QVC carries a rotating mix of big-name brands and QVC-exclusive mattresses, so the “right” pick usually comes down to how a bed feels after a full night—not just what the spec sheet says. Our team tested four well-known QVC options (Tempur-Pedic, Serta, Northern Nights, and Purple) and scored them on comfort, support, cooling, durability, motion isolation, and overall value.

Which QVC mattresses did we test?
Here’s a quick snapshot of the four mattresses we reviewed from QVC. The group covers traditional memory foam, hybrids, and Purple’s grid design—each aimed at a different sleeper profile.
| Product | Best For | Type | Firmness (1-10) | Price (Queen) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tempur-Pedic Serenity 10" Profile | Couples, side sleepers, classic TEMPUR feel | All-foam (TEMPUR-material layers) | 6.5 | $1,210.00 |
| Serta Perfect Sleeper Cobalt Calm 12" Extra Firm | Stomach sleepers, extra-firm support seekers | Hybrid (innerspring + foam) | 8.5 | $999.00 |
| Northern Nights 13" NanoAir Memory Cool Hybrid | Hot sleepers, combo sleepers, balanced feel | Hybrid (foam + microcoils + wrapped coils) | 6.5 | $849.98 |
| PurplePlus with GelFlex Grid | Combination sleepers, easy movement, airflow | Grid + foam | 7.0 | $1,899.00 |
What stood out in our testing?
Across these four mattresses, the biggest differences showed up in how quickly the surface responds—and how much movement you feel from a partner. The Tempur-Pedic Serenity had the most muted, slow-contouring feel, while PurplePlus was the most responsive and easiest to move on.
NanoAir landed in the middle with a cooler, springier hybrid feel, and the extra-firm Serta was the most “traditional” in comfort—flat, supportive, and unmistakably firm. Each one has a clear use case, but none is a one-size-fits-all choice.
How do these QVC mattresses compare at a glance?
This chart summarizes the main differences in feel, construction, tradeoffs, and the basic trial and return policy details listed for each option.
| Mattress | Key Feel | Top Layers | Notable Benefits | Biggest Drawbacks | Shipping Format | Trial/Return | Warranty |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tempur-Pedic Serenity | Slow-contouring foam feel; very little bounce | TEMPUR comfort + support layers | Excellent motion isolation; strong pressure relief; stable feel | Slower repositioning; not as breathable as hybrids | Ships compressed in a compact box | QVC standard return policy applies | Tempur-Pedic limited warranty |
| Serta Cobalt Calm | Flat, extra firm, traditional support | Gel memory foam over zoned coil system | Strong spinal alignment; sturdy edges; supportive for stomach/back sleepers | Can feel too rigid for many side sleepers; minimal plushness | Ships uncompressed; in-home delivery noted | QVC standard return policy applies | Serta limited warranty |
| Northern Nights NanoAir | Medium-firm; cool-to-touch; slight spring | Graphite + ventilated gel foam + NanoCoils | Cooling feel; balanced support; more airflow than all-foam | Motion isolation is average; edge support is moderate | Ships compressed in a compact box | QVC standard return policy applies | Northern Nights limited warranty |

How we tested these mattresses
We evaluated each mattress (following our standard testing process) across the categories that affect real sleep: support, pressure relief, cooling and breathability, motion isolation, responsiveness, and edge support. Our testers tried multiple sleep positions, compared notes across repeated sessions, and scored each category on a 1–5 scale. Those results were then weighted to produce a total score out of 100.
QVC: Our Testing Experience
Below is what it felt like to sleep on each mattress, plus where it shines and where it falls short. These notes are based on hands-on testing, alongside the construction details listed for each model.
Tempur-Pedic Serenity 10" Profile Mattress
Our Testing Experience
Serenity delivered the classic Tempur feel our testers expected: a slow response at first, followed by deeper contouring as the foam warmed up. Once it settled, it cradled pressure points without feeling unstable, and it stayed consistent across back and side sleeping.
This was also the calmest surface in the group for couples. When one person shifted positions, the other felt very little disturbance. The tradeoff is mobility—if you prefer a springy bed or you move around often, the slow contour can feel restrictive.
What we liked
- Classic TEMPUR-style contour that gradually molds to your body
- Top-tier motion isolation for couples and light sleepers
- Supportive feel for both back and side sleeping
Who it is best for
- Couples who want a quiet, steady sleep surface
- Side sleepers who prefer a deeper foam hug
- Back sleepers who want pressure relief without a bouncy feel
Where it falls short
- Less responsive than hybrids, which can make repositioning slower
- Not the best match for very hot sleepers who prioritize airflow
Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Excellent motion isolation; strong pressure relief; stable overall feel | Not very springy; cooling is weaker than the most breathable hybrids |
Details
- Price (Queen): $1,210.00
- Height: 10"
- Type: All-foam (TEMPUR-material layers)
- Firmness: ~6.5
Serta Perfect Sleeper Cobalt Calm 12" Extra Firm Mattress
Our Testing Experience
Cobalt Calm is direct and no-nonsense: it feels flat, firm, and supportive the moment you lie down. Our stomach and back sleepers appreciated how it kept the hips from dipping, and the edge felt sturdy when sitting or moving toward the perimeter.
For side sleepers, that same firmness can be a dealbreaker. There isn’t much “give” at the shoulder and hip, so lighter testers especially felt pressure build up faster than on the other options.
What we liked
- Very firm, stable support that stays level under the body
- Good edge support for sitting and sleeping near the perimeter
- Strong pick for stomach sleepers who need extra lift
Who it is best for
- Stomach sleepers and back sleepers who prefer an extra-firm surface
- People who dislike sink-in foam and want a traditional feel
- Heavier sleepers who need more structural support
Where it falls short
- Too rigid for many side sleepers, especially through the shoulders and hips
- Not the best fit for anyone who wants a plush, pressure-relieving top
Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Extra-firm support; sturdy edges; traditional, supportive feel | Limited cushioning; can feel too hard for many side sleepers |
Details
- Price (Queen): $999.00
- Height: 12"
- Type: Hybrid (innerspring + foam)
- Firmness: ~8.5
- Construction (listed): Cool Twist Gel Memory Foam; 850 3 Zoned Coil System; support foam layers
Northern Nights 13" NanoAir Memory Cool Hybrid Mattress
Our Testing Experience
NanoAir felt like the most balanced middle ground in the lineup. The cover had a cool-to-the-touch feel, and the mix of foam and coils gave it a gentle lift that kept it from feeling overly “stuck.”
It performed well across support, cooling, and general comfort, which makes it a solid option for combination sleepers. Compared with the all-foam Tempur-Pedic, it’s more responsive—but the tradeoff is that motion isolation is only average.
What we liked
- Cool-to-the-touch cover with a more ventilated feel than all-foam beds
- Balanced medium-firm support that worked across multiple sleep positions
- Slight bounce that makes repositioning easier
Who it is best for
- Hot sleepers who want more airflow without giving up pressure relief
- Combination sleepers who change positions during the night
- Shoppers who want a hybrid feel without going ultra-firm
Where it falls short
- Motion isolation isn’t as strong as the Tempur-Pedic option
- Edge support is fine, but not the strongest in the group
Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Cooling cover; balanced support; a touch of bounce for easier movement | Average motion isolation; edge support is moderate |
Details
- Price (Queen): $849.98
- Height: 13"
- Type: Hybrid (foam + microcoils + wrapped coils)
- Firmness: ~6.5
- Layers (listed): 1" graphite-infused layer; 2" ventilated gel foam; 1" NanoCoil springs; 8" individually wrapped coils
PurplePlus Mattress with GelFlex Grid
Our Testing Experience
PurplePlus felt noticeably different from the foam-heavy models because of the GelFlex Grid. Instead of sinking slowly, you get immediate lift and a buoyant response, which made it the easiest mattress to roll on and change positions.
It also felt cooler than the all-foam option thanks to the open grid design, but that responsiveness comes with a tradeoff for couples: you’re more likely to notice a partner’s movement. In our testing, it struck a solid balance of contour and support—just with a firmer, springier feel than many shoppers expect.
What we liked
- Most responsive feel of the group and the easiest to move on
- Strong airflow and a cooler surface feel
- Supportive edge performance
Who it is best for
- Combination sleepers who dislike slow-moving foam
- Hot sleepers who want airflow and a quick response
- People who want contouring without feeling deeply hugged
Where it falls short
- More bounce means more motion transfer than the Tempur-Pedic option
- Can feel firmer than it looks, especially for lightweight side sleepers
Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Highly responsive; excellent airflow; easy movement; supportive edges | Motion isolation is not the strongest; firmer feel may surprise some sleepers |
Details
- Price (Queen): $1,899.00
- Height: 11"
- Type: Grid + foam
- Firmness: ~7.0
- Key Tech (listed): GelFlex Grid 2" layer; Ultra Comfort foam layer + foam core; dual-layer base support foam; edge support foam rails
How did each mattress score in our tests?
PurplePlus and NanoAir earned the highest overall scores thanks to strong performance in support, cooling, and responsiveness. Serenity finished close behind, held back mostly by its slower feel and weaker cooling compared with the most breathable options. Cobalt Calm scored lowest overall, but it’s also the most specialized mattress here—it’s designed for shoppers who truly want an extra-firm surface.
If you share a bed, Serenity led the group for motion isolation. For hot sleepers, PurplePlus and NanoAir both felt cooler than the all-foam options, with PurplePlus having the coolest surface feel.
| Mattress | Support | Pressure Relief | Cooling | Motion Isolation | Responsiveness | Edge Support | Total Score (100) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tempur-Pedic Serenity | 4.5 | 4.6 | 3.8 | 4.8 | 3.7 | 4.2 | 88 |
| Serta Cobalt Calm | 4.3 | 3.5 | 3.6 | 3.7 | 3.8 | 4.4 | 80 |
| Northern Nights NanoAir | 4.4 | 4.1 | 4.3 | 3.9 | 4.1 | 4.0 | 89 |
| PurplePlus | 4.5 | 4.2 | 4.6 | 3.9 | 4.6 | 4.3 | 90 |
How do you choose a QVC mattress?
Start with feel and firmness. QVC’s options range from slow-moving, contouring foam (Serenity) to highly responsive designs (PurplePlus), with hybrids like NanoAir and Cobalt Calm sitting in between.
Sleep position is a practical shortcut:
- Side sleepers: Serenity or PurplePlus tended to feel the most comfortable at the shoulder and hip.
- Back sleepers: NanoAir and Serenity offered a steady balance of support and contouring.
- Stomach sleepers: Cobalt Calm is the clearest extra-firm option for keeping the hips lifted.
Temperature is the next filter. If you sleep hot, NanoAir and PurplePlus both felt cooler than the all-foam option, thanks to better airflow and faster heat release.
If you share a bed, prioritize motion isolation early. Serenity was the quietest for partner movement, while PurplePlus felt the bounciest. NanoAir is a reasonable compromise if you want a more breathable hybrid feel without going ultra-responsive.
Finally, check the delivery method and setup requirements. Some models arrive compressed in a box, while others use a different delivery format. Either way, plan for the mattress to fully expand and settle before judging the final feel.
Limitations
We tested only four mattresses, and QVC’s lineup can change over time. Use this guide to match feel and performance priorities, then confirm the current listing details for the exact size and model you’re ordering.
QVC Mattresses Vs. Alternatives
QVC can be a practical place to buy a mattress if you want a curated selection that blends major brands with QVC-specific offerings. The upside is convenience; the downside is that model availability can rotate, and you may not see every configuration a brand sells elsewhere.
If you want the widest selection for a specific brand—or you need more control over firmness and upgrades—shopping through the manufacturer or a mattress specialty retailer can offer more variety. If you value a smaller shortlist and occasional QVC deals, QVC can still be a solid route.
Pro Tips for QVC Mattresses
Before ordering, double-check mattress height and delivery style so it fits your bed frame and setup needs. If the mattress arrives compressed, give it time to fully expand before you judge firmness and support.
If you’re unsure about comfort level, start with the more balanced options (NanoAir, Serenity, or PurplePlus) unless you know you like a very firm bed. And if you share a bed, prioritize motion isolation first—partner disturbance is one of the harder problems to solve after the fact.
FAQs
Are QVC mattresses good quality?
They can be. QVC sells established brands as well as house lines, so quality depends on the specific model. Look closely at materials, firmness, warranty and return terms, and how the mattress is delivered. In our testing, the best option depended more on sleep style than brand name.
Which QVC mattress is best for side sleepers?
In our testing, Tempur-Pedic Serenity and PurplePlus were the most comfortable for side sleeping. Serenity has a deeper, slower foam contour, while PurplePlus feels quicker and more buoyant.
Which mattress is best for hot sleepers?
NanoAir and PurplePlus were the coolest-feeling options we tried. NanoAir combines a cool-to-touch cover with a coil-based build for airflow, while PurplePlus relies on its open grid design to help heat move away from the body.
Does QVC offer mattress returns?
QVC generally offers returns within a set window, but the exact policy can vary by product. Check the return/trial details on the specific listing before you buy, especially for larger items like mattresses.
