This is an awesome mattress! It's firm but comfortable at the same time. This is a replacement mattress that Ashley very kindly agreed to make and I couldn't be happier with the store and my purchase.

This was purchased for my mother who loves it. She has difficulty getting up in the morning but with this firm mattress it surely helps with a good nights sleep and sturdy enough so its easy for her to get up.

The first night on a new mattress is always a little odd. I was pleasantly surprised. I fell asleep fast and had significantly less pain upon arising. That's only night one. Can't wait to go back to bed tonight!

This is a great mattress. Very comfortable, not too soft , not too firm. The only reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 star is because I'm not a fan of memory foam, but you can't get a mattress without it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have a Stearns and Foster mattress in our guest bedroom that we've had FOREVER and it has not broken down at all. After experiencing several different brands of mattresses for our own bed we knew we had to go back to S & F. Maybe we're "old school" but the old fashioned support system is still good to this day so why deviate from it. Went with medium support and it's plenty firm enough - probably last the rest of our lives(we're mid 70's). We don't want to sink into our mattress, we want it to adequately support us and S & F does just that.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We are very pleased with the Sterns and Foster mattress. It is very firm and comfortable and we are able to get a very restful and comfortable nights sleep. We appreciate that it is well constructed and does not make noise or movement when the other person moves in the bed or exits or enters the bed. We had a Sterns and Foster previously and will never own any other manufacturers product.

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.] We love our new mattress! Our old one was memory foam and did not have enough support at all especially for my boyfriend who would wake up with back pain all the time. He hasn't complained once since we got this mattress and I feel much more support and comfortable as well!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a Stearns & Foster mattress loyalist. Their value is immeasurable. I am a side sleeper who prefers the firmest mattress I can find. The firm Estate mattress delivers excellent supportive comfort. My first S&F lasted 20 years and my new firm Estate mattress is proving its worth for fabulous sound sleep. The quality careful construction of my new firm Estate suggests this fabulous mattress will serve me well for another couple decades. The mattress is very heavy but with the handles I can still manage to move on and off the platform bed by myself. The reinforced side walls are amazing and will hold up to sitting on the bed edge when necessary.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Giving a four star rating. The quality and structure of the sterns and foster mattress is outstanding. Please do not change it. I am sleeping so much better however, I am considering returning it and upgrading to the cooling gel version because it does sleep a little warm. I wish all companies would stop putting hot latex in their products.
