The broad category of mattresses offered by Stearns and Foster gives sleepers a variety of options to choose from. But this can be exhaustive, and the choice can be difficult to make. Now to help with your decision as to which one is the most suitable, we at www.smartmattressbuy.com have detailed each mattress model in terms of different features like construction, performance, sleeping positions, price, and pros & cons associated with each model.

Stearns and Foster Estate is this popular brand’s entry-level, most affordable model. The mattress features premium layers of gel foam, a breathable soft cover made of TENCEL™, and a dual coil IntelliCoil® design that offers a high level of support all throughout the night. This coil design was created in 2009 by the company’s spring experts, offering unparalleled support in each mattress model. The design features a larger exterior coil that provides a softer feel and responds to even the lightest of touch. A smaller coil is nested within the larger coil that helps distribute the body weight and offers the necessary support to all sleepers. The more the pressure on the coils, the more support it provides. The individual coils together work as one, thus minimizing motion transfer and offering customized support to each sleeper once they lie on their beds. These ventilated coils, together with external copper air vents, keep heat from building up in the mattress, helping in sleeping cooler all night. TENCEL™ used in the cover of the Estate model is an eco-friendly fabric made with renewal bio fibers like wood making it degradable and compostable. It helps in breathability, giving a refreshing cool-to-touch feel that helps achieve good sleep each night.

The dense pack arrangement reduces motion transfer to a great extent. Added external air vents and premium coils help to sleep cooler by keeping the mattress well ventilated all night. Indulge HD Memory foam, being denser than Indulge Memory Foam, helps in added pressure relief and luxurious comfort all night. The Lux Estate model has two offerings in its catalog: Lux Estate Cassatt and Lux Estate Hybrid Pollock. The Hybrid Pollock is an upgrade over the Cassatt and features the added support of IntelliCoil® Micro Layer innerspring, a variation of the IntelliCoil® technology that stretches throughout the mattress offering a long-lasting supportive feel and comfort.

Material & Construction

Q1. Can you guide us through the construction of different Stearns and Foster Estate mattress models?

Stearns and Foster Estate mattresses have various firmness options and price points. The thicker the mattress, the costlier it is. Features like the pillow top with additional cushioning also add to the price. Depending on the model, the comfort layers may have slight differences; otherwise, both models’ support systems and cover material are identical.

Both Stearns and Foster Estate mattress model features a knitted cover made of Tencel, which draws heat away from the body, keeping you cool all night. The comfort layer in Estate Hurston comprises gel-memory foam that cushions the natural curves of the body to relieve pressure from the hips and shoulders, while the upgrade Estate Rockwell features Indulge Memory foam exclusive to Stearns and Foster, offering enhanced pressure relief and comfort. Next to the comfort layer is the IntelliCoil® design that has two types of coils nested into one another to help sleepers enjoy support in all sleeping positions. The larger coils at the exterior are lighter, offering a conforming and softer feel the moment you lie down. The interior coils are cone-shaped and respond quickly, offering the desired support to sleepers of all body weight irrespective of their sleeping position. With more pressure on the coil, sleepers experience optimal support, thus enjoying a night of restful sleep. To make the support system stronger, the borders of the mattresses have high-density coils offering exceptional edge support, ensuring the durability of the beds over time. This Precisionedge™ support makes the edges robust, allowing to sit or sleep near the bed’s perimeter feel safe. Stronger edges make the usable surface area of the bed bigger, an advantage for couples. The coils in the support core (IntelliCoil®) are ventilated, which works well with external copper vents to increase airflow through the mattress. This prevents heat build-up at the base, increases breathability, and helps to sleep cool throughout the night.

The Standard luxury models in both Stearns and Foster Estate with tight stitched surface offers a responsive sleeping experience, while the Pillow top variants feature an added layer of upholstery, sewn on top conforms closely, giving you total comfort and relaxation as you lay on the mattress. Woven handles at the side and a hand-signed label of Stearns and Foster Estate provides the mattress with an elegant look that enhances the beauty of the bed and room.

Mattress Review and Rating

Q1. How would you rate Stearns and Foster Estate in terms of performance?

Repositioning

The coils in the support core of the Stearns and Foster Estate mattress offer plenty of bounce, making it easier to move around. The Intellicoil® is a nested coil design with the larger coils in the exterior responding to even the slightest touch. The smaller coils within the larger coils provide a quick response distributing the body weight and necessary support to all sleepers. The design of each Stearns and Foster Estate mattress model reduces the trapped feeling in the bed. Different firmness variations in both models allow you to choose the right one per your preference and need.

Comfort, Back Support, Pressure Relief

With its hybrid construction, Stearns and Foster Estate mattress offers superior pressure relief and even body weight distribution. Gel-infused memory foam in Estate Hurston’s comfort system cradles the different body parts effectively to relieve the various pressure points. The gel foam adapts to the natural body curves providing them with cushion and support. Indulge Memory Foam in the comfort layers of the Estate Rockwell model is designed to provide enhanced pressure relief from the time you lay on the mattress. The intertwined coil design at the base of both models offers adaptive support to all types of sleepers. The coil design is responsive and aids in providing enhanced support keeping the spine appropriately aligned. This ensures you enjoy the ultimate sleeping experience and wake up refreshed each morning.

Cooling & Temperature Control

Hybrid mattresses regulate temperature better than all-foam models. The Stearns and Foster Estate mattress models come with advanced cooling technology unique to their collection, providing more cooling than other mattresses. This helps you fall asleep faster and keep you comfortable throughout the night.

Each model of Stearns and Foster Estate mattress features a Tencel-made fabric cover that wick away moisture from the body, keeping you fresh and sweat-free all night. Gel-infused memory foam in the Estate Hurston prevents heat from building up in the comfort layers and makes the surface feel cold on touching. The coil design at the support core is ventilated and, combined with external air vents, increases breathability and allows greater airflow throughout the mattress, keeping it cool and allowing you to sleep comfortably.

Motion Isolation and Sharing a Bed

Stearns and Foster Estate mattress models use gel-based memory foam and Indulge memory foam in the comfort system, which absorbs motion significantly. Though the Intellicoil® coil support system is highly responsive, it is designed such that each coil works together to minimize motion transfer and offer customized support to all sleepers. Indulge memory foam in the Estate Rockwell model absorbs more motion compared to the Estate Hurston model. The Firm variant in the standard and pillow-top models of both Estate Hurston and Estate Rockwell may transfer some motion, so it may not be ideal if you or your partner tends to toss and frequently turn in the night. The Cushion Firm variant of the Estate Hurston isolates motion well, though some movements may be felt across the surface when partners change position or get in and out of bed. The Plush versions in both models use soft foam, thus absorbing motion to a great extent allowing a night of disturbance-free sleep.

Edge Support

Stearns and Foster Estate mattress has superior edge support with 1500+ premium coils. These 1500 PrecisionEdge™ coils are of high density and border the edges providing durable support to the bed and keeping its shape intact. The coil design prevents the mattress from sagging, thus making it safe to sleep or sit near the edges. The standard luxury and pillow top versions of Estate Hurston and Estate Rockwell offer good edge support, with the Firm and Cushion Firm variants being sturdier than the rest.

Recommendation based on sleeping style

Q. How would you describe the Stearns and Foster Estate mattress based on individual sleeping style?

The Stearns and Foster Estate mattress collection have mattresses catering to the need of all types of sleepers as its collection has offerings from firm to plush.

• Side Sleepers: Side sleepers put pressure on their hips and shoulders; thus, these areas press against the mattress leading to pressure points. Stearns and Foster Estate Hurston with gel-infused memory foam and a unique coil design cushions the hips and shoulders of side sleepers, thus easing pressure build-up in these areas. The coil and foam design support the spine keeping it aligned appropriately. Indulge Memory foam in the Estate Rockwell adapts to the natural body curves offering superior pressure relief in the pressure points, thus making it a choice of side sleepers. The Plush variants in both Estate models will suit side sleepers in the lightweight category, while the Firm variants may offer some comfort to heavyweight individuals and plus-sized people. The Cushion Firm variant will be enjoyable for side sleepers in the average weight category.
• Back Sleepers: Sleeping on the back is the best position to sleep, as it maintains the natural posture, keeping the spine appropriately aligned. Contouring and support are essential for back sleepers. Gel-infused memory foam and Indulge Memory foam in Stearns and Foster Estate mattress models offer close conforming, allowing ample support and pressure relief under the lower back and spine. The coil within coil design at the support system combined with the feel of the memory foam layers makes both models of Stearns and Foster Estate an excellent choice for back sleepers. The Cushion Firm and Firm variants will provide more support, promoting a healthy spine and sleep posture. In contrast, the Plush variants in both models are less likely to suit back sleepers as they might experience some sinking in the midsection leading to spinal misalignment.
• Stomach Sleepers: Stomach sleepers need a firm, supportive mattress to keep their hips and abdomen from sinking deep into the bed. This averts pressure build-up in the lower back. Stearns and Foster Estate Hurston with gel-infused memory foam and nested coil design will help cushion the stomach sleepers’ bodies, giving them the much-needed support in the abdomen. Indulge Memory foam in the Estate Rockwell will offer enhanced support by adapting to body curves while sleeping on the stomach. The Firm variants will support stomach sleepers across all weight groups, while the Cushion Firm will support average-weight stomach sleepers. The Plush variants may also support lightweight sleepers, but heavier individuals will sink deep, causing undue pressure on the back and spine.
• Combination Sleepers: Combination sleepers keep changing positions; thus, they need a good, responsive mattress. With varied comfort options offered by the Stearns and Foster Estate, combination sleepers have a wide list to choose from as per their preference. Memory foam layers in both models of Stearns and Foster Estate adapt quickly to changing positions allowing the mattress to regain its shape quickly. The unique coil design at the base is a further addition to the comfort level of combination sleepers as it supports the body in all sleeping positions.

• Back Sleepers: Sleeping on the back maintains the natural posture, keeping the spine appropriately aligned. Contouring and support are essential for back sleepers. Intellicoil® HD and IntelliCoil® Micro HD layer offers exceptional support to back sleepers. Intellicoil® HD supports the body in two stages, with the outer coil delivering an initial soft sink and the inner coil offering the underlying firmness required to support back sleepers across all body weights.
• Stomach Sleepers: Stomach sleepers need a firm, supportive mattress to keep their hips and abdomen from sinking deep into the bed. This averts pressure build-up in the lower back. Stearns and Foster Reserve Hepburn model with Indulge HD memory foam and IntelliCoil® technology support stomach sleepers, offering them the much-needed support in the abdomen. The coils are designed to support the natural body curves irrespective of the sleeping position. High-density foam in the comfort layer prevents the body from sinking too deep into the mattress, keeping the body well elevated to maintain a neutral posture. The Firm variant of the Reserve Hepburn model supports stomach sleepers across all weight groups, while the Plush variants may not be supportive enough, leading to aches and pain.
• Combination Sleepers: Combination sleepers keep changing positions; thus, they need a good, responsive mattress. With varied comfort options offered by the Stearns and Foster Reserve Hepburn, combination sleepers have a variety of options to choose from. Indulge HD Memory foam in Reserve Hepburn adapt quickly to changing positions allowing the mattress to regain its shape quickly, making it advantageous for combination sleepers. The unique coil design in the support system further adds to the comfort of combination sleepers as it supports the body in all sleeping positions.
