Greeting mattress experts and lurkers, I am a once-a-decade mattress buyer in need of assistance. Can anyone provide input for the Serta Icomfort foam mattress line? Specifically, I'm interested in the Revolution model king size. My initial search led me towards the Tempurpdic Rhapsody. However, many reviews suggest Tempurpedic's sleep "hotter" than spring or other foam mattresses. My wife is furnace so I dare not bring a mattress home which amplifies that issue. So, my next focus was the Simmons ComforPedic. My wife laid on every model and said they were "too springy" compared to the Tempurpedic and the iComfort. So we are down to one option right now, the iComfort. What I'm asking for help with is advice and comparison. The iComfort line of Serta is very, very new and this is possibly why there is no data or opinions on the internet. My heart is not set on the Revolution for $2,000 and I am genuinely interested in hearing advice and comments even if that information leads away from iComfort completely. Thoughts? Much appreciated, |

I saw that you mentioned that there is no "break in" time so it still won't get any softer. I could have purchased a much less expensive mattress for the same hardness of this darn iComfort. I actually bought this through JCPenney and they are willing to do an exchange at any time but are trying to get me to "stick it out" for a little longer. They can't resell used mattresses so it's money lost to them if I return it. |

I received my mattress yesterday and it is hard as a rock. For $2000 I feel like this is unacceptable. Does anyone know if there is some sort of "break in" period? With this being so new I am having the hardest time finding information on it. By the way, I woke up this morning feeling very stiff after my first night on the mattress. I am only 25 so it's definitely not my age. I am stumped as to whether I should keep it or not. I hope it does get softer the more I use it. It's 2am here in Los Angeles and my second night with the iComfort and I can't sleep! I'm almost missing my ugly, old and considerably less expensive mattress. :( |

It's not a bad product for the price Costco is charging, but Serta put a different cover on it and is charging double. I won't sit here and bash the product, just read reviews on NovaForm for peoples opinion. Hope this helps!

I suspect the smell will fade away as is the case with many new products that one buys now-a-days. I really don't want to be so harsh on my review after just one night, but I didn't think I was buying a new car with a break-in period. A bed should be comfortable on the first night, in my eyes. Temperature of the mattress is irrelevant. We are in the south, bed was delivered when it was 70F outside. I normally am a 'purchase after heavy research' type of person, but with iComfort, seemed like a rather safe bet - it is just a mattress after all, right? Straight up new foam bed with a slight twist (gel)? I wished I would have forked out the extra cash for a Tempur-Pedic - at least the approval ratings are in the 80% plus percentage range over many years, per most websites. I can live with those odds. Also, what is like contributing to our issue is the insight is just 8" thick and the firmest of all iComforts, to my understanding of the iComfort line. |

I do not think gel infused foams work. It's like wearing a thick lambswool sweater, and asking it to keep you cool. Makes no sense. It's memory foam and it will always get hot at night (unless your room is freezing cold).The gel infusion, may stay cooler a minute longer than 100% memory foam without gel, but as your body generates heat, the foam will saturate, so will the gel particles. end of story.
