iComfort Series - Serta Insight Product Review
This spring, Serta will introduce the iComfort sleep system, featuring cool action gel memory foam, to its extensive line of mattress products. The Serta company's research as to what consumers find objectionable about memory foam prompted them to create this new type of mattress. By building a word class product and eliminating one of the only complaints consumers have about memory foam, heat, Serta has created a winner that will facilitate enjoyable sleep for many happy people.
Memory foam features a foam core instead of an inner spring as the support system. The foam softens under warmth, allowing it to contour to the shape of the body and provide substantial pressure relief in order for the body to feel more rested. The foam springs back into place as the body moves. However, higher density foam is more desirable due to being more resilient at enhancing the contouring benefits. One of the only drawbacks to the product is the insulating property it possesses. People who are sensitive to warm temperatures while sleeping periodically complain about this issue.
The Insight is a new type of mattress that utilizes a new construction technique. This new mattress is assembled utilizing a 6 inch Comfortlast® support core topped with 2 ¾ inches of Cool Action Gel Memory Foam. These layers are then enclosed with exclusive Ultimate Edge support construction in order to create a 9 inch profile mattress.
Unlike a traditional foam mattress, Serta's Insight mattress has been infused with Microsupport gel, purported to keep the body cooler, thus alleviating one of the most common consumer complaints about a typical mattress. The Microsupport gel beads gather beneath the body to radiate heat away and keep the body comfortably cool while the memory foam contours and gives firm, therapeutic body support.
Consumer reviews indicate that a memory foam mattress may require a transition period for those who are accustomed to traditional inner springs, but once acclimated, the user will experience consistent comfort not afforded by a coil.
The Cool Action gel memory foam mattress costs a bit more than an inner spring mattress, but the makers have over 75 years of insight into what it takes to get a good night's rest. If a bad back or aching hips are a problem, the innovative design coupled with Serta's 25 year warranty, may allow the consumer to finally rest easy. Buy the mattress of your dreams without any of the temperature issues associated with Tempur-Pedic models.
