The 3 Serta , Simmons , Sealy





My wife and I swore by the 3S and I feel one won't go wrong with the 3S.

My wife and I have tested the beds on various location : Furniture Mall, Serta Sleep center, Ackerman & Robinson's. Some of the mattress that we've tested are the following
1) Serta Missouri $2599
2) Serta Alabama $2699
3) Serta Louisiana $2100
4) Sealy
5) Simmons Glendale ( used in a lot of hotels, >$3k )
6) Simmons Charleston $2899

All of them are more than 2k and selection is based on plushness / cost ratio. Initally , tested the Alabama and it's really plushed. We're very concern as too plush will cause the matress to be less durable as prolonged sleeping on it will cause it to soften. After that we tried Misssouri and we felt that a less plush mattress is better for better support then a too plush one. As we are quite conscious, we progress on to Louisiana and I couldn't really felt the difference, it could be that I'm not heavy enough to appreciate the comfort as advised by the Serta sales exec. Hence. I'm leaning towards the Lousiana and I think if I can't feel the difference why should I pay more for it.

Simmons is very good as they are using pocketed springs but extremely expensive. By the way, for those that are uninitiated Louisiana is also using pocketed springs. Pocketed springs are good as it provides the support in compressed formed as opposed in tension with respect to individual spring by Sealy.

Simmons is out due to it's price and Sealy is out due to it's individual spring. And since, I'm tight on a budget and Serta is providing the following:
1) Serta Queen Size Matress protector
2) 4 Serta comfort pillows
3) 1 dutch pillow
4) 1 set of bedsheet
5) 2 Serta Couting sheeps
6) Serta Queen Size Designer Bedframe
7) ~$2000

Hence, we purchase the Serta based on the following criterion as above.

Quote from Singaporebrides

well let me give u all some advices i have done research for the 3 Ss(simmons ,sealy,serta).

For simmons they r renowned for the support for their original pocketed coil technolgy .Simmons is the first that bring in individual pocketed coil decades ago it is the orginal only orginal pocketed coil are pre-compressed. I know u all dont understand. For example when we pre-compresses a coil from a 7 inches(Simmons have the highest coil height in the market) to a stardard height simmons set, the coil actually will be insisting on getting up so we slp on the mattress we can feel the support.Imported from USA,Japn,Korea,Canada,OEM malaysia,OEM China n OEM Thailand

Sealy entered Singapore market not very long Sealy are renowned for their Posturepedic coil we call it open coil all the coils are fully connected with wire.Posturepedic coil have sensory arm n triple off set it is said to be able to adjust to the correct alignment for our body.Sealy mattresses are mostly very comfortable.Sealy is the world's best selling mattress. Total Sales figures (world no. 1) Sealy + its two other sub companies.Sealy also have very wide price range(cheap to very expensive)as compared to Serta n Simmons.Most range Asemble in Thailand.Only some Unicase(expensive) from USA

Serta is the youngest in Singapore mattress industry compare with the other 2.Serta is renowned for its mira coil technology is also name open coil fully connected with wire among the coil, n their comfort level for mattress.If serta says it is no.2 no one dare to compete with it for comfort level.But Serta these recent years did come out with their pocketed coil series for their mattresses.Serta did also won the title (We make the world's best mattress).Most range asembled in indonesia. practise OEM(original equipment manuafacturing).Some from USA.

Well If u wanted support higher can go for Simmons,if u wanted Comfort level higher go for Sealy or Serta open coil(motion transfer high) are used to make soft n comfortable mattresses.If you want support n no motion transfer between u n ur partner can go for Individual pocketed coil.If u only more concern about enjoying of comfort level 3 minutes before u slp u can go for open-coil Sealy or Serta.Only Simmons USA range can be compatible to Sealy n Serta for the comfort level.If u r more concern about the 8 hrs of sleep u will need good support u can go for Simmons.Choose a mattress according to what your needs.
