Why Avoid the Serta iSeries Hybrid 500?
- You don't like a cushion firm comfort level. The Serta iSeries Hybrid 500 only comes in a cushion firm comfort level, which may be too firm for people who exclusively sleep on their side, or simply not to your liking.
- You'd rather a innerspring. Perhaps you love the feel of a responsive innerspring, but the "sink in" feeling of memory foam isn't your thing. While this hybrid won't deliver that true sinking feeling, it won't be as firm or responsive as a traditional innerspring. If you're after this feeling, this mattress may not be for you.
