Our take on the Serta Five Star Medium Mattress in a Box

The Serta Five Star is a bed-in-a-box mattress sold in innerspring and gel memory foam versions, with a pillowtop feel and 8-inch or 12-inch profiles. It ships compressed and works on adjustable bases, and comes in six sizes from Twin to California King. At $164.99 at eBay as of November 6, 2026, the best new price sits at the low end of what this line typically sells for, well under what most queen-size hybrids cost.

Questions and answers

Is the Serta Five Star worth it?
At $164.99 at eBay as of November 6, 2026, it is one of the cheapest name-brand mattresses you can buy. It suits guest rooms and tight budgets more than nightly use by heavy sleepers.
What is the difference between the innerspring and gel memory foam versions?
The innerspring version uses coils with a pillowtop for a bouncier feel. The gel memory foam version is all-foam and conforms more, with less motion transfer.
