User 1: "Purchased this product approximately 1 yr ago. It has developed depressions on both sides of bed. Not the quality I would have expected from Serta. This is the worst sleep surface I have ever owned. This mattress is killing my back."

The serta icomfort hybrid recognition extra firm is a firm (roughly a 7-8 on a 1-10 firmness scale).

A firmer model like this is built for back and stomach sleepers that likely have back or spine issues and need correct spinal and cervical alignment (which is critical for long-term health).

Stay away if you sleep on your side. You won't get the contoured support your pressure points need if you're laying on a flat and even surface with very little 'give'.

The top style does a good job maintaining a flat and even sleep surface to maintain a firmer feel.

The Serta Icomfort Hybrid Recognition Extra Firm is inadequate for side sleeping.

Make sure to choose their plushest offering. If you're not sure which model it is, chat or call with them.

Expect acceptable support for delicate pain points (specifically your low back, neck, shoulders, hips). Top foams relieves tension and pressure throughout the body sufficient.

NOTE: If you sleep on your side, make sure you support your shoulders, hips, and torso equally. Otherwise, you'll suffer long-term nerve and pain problems.

The Serta Icomfort Hybrid Recognition Extra Firm is fantastic for back and stomach sleeping.

Ensure to select their luxury firm (6.5/10), firm (7/10) or very firm (8/10) option. If you're not sure which model it is, reach out to them.

Bank on reasonable support for spine and cervical positioning (specifically your lower back). Relatively firm foams on the top layer keep your back straight extremely well.

NOTE: Focus on finding a mattress that won't sink too far into your hips when sleeping on your back & stomach. It'll throw your spine out of alignment.

The Serta Icomfort Hybrid Recognition Extra Firm has several layers worth exploring:

• Bottom Layer: pocketed coils for sturdy support.
• Transition Layer: foam for padded pressure relief.
• Top Layer: gel foam for additional comfort & overall support along the top layer.
• Top Design: tight-top which does a fine job creating a larger sleep surface (good for couples).
• Cover: fire-resistant fabric which is fairly standard.
• Bed in a Box: no information available.
• Weight: 100 lbs (queen size).

The serta icomfort hybrid recognition extra firm height is 13".

• Pretty good edge support because of its pocket coil design.
• Saatva Classic is a staggering alternative if you want first-rate edge support.

Note: If a mattress uses low-quality materials, it might feel supportive at first, but break down FAST.

Inadequate edge support means less sleep surface (which is not desirable, especially if you sleep with a partner).

Anticipate pretty good motion transference due to its pocket coil design.

You and your partner could perhaps detect a smidge of motion transference, but in all likelihood won't rouse you (unless you or your partner aren't light sleepers).

NOTE: Motion transfer measures how much movement shifts between sides of the bed. Get a mattress that offers effective motion isolation if you sleep with a partner who tosses and turns at night.

A deeper sleep = happier life.
