I wish I knew how heavy this mattress was going to be, we have a difficult time tucking in the sheets and blanket. Our old mattress did not sag in the middle, I have to work myself to the side with this one. I also wake up in the middle of the night now since we bought this mattress with pain in my hands, I've tried changing pillows but it doesn't make a difference. Turning the mattress is a real chore. I did not read reviews before buying.

From the perspective of someone with chronic lumbar back issues After years of wrestling with lower‑back pain and waking up feeling like I’d slept on a crooked park bench, I finally decided to invest in the Stearns & Foster Estate Firm mattress. I went into it cautiously—firm mattresses can be hit or miss when you have lumbar problems—but after several weeks of sleeping on it, I’m genuinely impressed. Comfort & Support The standout feature is the lumbar support. The mattress has a firm, stable surface that doesn’t sag or let your hips sink too deeply, which is crucial for keeping the spine aligned. I noticed within the first few nights that I wasn’t waking up with that familiar tightness in my lower back. The support feels intentional rather than just “hard,” which is a big difference. Pressure Relief Even though it’s firm, it isn’t rigid. The top layers have enough cushioning to relieve pressure around the hips and shoulders without compromising the support underneath. For someone who alternates between back and side sleeping, this balance matters more than I realized. Build Quality Stearns & Foster is known for craftsmanship, and it shows. The mattress feels substantial and well‑constructed, with no edge collapse when sitting or lying near the sides. It has that luxury‑hotel sturdiness that makes you feel like it’s going to last. Temperature I tend to sleep warm, and this mattress has stayed comfortably neutral. No overheating, no waking up sweaty—just a consistent, cool sleep surface. Overall Experience For the first time in a long time, I’m waking up without that dull lumbar ache. The Estate Firm strikes a sweet spot: supportive enough to keep my spine aligned, but cushioned enough to feel comfortable rather than punishing. If you have lower‑back issues and prefer a firm, stable sleep surface, this mattress is absolutely worth considering.

Been shopping for new mattress for a while, finally found one I don’t sink into and supports me! I wake up feeling refreshed with no pain. Love my new mattress! It’s so pretty and well made too! Well worth the money! Great delivery and set up! Wonderful experience all around! So happy!

We purchased a King-size Stearns & Foster Estate Collection mattress (medium firmness) last year, and unfortunately, it has been a major disappointment. We sink in much more than expected and can actually feel the steel coils through the mattress, which makes it very uncomfortable to sleep on. This is the worst mattress we have ever owned, and we would not recommend it.

My Stearns and Foster PT soft is pure comfort that removes the day's stress from my body, and makes me happy that I found such a high quality mattress. Starting on the first night's sleep I felt my pain easing, and by the end of the week, was back to myself again and very grateful for my Stearns and Foster Pillowtop soft. I walked into a store showroom in a lot of pain (shoulder, neck, and back) caused by another manufacturer's mattress over the past eight months being told it "was part of the adjustment period". I've never even developed this kind of pain from being active at the gym lifting weights, swimming, and biking. Last month I went into a furniture store looking to replace this other mattress, but lacking confidence that I could find it. I'm thankful for the saleswoman who encouraged me to expand my options and consider the Stearns and Foster mattresses. My immediate reaction was, "my friend's mom has one and it's a super-expensive high quality mattress that's out of my price point". I was pleasantly surprised that the Estate mattress was in my price point. The quality was immediately evident. I'm super grateful for Stearns and Foster making such a high quality product that has restored my well-being! My future mattress purchases will always be Stearns and Foster, and I'm sharing this information with family and friends to help them as well! Thank you so much to being committed to good health and quality, Stearns and Foster!

We slept on the mattress at a vacation condo we rented and found it so comfortable that we ordered two one for our room and one for our guest room. We have a lot of family members who like to visit, and have received so many compliments on how well they slept at our house.

I wish I could send a picture to show how bad blue cheap material looks just after a few months of regular use. It looks awful! My old twenty years old mattress looked better when I decided to replace it! It looks bad like an old cheap pullover and they call it “ lux” ? Don ‘t be fooled by how pretty it looks in the store. Buy a different brand with real quality material that lasts for years.

Compared to my first sterns and foster mattress this is a much lower quality. I've tried to give it a few months to get used to it but if anything my disappointment grows. It has very noticeable soft and firm areas.. It almost feels like I can feel the springs in a few spots. I really regret buying it and wish I had my old sterns mattress back.

We bought a firm mattress about three years ago and it was terribly firm. Too firm on our backs. We thought we would just get accustomed to it but it didn’t get any better so we decided to go to another store and see if we could just get another less firm mattress. Yes, we should have gone back to the original store (2 hours away) and see what could be done as far as an exchange or such but being busy retired people, we just didn’t do that. Having gone to a local store here, we were greeted by a very helpful salesman who guided us in purchasing a new mattress top. We received the mattress yesterday and slept on it last night. We noticed a great change in comfort for us. I would definitely select the Stearns and Foster brand and make sure to try them out.

I needed to get out of pain (both sides of my neck, shoulders, upper back) after trying to sleep for 8 months on another manufacturer's mattress. I had been to the chiropractor, too. When I tried the Stearns & Foster at the store, I just knew it was the right one. I had no doubt. Every night for the last week my pain has dissipated more and more because of my Stearns and Foster mattress. I'm just so happy that I can finally sleep all night and not wake up after a few hours with pain. The quality is wonderful and makes me happy when I'm changing sheets and seeing how well-crafted this is. This is the only mattress I will purchase again in the future.
