We are a Stearns and Foster family. Before buying the Estate queen pillow top mattress, we also have a 8 year old king pillow top mattress. It has been and continues to be amazing! The new queen pillow top is even better. Our backs have never felt better. The entire process from ordering to the white glove delivery was stellar. Any inquiries were promptly answered and all communications were respectful and gracious. We highly recommend this product!

[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.

I wish I knew how heavy this mattress was going to be, we have a difficult time tucking in the sheets and blanket. Our old mattress did not sag in the middle, I have to work myself to the side with this one. I also wake up in the middle of the night now since we bought this mattress with pain in my hands, I've tried changing pillows but it doesn't make a difference. Turning the mattress is a real chore. I did not read reviews before buying.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I ordered an extra plush mattress. I was assured what I ordered was very soft. If what I have is soft, the firm must be like sleet on a concrete pad. I sleep and wake up with my joints hurting and I toss and turn all night.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This has been the best mattress I have ever owned. The height of the mattress is higher than last bed I had. Great feature. Feels wonderful and love the air holes. So happy about the choice I made Excited to sleep on mattress for many many years to come

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought a S&F mattress 20 years ago and FINALLY decided we needed a new one. Online purchase was simple. Mattress arrived, old one removed. New mattress is same high quality and comfort as our original mattress. We love S&F!

I have wanted a Sterns and Foster Mattress for many years. Being on a fixed income, I had to save a little bit here and there, which took me a few years to save enough for my dream mattress. This mattress is like sleeping on a cloud. I have back problems; the firmness is just enough to be able to sleep without pain waking me up in the middle of the night. I get up in the morning and do not have aches and pains in my shoulders or back, which is a blessing within itself. I am yet to find anything about this mattress to complain about.

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.

I used to own Sterns and Foster mattresses years ago, and we moved down south. Bought some Sealy's for our bedrooms. Big mistake. I literally threw out our Sealy's and ordered the Sterns and foster. What a difference a great mattress makes. (and by the way, my Sealy's cost me a bundle anyway). Bravo S&F!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought a King to replace out 7 yr old queen S&F and the quality is not the same. This one is rock hard. Our orginal was amazing from day one. Bought a topper and it helps some but honestly annoyed I had to do that with an expensive purchase to begin with. Would not recommend.
