The Serta Five Star 10" Plush Pillow Top features a quilted pillow top surface over PillowSoft Aire Foam and Serta PillowSoft Foam comfort layers. The individually-wrapped coil core includes a gel foam band positioned in the lumbar and hip zone for targeted 3-zone support. A breathable cover fabric regulates temperature across the sleep surface.

Cover: Breathable fabric helps you sleep cool and wake refreshed.

Pillow Top: Quilted plush layer for deep shoulder and hip cushioning.

Comfort Layers: PillowSoft Aire Foam for airflow + Serta PillowSoft Foam for contouring.

Support Core: Individually-wrapped coils with 3-zone gel foam lumbar band.

Setup: Unbox and unroll on your foundation or platform bed. Allow 24-48 hours for full expansion to 10 inches.

Care: Use a mattress protector. Rotate head-to-foot every 3-6 months. Do not fold or bend. Spot clean with mild detergent.

How long does a bed in a box take to expand?
The Serta Five Star 10" expands to its full height within hours of unboxing. You can sleep on it the same night. Allow 24-48 hours for the foam layers to reach maximum firmness and for any packaging odor to clear.

Is a 10-inch mattress thick enough for side sleepers?
Yes. The 10-inch profile provides sufficient depth for the pillow top, gel foam band, and coil system to deliver full pressure relief at the shoulders and hips. Heavier individuals who want additional depth should consider the 12" or 14" Five Star models.

What foundation works with this mattress in a box?
Place on a platform bed, a slatted frame with slats under 3 inches apart, or a Serta mattress foundation. A box spring is compatible but not required. Do not place directly on the floor as this restricts airflow.

What makes the gel foam band different from standard foam?
The gel foam band is positioned specifically in the lumbar and hip zone to provide firmer targeted support where your body is heaviest. Standard foam layers sit uniformly across the mattress without zone-specific reinforcement.
