Serta Torrey Firm Review
The Serta Torrey Firm forms the firm feel version in the Serta Torrey range. It is a reasonably priced innerspring mattress.
Purchase and delivery
This mattress can be ordered online through the Forty Winks website. It can also be purchased through any of Forty Winks’ stores across Australia.
Delivery is available Australia-wide but delivery fees (and times) do vary. Online delivery fees are based on your location from the nearest store, and delivery times will depend on stock availability. For more details, see our ‘Delivery’ section below.
From an aesthetic point of view, the Serta Torrey Firm has a rather dated design. It sits 26 cm high and uses a white, brown, and cream colour theme.
Comfort and support
The top comfort layer of this mattress includes a soft fabric cover and various layers of comfort foams. This top section feels offers only modest pressure relief, and will likely be too firm for many.
This mattress should suit back sleepers, but this suitability will vary between individuals.
We rated the Serta Torrey Firm as a ‘firm’ feel and an 8.5 / 10 on the firmness scale. Please note that our firmness ratings are just a guide and they do not necessarily relate to comfort. Furthermore, our firmness ratings are assigned based on Bedbuyer’s testing process and these may differ from firmness ratings given by individual companies.
The support structure used in the Serta Torrey Firm is a pocket spring system that feels relatively stable and balanced. It should offer good support for most but it doesn’t isolate motion particularly well. Therefore, partner disturbance may be an issue, but this will vary depending on the size of the occupants of the bed.
The Serta Torrey Firm responds fairly well to normal sleep movements and we rated its level of responsiveness in the optimal zone. In basic terms, this means that changing sleep positions (and intimate activities) shouldn’t be any trouble.
Please note that our responsiveness scales are just a guide and preferred responsiveness levels will vary between individuals. It’s worth noting also that innerspring mattresses are generally more responsive than foam mattresses.
The finer details
In terms of build quality and craftsmanship, the Serta Torrey Firm is reasonable in context of its price. Edge support is decent, so most people should be able to use the full surface of the mattress.
The lack of side handles is disappointing, and this will make it more difficult to carry and rotate the mattress.
It’s worth noting here that this mattress has a 10 year warranty.
What bed base should I use?
As with most mattresses, we recommend the Serta Torrey Firm to be used with a solid bed frame (such as the Sleep Republic Pro Base), or a solid ensemble base (with the slats no longer than 8 cm apart).
A bed frame (with flexible slats) may still be adequate, but again, we strongly recommend that the distance between each slat is less than 8 cm. Use of an unsupportive mattress foundation will usually void the mattress warranty.
Sleep Republic Pro Base
Furthermore, we do not recommend the Serta Torrey Firm to be used with an adjustable (electric) bed base as this will also void the warranty. Here is our full list of mattresses that are compatible with an adjustable bed base.
It’s worth noting here that mattress firmness, performance, and durability will vary with different bed bases.
Available sizes
The Serta Torrey Firm is available in 6 sizes (king, queen, double, king single, long single, and single) so it should suit all sleeping arrangements.

Final verdict
The Serta Torrey Firm is a respectable firm mattress but it does lack the refinement of others in this price category.
