Stearns & Foster Mattresses

Q: What is the difference between Stearns & Foster Estate, Lux Estate, and Reserve?

The Estate Collection is the entry point into the Stearns & Foster lineup — IntelliCoil innersprings, TENCEL moisture-wicking cover, and multiple firmness options. The Lux Estate adds TEMPUR-Indulge Memory Foam developed by Tempur-Pedic sleep scientists, upgraded IntelliCoil HD innersprings, and enhanced cooling. The Reserve is the brand's highest expression of craftsmanship — the most luxurious materials Stearns & Foster makes, with the deepest comfort layers and the most premium construction. All three are hand-stitched and hand-signed by Certified Master Craftsmen.

175 years of handcrafted luxury

Every Stearns & Foster mattress is hand-stitched by a Certified Master Craftsman — not assembled by machine. Their craftsmen spend more than six months refining their skills before they sign their name to a single mattress. When the work is complete, they hand-sign the label. That signature is a commitment to the quality of every stitch inside. No other mattress brand in our lineup works this way.

Which Stearns & Foster Collection Is Right for You?

Stearns & Foster organizes its lineup by craftsmanship and material tier. Every collection is hand-stitched and manufactured in the USA — the collections differ in the depth and quality of materials inside.

Collection	Best For	Feel Range	Key Feature
Studio	Entry-level luxury; first premium mattress	Firm to Plush	S&F craftsmanship at most accessible price; IntelliCoil foundation
Estate	Most sleepers; value luxury	Firm to Plush	IntelliCoil innersprings; TENCEL moisture-wicking cover; PrecisionEdge
Lux Estate	Couples; pressure relief; hot sleepers	Firm to Plush	IntelliCoil HD + TEMPUR-Indulge Memory Foam by Tempur-Pedic; enhanced cooling
Reserve	Luxury buyers; maximum comfort	Plush to Medium firm	Stearns & Foster's finest materials; deepest comfort layers; premium natural fabrics

The best Stearns & Foster for back pain, side sleeping, or couples depends on your body weight, sleep position, and how much material depth you need. BedMATCH at any Sit 'n Sleep location matches you to the right collection and firmness using 18 body measurements.

What backs the brand

Stearns & Foster has handcrafted luxury mattresses since 1846 — 175+ years. The brand is now part of Tempur-Sealy International, and the Lux Estate and Reserve collections feature TEMPUR-Indulge Memory Foam developed directly by Tempur-Pedic's sleep scientists — exclusive to this partnership.
The patented IntelliCoil system uses a coil-within-coil design: a taller outer coil responds to light pressure across your whole body, while a shorter inner coil only activates under heavier pressure to provide targeted relief at your hips, shoulders, and lower back. No other brand in our lineup uses this construction.
Every Stearns & Foster mattress is CertiPUR-US certified, manufactured in the USA, and covered with TENCEL — a sustainably sourced fiber that wicks moisture and regulates temperature through the night.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Stearns & Foster different from other luxury mattress brands?

Stearns & Foster has hand-crafted luxury mattresses since 1846 — 175+ years. Every mattress is hand-stitched and hand-signed by a Certified Master Craftsman who spends more than six months refining their skills before signing a single mattress. No other brand in our lineup does this. The brand is now part of Tempur-Sealy International and uses TEMPUR-Indulge Memory Foam — developed by Tempur-Pedic sleep scientists — in its Lux Estate and Reserve collections. Every mattress is manufactured in the USA and CertiPUR-US certified.

What is IntelliCoil technology?

IntelliCoil is Stearns & Foster's patented coil-within-coil design. A taller, more flexible outer coil compresses easily under light pressure to support your whole body. A shorter, more tightly wound inner coil only activates under greater pressure to provide targeted relief at your pressure points — your hips, shoulders, and lower back. This dual-response design means the coil behaves differently depending on where your body is pressing, providing both overall support and localized pressure relief from a single coil unit.

What is the difference between Stearns & Foster Estate, Lux Estate, and Reserve?

The Estate Collection is the entry point — IntelliCoil innersprings, TENCEL moisture-wicking cover, and multiple firmness options. The Lux Estate adds TEMPUR-Indulge Memory Foam developed by Tempur-Pedic sleep scientists, upgraded IntelliCoil HD innersprings, and enhanced cooling technology. The Reserve is Stearns & Foster's highest expression of craftsmanship — the most luxurious materials they make, with the deepest comfort layers and most premium construction. All three are hand-stitched and hand-signed by Certified Master Craftsmen.

Is Stearns & Foster good for back pain?

Stearns & Foster's IntelliCoil system is specifically designed to respond differently across different areas of your body — firmer support under your lower back and hips where you carry the most weight, and more give at your shoulders. The PrecisionEdge system keeps the perimeter firm so the sleep surface doesn't collapse at the edges. For back pain specifically, our sleep consultants frequently recommend starting with BedMATCH to identify the right support level, then testing Stearns & Foster alongside other brands.

Is Stearns & Foster worth the price?

Yes — Stearns & Foster sits in the premium to luxury tier and justifies the price through genuine craftsmanship differentiators: hand-stitched construction, Certified Master Craftsmen with 6+ months of training, 175+ years of manufacturing heritage, and TEMPUR-Indulge Memory Foam on Lux Estate and Reserve models. It is the most handcrafted mattress in our lineup. Sit 'n Sleep's 120-night comfort trial means no risk after you take one home.

Stearns & Foster: 160 Years of Luxury Mattresses

Founded in 1846 by George S. Stearns and Seth C. Foster, Stearns & Foster was initially engaged in manufacturing and supplying luxury grade upholstery to makers of high-end horse-drawn carriages. Stearns & Foster invented a cotton bunting manufacturing process that resulted in a cleaner, more comfortable alternative for upholstery, and it wasn’t long before the company adapted the technology to use in the production of their luxury line of mattresses.

By the 1920s, Stearns & Foster beds had earned a reputation for unsurpassed luxury, comfort and value. Stearns & Foster’s reputation endures to this day, and the company continues to provide consumers with mattresses that feature the very finest in materials and craftsmanship.

The Four Firmness Levels of a Stearns & Foster Mattress

The people at Stearns & Foster recognize that persons who choose to sleep on an innerspring mattress want a mattress that provides the right level of firmness and support to match their particular body size, weight and shape. They also want to sleep on a mattress that looks and feels good and won't sag or get lumpy over time. Stearns & Foster also understands that there are several definitions of "firm,” used throughout the sleep industry, which is why they offer four different levels of mattress firmness:

Ultra Firm. This is an ideal mattress for sleepers who want to rest on a flat, firm surface that provides maximum support with just a hint of softness. Because Ultra Firm mattresses are less flexible, most people who suffer from back and neck problems tend to prefer them over softer mattresses since an Ultra Firm mattress helps keep the spine properly aligned and relaxes the back muscles, both of which can help alleviate lower back pain and promote sound sleep. Stomach sleepers also tend to choose firm mattresses over other comfort levels because they distribute the body’s weight evenly and provide full body support. Stearns & Foster’s Rockwell Model is a good example of an Ultra Firm mattress.
Luxury Firm. A Luxury Firm mattress offers the same level of firmness as its Ultra firm counterpart, but is topped with a layer of quilted softness for added comfort. It’s the choice of people who need some support, but find a firm mattress to be somewhat uncomfortable. Stearns & Foster’s Cassatt is one of several Luxury Firm mattresses carried by Sit ‘n Sleep.
Luxury Cushion Firm.This mattress is a great choice for those people who want plenty of support along with quilted softness. It features Ultra Soft Gel Foam, which is a premium foam that adapts to the body’s natural contours and relieves pressure for all night sleeping comfort. It’s what gives Stearns & Foster’s Luxury Cushion Firm mattresses their luxurious feel. An example is their Hurston Luxury Cushion Firm Mattress.
Luxury Plush. This mattress type blends deep support and an enveloping softness to deliver a luxurious sleeping experience. Stearns & Foster’s Hurston Luxury Plush Euro Pillow Top Mattress that features their exclusive IntelliCoil® coil system for all night support and 1” layer of Premium Extra Soft Gel Foam and Tencel® stretch knit cover is a great example.

Stearns & Foster Mattress Sizes

Stearns & Foster all standard sizes from Twin to California King. Here’s the breakdown:

Twin: 37" wide X 74" long
Full: 52.75" wide x 74" long
Queen: 59.75" wide x 79" long
King: 75.75" wide x 79" long
California King: 71.75" wide x 83" long

Individual mattress dimensions, regardless of the brand may vary. If you're purchasing a Stearns & Foster mattress for a specific type of headboard, frame or bed, it’s a good idea to measure carefully to verify the actual size.

What to Look For When Shopping for an Innerspring Mattress

There are many different types of coils used in innerspring mattresses, which means that when you check out Stearns & Foster mattresses, it is important to know what to look for in the innerspring mattress’s construction.

The four primary factors that affect the level of support in an innerspring mattress are the shape of the coil, the thickness of the wire used in the coil, the number of coils the mattress contains and tempering, which is a process that hardens the coils to prevent sagging. Be sure that the innerspring mattress you’re considering includes twice-tempered coils.

At Sit ‘n Sleep, our knowledgeable team of sleep consultants will be pleased to share their innerspring mattress insights with you. By speaking with them, you’ll have the information you need to select a Stearns & Foster innerspring mattress with a firmness level and size that’s right for your body size, type and lifestyle. That way, you’ll be assured of enjoying sound, restful sleep night after night.
