In the box, it's pretty heavy. I'm a 60 yr old woman with good strength and I did this solo. It was 2 tries to lift it onto the foundation. Serta includes an envelope slicer to help with plastic outer layer and the mattress encasement. There are several layers of shrink wrap around the outside. Find the edge and position at the head of the bed and unroll from the bottom toward the foot of the bed. The mattress will begin expanding one the shrink wrap is loosened. Remove the shrink wrap or cut all 4 sides of the encasement and pull shrink wrap and encasement down from the head of the bed to the foot of the bed, then off. There is plenty of room on all 4 sides of the encasement, so no worries about nicking the mattress. I'll sleep on it tonight after 12 hrs of leaving it alone. 2nd review in 1 month for sleeping comfort.

After a couple months my first mattress loosened at the top fabric and made this roll the mattress top layer did,t stay uniform and flat so I exchanged it out now the second one has done the same thing I'll be returning this mattress because it's just not worth the money if it can't stay smooth and flat to sleep on. I'm the only one sleeping in bed and I'm small so this mattress shouldn't do this.

We bought a queen-sized version of this mattress at Sam's Club because we liked how the box had wheels and could roll it out to the car. It looks nice with a quilted pillowtop but unfortunately it is lipstick on the pig. The mattress starts out great but quickly deteriorates after a short 2-3 years which is ridiculous for this price point. The pillowtop has now shifted and has blown out the sides. One side is so bad that it sticks out and interferes with walking by and/or getting into the bed. We would take it back to Sam's Club but have no way to transport it so we'll just warn others to stay away from this mattress. This is not the first run-in with the formly legendary Serta brand and it appears they have not just outsourced their manufacturing but their quality as well. 1/5 stars for these reasons.

I'm very happy with this mattress. It is very comfortable.

Edges are a little soft, could be stiffer. Very good for a side sleeper.

edge of mattress not as firm but once laying on mattress Love the firmness

Exactly what I expected. Medium firmness

Great comfort & great value!

This is our second Serta Box set we have purchased and it is great!

For the price, this was an incredibly comfortable bed.
