Mattress Forum

In January 2000, my wife and I purchased a queen-sized Serta Perfect Sleeper pillow top mattress set from a local retailer. At this retailer it was called the Baywatch. I remember the price tag being $1100 but we only paid $725 which included a frame and delivery. The mattress was heavenly for many, many years and we loved it. But after about 7 years, despite regular rotating and flipping, it had large deep depressions where we slept and had become less comfortable.

In February 2008, working with the local retailer, Serta replaced the mattress at no cost to us. The replacement was another Serta Perfect Sleeper, a Euro Top called the Italiano Moon. (Although, the one of the tags said itwas made by Restokraft Mattress Company in Romulus, Michigan.) Serta said that the foundation did not need to be replaced. Now, after less than 3 years, the mattress has depressions where we sleep with a ridge in the middle of the bed and we both wake up with aching backs and/or stiff necks.

Part of me thinks no, we can't need a new mattress, this one is only 3 years old. But the other part of me thinks, there are depressions and you wake up with a sore back, it's definitely time to get a new mattress.

Could this mattress really be shot after only 3 years!?
