Re: My research has discovered major problems with all types of beds, yet I still need a bed. Please help. - eagle2

After 20 years of sleeping on waterbeds, my last one wore out, so I decided to try something different.

I started looking in the brick-and-mortar stores at latex beds. I was seriously considering a Stearns and Foster latex mattress and box springs. This was principally because I found a young salesman who was quite good and very appealing. But as I always like to do I began to do research on the Internet. It soon became quite clear to me that it was very difficult to find out what you're actually purchasing when you purchase from the big S. brand companies.

So to make a long story short I wound up purchasing from FlowBeds, and all 100% natural latex California King mattress. I have been very pleased with it. To keep this post limited I will just point you towards a very long thread that I started entitled, "Just bought a new...

Correct Sandman, the estate has the dark brown detailing. I got the luxury line which is a lighter brown/tan detail.

So I did a interesting test today since I noticed now that different salesmen can give better pricing. I went into ANOTHER sleep America store (I'm not crazy I swear haha) and acted like I was a regular price and got a quote for the mattress I agreed to yesteday (the Stearns and Foster luxury firm) and sure enough, the guy quoted me 1061.00 compared to 1169.00 from the guy yesterday.

The other catch was I hadn't layed on a Stearns and Foster estate firm bed yet (a step up from my luxury model). The guy quoted me 1331.00 for a firm estate Stearns and foster. I had no idea I could get it that cheap.

I still went with the luxury firm but I'm almost wondering if I...

Does anyone know what the S&F Estate is called at Sleepys? :-(


Usually the estate has dark brown detailing.   You can look at a picture on their website.  It usually says it on the mattress, but you can ask as well.

I don't know of any real reviews of the estate over a long period of time.  So, their still is possibly an issue of the foam quality and how long it will last.  Some of the older S&F models had sagging and foam issues like all of the other S brands....

there might be some differences in Posturepedics in the US than what I have available to me, there definitely is some differences in Stearns and Foster. 

But they have been using this polyethylene type of foam on the edges for a few years now, I think its at least stronger than the polyurethane edges most companies use, and it also fits into the spring system which is a plus.  But IMO foam encasement of any kind is highly overrated by manufacturers.  I just love it how every time a company has a new edge system they want to show me like they are gonna flip the mattress world upside down lol. ...
Back pain from new mattress (S&F Hearthstone - Luxury Firm) - thejester
Jan 27, 2010 8:10 AM
So I bought a Stearns and Foster Hearthstone Luxury Firm (queen) three weeks ago from Sears.  I had been sleeping on a no name twin for years and have been wanting to upgrade for a long time.  The firm mattresses seemed so great when I tried them out in the store (probably cause they were such a contrast to my older mattress - it was about 17 years old).  I bought the bed at Sears because of the 18 months no interest financing and free delivery - and the bed had the extra 10 percent off the normal 50 percent off sale. 

Things seemed fine the first few nights - it was a little firmer than I had remembered in stores - but then I had three to four days walking up with very bad lower back pain.  I had to get out of the bed to make it stop. ...

Oddly enough, this was EXACTLY the same as my situation. Years and years on a Twin, loved the feel of the S&F Hearthstone, bought it that day. After a couple of weeks there was a sag developing right in the...

Just an update everyone, I'm sleeping sooooooooo much better now thanks to my new Stearns and Foster Firm mattress.

So glad I did the exchange!

I haven't needed a topper either, the bed is comfortable enough as is.

Thanks everyone who posted in here for your help :)

Well guys, I did something totally different. I went to a completely different Sleep america store (found out I can exchange at any store).

Told the new salesmen my situation and told him I need a "firm" bed with no pillowtop in a King. Well I couldn't find a Sealy "firm" mattress in a signature or reserve either. I would have had to get the preferred which is the low end of Sealy.

He had me lay on  a Firm Stearns and Foster and I really liked it. I saw the price tag was 2 grand so I shyed away from it but the salesmen said he could do that mattress for 1196.00.

Like I said, it was firm and felt supportive and he told me it had more coils than the sealy, simmons, and serta.

So this is what I'm exchanging my Simmons with.

My other option (400 dollars more) was the Simmons natural...

My suggestion is to forget a traditional mattress with springs and go for a latex mattress.  If you get a traditional mattress you'll just end up with a crater in your bed AND in your wallet because you'll have wasted $2K on something that is not going to last.  Today's mattresses are made with cheap PU foam in them and that will break down, causing a crater in your bed.

 

A latex mattress can give you the firmness and support your back needs, while still being resilient enough to eliminate pressure points.  It will far outlast a traditional spring mattress.

 

 

Which brand do you recommend? The model from Stearns & Foster I saw in sears has latex combined with...
