This is a great mattress. Very comfortable, not too soft , not too firm. The only reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 star is because I'm not a fan of memory foam, but you can't get a mattress without it.

I’ve owned my mattress for less than two years and it has a small hole from the material unraveling. They said it is cosmetic and is not covered under the warranty. How could a mattress less than two years spring a hole. I’ve owned many mattresses and this has never happened. This is not a cosmetic issue, it is a manufacturer issue and they could care less to try and resolve the matter.

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.

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 husband and I are experiencing restful sleep, our firm mattress is a dream! Not to sink into the mattress is great. The mattress is very firm, yet it molds to your body. I was worried that I would get indents like our old mattress but when you rise in the morning it looks as if no one has slept on the mattress! Stearns & Foster is worth every thousand spent and I will recommend it to friends and family who are in the market for a new mattress!

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.

This Mattress replaced our first STEARNS and FOSTER MATTRESS which we enjoyed for 16 years. To be honest I never really thought of looking at any other brand after experiencing the difference with the last one. The quality is exceptional and the comfort is worth every penny spent. My back and muscles remind me of that every day.

I certainly needed a new mattress as mine was about 25 years old! The sag in the middle wasn’t conducive to great sleep. It took only 2-3 nights to adjust to my new - Stearns & Foster. Am now enjoying a wonderful nights sleep. I wake up refreshed. I had hoped to make it a bit lower but the pillow top added to the height- a small price to pay - great quality- good decision on my part!

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.

This product is really expertly made! While my husband and I were looking at the different mattresses available, it was clear the Stearns and Foster were of a higher quality and craftsmanship. When the mattress and adjustable base arrived and after our first night sleep, we knew we made the right decision. My back felt so much better right away! Even with the price being a bit beyond our budget, we felt confident in what we were buying. It's been a week now with our new mattress and I know we purchased a quality product!
