The Serta iComfort Savant III is a 12-inch firm innerspring mattress that comes in a tight-top style.
Solid for back and stomach sleepers (due to its firmer than average top layer). A decent choice if you enjoy bouncy/springy feel.
Too firm for side sleeping (pressure points won't be supported). More value-oriented alternatives are available.
Saatva Classic is our #1 alternative. They make a luxury, ultra-comfortable, innerspring hybrid built to last. Dedicated 24/7 customer service (best in the industry) + generous policies.
User 1: "I hadn't tested this brand, so when I received it I thought it would be like the Tempur Pedic one that I tried. This one just has up or down on the head and foot and I thought it would have multiple positions. For someone looking for the basics, this is good for the price, but if looking for one that will do more than raise the bed at either the head or the foot, I would not recommend this base."
User 2: "Not sure when exactly I began to notice how uncomfortable this bed was, probably around the 9 month mark. My wife had actually begun complaining much sooner however I thought that may be there was supposed to be a "break-in" period so I was reluctant to say anything. At this point, the bed is very uncomfortable. It seems that my wife and I roll into each other when near the middle of the bed. And in it's entirety there simply isn't a place on the mattress that is in any way comfortable or capable of giving a restful nights sleep. It's routine now to wake with a stiff or stressed back. And as an aside, put lifting straps/handles on your mattresses. These mattresses are incredibly heavy and awkward. Lifting one is not easy without handles."
The serta icomfort savant iii 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 Savant Iii 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 Savant Iii 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 Savant Iii 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: no cover information available which is fairly standard.
• Bed in a Box: no information available.
• Weight: unknown weight (queen size).
The serta icomfort savant iii firm height is 12".
• Suitable edge support because of its pocket coil style.
• Saatva Classic is a phenomenal alternative if you want awesome 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).
Bank on suitable motion transference as a result of the pocket coil style.
You or your partner may possibly experience a fair amount of motion transference, but likely won't awake you (especially if you or your partner are heavy sleepers).
NOTE: Motion transfer measures how much movement shifts from one side bed side to another. If you sleep with a partner who tosses and turns during the night, get a mattress that offers effective motion isolation.
Less motion transfer = deeper sleep = happier life.
