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.

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!

My wife had been requesting a Stearns and Foster for a while, but I was skeptical. I've had various types of moderately costly mattresses in the past, but rarely found them to be worth the price tag. I expected a similar experience here, but "happy wife, happy life" gave me the motivation to get this bed. I was quite pleased--I have noticed much better sleep quality since we got this new mattress, and I'm happy to have made the switch.

You'll be absolutely foolish and irresponsible to spend your money on an investment of this size with any other manufacturer or company. The next day is only as good as your last night's sleep!

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.

I have wanted a Sterns and Foster Mattress for many years. Being on a fixed income, I had to save a little bit here and there, which took me a few years to save enough for my dream mattress. This mattress is like sleeping on a cloud. I have back problems; the firmness is just enough to be able to sleep without pain waking me up in the middle of the night. I get up in the morning and do not have aches and pains in my shoulders or back, which is a blessing within itself. I am yet to find anything about this mattress to complain about.

We were very pleased with the quality and appearance of this product. The mattress appears to be of a high quality and it is very comfortable. My husband’s back feels so much better since we started sleeping on the new mattress. Love the design and feel of the materials.

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!

My wife and I have been married for 29 yrs. and this is our third Stearns and Foster bed - a queen and two kings. No doubt, the bed performance holds up to the test of time and is made of excellent quality. Our favorite part is the lack of vibration and movement when one of rolls over, changes positions or gets out of bed. By not knowing when the other is moving, this allows each of us to have uninterrupted sleep throughout the night. Like the three bears, the medium firmness is perfect for both of us. Not too soft that we sink in and get a sore back and not to firm that we get bed sores.

We are a Stearns and Foster family. Before buying the Estate queen pillow top mattress, we also have a 8 year old king pillow top mattress. It has been and continues to be amazing! The new queen pillow top is even better. Our backs have never felt better. The entire process from ordering to the white glove delivery was stellar. Any inquiries were promptly answered and all communications were respectful and gracious. We highly recommend this product!
