Serta Arctic Mattress Review: Archived Cooling Hybrid Detail Restored
The Serta Arctic is now a legacy model, but the old page contained a much fuller explanation of its cooling-focused construction and hybrid behavior.
Cooling-focused design
The Arctic line paired cooling cover materials and memory foam with a supportive spring system. The cooling package—not a radically different support system—was the main reason it existed within Serta’s lineup.
Hybrid support
Individually wrapped coils supplied bounce and support while reducing motion transmission compared with traditional connected springs.
Pressure relief
Memory foam above the coil unit provided contouring and pressure relief, giving the mattress a more cushioned feel than a traditional innerspring.
Motion behavior
The backup contained contradictory legacy scores, so those ratings are not being restored. The useful physical takeaway is that pocketed coils plus foam generally damped partner movement while retaining more response than an all-foam bed.
Archived status
Because the Arctic has been replaced by newer Serta cooling products, this page now serves as a construction/history reference rather than a current recommendation.
Current-shopping note
The Serta Arctic is a legacy/discontinued line. Compare current Serta cooling mattresses separately rather than treating old Arctic specifications as current.

Standardized test data
Every mattress in the current program follows the same rubric and order, combining instrument-measured categories with hands-on evaluations so scores are comparable across brands.
| Measurement | Result | How to read it |
|---|---|---|
| Firmness | 6 | 1–10 scale (6.5 = medium-firm) |
| Construction | Hybrid | Foam / hybrid / latex / airbed |
| Profile height (Yawnder measured) | Not measured | inches — measured on our own sample |
| Motion transfer | 8 | score /10 — higher is less disturbance |
| Edge support | 8 | score /10 — sitting and sleeping edge |
| Temperature | 9.2 | score /10 — higher sleeps cooler |
| Pressure relief | 8.6 | score /10 — shoulder and hip |
| Spine alignment | 8.4 | score /10 — neutral posture |
| Ease of movement | Not measured | score /10 — repositioning speed |
| Expected durability | 8 | score /10 — projected 5-year hold |
| Off-gassing | 7.8 | score /10 — higher is less smell |
| Queen price | $2,199 | MSRP before seasonal discounts |
