Our Verdict

Nolah Evolution

Serta Perfect Sleeper Innerspring

The Nolah Evolution and Serta Perfect Sleeper Innerspring are both best suited for average-weight and heavier side sleepers, but otherwise have different strengths. The Serta is a better option if you're concerned about cooling, while the Nolah uses some better-quality materials, making it a bit more durable, and offers better motion isolation.
