[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this mattress for a guest bedroom. I have not personally slept on it. My son tried it one night recently. He said it was a great experience. He is considering purchasing one for his home. My daughter requested that I replace the old mattress. She said a Stearns and Foster at her home is the most comfortable one in her house.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Mattress is much thicker than my old firm Beautyrest mattress. Even though I ordered a soft, it isn't quite as soft as I'd have liked. The memory foam top lets me sink in but, I miss the bounce of the old mattress. But, the proof is in the sleeping and I don't have any of the aches and pains that my old mattress gave me. I do sleep much better on this S and F mattress, no doubt about it. I also like the handles built into this mattress, which my old one didn't have. Important note: this mattress is much thicker than my old and had to replace the old 9" foundation with a thinner 5" one, which I ordered from Stearns and Foster. The old foundation with new mattress had me way off the floor! The new foundation is better than the old one, in any case.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Low back pain and discomfort has subsided almost immediately after sleeping on our new mattress.Shifting into any position is both painless and comfortable.It's a pleasure being able to sleep on my side again.Buying a good firm quality mattress is a lifestyle and health choice and well worth the investment.

From the perspective of someone with chronic lumbar back issues After years of wrestling with lower‑back pain and waking up feeling like I’d slept on a crooked park bench, I finally decided to invest in the Stearns & Foster Estate Firm mattress. I went into it cautiously—firm mattresses can be hit or miss when you have lumbar problems—but after several weeks of sleeping on it, I’m genuinely impressed. Comfort & Support The standout feature is the lumbar support. The mattress has a firm, stable surface that doesn’t sag or let your hips sink too deeply, which is crucial for keeping the spine aligned. I noticed within the first few nights that I wasn’t waking up with that familiar tightness in my lower back. The support feels intentional rather than just “hard,” which is a big difference. Pressure Relief Even though it’s firm, it isn’t rigid. The top layers have enough cushioning to relieve pressure around the hips and shoulders without compromising the support underneath. For someone who alternates between back and side sleeping, this balance matters more than I realized. Build Quality Stearns & Foster is known for craftsmanship, and it shows. The mattress feels substantial and well‑constructed, with no edge collapse when sitting or lying near the sides. It has that luxury‑hotel sturdiness that makes you feel like it’s going to last. Temperature I tend to sleep warm, and this mattress has stayed comfortably neutral. No overheating, no waking up sweaty—just a consistent, cool sleep surface. Overall Experience For the first time in a long time, I’m waking up without that dull lumbar ache. The Estate Firm strikes a sweet spot: supportive enough to keep my spine aligned, but cushioned enough to feel comfortable rather than punishing. If you have lower‑back issues and prefer a firm, stable sleep surface, this mattress is absolutely worth considering.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It is really hard to find a truly firm mattress in todays market. All of the mattress stores only want to cary pillow top models. The y are more expensive so stores make more money on those models. However, for those with any disc/back issues - a super firm mattress is critical to spine health and day to day mobility. I am so glad that ordering our preferred model directly from Stearns & Foster - with complimentary white glove delivery - was an option. We could not be more plesed and well rested

My wife and I have been married for 29 yrs. and this is our third Stearns and Foster bed - a queen and two kings. No doubt, the bed performance holds up to the test of time and is made of excellent quality. Our favorite part is the lack of vibration and movement when one of rolls over, changes positions or gets out of bed. By not knowing when the other is moving, this allows each of us to have uninterrupted sleep throughout the night. Like the three bears, the medium firmness is perfect for both of us. Not too soft that we sink in and get a sore back and not to firm that we get bed sores.

Our mattress is only 2-3 years old and it has utterly failed. I am 160 lbs at 6’ and I sink halfway below the edge of the mattress, my SO is short and petite. We keep our mattress clean, protected and constantly rotate. This is not a firm mattress. By ANY measure. But I am stuck with it because it is not collapsed, S&F has so cleverly hid behind the “Comfort Preference” of their sham of a warranty. Almost 3k down the drain for nothing. I am so beyond frustrated and annoyed that this is the situation I have been put in that I am seriously considering civil options.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After sleeping on too soft of a mattress for 8 years, this is an amazing improvement. My back used to crack every morning; it no longer does with this mattress. I was deciding between the medium and the firm and went with the firm. It seems a bit hard at first, but getting used to it, and having good sleep with it. So far so good.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Hard as a rock don't order firm if you are thin body shape, all your limbs arms legs will go numb Also materials are unbreathable guess all the models use similar materials Doesn't worth its price tag.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased this mattress after experiencing back pain from sleeping on an older mattress. I'm a stomach sleeper so was looking for a firmer mattress, but my wife is a back/side sleeper. She likes a firmer mattress too, but wanted something that still provided comfort with the support. This mattress fits the bill without breaking the bank. Would recommend.
