We purchased the Estate medium firm which we tested in the store. This is our third Sterns and Foster mattress but this new design is awful. As soon as it arrived we called the store thinking, despite the label, they had sent us the firm in error as the bed was very hard. We were told it needed time for the top to release. It's now been just over a year, it is still very hard and has developed deep body wells and I now have spinal back pain. We rotate this mattress monthly and even rotate a quarter turn sleeping on it cross-wise. We have had an expert inspect it and the result is the wear is “normal” so there is nothing we can do. We are looking for alternatives and will need to donate a near-brand-new mattress to find comfort. We are so disappointed.

This mattress is very comfortable. The problem I have is it is supposed to be to be 16”. I bought sheets for this. They did not fit properly. I have since discovered the bed is actually 14”. I feel cheated because it is not what it was suppose to be. I could understand if it was 1/4” off, but not 2”. Which makes me say don't trust Stearns and Foster!

My father used to own a furniture store years ago in Portland OR. He swore by Sterns and Foster mattresses. He gave us our first S and F mattress as a married couple and we used that mattress for many years before needing a new one. I will likely pass away before I ever need another new one. The mattress I selected is half way between medium and firm and perfect for a senior like me who was used to a firm mattress. I don't like to sink into a too soft mattress as it makes my arms go to sleep whereas a medium firm one is just right (said Mama Bear to Papa Bear, Baby Bear and Goldilocks).

The first night did not go good, it was so firm, so I call and talk to Alex , ask if y’all sold topper to put on the mattress, he said no, and that I did not need that, the reason it's so firm , is cause it's new and you need to walk on it a little or have someone to do it for you, and it well get loosing up and be a lot better and keep getting better, so I said ok and I gave it a message with my hands, and it did loosen up, and it has gotten a lot better and I really like it and yes I do recommend it. It’s very well made. I’m having no issues with it being to firm, it seems each night gets a litter better. Enjoying it.

We love this mattress. After changing 3 different mattresses we finally found the one that we can sleep without waking up in pain. We have the soft tight top. I am really surprised this is the definition of soft, but the mattress feels really comfortable yet very stable.

I have been sleeping well for 65 years on Stearns and Foster mattresses, and this year, 2026, was a time for an upgrade. The first mattress was purchased by my fiancé and me at Fair Mercantile in St. Louis, Missouri. We bought a canopy bed frame to accompany the mattress and box springs. We were stylin’, let me tell you! After a few years it was time to purchase beds for children and Stearns and Foster was our choice. In early 1990 we were ready to refresh our bedding.,we purchased, you guessed it, Stearns and Foster at Robb and Stuckey in Orlando, where we now lived. We have been always, so happy with firm and supportive bedding. Come to 2026, and I received the Consumer Report issue of mattress and bedding “picks”. I studied and shopped for almost two months for new bedding, and in the process came back to Stearns and Foster! There are many more choices in bedding today than years ago, to be sure, but the endgame for me was/is the names Stearns and Foster, plus the association with Tempurpedic. I ordered the Estate Pillow Top Firm Queen and the Ease frame. In two months now, I can fall asleep in five minutes and sleep well all night! No surprise there, as that’s always the way sleeping on a Stearns and Foster mattress has been, since 1960! The Ease frame was a new choice, and the fact that I have an acid reflux issue made the decision a wise one. I am faring well with the adjustable head of bed. Thank you for your quality products for 180 years! Barbara Astle Chambers

The first night on a new mattress is always a little odd. I was pleasantly surprised. I fell asleep fast and had significantly less pain upon arising. That's only night one. Can't wait to go back to bed tonight!

Simply the best! We decided to replace our mattress after 8 years. The quality is exceptional. With having lower back surgery, this product has made a difference. Thanks again Sterns and Foster for the quality!

I've only had it a week and it feels like it's sunken in quite a bit on the side I sleep on compared to the other side. My other Stearns & Foster was firm for a long time.

This was my first real grown-up bed purchase and after ~40 days I'm very happy with it. I was a little nervous as it was incredibly firm when it arrived. However, after breaking it in for a few weeks it's much better. Regardless, even when it was firmer then I anticipated I still slept so much better then my old bed. I sleep much deeper with this mattress and feel more rested which has made need to sleep fewer hours. This is an expensive mattress but so far it's worth it. My only complaint is that one of the handles tore the first day I got it.
