The honest verdict: the Fountains Plush Pillow Top 16" is the deep-comfort flagship of Serta's Perfect Morning line: the same 825-coil, 16-inch build as the Fountains Medium, tuned soft. Around a 3 out of 10, it is the bed for the side sleeper who wants to feel embraced and still wake with a straight back, because under all that cushion sits the strongest coil chassis in the line plus a zoned lumbar band that refuses to let you sag. If the Elmbrook is the smart buy, this is the full experience: more coils, more cooling, more bed.
What the flagship build gets you
- A deep plush pillow top. Built for those who want to feel embraced: soothing, restorative cushion at the surface without losing the support underneath.
- 825-density wrapped coils with BestEdge encasement. The line's strongest chassis. Each coil is pocketed and flexes alone, contouring and cradling while it minimizes motion transfer, with a reinforced foam rail keeping the perimeter firm.
- CoolTemp fabric with doubled cooling yarns. Twice the cooling yarns of the standard Perfect Morning panel. Deep plush usually means deep heat; this cover is the antidote, cool on contact.
- CoolTwist gel memory foam. Cooling gel swirled through memory foam: the pressure-point contour a plush bed promises, minus the stored warmth.
- PillowSoft Aire HD foam. High-density rippled comfort foam that cushions generously while still moving air through the pillow top.
- A gel memory foam lumbar band. Zoned reinforcement under the lumbar and hips, the discipline that separates a plush bed that supports from a plush bed that swallows.
- 16 inches tall with CertiPUR-US certified foams, made in the USA with global components, and a 10-year limited warranty.
What it feels like
The embrace happens in stages. The cool cover meets you first, then the pillow top takes your shoulder and hip in, then the gel memory foam fills in the outline, and finally the 825 coils catch everything and hold it level. It is a deep settle with a floor under it. Roll over and the bed stays silent, one coil at a time. In a cool room the foams start slightly firmer and relax as they warm, standard memory-foam behavior worth knowing on the first night.
Who it is not for
- Stomach sleepers. A 3-out-of-10 surface lets hips settle deeper than face-down sleeping tolerates. The Fountains Medium is the same bed holding you flat.
- Sleepers who feel trapped by soft beds. A deep pillow top is an embrace. If you would rather sleep on your bed than in it, go Medium, or springier still, the Cascade Canyon.
- Strict budgets. The Elmbrook Plush 15" delivers the same plush pillow-top recipe with 805 coils for $200 less in queen. Sleep cool or want the strongest chassis? Stay here. Otherwise the Elmbrook is honest value.
Plush or Medium: let your side decide
Both Fountains are the identical flagship build at $999 in queen, so the only question is your spine's. Side sleepers and cradle-seekers belong on this Plush; back, stomach, and combination sleepers belong on the Medium. Couples split down the middle should lie on both and negotiate from data, five showroom minutes each.

What makes this mattress different
The deep-comfort flagship (3/10)
Built for those who want to feel embraced: a deep plush pillow top with soothing, restorative cushion that never loses the support underneath.
825 wrapped coils, the line's strongest
The highest coil density in the Perfect Morning line catches the deep settle and holds it level, one pocketed coil at a time.
Doubled cooling yarns
Deep plush usually sleeps warm; the Fountains cover fights back with 2x the cooling yarns of the standard Perfect Morning panel, cool on contact.
CoolTwist gel memory foam
Gel swirled through memory foam contours to shoulder and hip while carrying heat out of the cushion.
Zoned gel lumbar band
Reinforcement under the lumbar and hips keeps a 3-out-of-10 surface from ever becoming a hammock.
Quiet for couples
Individually wrapped coils absorb a partner's movement before it crosses the bed, and the BestEdge rail keeps the full width usable.
A 16-inch certified build
CertiPUR-US certified foams, made in the USA with global components, and a 10-year limited warranty.
Any base, including adjustable
Box spring, platform, slats, or adjustable base: raise your head or feet and the pocketed coils flex right along.
The flagship chassis, tuned for the deepest comfortable settle
From the top down: the CoolTemp panel with doubled cooling yarns, then a plush pillow-top crown carrying PillowSoft Aire HD, the high-density rippled foam that cushions generously while moving air. CoolTwist gel memory foam follows, swirling cooling gel through the contour layer that shapes to your shoulder and hip, and a gel memory foam lumbar band reinforces the middle third of the bed so the deep surface cannot sag where your weight concentrates. A support foam layer transitions onto the chassis.
The chassis is the same 825-density wrapped-coil unit as the Fountains Medium, the strongest in the Perfect Morning line, inside a BestEdge foam encasement. Pocketed coils compress independently: your side of the bed shapes to you, your partner's side stays still, and the perimeter holds firm for sitting and edge sleeping. The finished build stands 16 inches, uses CertiPUR-US certified foams, and is made in the USA with global components under a 10-year limited warranty.
Prefer the same build holding you level instead of cradling you deep? That is the Fountains Medium Pillow Top 16", at the same price.

Side sleepers, this is the deepest comfortable cradle in the Perfect Morning line: the pillow top and gel memory foam give your shoulder and hip real room while the lumbar band and 825 coils keep your spine straight. If you have been rotating your arm awake on a firmer bed, start here.
Hot sleepers who love plush: normally an impossible combination. The doubled cooling yarns, gel-swirled memory foam, and venting coil core make this the coolest deep-plush option on the Mattress Overstock floor.
Couples with a restless partner: the wrapped coils absorb movement coil by coil, so the deep comfort on your side does not broadcast every turn to theirs.
Sleepers stepping up from the Elmbrook class: more coil density, more cooling, more height. If you sized up your budget, this is what the extra money actually buys.
Adjustable-base owners: the pocketed-coil build flexes cleanly for reading and zero-gravity positions without stressing the pillow top.
Probably not for you if you sleep on your stomach, you dislike the embraced feeling of a deep pillow top, or you want maximum value per dollar over maximum comfort. The Fountains Medium handles the first two; the Elmbrook Plush answers the third.

Frequently asked questions
How soft is the Serta Fountains Plush Pillow Top 16"?
A genuine deep plush, about a 3 out of 10 where 10 is firmest. You settle into the pillow top rather than resting on it, while the zoned lumbar band and 825 wrapped coils keep the softness supported. Memory foam layers start slightly firmer in a cool room and relax as they warm.
What is the difference between the Fountains Plush and the Fountains Medium?
Feel only. Both are the identical 16-inch, 825-coil flagship build at the same price. This Plush deepens the surface into a side-sleeper cradle; the Medium holds you level for back, stomach, and combination sleeping. Lie on both in a showroom and the decision makes itself.
How is it better than the Elmbrook Plush at $200 less?
Three concrete upgrades: 825 coil density versus 805 for a stronger, longer-lived chassis; doubled cooling yarns in the cover versus the standard panel; and PillowSoft Aire HD foam plus an extra inch of height. The Elmbrook is the value pick; this is the full experience. Both are honest choices.
What is inside it?
Top down: a CoolTemp panel with doubled cooling yarns, a plush pillow top with PillowSoft Aire HD foam, CoolTwist gel memory foam, a zoned gel memory foam lumbar band, a support foam layer, and an 825-density unit of individually wrapped coils in a BestEdge foam encasement. The finished height is 16 inches.
Do plush pillow tops sleep hot?
Most do; this one is engineered not to. The Fountains cover carries twice the cooling yarns of the standard Perfect Morning panel, the CoolTwist layer pulls heat through its gel channels, and the coil core vents it away. It is the coolest deep-plush bed on the Mattress Overstock floor.
Will my partner feel me move?
Barely. Each of the 825 coils is individually pocketed and compresses alone, so movement fades within inches instead of rippling across. The BestEdge perimeter also keeps the edges fully sleepable, giving two people the mattress's whole width.
How tall is it, and what does that mean practically?
16 inches, the tallest profile in the Perfect Morning line. Budget for extra-deep-pocket sheets and check your frame height: on a standard foundation the surface sits high. Test getting in and out at the showroom if you or a partner are shorter.
Does it work with an adjustable base?
Yes. The pocketed-coil construction flexes cleanly on adjustable bases, and it also works on box springs, platforms, and slatted frames. The 10-year limited warranty stays intact either way.
What if it turns out too soft for me?
That is what the 120-day comfort guarantee is for: exchange it for store credit toward any bed of equal or greater value, like the Fountains Medium, paying only the difference if any. No cash refund, no restocking-fee games. Give it about three weeks of nights before deciding; a pillow top needs the break-in.
