Seek alternatives to the Serta iSeries Hybrid 500 if...
- You want to buy your iSeries online, directly from Serta. Unfortunately, this model isn't available for purchase online, so you'll have to buy it online through a third party retailer, or visit an in store retailer to purchase. If this is an inconvenience for you, the Serta iSeries Hybrid 500 may not be the right choice.
- You need a sleep trial. Because this model isn't bought online, it doesn't come with a sleep trial. If you need more than a few hours in a show room to make a decision about your new mattress, you may want to reconsider your interest in the Serta iSeries. A great alternative is Saatva. Not only do they provide a generous 180-night sleep trial, but you can order directly from their website!

Motion Isolation
With an 886 coil count system and quality layers of body conforming memory foam, the Serta iSeries Hybrid 500 is great at providing motion isolation.

Edge Support
The Serta iSeries also performs well at edge support. The border of this mattress is encased in an extra deep high density foam rail which reinforces its edges. This means that more surface area can be used, and potential roll-off and sagging are greatly reduced.
Bed Frame Compatibility
The Serta iSeries is compatible with any bed frame, as long as the frame is the correct size for the mattress. Avoid placing your mattress directly on the floor!

- You want to buy from a US company. All Serta products are designed and manufactured in the US, and have been for the last 85 years. If supporting the US's domestic economy and manufacturing industry is important to you, the Serta iSeries Hybrid 500 is a great choice.
Why Avoid the Serta iSeries Hybrid 500?
- You don't like a cushion firm comfort level. The Serta iSeries Hybrid 500 only comes in a cushion firm comfort level, which may be too firm for people who exclusively sleep on their side, or simply not to your liking.
- You'd rather a innerspring. Perhaps you love the feel of a responsive innerspring, but the "sink in" feeling of memory foam isn't your thing. While this hybrid won't deliver that true sinking feeling, it won't be as firm or responsive as a traditional innerspring. If you're after this feeling, this mattress may not be for you.
Final Takeaway
The Serta iSeries Hybrid 500 is a great option if you want cooling, pressure relief, and lumbar support. This mattress is also surprisingly comfortable. You can get the Serta iSeries Hybrid 500 for a great price, today!
