Sears’ mattress selection leans on familiar national brands—mostly coil and hybrid builds designed to feel balanced for a wide range of sleepers. To cut through the marketing, I spent time on four popular models and scored them for support, cooling, pressure relief, motion isolation, responsiveness, edge support, and durability, then called out who each bed fits best and where the trade-offs show up.

Which Sears mattresses did we test?
| Mattress | Overall Score | Pros | Cons | Ideal For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Serta Perfect Sleeper Dazzling Night 12" Hybrid Medium | 4.2 | Balanced feel; zoned support; steady temperature | Light bounce noise; not the most isolating | Most sleep positions; back/side combos |
| Serta Perfect Sleeper Adoring Night 10.5" Plush Tight Top | 3.8 | Easy pressure relief; quick to move on | Softer edges; lighter motion control | Lighter-to-average sleepers; guest rooms |
| Serta Perfect Sleeper Blue Lagoon Nights 13.5" Medium Tight Top | 3.9 | Solid mid-back support; stable surface | Less “hug” than hybrids; average cooling | Back sleepers; combo sleepers wanting stability |
| Beautyrest Silver BRS900 Medium 12" | 4.1 | Strong core support; reliable temperature management | Firmer shoulder feel for some side sleepers | Back/side sleepers wanting a steadier coil feel |
What stood out in testing?
Across the four, the clearest all-around performers were Dazzling Night and the BRS900. Both kept hips from dipping too far while still feeling comfortable when rolling onto the side. Blue Lagoon Nights delivered the steadiest, more traditional coil feel, but it didn’t cushion shoulders as well as the hybrid. Adoring Night had the softest first impression, yet it also showed the biggest compromises at the edges and with motion transfer. For heat, Marcus consistently preferred the models with cooler-to-the-touch covers and a steadier coil response.

How did we test these mattresses?
I set each mattress up on the same foundation, slept on it long enough to get past first-night impressions, and repeated the same routines: back sleeping for alignment, side sleeping for pressure relief, and frequent position changes to gauge responsiveness. Marcus focused on heat buildup, edge sitting, and motion transfer when one sleeper got up. Carlos tracked spinal alignment and how smoothly the comfort layers transitioned into the support core. Mia paid close attention to shoulder and hip pressure and whether the surface reset comfortably after turning.
Sears Mattress: Our Testing Experience
Serta Perfect Sleeper Dazzling Night 12" Hybrid Medium
Our Testing Experience
Right away, it had that hybrid settle-in feel—my hips sank just enough to relax my lower back, but I could still roll and reset without fighting slow foam. The zoned coil system mattered most when I moved from back to side: my midsection stayed lifted instead of drifting into a hammock. Marcus, who sleeps hotter than I do, noticed the cooler-to-the-touch cover immediately and reported less heat buildup than on the coil-only tight-tops. Carlos liked the handoff from foam to coils—there’s a clear point where the core takes over and keeps the middle of the bed level.
What we liked
-
Steady midsection support for back sleeping and casual lounging
-
Pressure relief without a deep, stuck-in-foam sink
-
Quick, predictable response for frequent position changes
Who it is best for
-
Combo sleepers who alternate between back and side
-
People who want lumbar steadiness without going extra-firm
-
Hot sleepers who still like a bit of foam contouring
Where it falls short
-
Motion isolation is solid for a hybrid, but not foam-quiet
-
Petite side sleepers may prefer a softer comfort layer at the shoulder
-
If you want a dead-quiet feel, the coils can seem slightly lively during turns
Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Balanced medium feel for most sleep positions | Not the most motion-dampening option in the group |
| Zoned coil support helps keep hips aligned | May feel a touch firm for very light side sleepers |
| Cool-to-the-touch cover with gel foams for steadier temperature | Coil response can feel lively if you prefer an all-foam style |

Serta Perfect Sleeper Adoring Night 10.5" Plush Tight Top
Our Testing Experience
Adoring Night was the easiest step-in bed of the four. When my lower back felt tight, the surface gave quickly and made it simpler to relax. Mia liked the softer start for side sleeping—especially at the shoulder—but we all noticed support felt best when we stayed centered. Carlos was impressed by how smoothly the comfort layers transitioned into the coil core for a 10.5-inch build, yet he still trusted the hybrid more for keeping the mid-back perfectly level overnight. Marcus flagged the perimeter right away: sitting to tie shoes compressed the edge more than the other models, and he naturally shifted inward to feel stable.
What we liked
-
Soft, welcoming feel the moment you lie down
-
Easy to turn and reposition without laggy foam
-
Gentle cushioning for lighter side sleepers at the shoulder and hip
Who it is best for
-
Lightweight to average-weight sleepers who want a plush-leaning start
-
Guest rooms where easy comfort matters more than edge strength
-
People who dislike the slow, sticky feel of dense memory foam
Where it falls short
-
Softest edge support in the group
-
Heavier sleepers may want a firmer, more resistant core
-
More motion carries across the surface than on the hybrid
Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Soft, inviting surface feel | Edge compresses more when sitting or getting up |
| Pressure relief felt friendlier at the shoulder | More motion transfer than the hybrid |
| Coil support keeps it from feeling overly mushy | Not the most confidence-inspiring choice for heavier bodies |

Serta Perfect Sleeper Blue Lagoon Nights 13.5" Medium Tight Top
Our Testing Experience
Blue Lagoon Nights was the most traditional coil feel in this lineup—steady, level, and less focused on a plush hug. On my back, it kept my lumbar area lifted and I woke up with less stiffness after long desk days. Carlos liked the consistency across the bed; his mid-back stayed calm because the surface didn’t sag when he fully relaxed. Mia could side-sleep on it, but she wanted more shoulder give than this tight-top offers, especially compared with the hybrid. Marcus’ edge-sit test was better than on Adoring Night: the perimeter felt more dependable and less prone to a slide-off sensation.
What we liked
-
Level, steady support that works well for back sleeping
-
Consistent feel across the surface with easy movement
-
More dependable edge sitting than the softer tight-top
Who it is best for
-
Back sleepers and combo sleepers who prefer a flatter feel
-
People who like a traditional coil response over a deep foam hug
-
Sleepers who want steadiness more than plush contouring
Where it falls short
-
Side sleepers who need deep shoulder contouring may prefer a hybrid
-
Motion isolation stays average for a coil-forward build
-
Cooling is adequate, but not a standout for hot sleepers
Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Steady support that helps maintain spinal alignment | Less contouring than a hybrid for side sleepers |
| Lumbar support band built into the design | Motion isolation remains average for coils |
| Familiar coil feel with easy repositioning | Cooling is fine, but not a cold-surface feel |

Beautyrest Silver BRS900 Medium 12"
Our Testing Experience
Compared with the Serta tight-tops, the BRS900 felt cleaner and more structured—there’s a firmer, more defined coil response under the comfort layers. On my back it kept my hips up without turning rigid, and the surface stayed even when I inched toward the edge to read. Marcus reported less heat buildup than on the warmer coil models, and the cover felt fresher at the start of the night. Mia could sleep on it, but she repeatedly wanted a touch more cushioning at the shoulder when she stayed on her side for long stretches. Carlos liked how the lumbar feature showed up as a gentle lift, not a pronounced bump.
What we liked
-
Strong core support with a steady, stable feel
-
More consistent temperature feel through the night
-
Good edge confidence for daily in-and-out use
Who it is best for
-
Back sleepers and combo sleepers who want steady support
-
People who prefer a cleaner, less plush surface
-
Hot sleepers who still like a classic coil feel
Where it falls short
-
Some side sleepers may want a softer top at the shoulder
-
Motion isolation is controlled, but not foam-level quiet
-
If you want a deep hug, a thicker hybrid will feel plusher
Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Pocketed coil system feels stable and supportive | Can feel a bit firm at the shoulder for lighter side sleepers |
| Cooling cover and foams help manage heat and moisture | Motion isolation is moderate, not exceptional |
| Lumbar gel memory foam support layer | Not the best match for people seeking deep contouring |

How did each mattress score?
| Mattress | Overall Score | Support | Pressure Relief | Cooling | Motion Isolation | Durability | Responsiveness |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Serta Perfect Sleeper Dazzling Night 12" Hybrid Medium | 4.2 | 4.4 | 4.3 | 4.1 | 4.0 | 4.1 | 4.3 |
| Serta Perfect Sleeper Adoring Night 10.5" Plush Tight Top | 3.8 | 3.9 | 4.0 | 3.8 | 3.6 | 3.7 | 3.9 |
| Serta Perfect Sleeper Blue Lagoon Nights 13.5" Medium Tight Top | 3.9 | 4.1 | 4.1 | 3.9 | 3.7 | 3.9 | 3.9 |
| Beautyrest Silver BRS900 Medium 12" | 4.1 | 4.3 | 4.1 | 4.1 | 3.8 | 4.2 | 4.0 |
Looking at the scores, Dazzling Night is the most balanced across the board, with small advantages in support and ease of movement. BRS900 is close behind and reads as the sturdier build, especially on durability and edge confidence. Blue Lagoon Nights is a good match if you want a level, traditional coil feel more than deep contouring. Adoring Night is the softest on first contact, but the numbers reflect the same trade-offs we felt—more motion transfer and the least stable edge.
How do you choose the right Sears mattress?
Start with your sleep position and how much support you need through the hips. Then match the feel you prefer—more contouring (hybrid) or a flatter, traditional coil surface.
-
Choose Dazzling Night if you want the most balanced feel for mixed sleeping positions.
-
Pick BRS900 if you prefer a steadier coil feel with reliable temperature control.
-
Go with Blue Lagoon Nights if you’re mostly a back sleeper and want a flatter, more traditional surface.
-
Consider Adoring Night if you’re lightweight and want the softest first contact—just expect the weakest edge support.
Where these mattresses fall short
The shared downside is that coil-forward builds won’t quiet movement the way dense all-foam beds can, and none of these are designed for a deep, plush sink. Adoring Night has the softest edges and can feel underbuilt for heavier sleepers. Blue Lagoon Nights may feel a bit firm at the shoulder for side sleepers. BRS900’s steadier surface can read slightly firm for petite sleepers with high pressure sensitivity.
Sears mattresses vs. common alternatives
Why choose these models
-
You want familiar, coil-supported comfort that feels easy to live with day to day
-
You prefer an easier-to-move-on surface than many all-foam beds
-
You want options that prioritize alignment and steadier hip support
Alternatives to consider
-
Saatva Classic: stronger edge reinforcement and a buoyant, hotel-like spring feel
-
Helix Midnight: more contouring for side sleepers who need extra shoulder cushioning
-
DreamCloud Hybrid: a softer top with more noticeable cushioning for pressure-sensitive sleepers
Pro tips for shopping Sears mattresses
-
Give each mattress at least a full week before judging it—your body often needs a few nights to adjust.
-
If you sleep hot, use breathable sheets and a thin protector so cooling layers can do their job.
-
For hybrids and coils, use a stable foundation; a flexy base can exaggerate softness and motion.
-
If you sit on the edge every day (shoes, reading), prioritize the models that felt more perimeter-stable in testing.
-
Side sleepers with shoulder pressure should pair a medium mattress with a pillow that keeps the neck level.
-
Rotate the mattress on a consistent schedule if the model allows it to help keep wear even.
-
If you feel stuck, skip thick toppers and use smoother bedding so the surface stays responsive.
-
Couples should pay attention to motion during normal routines (getting up, turning, sitting) before committing to a coil-forward feel.
-
If your lower back feels tight, prioritize steadier midsection support first, then fine-tune softness with bedding.
