Good evening all. We are looking into a new mattress since our current one is being exchanged under warranty. We are limited to what JCpenny sells, and at first glance we really liked the feel of the Serta iComfort Revolution Plush, but after reading so many reviews here we are now unsure. We have not had much luck in the past ten years with mattresses since this will be our fourth being replaced under warranty. Mainly issues with sagging mattresses. So being that every retailer has a different name for the same model mattress, finding reviews is very difficult. So with this said, anyone have feedback on this mattress? Also if anyone knows the name of this mattress at other stores so I can research further, I would appreciate it. Any info greatly appreciated. Thanks again

I think you'll be advised to stay away from pillowtops. Even the firm ones will get body impressions due to the cheap foam used in the actual pillowtop. Reviews of all pillowtops seem to be nearly uniformly dismal, even with the most expensive models. You're better off getting a good quality, firm NON pillowtop (if you want an innerspring mattress and not foam) and adding softness to the bed with toppers, which come in a great variety of materials and thicknesses. Toppers are easily reconfigured, switched around, built up or down, or replaced to your comfort, unlike expensive beds. |
Say no to the pillowtop. All the online advice I've read says to avoid them like the plague. Most people recommend purchasing a mattress that is too firm rather than too soft. You can easily add 2-3" latex topper to add softness but it is more difficult to add firmness. |
Thanks for the feedback. I would have to go back and try the Sealy Mapleton Hill Firm King Mattress which from the online pictures and description it is not Pillowtop. Anyone have feedback on this mattress: http://www.jcpenney.com/jcp/X6E.aspx?GrpTyp=ENS&ItemID=1c9fc13&DeptID=70752&CatID=72421&SO=0&SelDim=5%7e+877%7e+8%7e&x5view=1&NOffset=0&Ne=949+5+877+8+1041+586+1273+18+904+833&N=4294953249+260+4294945690+4294961728&Nao=0&PSO=0&CmCatId=70749|72421
You see going on our 4th mattress, we are looking all over for reviews and feedback. Unfortunately as I said in my original post, I have to stick with JCpenny. Thanks again for all your help and info, great site...

I have no direct experience but from looking around at stores, I would say that if you do buy a Sealy, get one of their new ones with the individual pocket coils and stay away from a pillowtop. Better to buy one that's cushion firm then add a soft latex topper if needed. |
Looks like I am stuck with a Pillowtop or the iComfort. None of my local JcPenny has any decent non pillowtop mattress and since I am force to reselect with them I cannot go anywhere else. Now the sales person did tell me that I have a 120 day return policy on the iComfort Revolution and it would be a refund and not a reselect. Any suggestions? |
