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 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.] 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*

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] For the past couple years, I've used several other mattresses that haven't given me any support for my body, therefore my quality of sleep has been terrible, needless to say. When I was given the Stearns & Foster Studio Medium Pillowtop Queen Mattress for free, in exchange for my honest review, I was pleased to do so. The mattress was firm but not so much that I couldn't feel the softness of the tufts. I must say I slept very well the first night and noticed a difference in my sleep immediately. I like how thick the mattress is and it works well with the current queen boxspring I already owned. My only complaint is how deep the tufts are in the top of the mattress. I can feel them in certain areas on my body more than others when I lay on the mattress. Overall, I would recommend this product to others and am over-the-top pleased with the mattress.

So happy with our Stern and Foster ,just the best sleep ever and we tried 2 other before being so happy with our new bed ..Matterass Firm has the 160 day sleep we did with 2 other an with fast del an return no hassle was easy to finally rest on a this beauty of a bed ..Love it Thank You !

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received a Stearns and Foster Studio Medium Tight Top Queen Mattress to review and I couldn't be happier with it. The mattress feels so luxurious compared to other mattresses I've had in the past. The outer material feels thick and substantial and this mattress is COMFORTABLE! Even though it is not billed as a pillow top mattress, it has the cushy feel of a pillow top. It is very supportive for a medium mattress while still having a cozy feel to it. One thing that was really important to me was the mattress be very breathable. My husband tends to sleep very hot, so the wrong mattress can exacerbate that problem. Luckily this mattress sleeps very cool, and that's from our experience sleeping on it in the middle of July. This mattress is also great for couples as you aren't going to be jostled around when your partner moves. I can't even feel it when my husband rolls over in the night. Overall, we love our new mattress.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We'd resisted getting a new bed for quite some time, but finally decided to do it. We're very glad we did! We compared & contrasted numerous bedding options, & are thoroughly delighted we went with this Stearns & Foster Studio Collection Medium Tight-Top mattress along with an adjustable S & F platform. We did not have a clue how bad our old mattress & box spring was for our health! My husband, with sleep apnea, is finally getting good solid nights' of rest. I also am feeling much more rested. For those who don't find memory gel mattresses comfortable, like us, you'll love this mattress!

Found this bed to be quite uncomfortable and painful, which is fine, because I was told I would have a hassle free return. WRONG. I put in my request for a return on 6/26 and still no pick up (and the customer is to pay for shipping so why is it so difficult?)!!!!! I talk with customer service and they are rude and keep pushing out the dates on when to expect a response even though I have repeatedly told them how upset and frustrated I am by this. Hopefully, I can dispute the charge from the bed with the bank because I am pretty sure their return is a scam. Also, they keep saying how slammed they are and it makes you wonder, why so many returns? Better to look elsewhere!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had this bed for about a month. When I bought this bed I was upgrading to a King size from a Queen size, which was nice like I expected, a lot more room for sharing your bed with someone. It is comfortable and I don't have any complaints.

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.
