Hi there, thanks for your kind words! This is a great question and there are quite a few differences between these two models, both in their construction and in their "3 F's" (fit, feel, and features). Fortunately, we've just built a tool to answer questions exactly like this. Here is a complete summary of how they compare: www.goodbed.com/compare/?mod=serta-icomfort-foam-enhanced-aspire-plush&mod=serta-icomfort-pro-level-3-canterbury-plush I hope that's helpful!
Great video again! It seems the popular trend is to use a one-size-fits-all zoned support system systems with coils or foam/latex. While I can see a real or substantiated difference with coils for zoned supports. It’s not believable to me that taking the same firmness sheet of latex putting bigger or smaller perforated holes is not going to create a measurable meaningful support/pressure relief benefit to the vast majority of sleepers. Using different firmnesses of latex is what should have been done. The larger the perforated holes the greater loss of longevity and integrity of foams. Love seeing latex in such a larger well-known brand. Great job!
Thanks so much for the kind words! And we do appreciate your skepticism - it's very reasonable to be somewhat skeptical of manufacturer's claims about their products. Although in the case of the latex, we do think this creates a noticeable difference in firmness. Perhaps we can revisit this at some point in the future and show it in a different style to communicate this a bit more. Thanks for the feedback!
Would have loved to know the density of the foam core base which I think is important to know to assess durability. As to longevity of the latex, this series is using all dunlop which provides better longevity overall over the talalay latex. Serta is using varying hole size to create the varying firmness/softness of the product. Does the larger holes impact the dunlop's durability superiority? Hmmm. Also, dunlop cost less because it is less processed than the talalay; it is not inferior to the talalay. It is firmer, however.
Hi there -- Thanks for your question. You're correct that Serta has not provided this info. FWIW, my guess is that they're using a 1.8 lb foam core on Level 1 and Level 2 - at least for the firm and medium models. And of course, the Level 3 models are using a Dunlop latex core. In terms of the question about how the pincore holes could affect durability, this is an interesting one that we've considered. For me, it's a small open question, but overall I don't have any any meaningful concerns on this front. As you probably know, all latex used in mattresses has pincore holes. In Serta's pattern, the firmer zones have far less 'empty space' than standard latex, while the the softer zones have more. But even in the softer zones, I don't think it is nearly a big enough incremental difference from the standard pincore hole configuration to offset the proven durability characteristics of Dunlop latex. In terms of the rest of your comment, I confess I can't quite tell if you're asking or telling, but if you had other questions, just let us know. I hope that's helpful.
Hi there, I'm not sure what kind of response you are expecting. While we certainly always appreciate feedback from our readers, the reality is that we are always going to perform our product testing wherever we can collect the best information on the products. And from there, we will film the resulting review wherever it's most convenient from a business standpoint. In many cases, the tests themselves happen in our mattress testing lab. This lab is located at Dow (the Fortune 100 company who is our partner in the GoodBed testing program), and is staffed by a team of scientists and PhD's. In this setting, I can assure you that the things we are able to directly measure, and the accuracy with which we are able to do it, are FAR better than anyone could possibly do in their home. Another consideration is how many mattresses we are trying to show in one video. For example, in this video, we covered all 8 different models in this product line and explained exactly how each of them compares. I'm not sure what your home looks like, but personally I don't have a space in mine where I could test and display 8 different mattresses at once. And that's to say nothing of what my wife would say if she ever came home and found I had brought 8 extra mattresses into the house at once. 😂 I hope that's helpful.
Amazing work
Love your channel. What’s the difference between iComfort Aspire Plush and iComfortPro Canterbury Plush Mattress?
