The Serta iComfort Aveda 12" is the better choice only if you have a strong preference for that brand's specific feel or design.
Layla Memory Foam vs Serta iComfort Aveda 12": What Actually Differs
The Layla Memory Foam is a foam build, while the Serta iComfort Aveda 12" is a memory foam — that single difference drives most of the cooling, motion, and feel decisions below.

On a Queen, the Layla Memory Foam runs $449 versus $1,499 for the Serta iComfort Aveda 12" — roughly $1,050 (70%) less, which is enough to factor into the decision unless the pricier model wins clearly on the specs you care about.
