TL;DR
- The Naturepedic Serenade mattress uses organic cotton, wool, and PLA for its quilted top layer.
- It features a 2-in organic latex comfort layer and an 8-in enclosed coil spring layer, avoiding chemical glues.
- The firm version tested offers a good combination of support and cushioning, suitable for back sleepers.
- The mattress sleeps cool, effectively dispersing body heat and moisture.
- A significant drawback is the noticeable motion transfer, where movement on one side is felt on the other.
- The mattress is also described as bouncy, which can affect edge support and sleep disturbance.
- It's eco-friendly, with Naturepedic working with a company to donate or recycle returned mattresses.
- The mattress is heavy (550lbs) and comes vacuum-packed, offering a slight cotton odor upon unpacking.
- It comes with a 25-year warranty, though full replacement is only guaranteed for the first 10 years.
