Stearns and Foster Review

Pick Stearns and Foster if...

• You want customizable comfort. Each Stearns and Foster model is available in multiple firmness options, and allows you to upgrade to a pillow top that suits your comfort needs. If you want a mattress that feels like it was made for you, choose Stearns and Foster. ‍
• You'd rather choose from a smaller collection of specialized models. Many mattress companies boast a wide variety of mattresses to choose from, but this variety can make choosing a bed more difficult. Instead, Stearns and Foster features 3 collections with 5 unique models to choose from, making it easier to select the model best for you.‍
• You want the best of foam and coil technology. Stearns and Foster combines high quality foam layers with their IntelliCoil system to provide optimal support and comfort for different sleep needs and preferences.

Seek alternatives to Stearns and Foster if...

• You need a sleep trial. Unfortunately, Stearns and Foster doesn't offer a sleep trial with any of their mattresses, so you'll have to be sure that you're making the right choice upon purchase. If you're indecisive or just like the security a trial provides, consider alternative brands such as Saatva. They provide a generous 180-night risk-free trial.‍
• You want to buy your mattress online, directly from Stearns and Foster. Stearns and Foster mattresses aren't available for purchase via their website. You'll have to buy from a third party online retailer, or visit an in store retailer to buy a Stearns and Foster mattress.

Firmness/Feel/Comfort

Stearns and Foster provides 5 different firmnesses across 3 different mattress collections, so you can customize your mattress feel to fit your individual sleep needs. Here's a breakdown of each firmness level:

• Ultra Plush: This firmness level is optimal for side and combination sleepers looking for shoulder and hip pressure relief. If you like superior cushioning and feeling more "in" your mattress than "on" it, Ultra Plush caters to this preference.‍
• Plush: Slightly firmer than Ultra Plush, this firmness level gives slightly more support while still remaining ideal for side only or combination sleepers.‍
• Cushion Firm: This is a medium firmness level ideal for all sleep styles, including back and stomach sleepers. Cushion firm provides the cushioning you crave with the support you need for healthy spine alignment. This is also the most popular comfort level of all Saatva mattresses.‍
• Firm: Stearn and Foster's second firmest option, this firmness level is best for back and stomach sleepers who still want a mattress that provides adequate give and responsiveness.‍
• Extra Firm: Extra Firm models provide superior support and weight distribution, optimal for stomach sleepers. You'll feel more "on" than "in" this mattress.

Construction & Design

• Stearns and Foster mattresses range from 13.5" to 16" tall. ‍
• The Estate Series: This mattress series combines their Indulge memory foam, designed by the scientists at Tempur-Pedic, with their IntelliCoil system to provide luxurious comfort and support. It's available in three different firmness levels and two different pillow top feels for a custom sleep experience.‍
• Lux Estate Series: This series offers all of the great benefits of the Estate series, but with advanced, HD Indulge memory foam and HD Intellicoil to provide extra comfort and support.‍
• Reserve Series: This series offers 15 of Stearns and Foster's most advanced sleep technology. It features a plush layer of HD Indulge memory foam followed by a Micro IntelliCoil system layer for the best of comfort and support. The velvet exterior gives this mattress a luxurious feel.

Motion Isolation

Due to each model's advanced IntelliCoil system combined with memory foam layers, Stearns and Foster beds are great at motion isolation. The IntelliCoil system absorbs energy from any movement while providing isolated support, effectively eliminating any motion transfer across the mattress. For this reason, Stearns and Foster mattresses are great choices for couples!

Edge Support

Most Stearns and Foster models feature their PrecisionEdge system– a high density coil border for flexible support and durability. The PrecisionEdge system increases usable surface area, prevents roll-off, and keeps your mattress's shape year after year.

Bed Frame Compatibility

Stearns and Foster mattresses are compatible with box springs or solid foundations, as well as adjustable bases.

Shipping/Returns/Warranty

Because Stearns and Foster mattresses can only be bought through third party retailers, or in store, shipping and return policies are entirely up to that retailer. A 10-year warranty in included with each model.

Why Buy Stearns and Foster?

1. You want to sleep cool. Every Stearns and Foster mattress features cooling technology to regulate your temperature while you sleep. Each model uses either the AirVent system, which circulates air throughout the mattress, moisture wicking Tencel, or a combination of both.‍
2. You need a mattress that's compatible with your adjustable base. Looking for a new quality mattress that works with your adjustable base? You're in luck! Every Stearns and Foster mattress is adjustable base compatible. ‍
3. You need to relieve aches and pains. With an advanced coil system, layers of quality memory foam, and the option to customize your comfort level, Stearns and Foster mattresses are great for alleviating aches and pains that your old mattress creates each morning

Why Avoid Stearns and Foster?

1. You're on a budget. Stearns and Foster mattresses use advanced sleep technology and quality materials, and their price certainly reflects this. This brand also offers zero financing options. If you're trying to save money on your next mattress purchase, Stearns and Foster isn't a great choice. ‍
2. You're looking for a memory foam mattress. While all of their beds are both comfortable and supportive, the IntelliCoil system prevents any Stearns and Foster model to provide that classic "sink in" feeling. If you're looking for an all foam model, Stearns and Foster simply can't deliver. In this case, we highly recommend trying the Loom & Leaf by Saatva instead. It's a luxury mattress built with ultra-premium memory foam. You can order directly from their website and have it shipped to your home with Saatva's free white glove delivery and setup service.

Final Takeaway
