Serta Five Star Mattress review

The Five Star Mattress is Serta's bed in a box and the lowest-priced way to buy a Serta direct. Serta describes a quilted innerspring with an individually wrapped coil system, PillowSoft Aire foam for airflow and cushioning, Serta PillowSoft foam and a gel foam band that gives zoned support at the lumbar and hips. It arrives compressed and expands quickly, so you can sleep on it right away. There are eight versions, from an 8 inch Medium to a 16 inch Plush Pillow Top. Serta's collection page listed the line from $219 on November 10, 2026, and its product data showed queens from $319 to $1,119 depending on height. Serta calls it suitable for a guest room, a teen or an adult on a budget. The tallest versions cost about as much as a Perfect Sleeper innerspring, so the Five Star makes the most sense in its 8 to 12 inch sizes.
