While on the pricy end, the Serta Arctic offers excellent support for the back sleeper and side sleeper. Also, this product is ideal for the sleeper who shares their bed with a partner, kids, or pets who might otherwise disturb others’ sleep when getting in and out of bed.

The Best of This Mattress

The Serta Arctic is a fine choice for the person who sleeps hot, which might be a bit of a surprise since it’s a memory foam mattress. (Memory foam mattresses have been known to sleep hotter than other constructions, such as hybrids and coils.) This mattress also offers superior pressure relief and motion transfer. Side sleepers and back sleepers will appreciate the pressure relief and support the Serta Arctic provides.

Pros and Cons

✅ Pros

• As promised, this mattress sleeps cool.
• Folks with pets, a partner or kids will appreciate the motion transfer properties.
• This mattress is a great choice for the side sleepers.

❌ Cons

• This is not the best choice for the stomach sleeper.
• The Serta Arctic is not a budget product.
• Combination sleepers may not experience the responsiveness needed for tossing and turning at night.

Pressure Relief

Pressure relief is a must for the side sleeper. You want to experience relief in the hips and shoulders, which the Serta Arctic offers.

Motion Isolation

If you share your bed with a partner, kids, or pets, you understand that your sleep can be easily disturbed if the mattress doesn’t absorb the movement as folks jump in and out of bed. The Serta Arctic provides good motion transfer, great for people who share their bed.

Responsiveness

Responsiveness is an important factor for the senior and people who toss and turn, like the combination sleeper. That’s because you want to be able to move about easily without feeling “stuck” in the mattress. This mattress may not have the responsiveness some people are looking for.

Is the Serta Arctic Firm?

The Serta Arctic mattress rates a 6 on the 1-10 firmness scale, making it a medium-firm mattress. We found this mattress’s firmness to be ideal for the heavier person in the side position, as well as in the back position, because the hips and shoulders get a cushioning support.

Will It Support Your Sleeping Position?

If you’re a side sleeper or if you sleep on your back, the Serta Arctic is a good choice, but it’s not ideal for the stomach sleeper and may not have the responsiveness needed for combination sleeping. If you’re looking for the best mattress for stomach sleepers, we can help. Also, check out our roundup of best mattresses for combination sleepers.

Temperature Regulation

This mattress is designed to sleep cool, even though it has memory foam in its construction. We actually found this product to be super-cool to the touch, primarily because of the top layer. We have more in our roundup of best cooling mattresses for hot sleepers.
