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!

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!

We've had this mattress for only ten days but we've had better sleep every night than we had in the last ten weeks with our old mattress. Bravo, S & F! As senior citizens, we have our share of aches and pains, but this mattress calms them all. You've truly made a mattress that supports our lives!

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.

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.

Our mattress is only 2-3 years old and it has utterly failed. I am 160 lbs at 6’ and I sink halfway below the edge of the mattress, my SO is short and petite. We keep our mattress clean, protected and constantly rotate. This is not a firm mattress. By ANY measure. But I am stuck with it because it is not collapsed, S&F has so cleverly hid behind the “Comfort Preference” of their sham of a warranty. Almost 3k down the drain for nothing. I am so beyond frustrated and annoyed that this is the situation I have been put in that I am seriously considering civil options.

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.

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.

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!

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.
