Our Verdict

Serta Perfect Sleeper Innerspring

Tuft and Needle Mint

The Tuft and Needle Mint is better than the Serta Perfect Sleeper Innerspring for most people. The Tuft and Needle is firmer overall, but offers better pressure relief for lighter side sleepers. It's also more supportive for average-weight and heavier people, so it's better for back/stomach sleepers in that weight category. It's more cooling and offers significantly better motion isolation. That said, some may prefer the Serta's somewhat bouncier and more contouring feel.
