NM® Breathable Mattresses Serta® Mattresses and Accessories
Breathable mattresses are built to move air, not trap it. Through ventilated and open-cell foams, breathable knit and Tencel covers, and pocket-coil airflow, they let heat and moisture escape instead of building up under you — so your sleep surface stays fresher, drier and more comfortable through the night. It's a great fit if you sweat at night, live in a humid climate, or just don't like that stuffy, sunk-in feel. You'll find breathable builds across every brand — Sealy, Serta, Beautyrest, iComfort, Tempur-Pedic, Chirofoam and our own NM line — in foam, hybrid and pocket-coil. Sleep especially hot? See our cooling mattresses for active heat-wicking. Every mattress includes a 365-night sleep trial and free delivery across Canada. • What it means: airflow-focused builds that let heat and moisture escape instead of trapping them • How it works: ventilated/open-cell foams, breathable knit & Tencel covers, pocket-coil airflow • The benefit: a fresher, drier, less stuffy sleep surface • Best for: sweaty sleepers, humid climates, or anyone who dislikes a sunk-in, stuffy feel • Sleep hot?

How to Choose the Right Serta Mattress
Serta® names its coil systems for how the support layer is organised, which makes the name the most useful thing on the label. Where a name says zoned, the coil unit is divided along its length into sections set to different resistances, so the middle of the bed can hold your hips up while the head and foot sections stay softer under shoulders and calves. The 1000 and 950 Series 3-Zoned Coil System and the 1050 3-Zoned Coil System split the surface three ways, while the 1250 and 2550 Series 5 ZoneActive Pocket Coil System divides it into five, giving shorter, more gradual steps between firm and soft. Serta also builds on the 800, 825 and 850 Edition Custom Support® Coil Systems.
Two other pieces of engineering matter when comparing models. Best Edge® Foam Encasement is a rigid foam frame built around the coil unit, and Serta specifies it model by model rather than as part of any one coil system, so check the model you are looking at. It stops the perimeter collapsing when you sit on it and makes the outer few inches usable for sleeping rather than a slope you roll away from. In the comfort layers, gel memory foam has a gel component mixed through the foam, which raises the thermal mass so the surface takes longer to reach body temperature; airflow, an open cell structure and the cover do the sustained work. Moulded memory foam is poured into a shaped mould so its contours are formed rather than cut. You can also explore the Serta iComfort collection. Comfort choices run across Extra Firm, Firm, Medium and Plush.
Three Zones or Five
A zone count tells you how finely support changes from head to foot: five sections step in smaller increments than three. Which one reads better is personal, so lie on both. Our zoned support guide goes deeper.
Reinforced Perimeter
Best Edge® Foam Encasement frames the coils in rigid foam so the edge holds firm, and Serta specifies it model by model. That widens the area you can actually sleep on and steadies the mattress when you sit down. See our edge support selection.
Gel and Warm-Up Time
Memory foam holds warmth because it wraps closely around you. A gel infusion raises the thermal mass of the foam, so the surface takes longer to reach body temperature; sustained cooling comes from airflow, an open cell structure and the cover.
Firmness Choices
Choose from Extra Firm, Firm, Medium and Plush, and remember that a thicker comfort layer can make two beds with the same coil system feel different.
