This information is so valuable in educating people so they can make informed descions on what bed will be best for them physically and financially. Thank you.
Mattresses are a racket! Just bought a 2023 Sterns & Fosters Reserve, Medium, King from my cousin that can get them direct from the factory through Sealy. The MSRP is $5,200 and he got it to me delivered for $1,560. That’s 70% discount and they are still making a healthy profit of at least 200% on that transaction alone. The only thing sold today with better profit margins are Diamonds (which are a complete scam).
Yea the mark up is insane on the mattress industry. That's why everything is always on "sale". These things cost 1/5 minimum to make and ship versus what they charge.
I appreciate and saw your post today, Feb 1st, 2023 I decided to go with a Stearns & Foster, The Studio model. I have been trying to find a bed that will give me lower back support. Went from latex to purple, to an Intellibed, and not one gave me the support I am looking for. The Intellibed soft was a big mistake, I lay on this bed and felt the pain right away from lower back pain after having it for two years, today I am now going to try the Stearns & Foster Studio. My bed is a Twin XL does not mean a get a better price. I am praying tonight I will felt the support, the new bed will be a Medium Firm. Bought at Mattress Firm. Get 120 days to test it out. God Bless
I'm so glad you show and explain the anatomy of a S&F mattress! I've been very curious about what's inside these beautiful, expensive mattresses. I laid down on one in a store recently and thought it was extremely comfortable, but that price! Now I know the good and the over-hyped.Thanks!
If you have a Costco membership, they have them on sale right now, just bought one for around $1,300 king size including box mattress and taxes and free shipping.
@@victortrujillo2591 I looked into buying that one. I checked online reviews and they were not good for the S&F mattress they sell at Costco. It's like a Costco only one. Have you been enjoying it? I may reconsider.
@@ODK321 yes, I really like my S&F mattress. It feels like a firm mattress and I personally like this type of mattress, firm. If I had to do it again, I will definitely purchase another one. This Costco S&F mattress is seriously heavy. I am not able to lift it on my own.
Which model did you lay on? They have recent ‘innovations’ with the Hybrid models, the comfort layers are integrated right on top of the springs which gives totally independent conformance. VERY similar to what Carpe Diem beds started.
I bought this Stearns and Foster...the Hybrid version..a couple of years ago and love it. I did buy a closeout showroom floor sample with an adjustable base for $1600.00
Have an almost 3 yo Sterns&Foster Cassatt Ultra Plush EPT Queen. Slight dip where we lay all night but nothing serious. I am an edge side sleeper and the edge support is awesome. We rotate it every 6-8 months (heavy). It bends and recovers well on the adjustable base. Wife Unit is still happy so all is good. At 66+ yo, our hip and shoulder arthritis bothers us from time to time, but as this is also true on vacations, I don't think the mattress is to blame. 10/10 rating from our diva Yorkie, 8/10 from us (price and weight). Very well constructed. I miss our '80s Waveless Waterbed.
I would love to open up a McCroskey Mattress. I'm a fan of what they've done in the past, and what they're currently doing. If I can get a hold of one, I definitely would open it up.
I bought a sterns and foster king size mattress from MATHIS BROTHERS and it’s sagging and I can feel the springs . I only had the mattress for 2 1/2 yrs. I paid 2,400 dollars for the mattress .
We have a Hurston Estate Luxury Firm king size mattress. It started getting dips after the first month. We rotated monthly because of how much pain we had trying to sleep on it. I filed a warranty claim after a year and a half because the gullies were just getting worse. To file a claim you have to print their measuring paper, and do measurements with a broom handle across the bed. Then you have to lift the bed and stand it up because they want pictures of the foundation and frame. We were shocked to see that the frame we bought with the mattress is also sagging. We aren’t overweight, but I guess the heavy mattress was too much for the matching foundation. So, the dips when we sent the pictures were 1.5 one one side and slightly less on the other. It was rotated a week prior to that. Our claim was denied. Please research thoroughly before buying a Stearns and Foster. The price is high enough, but the quality isn’t!
@@ramkumarchandrasekar263 We love it. It's truly a medium feel which is what we wanted. I was Leary about a pillow top mattress, but they did a great job with the feel and support. It's also very quiet and doesn't cause a lot disturbance when switching positions. In reality Isleep longer on it. The quality is on par with their Lux Estate line which is what this is. The warranty card has Lux Estate on it. We also ordered the foundation for it from Costco. Costco has a great return policy if it doesn't work out for you.
@@i2thadean I initially did have a wood spring box, however, it failed about a year later and Costco took it back and exchanged it for a Hollywood metal box bed frame/platform. It's been great since. No complaints about it or the mattress.
I purchased a Stearns and Foster Pillowtop Sharondale Mattress 23 years ago. It had casmere in it and no foam! What is comparable to it? My mattress is finally wearing out!
I know! My Sharondale mattress still feels great! I hope to find another one like it one day. It’s now, 24 years old! I paid $3k 24 years ago. I would gladly pay more if I could get another one like it.
Stearns & Foster used to make true premium mattresses. Not anymore. As the video showed, they’re made of plastic (polyurethane-based foam). No lambswool, cashmere or any natural material whatsoever (not even latex). You’d have to buy a British-made luxury mattress to get something comparable to your old S&F
@@arlofs Exactly...for example Glencraft which uses only natural products ...wool etc..glencraft.luxury/ Unfortunately only available in Great Britain.
if after watching this video you buy a Sterns and Foster mattress your crazy. Their way overpriced and the guy who bought it a year ago returned it because it sagged in the middle. thanks to Pablo for pointing out the problem with S&F mattresses, besides the high prices too much memory foam and "micro coils" more memory foam. i was close to spending $7,000 today for two S&F twin xl mattresses but after seeing this video THANK YOU PABLO i'll do my homework and look for a better bed and sleep well tonight with my 7K.
Seriously the more layers the worse reliability you'll have. If you have a great mattress you don't need all that bs fluff to make it 17 inches thick lol.
Hi. Do you know if their estate rockwell luxury firm is also a secret hybrid bed? I hate hybrids, but the rockwell feels nice, I'm just scared it will dip in a yr. Thanks.
Thanks for this. In your opinion, would you say the Firm and Tight Hepburn model or the Tempur Pedic pro adapt medium hybrid is of better quality with better longevity?
Are you saying by less is more just put latex on springs? 😂 The only difference between S&F and a custom made mattress is price. If it was flat out superior to just put latex on springs everyone would be doing it.
I just purchased a high end steans and foster they never once mentioned the nano spings in the top portion in the pillow top !?! Ive also have not read about them eitherzz???
Hi @jefffisher1045, it is a bit more challenging to accomplish the softness with latex but still possible, or at least get close. However if you layer it the right way you can accomplish the softness. Our 12” Presidio soft would be the one I would go to
I was trying to find out what makes my mattress sag ?? Do they all sag ? So you just pick the one you like at the moment ? I want it to last , or is that not going to happen ? Thanks you great review .....
they all sag with the possible exception of latex; it sounds cliched, but in the case of mattresses they just don't make them like they did 20 years ago...

Hey guys. You are doing an amazing job here.. I once visited a local store tried their Stearns and foster Rockwell. Was so good. But is it the same as the Lakerbridge model that Costco sells at a cheaper rate?? What is your opinion on the Costco model which is priced at be 1k $
Definitely can feel that the inner foams are cheaper. The outside is high quality. Nothing but firm, I couldnt fee any give or plushness despite being fluffy on top. I have never returned a product so quickly. Stay away unless you need something pretty and super firm.
