YOUR SLEEP. YOUR SUPPORT. YOUR CHOICE.Explore Serta & Lylax

The Bed Studio approach

Understand Our Support First™ System

Four connected pillars explain how a mattress is engineered, how it feels and how it works as a whole. Together, they give you a clearer way to choose.

01Support First™EngineeringUnderstand what supports you.Understand how the support core responds to your body.Explore engineering

We study how spring, foam and fibre support cores are built and how they respond to your body. This guides the support systems we select and develop.

Think of a chair: the cushion shapes how it feels, while the structure helps determine how it carries you. Softness is only part of the picture.

02Support First™Calibrated FeelFeel tuned to work with support.Feel layers chosen to work with the support system beneath them.Explore calibrated feel

We choose and combine feel layers to work with the engineered support system beneath them. We consider the materials, thickness and how the layers respond together. This makes feel part of the complete mattress design.

Think of a car: its seats and suspension work together to shape the ride. Softer seats alone don’t tell you how the whole journey will feel.

03Support First™ArchitectureEvery component. One complete design.Support, feel, airflow, hygiene and durability brought into one design.Explore architecture

Engineering, calibrated feel, airflow, hygiene and durability work together to shape overall comfort. Different materials and layers create different mattress designs and prices. We explain what each design offers and why.

Think of a home: its structure, interiors and ventilation all shape the experience of living there. The complete design matters more than any one feature.

04Support First™MethodologyWe do the thinking. You choose with clarity.A simpler way to buy, with only the choices that apply to your mattress.Explore methodology

We explain the thinking behind each mattress to make choosing easier. Start with your support options, then choose your mattress. Select a feel where offered, followed by your size and configuration. At each step, we explain only the choices that apply.

Think of a navigation app: it weighs the routes, distances and traffic for you, then shows the options that make sense. You still choose the journey, without having to study every map.

Once You Understand Support First™, Choosing Becomes Easier.

Look beyond Firm, Medium and Plush labels. Understand the support system, see how the layers work together and choose the feel you prefer.

Recommendation LevelWe Do Not RecommendRecommendedRecommendedRecommendedHighly RecommendedOur Highest Recommendation

Why we don’t recommend foam or fibre as a core: they make good comfort layers, but as a support core they compress under pressure, retain heat and fatigue faster than a spring system.

A qualitative comparison of support-system design, assuming comparable mattress quality. Comfort layers, materials and overall construction also influence real-world performance. “Recommended” reflects the Support-First philosophy, not a judgement of any individual mattress.

Serta · Best of Both™

Best of Both™Where Our Support First™ Journey Began

Best of Both™ puts Support First™ into practice. It combines MiraCoil® and Pocket Coil in one support system, with calibrated feel layers designed to complement that foundation. Together, these elements form one complete mattress design.

Best of Both™ comes with one calibrated feel, making your choice simpler.

Two spring technologies. One integrated design. One calibrated feel.

Serta mattress in a bedroom

Support First™ by Serta

Choose your support. Personalise your surface feel.

Start with the support system at the heart of your mattress.

Personalise your surface feel

Our feel is calibrated. Your preference is personal. That’s why Serta lets you choose Firm, Medium or Plush.

Each option is calibrated to work with the selected mattress design. Firm, Medium and Plush describe surface feel, not levels of support or quality.

Feel is personal.
The same mattress can feel different to two people. Choose the surface sensation you prefer, knowing that each feel has been considered as part of the complete design.

Best of Both™ comes with one calibrated feel. No separate Firm, Medium or Plush selection.

Lylax mattress in a bedroom

Support First™ by Lylax

Choose Your Support. The Feel Is Calibrated.

Every Lylax mattress has a calibrated feel designed to work with its support core and complete construction. There is no Firm, Medium or Plush decision to make.

Calibrated FeelOne calibrated feel for each design.

What does Calibrated Feel mean?

Feel is how your mattress greets you. Calibration is how we make it work with your support.

We select the materials, thickness and arrangement of the feel layers to complement the engineered support system. Each is considered as part of the complete mattress.

Both Lylax and Serta use this principle. Lylax offers one calibrated feel per design. Selected Serta ranges let you personalise that surface feel with Firm, Medium or Plush options. Best of Both™ offers one calibrated feel.

Feel is subjective. Thoughtful design brings it together.

Two people can experience the same mattress differently. Think of premium hospitality: one mattress design serves guests with many different preferences. Our aim is a carefully balanced feel that appeals to a wide range of people.
