam mattress that was way too soft on top. I flipped it over and slept on the firm base foam with a 2" topper until I could get a replacement. So, that was an improvement, but not good enough for a long term solution. This message was modified Jul 15, 2010 by sandman
