Stearns and Foster Comparison and Review

It's a step down from the Estate collection sold elsewhere. It's only a minor difference, but they use thicker layers of the more basic foams.

It's difficult to find a mattress that is built like an old Stearns. Maybe an Aireloom or Vispring something along those lines. Unfortunately, I have no idea what is available in Hawaii.

Thank you for your informative write up it very helpful. Can you give me your option on the Kirkland Signature™ by Stearns & Foster® Hope Bay | Pillowtop Cushion Firm. Here are some of it's features & materials: PrimaCool™ Performance Fabric Stretch-knit fabric; AdvancedAdapt™ Foam; PrimaSense™ Gel Foam; IntelliCoil® Advanced; PrecisionEdge™ System; and Stearns & Foster® Air Vents. The Queen weighs 134# and retails at Costco for $999. Any information or insight you can provide is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Our Stearns & Foster Cal King = 24 years old & needs to go. After hours of "research", we settled on Saatva Cal King mattress (only) but it turns out they do not ship to Hawaii. Shippers want $300 -$500 to ship it. Can you recommend a Cal King alternative top Saatva? We do not think a bed-in-abox will serve use wee. Thank you.

We just looked at the Sterns and Foster Oak Terrace Lux Plush. Can you tell me how firm/soft the rating is?

I flund a sterns and foster reserve no 2 made in april 2018 for $ 2360 plus two sealy reflexion 4 bases with it. Dies the price make it an acceptable deal or is the quality not great no matywr waht?

ella grace luxury firm - looking for a tight top-queen or king - penny's carries - what is comparison

I inherited a "Branford" Stearns and Foster queen mattress set from my parents in 2005. We are still sleeping on it, though it is a bit too firm for our tastes. I suspect that they purchased the set sometime in the late 80's, or early 90's. Can you tell me when this particular model was sold? They probably purchased it in Texas when they moved from Arkansas, back to Texas, where they had lived most of their lives.

Where does the Kirkland Signature by Stearns & Foster Hope Bay mattress fall on your chart?

I have a Sterns & Foster "Hastings Buckingham mattress from 1999. What is the name of the equivalent mattress today.

Difference between SF Kirkland King HopeBay Lux Cushion firm Euro vs SF Estate Lux Everwood from Macys

We are side sleepers and my husband has back problems. Just checked out S & F Founder's Collection firm at The Brick. What can we compare this with and has it been reviewed? Thx

I'm interested in a review of Stearns and Foster 2017 McKee, ultra firm king-size mattress. I want hard surface that will remain that way.

Boscovs have a s&f Villa brindisi lux firm?

What is Raymours & Flanigans brand name equivalent to Macys S&F Estate Garrick Luxury Firm

I don't see any names offered by Brandsmart. Are Baywood #518757, Scarborough IV, and Scarborough V among the models listed above? If so, where do they fall? What do you know about them? On the floor they talk about all of the good stuff, more and heavier coils, extra strength abound the edges, memory foam, etc. I need to know now because i am buying a new mattress. Thank you

Just purchased a S&F Reserve No. 2. In King for $3000 including tax, delivery, and mattress pad. More than we wanted to spend but never felt a mattress so amazing in the 150 we tried.

My friend bought her S&F mattress from a mattress discount store. It's a king-size, lux estate hybrid plush called la campiano. I went to do the same but in the queen the plush was named Caldera. I think hers is softer but don't know what I could exchange to fit something equivalent to hers. Any ideas? They're both plush but is there a regular plush vs a softer plush? I still wake up with hip pain when I sleep on my side and she no longer does, and that's my goal. Thanks in advance.

I just bought a new S & F plush w. euro top for $500 w. box spring. I am so excited at the comfort for the price and am ok with a shorter lifespan at that price.

what about the stearns & foster la castello 11 luxury plush we just purchased one for &1399.99 adn could still cancel it if the price is not right. Not delovered until friday Help!!

What about the Oak Terrace pillow top

Fairmont has the Stearns and Foster (both for Canada and US). What lineup is this a part of or what is it comparable to? Thanks.

Hi Looking at lux estate hybrid collection. Caldera line King running 4711.99 Any comments to help. We are overwhelmed

That's the Gabriella Marie Cushion Firm, in the Lux Estate collection.

That's the same as the Bella Claire Plush Pillowtop on my chart and ones in that row.

I am looking at a S/F Cal.King mattress that says Evening Stone as the model. Is this mattress firm or soft? Sold at Ashley furniture stores in Calif. Thanks

Can you tell me where the Hannah grace plush Euro top falls and if you’ve heard anything? This is our third s&f and we love them.

The Kirkland Signature line is a small step below the Estate collection that many other places sell. Kirkland Signature is an exclusive to Costco.

Greetings, I found a mattress at Macy's I really like: Stearns and Fosters' Garrick Luxury Firm from their Estate Collection. It's right in the comfort level between firm and extra firm that I've been looking for and is hard to find. I was distressed to read the label and see that there is cashmere woven into the top layer, and my hands were itching within 5 minutes of having touched the surface. Rats! Do you know if Stearns and Foster makes any mattresses without "threads of silk and cashmere"? Or is it possible to special-order this mattress without the wool? I am amazed they would have as an essential component something so many are so allergic to. Many thanks for your help.

1) I am choosing between the following two Stearns and Foster queen mattresses: Hustonville cushion firm pillowtop and Estate Collection Garrick cushion firm euro pillowtop. Sears and Macy's are being quite evasive in evaluating my choice so I'd appreciate your input; 2) I would like to purchase a very basic elevating mechanism that raises both ends of the mattress. Both Sears and Macy's have what they call a "Universal" unit vs. a nicer model. Price for the former is $799 and for the latter, it ranges up to roughly $1,300. The head and foot raising is the only feature I need. Have you heard whether their Universal units are reliable? Thanks very much for your help.

i purchased a stearns & foster estate garrick luxury plus mattress from Macys. It is a King size and on a platform bed (with slats.) a few months after sleeping on it we noticed the mattress sinking on each end-it felt like the middle was higher. We called Macys and they came out and did measure and agreed to the sinking. They would not replace the mattress because they said under warranty you needed a bunky board. We were so upset because the salesman at Macys said if you want a higher bed buy a boxspring if not lay it on the slats. You go to Macys thinking you have knowledgeable sales people, NOT! At any rate, I purchased the bunky board and i hope they do not say there was a certain type i needed. I am so upset as we paid good money for this mattress and you feel like you are climbing a bit of a hill if you try to roll to the middle of the bed. Really stinks. It was purchased in April of 2016 but we only used it for about 6 mo as it is a seasonal condo. Wonder if others had this issue with the S and F mattresses. Thank you in advance

Hi, I found a Stearns & Foster mattress I liked at a local retailer here in Idaho. They have it named the "Oak Terrace V" Estate Collection. Could you tell me what that translates to at major retailers?

I don't have experience with it, no. I've just looked at the specs and compared them to the specs at other retailers to make sure they're the same mattress. It seems to use decent materials (and I like what I see in this year's models better than the older models they replaced), but I don't have any first-hand experience.

Have you had experience with the Stearns and Foster Bella Claire Luxury Firm Queen size mattress? I have one coming as a Sealy pillowtop exchange and now am looking at reviews and hope I did the right thing. Thank you, Steve

it is the Lakelet Hybrid

Can you tell me what the equivalent is for the S+F Estate Luxury Lake Hybrid TT sold at Art Van Furniture?

I purchased a S&F matttess in January 2017 and absolutely love it. It is the most come come all mattress I have ever slept on. I would buy another Stearns and Foster in the future. I cannot speak so much to the long Jevity, since I’m only coming up on a year. But in terms of initial come for the mattress is extraordinary. Also, I generally like for mattresses but I did find that the Stearns and Foster mattresses are firmer than most. You should keep that in mind when purchasing. You may need to purchase a S&F with less firmness.

Stearns & Foster -off gassing? My new mattress is literally, making me sick. Have you heard of this?

Thanks for writing. It's the same as the Addison Grace and ones in that row.

I don't see the Estate Oak Terrace mattress in your S&F models listing breakdown. Can you tell me which model that is on your list it could also be named. thanks

The Lux Estate line uses better quality materials in the mattress. The ones at Costco are just a slight step below the Estate collection, but it's close.

What is the key difference between Estate and Lux Estate lines? Prices are quite different. Also, Cisco also carries a Stearns and Foster mattress at a much lower price. Is the quality comparable to the ones sold at Sears and Macy's?

This year's Stearns models are better than last year's, in my opinion. And they do have some of the hardest mattresses around in their extra-firm models. (Many other places will have some padding on their extra firm models. Stearns has always been willing to go even further).

Hi! My husband and I bought a Sealy Posturpedic mattress a few years ago and it's not working for my husband who is a 260 lb. bodybuilder who suffers from severe back pain. He does not care for memory foam mattresses. He gets too hot and he wants a very firm mattress . We were leaning towards a Sterns and Foster Estate Bridle 1 but after reading some of the comments I am having second thoughts. Any suggestions? We are desperate.

You can't really find good deals on Stearns because it's a "MAP" product, meaning there's a Minimum Advertised Price it can be sold at. The Sealy Premium models on my Sealy comparison chart will be a similar quality.

Hi, now I tried the Middleton at sears , & it is my favorite of all of them . The issue is the price. Sears/Macys will now go down from almost a 2,000 point. Any suggestions to a compreble sealy ? Thanks

One thing to keep in mind is you can always make a mattress softer by adding a topper. There is no practical way to make a mattress firmer if it's too soft. So I'd recommend the firmer of the two.

I have narrowed down to the stearns Foster luxury firm tight top/ Hustonville& macysGarrick luxury firm to the luxury firm palace at macys. The palace had more Cush, the other is firmer. I'm afraid the palace will get saggy and the tight top will be too firm . I can't decide . Can you help ? I'm a very heavy woman. But don't want to wake up W vscksche, or too soft of a bed . Thanks

The Hope Bay is a slight step down from the Estate collection. It's not a big difference, but the nicer layer of memory foam is a little thinner from what I can tell.

how does stearns and foster palace luxury firm mattress compare to kirkland signature by stearns and foster hope bay?

Stearns and Foster is the best mattress I have ever owned. THEIR California King Lasted years and years and never lost its shape. There really is no comparison.

I wouldn't go as far as you do. A few years ago, the S&F weren't really that good compared to the price they were selling for. This year's models seem to be nicer and focus on actual quality materials rather than materials that just "sound luxurious." It's more sensible to pay $3,000 for high grade memory foam and latex, and not for "Mongolian Horse Hair" for example.

It's a slight step below the Estate Collection, but it's still okay.

It's a shame that so few of the commenters below cannot take responsibility for their own choices. What with hiding being a moniker online and FLAMING about how bad Stearns & Foster is or how we should all stay away from this brand because they had one bad experience. FACT: Stearns and Foster has been in business under the same name for the past 170+ years. Whereas any manufacturer has created a full model lineup from the c.$1,500 Estate up to the c.$3,900 Reserve models, you'll buy the cheapest one (because you're cheap but want to brag that you have a S&F) like it somewhat, and several years later buy a higher cost Estate or even the Lux Estate and then eventually you'll buy the Reserve. If you are on the fence about a S&F, it is the Reserve line of beds that has kept them in business for the past 170 years. Buy the reserve. If you're unhappy with that, try the Posh+Lavish. If you're still unhappy, stop reading the blogs and buy one because you really like it.

What do you think of the Sterns and Foster mattress that Costco (Kirkland) is selling? Is that a good mattress?

What about the Beautyrest Vivianne Plush in comparison to S&F Salzburg lux Plush Pillowtop? Shopping now for a new mattress in their range.

Hello - I am considering the Stearns & Foster Hustonville Luxury Firm Tight Top. I sleep on my side as well as my back. This mattress I found comfortable for me but am concerned after reading articles about Stearns & Foster with regards to customer satisfaction and how long it might last. What might I expect? I was also considering the Sealy Rosati Ultra Firm with maybe a topper of perhaps an inch or a little more to give me a tad bit cushion. Pillow tops are out. What are your thoughts? I have been looking at Sears. Thank you

english meadows or blisswood plush firm THESE ARE WAY TOO FIRM!! It appears you will be fooled by the fancy name..These cause pain! Otherwise healthy very active athletic adult sleeping on this has been a nightmare as it just seems way too hard - can NOT sleep on side at all or back slept on a serta at a Hilton and slept through night! I am going to switch brands now. I will say that the mattress HOLDS UP .most likely because it is a DENSE PACKED hard potato eve nthough it says LUXURY PLUSH FIRM ... Give me a break.

Hello - I'm looking to purchase the Stearns and Foster "Misty Forest" mattress, any recommendations or reviews? I previously bought the Kingsdown Ventura mattress and within weeks there was noticeable body impressions so still under our warranty we're making an exchange. Just worried we could exchange to a new mattress and have the same situation. (I weight 120 lbs and my husband 180lbs). Thank you!

Just curious... the Stearns and Foster Garrick 14.5 Eurotop luxury firm I just looked at in Macys said the cover was made out of the silk-infused cover. I didn't see Tencel mentioned anywhere. Does that mean these are still the 2016's? Thanks.

We are getting ready to purchase S&F Scarborough or Estate Bella Claire luxury plush Euro top. Is this one of the newer 2017 models. I too am concerned with all bad reviews I am reading. Pls advise. Thanks

Unfortunately, I have no way of knowing what type of mattress would be best for you. You seem to have tried quite a wide range of mattress types, and none have worked for you. Have you ever tried a latex mattress? That might be a possibility. They won't get as hot as memory foam and you won't sink as far into it, just don't get one that's too firm.

Hi, We are on our third mattress in 5 months. 1st mattress was a tempurpedic hybrid which was super firm! 2nd was a tempurpedic cloud which was nice until 4 hours into sleep and it was hot and lost all support. Now we have a Stearns and foster Scarborough. I'm 225, my wife is 110. We are both 30 years old. She is comfortable but we are about 60 days in and now I'm starting to have pressure point pain in hips and shoulders waking up constantly with my hands and arms falling asleep. We are wondering if we should return it as well and go to somewhere like denver mattress or get an online only mattress which scares us trying something untested. We just are getting discouraged. Thank you for your help.

I don't know that there is one particular "best" one. If there was, that would really simplify things. Airelooms and Visprings would be major contenders for that title, I'm sure.

I've heard some things, but I don't know how prevalent the issue is. They are big air chambers, so I'd imagine if you live in a humid environment it might be an issue.

Also, in your opinion what is the best innerspring mattress?

Thank you and or warranty would kick in. Have you heard about the sleep number and mold? We were sold on the sleep number until I saw that.

The current model year of Stearns and Foster seems to be a little better of a value than in previous years, and the customer reviews have gotten a little better since then. But, it's impossible to say for sure how it will hold up in, say, 7 years. All I know that from the specs, it should be a reasonably good mattress.

I am looking to buy either the Sterns and Foster Garrick Plush PillowTop or a Sleep Number p4. I am reading bad reviews about both. Can you give me some info on the Garrick? We keep going back to this one it is very comfortable in the store. The Sleep Number bad reviews says it gets mold. Please help need to make a decision. My old mattress is getting picked up soon.

Three nights isn't really enough to break in the mattress. I'd definitely give it about 2 or 3 weeks before making that decision.

We just bought the Stearns & Foster Reserve #3 and it feels way too firm. We have only had it for 3 nights so far. Does it get softer with some time and if so about how long? We have a 120 day guarantee, so I can exchange it. But the Reserve #1 seemed like we "sank" in too much i the store.

I saw a Stearns and Foster Estate Luxury Plush Mattress called Scarborough II at Darvin Furniture and Tom's Price in the Chicagoland area. Could you tell me what mattress I can compare it to on the chart?

Hi, we are both obese seniors and need to replace our 20 year old Stearns and Foster Firm low end mattress. We were thinking about the Stearns and Foster estate ( no pillow topper ) Firm mattress. Sears, Macy's and Art Van mattress store are near us. Do you have any idea of the Art Van names for the estate Starns and Foster series. Ps. This is a great site. Thank you for your time spent on the research and sharing it. With Gratitude, Rick and Carol Cerda

A step down in the S&F lineup would be comparable in comfort and less expensive. They're already high end mattresses, and you don't gain too much by going all the way up to that level. Adjustable bases are generally very expensive, so if you can get one of those for free, it's a great deal.

I went shopping for a mattress today and my favorite was the S&F Reserve 3. Is there a mattress comparable in comfort that might be a bit less expensive? Also, for the Labor Day sales, a few stores are offering free adjustable bed bases or discounts on adjustable bases. What is your opinion on them?

I purchased the S&F Pineville Luxury Firm Euro Pillowtop from Sears and it is too firm for me but my husband likes it. Do you think the Owentown Luxury Plush will be too soft? I know it's a hard question to answer online, but I'm concerned more about the comparison between the two and can't find any info about it online. Thank you!

Unfortunately I am not familiar with the Kexby. The model looks to be over 10 years old, and there is nothing on the market that will be the same. You could try one of the online direct-to-consumer models. The Saatva (review here: https://www.mattressnerd.com/saatva-review/) reminds me a lot of old Stearns and Foster mattresses, and they have a free return policy, so it might be worth a try, and if you don't like it, return it and try one of the other ones.

Help! My husband and I moved into a new home with a bedroom big enough for a king size bed. We have bought the frame and just now need a king mattress and box springs. We have been sleeping on the S&F Kexby which is no longer made. We have looked at the S&F Baywood and The Reserve II at Sprintz Furniture in Franklin, TN. Our salesperson has not been so forthcoming when we ask about comparisons to Kexby. We are senior citizens who are both heavy so need good support but like it to feel soft, but not so soft we can't turn over.. I have been researching and can't compare because of all the different names. I also heard about another brand that is made for heavy people. What do you suggest?

That's the same as the Addison Grace Plush Euro Pillowtop and the ones in that row.

Stearns and Foster® Ella Grace Luxury Plush EPT - Mattress + Box Spring for $1940.00 with 30% off, is that good, the reviews are great. HELP, want to order today, thanks so much

Just baught a stearns and foster la fiorentini iv...should I be worried?

Price and what kind is it Villa Naples at Boscov's

That one is a new model. It came out near the end of 2016.

Looking at buying S&F Sonya rose. Have ready a lot of bad reviews about beds sagging Do you know if this is a new model or falls under 2014-2016? Love the way it felt in store

Trying to compare Sterns and Foster mattresses at Raymour and Flanigan and Mattress Firm Mattress Firm model is Candidate 11 Lux Firm and Bridle Plush Raymour and Flanigan is Estate LaFiorenti 11

Oh, that's an interesting one. Where did you see it? A google search turns up Mattress Discounters, which is now owned by Mattress Firm. But the company that sells Stearns, TempurSealy, had a falling-out with Mattress Firm, and they are now suing one another. So, I was surprised to see Stearns still listed on the Mattress Discounters site. They had an exclusive lineup, so it won't be an exact match, but the closest comparison will be the Kenna Rose and ones in that row on the comparison chart. The Kenna Rose will have 1" less of one type of foam and about 0.5" more of a different type. Other than that, they're the same.

Could you provide a comparison for the Echo Grove by Stearns and foster? Thank you

In the article, I mention that this year the designs look stronger than they used to. Read the section under the heading Stearns & Foster Review. The higher-end Sealys will be a similar quality to the lower-end Stearns & Fosters. If you like the S&F the best, that's likely going to be a fine choice for you.

My wife and I just visited a Sleep Outfitters where we narrowed our options down to a Sealy Performance Response People's Choice Plush Pillowtop for $1399 (king set), a Sealy Premium Response Academy Award Plush Pillowtop for $1899, and then the sales associate showed us a S&F Estate La Emilia V Plush Euro PT marked $2699 but he could bring it down to $1900. We couldn't feel much difference between the two Sealy's, but we liked the S&F. The associate did say that S&F had bad reviews from 2014-2106, but they changed the design for 2017 and it's much better. I'm driving myself crazy trying to look up accurate reviews and research for these three options until I found your website. Any advice & expertise would bring some much needed clarity to this confusing purchasing decision. My questions are mainly 1. How does the quality compare on these three options (or are there other similar models I should be looking at?)?, and 2. Is it true about S&F making quality upgrades in their designs? Thank you in advance!

The Kirkland Signature collection (Exclusive to Costco) is a slight step below the Estate Collection.

Is Costco S&F Hope Bay compariablebto what other name in other store

What do you know about the Costco "Hope Bay mattress "?

The salesman is lying to you. It's the exact same mattress as the Hutsonville or Garrick.

The Beautyrest Black is going to be a little bit of a step up from the Beautyrest Platinum. They use different coils and different foams. The Balerno is an old model S&F. It is not a better quality than the Beautyrest Black line. It's more in line with the Beautyrest Platinum.

Hello, I stopped by a furniture store that was selling the Beautyrest Platinum Brittany Luxury extra Firm($1399) and the Black Desiree Luxury Firm ($1999). Do you know the quality and the difference between them? Also, I went to a warehouse where this guy is a wholesaler and he has the Stearns and Foster Signature Balerno Luxury firm Euro Pillowtop (asking for $1025). Does the S&F is a better quality then the Beautyrest Black line and does the S&F model is the current model or older model? Please help provide me your expertise on these mattresses. Thank you

I'm looking at the Oak Terrace II Stearns & Foster estate collection mattress at All American mattress in Md. It's non pillow top, it's priced around the same as the Hutsonville at Sears and the Garrick at Macy's. Would you know if it's comparable to those? The salesman is saying that the Oak Terrace has more coils but really, how does one know for sure? The height is the same and most of the other specifications match up.

The Kirkland Signature line is a step below anything on the chart. Only Costco sells it, so you can't compare it elsewhere, but it uses different foams in the top layer compared to the Estate collection.

I want to buy another mattress just like my old stearns and foster dovenby double pillow top can you let me know what it's compared to now, thank you

Thank you for your review. Costco is selling the Kirkland Signature™ by Stearns & Foster® Hope Bay | Pillowtop Cushion Firm. There are no reviews listed on the Costco website. Do you know which mattresses this compares to on your comparison chart. And, do you have any knowledge as to it's quality?

Penshaw s&f vs hope bay -sold at Cisco do you know what the firmness difference is

If you just bought it, it hasn't broken in yet. The foams will always be stiffer when you first get it, until the "cells" in the foam break open. Give it a week or two.

I have just bought a Stearns and Foster River Place GS LXP mattress and find it a bit hard. Is this a common complaint. I have it on trial and wonder if I should return it and what should I replace it with that wont sag.

How is the loom leaf mattress by saatva for side sleepers, I heard good reviews for side sleeping.

How is it for side sleeping? I heard it has good reviews.

Thanks for the comment. I recommend them as an alternative to Tempurpedic on this page: Tempurpedic Alternatives

Cancelled my order and my wife and I are now sleeping happily on a loom leaf mattress by saatva. Amazingly similar to the tempur we tried and almost half the cost.

I just purchased a Sterns & Fosters Lux King 518760K. My wife and I were wowed by the Tempur-pedic, but it was out of my price range. The salesman took me us to see the SF and it was similar enough and 25% less so we decided to go with it. After reading the reviews posted here and on other sites, I will be cancelling my order. As a matter of fact, I'm on hold with the cancellations department right now!!

We just got the elite cortona highbird for 45 days but was able to exchange it since it was only 45 days it was just 2 hard we got the softer version now it's elite graniao luxury highbird they was selling for 2,500 but I got the 1st one for 1,400 then when I exchange I only had to pay another 125 plus tax so I'm happy if anything atleast I didn't let them jewelry me in paying full or almost full retail cause I keeped going in and letting them know if they would give me a good enough deal I would not only buy 1 and the lifting base but I have cash plus it was at the end of the year and they really needed to make there quota for the year so li,e I said wasn't to happy on the 1st but I believe that was my bad cause I got it to hard so now I got the softer one we will see how it does

What mattress is close to a felicity c

My experience differs. bought Stearns and Foster Thornham Cal King. 3 years now. Best mattress I have ever owned. no sinking at all.

Do not buy unless you hate your bed mate. Had 2 matresses sterns and Foster in 2 years. Both stink. One I have now is next to top of the line. It is horrible. Each side develops pits where you sleep. Turning over is hard. King bed develop a hump in the middle that is hard. Had adults jump on middle to break the jump with no luck. I have bad back wife had bad neck. Bed has made our problems worse. Don't buy it garbage

Thanks for sharing your bad experienced on S&F. I was looking to purchase the S&F mattres set for my elderly mother but after reading your review I better stay away from this brand.

I agree completely. This is the worst mattress that I have ever slept on. I can feel every spring. It is lumpy and inconsistent. I have bruises on my hip from turning over at night. I tried to return it shortly after I purchased it, but the man that came refused to sit or lay on the bed, but only measured it and said it was in perfect shape. It was expensive and I have not finished paying for it. I cannot at this time buy another because I am a senior citizen on a fixed income. The mattress is thick, heavy and difficult to make up. I will get rid of it as soon as I am able.

Just letting you know I redacted part of your comment. I can't have people called out by name in my comments section.

Purchased a S&F Luxury Estate mattress 4 years ago and it has been the worst mattress I've ever owned. Do not buy this brand. Company says it must have a 1 1/2" dip, but the padding rebounds to 1"; therefore, the manufacturer will no allow for replacement. I regret ever making this purchase. Each night is a horrible sleeping experience. I wake up in a crater daily with back and neck pain. I bought this mattress because it was supposed to be the best, but it has been a very large and expensive disappointment. If you call the manufacturer, you will get absolutely no help, but you will be treated rudely by both the customer service specialist and management [redacted personal information]. Stay away from this mattress, you will almost immediately regret your decision, I know I did. I also noticed that I am not alone in this unfortunate situation, I've recently read review after review of people having the exact same problem as I do. It is quite clear that this was a poor purchase and I recommend that you stay away from any product associated with Stearns and Foster.

I like a Sealy Culworth firm. What other Sealy is compatible to it.
