Getting a good night's sleep starts with the right mattress, especially if you're a side sleeper or share your bed with a partner. The Serta SleepToGo, a popular bed-in-a-box foam mattress, promises solid pressure relief and motion isolation at a budget-friendly price point around $500 for a queen. In our hands-on testing, this 10-inch all-foam model scored well for couples but showed some limitations in recovery time and heat retention.
We evaluated it across key metrics like support, comfort, and durability to help you decide if it's the right fit—or if one of our top-rated alternatives edges it out. Let's dive into the details.
The Serta SleepToGo features a straightforward three-layer foam construction designed for everyday comfort:
At 10 inches tall, it's a standard profile that works with most bed frames. Firmness lands at medium (around 5-6 on a 1-10 scale), making it versatile for back and side sleepers up to 230 pounds. It arrives compressed in a box, expands fully within 24-48 hours, and includes free shipping plus a 100-night trial.
Key perks include a 10-year warranty against sagging and defects. However, it lacks advanced cooling gels or hybrid coils found in premium models.
Our lab tests simulated real-world use with pressure mapping, motion sensors, and weight distribution analysis:
Overall Score: 68/100 – A solid budget option, but not elite.
See the Leesa Studio Mattress (Queen) for better cooling if heat is an issue.
