On 09/10/22 I purchased a Sterns & Foster "handcrafted" Lux Estate Hybrid Pollock King size mattress. I purchased the expensive mattress because it's promoted as premium brand with a "sleep worry-free for a decade" 10-year warranty. I also liked the 90-day sleep trial as I have a back injury and needed to make sure my back could tolerate the new mattress. Turns out I loved it. I loved it so much I convinced my parents to buy one of their own. Fast forward to 04/10/23. (Just a little over 6 months later.) The work that the "master craftsmen" did to stitch the mattress cover was coming apart. I filed a warranty claim and was emailed a response that tells me physical abuse and damage including cuts and tears to fabric aren't covered. First off, the mattress wasn't abused, and it wasn't a cut or a tear - the stitching was coming apart at the seam in multiple areas. When I called customer service at (800)697-3249 I was told there's nothing that could be done and was refused transfer to a manager because "the decision had already been made". This is not the answer I expect from a representative of a high-end product. Honestly that's the worst answer a customer service representative can tell someone who is having problems with any product. I purchased this mattress based on the reputation of Sterns & Foster. I told the rep that I was considering finding every single website I can that advertises this mattress to leave negative reviews because the Sterns & Foster website specifically sells this product with the marketing that it is "stitched to perfection". He told me if that's what I feel like I should do - then I should do it. I let him know that I would contact the corporate office first and give Sealy another chance to resolve this concern with my mattress. I'm really surprised that Sealy would treat customers in this manner. I took a chance buying an expensive mattress because I believed that premium products are better made and I also believed that I wouldn't have any issues, now that I do it's quite disappointing. Worse than disappointing, the marketing is deceiving when the website says that the 10-year limited warranty covers "all parts of the mattress". Fast forward and I feel like I am becoming The Princess and the Pea. After writing a letter & complaining directly to the corporate office my issue was sent to the warranty escalations team who authorized replacing the mattress. On May 18, 2023 a new king size Sterns & Foster mattress was delivered to my home and the other taken away. From the first night I could tell that the new mattress did not compare to the old one in any way. I wanted to give it a little time to see if my partner also felt the same way. I checked the website and realized that the Lux Hybrid doesn't even come in the Pollack or in cushion firm anymore - just soft, medium, and firm. I never received any sort of receipt or invoice from Sterns & Foster telling me what my replacement is, but the sleep quality is nowhere near what I was used to on the previous mattress. I absolutely LOVED the first mattress and If I had ANY idea that I would be sent a completely different replacement I would have sewed the stitching that was coming apart myself rather than send it back! After reviewing the website lately, I find the new Lux Hybrid mattresses don't have the row of microcoils that the first did when I ordered it last November and I believe this is the reason it feels so different to me - because it is made fundamentally different now. I am really surprised that the warranty escalations team would not warn me of the changes to the models before offering to replace the other. I feel like I am stuck between a rock and a hard place as the delivery personnel told me that the mattress they took away would be shredded. What a waste! Other than the stitching issue it was a perfectly good mattress and one that I would much rather have than the new one that Sealy sent. And it's not just that the replacement mattress is firmer; I can feel every time my partner moves, and its hotter - I have to kick the covers off at night when I am overheating. The other one simply had a stitching issue. Now Sealy has told me there's nothing else they will do as they claim the replacement mattress sent was identical to the first. What a cheap rip-off. I even purchased a new queen-sized Sterns & Foster mattress for my guest bedroom when Sealy stepped up and said they would replace the first. I wish I would've waited, I now believe Sealy has no intention of treating their customers right.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've really enjoyed the feel and comfort of this bed except for a big flaw. It's the buttons riddled throughout. They just don't let me or my partner truly enjoy the pillow top mattress. They are hard and when tossing or turning in bed we sink into them. The only relief has been adding a comforter and blanket over the bed but then we feel that defeats the purpose. Other than that, yes the bed is is super luxurious feeling and looking. I missed the bed on a vacation but when I got back to my bed I turned over and felt the jab of the button on my side and I remembered how this mattress is close but not there yet. At least with the pillow top version.

I have leukemia, and the medications that I must take daily have serious side effects. My joints are always painful and inflamed. Furthermore, I must sleep on my side due to a failed neck fusion. In the last twelve months, I have tried a mattress advertised as the best comfort. That didn't work at all. Next, I decided to purchase a highly advertised soft mattress with the same outcome. No rest, painful nights always! I purchased my Sterns and Foster Lux Hybrid (Soft) (LHH3) mattress in early March of 2024. From the first night, I experienced far less pain, slept better, and felt so very much better than I have in many years! This mattress is by far, the best mattress I have ever had and I highly recommend it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Honestly I can say this breed is amazing. It is firm, which I love and need. It also has a pillow top so although it is form holding underneath, there is a soft inviting and sculpting layer on top. I used to think the cooling technology was a gimmick but this bed has kept me cool despite Florida summers. I would 100% back this mattress and intend to buy again in about a decade. Only downside is that it cannot be flipped, but with high tech beds that was always unlikely.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We badly needed a new mattress. I was begrudgingly looking for a new one as our previous experiences had been pretty poor. We tried so many mattresses before our last purchase, and thought we loved the one we chose. But once it was home, it felt like something completely different - in the worst ways. We tolerated it for a while because we'd paid so much for it. But it was time for a new mattress. Enter the Stearns and Foster Lux Hybrid mattress. I wasn't sure how it would feel since we didn't test it first. But it well exceeded all of my expectations. It's beautiful to look at and to sleep on. It has just the right amount of plushness and firmness. It doesn't sleep hot at all, which was a concern for us. Our regular queen sheets fit perfectly. We don't need a mattress topper! I would buy this mattress again! Highly recommend!

We bought a very expensive mattress to support our backs and to relieve discomfort we were having. It made some improvement but advice from a physical therapist to place a pillow between our knees did much more good. Now after a little over a year, depressions are developing where we sleep with a ridge in the middle. A service technician came out to evaluate it and made measurements along the ridge so found no problem. You can clearly see the depressions even with a comforter on top. Also, the sides are beginning to roll down. This is not the quality I would expect from a mattress in this price range.

I looked forward to getting a high quality Stearns & Foster mattress, but that's not what I got. It feels like a cheap, foam rubber pad. It's not firm, it's squishy. I sink in and wake up every time I try to pull myself out of a hole to turn over. It's supposed to be cool, but it's hot. It was a big waste of money.

My husband and I purchased the most expensive mattress of our lives because we believe that it is worth it. We had owned Stearns and Foster in the past, and have been happy with them. Let me disclose that we are both in our upper 70's. The first problem we experienced was that the mattress is super heavy. It took both of us to make the bed. Secondly, the pillow top shifted almost immediately. Within 3 months, we were both sleeping in a hole. When the bed was made up, two body holes and a mound in the middle showed through the bedspread. The company from whom we purchased mattress, sent a representative out to measure and advise us what to do. The "fix" for the shift in the pillow top, was to walk on the bed to shift the top. Keep in mind, we are in our seventies. That wasn't a great solution for us. So we continue to sleep in our holes and if we move to the middle, we are literally sleeping on an angle. We honestly believe that the foundation under the pillow top is solid and of good value. If you are young and not afraid of breaking a hip, and still have a good back to lift 200 pounds to make up the bed, go for it. If you are older, be advised, it might not be the best bed for you!

Purchased a new S&F Reserve Med Tight Top Queen from a furniture store in July. Had previously owned a S&F from 2001 - 2008. It sagged terribly at about 8 yrs but neither the very reputable furniture company where I purchased it nor S&F honor the 10-year warranty. I did turn the mattress over as instructed. The salesperson whom I purchased my new mattress told me the new mattresses were so much more advanced and they will not sag. The new mattress was delivered at the end of August. I usually sleep in the middle but have a tendency to move a lot in bed and end up on side. I decided to go to bed on the opposite side of the mattress for a change. Needless to say that side was much firmer than the other. I am small build and low weight. I did not expect this new mattress to get somewhat saggy in less than four months. I do like being able to raise the head and feet at times, but I only raise the head slightly rather than using two pillows, I don't use it like a chair.

We purchased the split king Reserve medium tight top after reading about it and seeing it in a mattress store. We were so excited about getting this very expensive new mattress. In less than 30 days both mattresses began to dip in the middle. My husband said he felt like he was about to roll off the bed. My back hurts so bad that I have to get up every 2-3 hours. The mattresses slides everyday and leaves a large gap in the center so we have to push it back together. The base is tied together and doesn't move. I am so disappointed. We spoke with the company where we purchased the mattress and frame and we will have to pay $250 to return the mattress. There would not be a charge if we exchanged it for another bed just like what we have but I have lost my trust in this brand. I am not sure if it would have been a better mattress if it had been a king rather than a split king. The mattress is approximately 49 days old and has been a big disappointment to us.
