[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a participant with BzzAgent sampling program we were chosen to test the medium lux hybrid for free in exchange for an honest review. I debated about giving this a 3 or a 4, so here are my thoughts. Keep in mind, we have only had this for a little over a week so far. Before choosing the mattress we would be willing to test I looked at the website for the firmness scale and the scale on the website said the firmness would be around 6-7 out of 10 for the medium. We have not found this to be accurate at this point. When we sit on the edge of the bed it sinks WAY down. Then when we lay in it, we sink way in. Its weird because if kinda feels a bit firm, but then we wake up in a hole. Definitely doesn't feel as firm as we expected and it is unfortunately a situation where we are waking up with sore backs. (I will add that we are not small people, but also not excessively overweight. I think it is a factor though). As for the cooling feature...we don't really see it. I don't know if that is because we have a mattress cover on it, or its just not working well for us. We will be trying it without the mattress cover soon. Not giving up yet. I can see this mattress being great for people who prefer a softer bed. I struggle to accurately say what I think because it does seem to have the support and stability I want in a mattress, but I also am waking up with a sore back and in a hole. I know, clear as mud. Overall, I think it s a good solid choice as long as its clear that it is softer than expected. One major thing that was bothersome to us was the off gassing. The "chemical" smell on this mattress for the first few days was so strong I actually ended up sleeping on the couch one night. I am sensitive to toxic fumes and it was causing me some trouble. That does seem to have dissipated after 4 days or so. So, after just one week, I wouldn't count this mattress out, but I don't think it will end up being right for us.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this mattress as part of a promotion. This mattress is very nice. The cover is soft to the touch and feels very luxurious. The bed is very thick, so you need deep pocket sheets for it. Laying down the first time it felt like a dream. Very supportive and comfortable. My daughter sat down on the bed while I was laying down and it didn't bother me. Normally someone sitting down or moving bothers me. I really didn't feel her sit down very much. Getting out of bed the edge feels like a good quality mattress. I am on the heavier side and it didn't feel like I was caving in the whole edge of the mattress. The edges seem to be very well made and make it easier to get out of bed. I am pleased the mattress has handles on the sides for ease of moving it, if needed. The bed didn't smell weird or have a strong chemical smell like other new beds I have purchased. So far so good and I am now considering buying another for my master bedroom in a King size.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was shocked when I received this Queen sized Stearns & Foster Reserve Medium Tight Top. This mattress is the thickest mattress I've ever had the pleasure of sleeping on! First of all, it's HEAVY! It took me and my husband dragging it up our house's stairs to get it into our bedroom. The sewn in handles on the sides makes it slightly easier to move, but it's still super heavy. Once we got it on the bed frame, I noticed that since the mattress is so thick, it covers up half the headboard! That's not a complaint, as the thickness is what makes this mattress so comfortable! There are sewn in grooves and waves in the top of the mattress that give it this pillow feeling when you lay down. Both me and my husband weren't disturbed when we tried moving around as the other person laid still. The mattress works well at absorbing movements. Also, not that you'll see it when you have bedding on it, but the deep blue color of the mattress is gorgeous. I do think a deep pocket sheet set would work better than a standard queen sized set. I'm excited that this is now my new bed, I feel almost spoiled! I will keep telling my friends and family that Stearns & Foster is worth the hype and the money!

After searching for years for a comfortable bed for the 2 of us this bed is hands down the best bed we have ever had we have had temperpedic bed and other name brand beds that don't even come close to the comfort level that this bed is I would highly recommend Sterns and foster beds to anybody I am finally excited to go to bed and wake up not hurting like I did in other beds So if you would like the best bed skip all the rest and go with the best I guarantee you will love it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great mattress. It's supportive and still conforms to your body. I've slept much better on this mattress since night 1. It's thick, but not so thick that sheets are a problem to keep on. Doesn't get overly hot and has made me feel so much better in the morning.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Stearns & Foster kindly gave me the Lux Hybrid Medium for free so that I could review it. I have only slept on this mattress for a few weeks, and I really like it so far. This is my first hybrid mattress. The medium is softer than I expected. Compared to my eight years old memory mattress, it's much cooler. It seems like this mattress provides support evenly all night. I can find my comfortable sleeping position easily, and fall asleep fast. I wake up feeling rested every morning.

We got the mattress for less than a year and its already sagging. We have tried to communicate with the service department and all they refused to exchange the mattress because its not curvy enough. This is ridiculous and its causing psychological issues that we cant even fall asleep properly. We are so disappointed in both the quality of the mattress and the service!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thank you Sterns & Foster for sending me this mattress for free to review through BzzAgent! Even though I got this for free, this review is my own honest opinion! So I am 7 months pregnant and this mattress couldn't of came at a better time! My hips and arms were falling asleep with our other mattress. Since we've switched to this one, it hasn't happened at all!! It so comfy and soft! But not too soft that you just sink into it. It is still supportive with the most soft top and velvety material! It feels so well made, like it would last a lifetime. It is a very thick mattress and the soft topper is so thick and amazing! First bed I've never had to add a topper to! I also can't feel my husband roll over or get up at all! It's seriously amazing! I've never had a mattress this comfortable before!

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.

I spent over $3500 for the pillow top firm and it has been the worst investment I have ever made. I am a single person and with one person sleeping on the mattress, it is hard to sleep all over the mattress to even out the pillow top sinking. Now the pillow top sinks in one area that I sleep and is very lumpy. I wake up hurting every morning. Now I will be trashing my investment when I can and going back to Beautyrest probably. I had a beautyrest mattress for 9 years before finally buying a new one. Losing over $3500 is a big hit.
