I was not able to test this mattress so I relied on the manufacturer rating to make my purchase decision. So, on a scale of 1 to 10 (with a 10 being the most firm), this mattress was rated (by the manufacturer) at a medium comfort level between 4 and 5; however, it feels more like a very firm 8 or 9. Unfortunately, I don't think this unexpected extra firmness will work well for a side sleeper like myself. My advice would be to make sure you can test this mattress yourself and do not rely on the manufacturer's rating to make your purchase decision. My only hope is that, ove time, it will soften enough so I will be able to "comfortably" sleep on my side.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the comfort and feel of this Stearns and Foster Studio mattress. This mattress has a great design, high quality materials for a great nights rest. The supportive inner springs and plush memory foam has me feeling relaxed all night. I definitely love the quality and fabric. I received a free product for my honest opinion.

Unfortunately after 3 months our mattress started sagging in the center on both sides. Stearns recommended that we rotate the bed and "the indentations will even out over time." We then rotated our mattress every 4 months and one year later the mattress is unusable. I only weigh 125lbs and my husband is 165lbs. We have a steel base with rigid cross bracing. They would not warranty the bed due to the slats not being 3" wide.

Last night was my first night sleeping on my new Stearns & Foster Mattress and I am already sleeping better. I have severe hip pain on my left side and found that moving around on this new mattress is quite a bit less painful than on my old mattress. I have a Queen 14" Mattress and it is quite heavy to lift when making up the bed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I originally wanted to put this in our guest room but it's so comfy I think I want it in my master bedroom instead of my TempurPedic! Perfect medium firmness with the pillow top adding a little extra cushion. I have been using this for 2 weeks now and have had no issues sleeping on my back, side or stomach. I love that it is compatible with an adjustable base as we will be getting that in the future. The only reason I would give it less than 5 stars would be because the price point is pretty high with it being Stearns and Fosters cheapest line but it is definitely worth it! *I received this product free of charge in exchange for my honest review*

I am 80 years old and changed from my other mattress because I wanted one that was more cushiony and a little less firm. This mattress is excellent, actually providing firm support as well as a comfortable cushion feel. I can sleep in any position in complete comfort and good support. I got the medium pillow top Studio with a 9" box spring underneath. It has greatly relieved all my various aches and pains, and is perfect for me. It is a bit pricey but well. worth the expense at my age

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the Stearns & Foster Studio Medium Pillowtop Queen Mattress and I love it! Not only is this the most beautifully designed mattress, but it is also some of the best nights sleep I have ever had. I love the comfort of a pillowtop mattress, but I needed more support for my back. With this Medium support pillowtop mattress I can now have both. The pillowtop contoured to my body giving me the best comfort and the support was not too firm and not too soft. It was perfect. I can wake up and not have soreness in my back and that is huge for me. The mattress has a ventilated cooling system that helps to keep your mattress cool all night long. The coils have responsive innerspring technology that prevents noticeable movement from your partner so you can have a more uninterrupted sleep. My husband does toss and turn in his sleep and I didn't notice his movements at all while sleeping on this mattress. I was able to get a good nights sleep and woke up feeling refreshed and ready to go. I haven't felt this well rested in years. I am very happy with this mattress and I would definitely recommend it to all my family and friends.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We received this mattress for free to review. My husband has tried many mattresses over the years that promised comfort for him and his back. This is the first time he is sleeping through the night and waking with zero pain. I didn't believe it was possible. It's not as soft as I personally like but I sleep very well. I'm so happy that he now can too.

The firstKing mattress sagged where each of us slept after 3 months (180# each). Got replacement and this also has sagged and results in uncomfortable sleeping. Feels like sleeping in a hammock. Sterns and Foster will not help as we bought from "Mattress Firm". So I guess they dont care about their reputation or quality of this product. I am extremely unhappy with my $ 3000 purchase.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This mattress helps me sleep better than I ever have. Slept on one at friends home while on vacation and had to come home and purchase one I was that impressed with the comfort and quality of sleep. Took away me sleeping issues, ie, waking up and not falling back to sleep.
