Feeling Ripped Off

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.

Amazingly comfortable

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This mattress is sooo comfortable that I'm finally sleeping thru the night. Our mattress was ready to be replaced and this one came at perfect timing. First time hearing about the brand and I have to say I can't wait to change all of our mattresses for this ones. They are really good made and they offer a great support which was super important to avoid having back pain in the mornings.

Waste of money

Very disappointed in spending this much money on a mattress that hurts my body so bad to sleep on and can't even return it. There is nothing level on it, it's stiff in some spots and super soft in others. You would think with a price tag like that it would feel like a luxury bed. I will never ever buy another stearns and foster again as this was my second one after exchanging a different one because it was ungodly uncomfortable. Their is no way the same mattresses are in the store than being sold. And I am well past the break in period so my body doesn't just need to adjust.

Lasted 1 Month, No Customer Support, No Warranty

Mattress was great for 1 month until suddenly a 6 inch deep by 3 foot long hole appeared in the center of the mattress. It's unusable now. I have tried every phone number and customer support email on the website dozens of times, no response. You can't talk to anyone. It's supposed to have a 10 year warranty. Bought from a large furniture store but they special ordered this mattress, not a Stearns and Foster dealer, so they won't help at all. Worst customer service ever. I'm ready to drive the mattress 12 hours to the factory and return it in person. I'm hoping to get a response from this review as nothing else works.

Sleeping on clouds

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Stearns & Foster Lux Hybrid Soft Queen mattress is as if you're sleeping on clouds. Your body is surrounded by softness and irresistible comfort. I was able to fall asleep quickly and had a deep sleep throughout the night. Not once did I wake up with any aches or discomfort. Zero soreness in the morning. Waking up refreshed is an amazing feeling. I'm in love with the dark color of the mattress as well. This mattress reminds me of the luxury mattresses that are in five star hotels.

Rest, finally!

Best ever mattress!

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!

Did not last one year

The structure of the mattress deteriorated in less than one year. When I sat on the edge, the edge sank about half way down. The area where I normally slept developed a valley such that my girlfriend said she felt like she was entering a valley. Unfortunately since the mattress sprang back to its original level when no one was on it, the warranty dept refused to provide any help. So I discarded it. Poor quality and disappointing level of customer support.

Buyer beware

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!

Disappointed buyer

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.

not worth extra money and not the softest

Im 5'8 140 skinny and on the boney side. There website is misleading. If you ask the sales or "experts as they call it lol. They say its the softest but i disagree. If your under 150 its a bit over kill with all these extra coils which still gives you a stiff and hard feeling. If your under 150 its going to be hard to break in i had to keep walking on mine 10- 20mins a day. To finally loosen it up. I still wake up with shoulder and arm pains do the stiffness and lack of conforming. . Also the buttons are annoying and feels like rocks /pebbles if your laying on one.. should put something over them. theyll tell you to use a pad or topper. Which didnt help and is ridiculous because you spend lots of money to avoid this. The luxe hybrid soft feels much more softer and better conforming. A Hybrid will always feel softer im not sure why they push this one as the softest. I say because most expensive and they get bigger commission off it as well as company profits more. Sad its all about money and not the customer anymore. If your heavier than 150 and like a firm soft , and can deal with the buttons. this may be the one for you. If your lightweight like me i try the soft hybrid. Also choose different stores . My stores the displays are not properly supported and they sag. No center support and you can see them bending. Shop around theres better price mattresses that will do the same. Do your research look on redit , quora, and other community personal opinions. People who actually own and want to help. All these reviews say the same thing. There paid for it and get the mattresses for free. Of course there going say good things.
