Serta Revival Firm King Size Mattress and Foundation Set

This is not a bad mattress, it is good quality and at a good price. I found it to be extremely firm however. I have had it for over a month and after the first night I ordered a thick pad to go with it for some much needed give (it was rough sleeping until the pad arrived). I am hoping that after some time it may wear some tension out of the springs or something, but so far it is still pretty firm. I have a bad back, and am a side sleeper, before this mattress I woke up frequently thru the night with back pain, the good thing with this mattress is that I noticed an almost immediate improvement in my back pain. The problem is that it is so firm it hurts my ribs and hips from sleeping on my side, the addition of a pad has solved that problem. A firm with pillow top mattress would have been a better purchase.

I visited a local bed store and could not find this specific mattress to test it out. At the store, I tested their cheapest FULL size Serta mattress (about $375 with box spring+ tax, np delivery) and it was terrible, too soft, too thin, junk. The sales person said they only kept that one in the store to show customers what you get for that price. Next I tried the second lowest price full mattress (about $500 with box springs + tax, n delivery) and it felt nice. Being frugal, I took the chance and ordered this Serta Revival full from Overstock, with a low profile box spring (included). It took about 3 weeks to get here. We live in a remote area in the Rocky Mountains. A "white glove" delivery service brought the mattress into the bedroom, removed the packaging, and placed the mattress set where we needed it (really helpful when I have a herniated back and cannot lift up anything heavy). They were friendly and efficient, and even took the packaging with them, leaving me no trash. Some folks complain about the time it takes to deliver the product, yet OS says it takes 2-4 weeks, so folks shouldn't complain, its free! The mattress store was going to charge me $50 for delivery! The mattress is firm, as described, yet comfortable. I use it with a $25 Serta Mattress pad I purchased elsewhere. I love the option of standard or low profile boxspring. Even though there are more comfortable mattresses out there, you would have to pay 75% + more for them. I am very happy with my purchase. It cost me $360- for a FULL SIZE, yet same model, free shipping, no tax; great deal! The only thing I would change is to have OS show the photo of the actual product. The photo shows the pillowtop Revival model, while the one I purchased was not just a firm, non pillow top. It looks very similar, yet why not just show the actual product. Still, 5 stars, great value.
