We were looking for a firm mattress in originally purchased a Beautyrest Black. Was very disappointed with it and sent it back and replaced it with our Sterns and foster firm pillow top. The difference is that with the beauty rest it was firm, but actually quite hard. After just a couple nights of sleeping, a divot formed in the mattress, which shouldn’t happen. The Stearns and Foster is firm, but the pillow top gives it a little bit of soft comfortable feeling. While the mattress does conform a bit to your body, The, divots in the mattress aren’t quite as noticeable as with the beautyrest. Pro tip: purchase your mattresses online directly from the manufacturer site. Delivery was a breeze, and you won’t need to pay a large return fee to a furniture store. Wish I had known that from the start.

When my husband and I were first married, nearly 60 years ago, we had the money to purchase only one item of furniture. It was a Stearns & Foster mattress. Over the years when that mattress had to be replaced...and we needed beds for our two daughters, we opted for an unknown brand at a mattress store: big mistake. A second replacement for our own king size bed was a well known, well advertised luxury brand a friend had raved about. Another mistake. Well, at least I learned from my mistakes. With our nest empty, we needed a mattress for our guest room. We did our shopping correctly this time. Went to a high end department store, tested out all the mattress within our price range (and I do mean tested...by taking off our shoes and lying down), We chose a Stearns and Foster "Tropical Oasis: Saba Wind." Success. Happiness. Everyone who slept on the mattress commented on how comfortable it was. Fast forward to several months ago. My husband complained. Our "luxury" was way past its expiration date. He was falling into some kind of invisible hole he told me. I made an instant decision. I called Stearns & Foster and asked for the current iteration of our "Saba Wind." The very nice young woman who answered told me the Lux Estate Pillow Top Medium would be the updated version. I drove to a nearby store that had this exact model on the floor. Yes! Beautifully comfortable. Incredible support. Perfect. Firm yet not too firm. A pillow top with provided just the right amount of "give." We're thrilled. We made the right decision. We've lived and learned. The "bargain" mattresses were a waste of money. The famous brand earned no fame from us. It simply didn't hold up over time. We're back with Stearns & Foster, where we started out. And we're happy!

We purchased our mattress about a year ago. At first it was fine but within 4 to 6 months it started to show indents where we sleep. Now a year later it’s just awful. We try smoothing it out but that is extremely difficult, if not impossible to do. My husband is going to call the company today, I do hope he has a positive response.

My husband is 6'4" has back issues, we were visiting friends and slept over. He woke up the next day asking what kind of bed they had? Stearns and fosters is what they said. The next week we went and bought one. We bought this same mattress over 15yrs ago. Over the years moving we folded the mattress, which is a no no, but this girl stuck with us, the last two yrs, she needed to be gone, so we decided it was time. We ordered a brand new one and had to get the same one, because we know just how wonderful this mattress is. Worth every penny, and you will get your best sleep ever! Will never buy any other kind to sleep on.

I have back and neck issues and comfort has been really hard to find. We have bought several mattresses the past few years and so far this has been the best mattress for me by far!! I love that it hasn’t sagged and I am sleeping through the night not waking up in the mornings in pain.

I was told this product would be similar to the Cassatt ultra plush. It is not!! You melt and feel no pain with the ultra plush Cassatt. I believe this mattress doesn’t have enough memory foam and I feel cheated. I would tell you not to fork out this much money when you can get more memory foam elsewhere for half the price.

This is the worst mattress I have ever owned and I’ve owned some pretty inexpensive brands and spend about 200 nights a year in Hampton Inn hotels who use who knows what brand and really thought this mattress was going to be life changing. Prior to purchase I laid on a gimmicky pressure pad and was told this mattress is my best fit and I can say that I regret wasting money on this mattress. I wake every morning around 4am to go to gym and since buying this mattress I’ve had to delay my workouts for hours until my back stops aching.

Why are mattresses made so thick? It makes them too heavy. I have a king size mattress and I can barely tuck my sheets. Even my husband couldn't believe how heavy the mattress is. I used to be able to flip my mattress myself. Now I woukd need 4 stong men to do it. I think this should be considered when designing this product.

We recently went to a friends house and we were fortunate enough to sleep on this mattress. I was experiencing severe pain in my L5 S1 vertebrae. The night that I slept on this mattress for the first time in a long time, I actually got a good nights rest. The following week when we were home, we opted to buy this mattress as it had proved to be a mattress that I could actually sleep on and rest on without having pain in my lower back.

Stearns and foster was my mattress of choice some 20 years ago. I needed a new bed and picked another brand. What regrets. I woke with pain all night long switching from 1 side to the other to try to sleep. I finally realized I needed to return to the brand I chose years ago. What a difference. No more pain during the night, no more pressure points keeping me awake. Love my new mattress. My husband, who wasn’t happy about making a new purchase and getting rid of a 4 year old mattress is so relieved we went back to Stearns and foster. My son loves his and my sister has just placed an order.
