Our mattress is old. As in, it was given to me by someone who owned it before and there is really no telling how long it has been around. By the time it came to me, complete with mystery spots and pre-made body impressions, there wasn't much chance of that famous "perfect night's sleep" happening. That is why I was jump up and down and scream like a banshee happy when Serta approached me regarding an ambassadorship with their brand for the remainder of the year. Finally, that perfect night of sleep was within my reach, and it all started with heading to an actual mattress store to pick out the perfect product for me!

{Choosing the Perfect Serta Mattress}


First, you should understand that I have never been anywhere near a mattress store before in my life. In fact, I never thought I would be the proud owner of a brand new mattress, it always seemed a lot like cars to me. I always took what I could get and as long as I could sleep on it, I was good to go. Boy, I had no idea what I was missing. Everything in the mattress store is bright, white and oh so comfy looking. I was sent to Bedzzz Express in Tallahassee and was directed to the capable hands of Diego, a great sales associate.


First, Diego walked me through some of the amazing features that are unique to the Serta mattresses. The springs of a Serta mattress are individually wrapped and the mattresses are created with layers of foams and materials for ultimate comfort. The iSeries mattresses also have the exclusive gel memory foam built into them too, to help with not only comfort, but heat regulation as well. In addition Serta is the number one mattress manufacturer in the United States, and the only official mattress of the National Sleep Foundation.


After being dazzled with the many benefits of the Serta iSeries mattresses, it was time to try them out. Yes, I did bounce onto the bed and take a little rest. Hey, how else am I supposed to know if I am going to like it once I get it home? First up was the Serta iSeries Applause Plush. While this is a firm and impressive mattress, I am more of a cushy girl myself and was looking for something a little fluffier. Diego said this model would be perfect for those who stomach sleep though, because it would keep you from sinking in and developing back pain, which could happen on a softer mattress.


When I turned and saw the Serta iSeries Ceremony Super Pillow Top mattress, I knew instantly that it was the bed for me. I mean, just look at how it puts the surrounding mattresses to shame. You can clearly see the quality shine through.


This is what I'm talking about! Also, while this mattress definitely has plenty of cushion with a gel foam filled pillow top layer, it is still considered a firm mattress and great for most types of sleepers. So that was it for me, I said wrap her up and send her home!

Serta however makes all of their mattresses to order. This means that they do not actually make your mattress and send it to you until you order it. There are not piles of piles of mattresses lining a gigantic warehouse, aging before anyone gets a chance to sleep on them. No, the mattress is made for you!

I am participating in a Serta ambassadorship. Compensation and a mattress were received, but all words, thoughts and opinions are my own.
