[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!

BUYER BEWARE unless you have money to just throw away. This is the worse performing mattress I have ever owned manufactured in a Stearns and Foster.brand. I purchased a Queen and a king to replace older mattresses 4 months ago and have regretted it ever since. There is not any support in it. When you sit or lay for just a short period of time it bottoms out giving you NO support there. Forget about a good night sleep because it is not going to happen with this mattress. Neither my husband or myself are large people. Getting up in the mornings with back pain and not rested since a few hours is all either of us can take on this mattress does not make for a good day. I have a medical condition that makes getting enough sleep crucial to daily function. This issue with this mattress goes beyond "break in" condition. You feel like you are in a hole all the time. I guess buying a new model mattress is like buying a new model car, you don't do it! Wait until enough complaints are made that the manufacturer makes the corrections necessary to manufacture a reliable quality product before you make a purchase. I feel like a crash dummy for mattresses in the testing phase!! Unfortunately I DO NOT have anything good to say about this mattress. For the money spent I expected quality from Stearns and Foster as I always have. I only gave it one star because that was the lowest I could rate it.

[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.

I knew this would be the best mattress in the store, but was I willing to fork over what it cost? Took me 4 years to be completely fed up with current mattress and take the jump. I should have done it sooner- first night on the mattress was unexpected comfort. Rested in the morning, very few turn overs in the night. No back pain and no stiffness. I have the firm, but it is more like a medium and it's perfect. It does have a chemical smell that I expect to go away soon- I don't care- it's a great mattress.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's been a few weeks and I'm very impressed with our Stearns & Foster Medium Reserve queen mattress. It's high quality, durable and comfortable. It's the perfect balance of firm and comfortable without being too lightweight and unsupportive. I see this as a long term piece that is high quality.

Due to medical reasons, I cannot sleep on my back. This mattress did not disappoint with pressure point relief when side sleeping. Great support also for stomach sleepers. You cannot go wrong with this mattress! This is the best investment I've made for myself in years! Highly recommend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This bed is fantastic! We ordered a "bed in a box" type mattress years ago for convenience and price. While they seem comfortable initially, they quickly decline in quality. The Stearns and Foster Reserve is the first traditional mattress we have had in years. When presented with the opportunity to review one of Stearns and Fosters mattresses from Bzzagent, I still wanted to do my research. I landed on the Reserve collection soft pillowtop. The pillowtop provides an extra layer of cushioning that is very comfortable. I tend to get very warm while sleeping, so the cooling fibers were very important to me. While lots of products claim to be "cooling", this mattress has delivered on that claim. The pillowtop cover is made of Tencel, which is a high-end fabric known for its exceptional temperature regulation. It has a silky moisture wicking fabric feel to it. Our summer heat is brutal, so this was the perfect time to test the cooling capabilities. Another feature I love is the dual support. The mattress has a comfort layer with TEMPUR-Indulge memory foam, but also a support layer with Intellicoil HD. One issue we have had with the foam mattresses in a box is they tend to lose their shape and sag over time. They don't provide support long term. My husband is a side sleeper, and I am a stomach sleeper, we both find this mattress very comfortable and supportive. It provides a good night's sleep to every type of sleeper. If there is any question on quality and standing the test of time, just try lifting and moving the mattress. It is extremely heavy! That may be the only negative about it. When trying to change the sheets it is slightly more difficult to lift and get the sheets on. I will take that minor inconvenience any day to have the quality rest we have been getting on this mattress. Goodbye bed in a box!

[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!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] While I don't feel I have had enough time sleeping on the mattress to give all my thoughts, I believe we have a pretty solid basis so far to give our thoughts. The high mattress made me giggle, but we love it. The material looks very well made, which we love. As for the actual sleep of the mattress, it's very comfortable. The first few nights of sleep, I woke up with zero pain, which was terrific. Now the top is slightly softer than I assumed when hearing firm. The sides dip down a bit more than I would like as well. And we think it may sleep a bit warmer than our old mattress. We love the mattress, though, and are thrilled to see how we keep liking it over the next few months. I plan to do a blog post within the next few months to express our thoughts! Along with social shares then.

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.
