Your springs are probably fine. It's the crappy foam that is the problem!...

John I agree with you that Savvy Rest has high-quality products, as far as I know since I have never purchased from them, and their price is competitive with the other people in this niche market doing business as they do.

The difference between FloBeds and everybody else, as far as I know, is the fact that they offer not only unlimited exchange of cores during the 90 day trial period, but also a 100% refund within the 90 day trial period, you just pay the return shiping cost if you want your money back. They also have the best shipping cost of exchanges. There may be others that offer this same configuration but I am not aware of it.

I recently bought a Stearns & Foster Estate Eureka Springs luxury firm full mattress from Mattress Discounters and I think I may have made a mistake.  Even though I came across this forum about a month ago, I still took a chance with an "S" brand.  My back was in pain from the hammocking of the old mattress and I bought it due to desperation.  For the first few days my back hurt but it gradually went away.  The mattress salesman said that my back may hurt for the first week or so because my back muscles were returning back to their normal state after being stretched out due to my previous mattress.  It has been 2 weeks now and my back pain has returned!  In fact, it hurt so much this morning I had to get up early since I couldn't take it anymore.  My girlfriend, whom I share...

I have a high end S&F that did exactly that. I assumed that it was problems with cheap layers of foam in the pillow top, but some industry people said that it was a problem with the coil-on-coil design that they used for a few years. They have now gone to a coil-in-coil design, but it's too early to know if it fixed the problem.

At this point, I believe the best strategy is to buy a solid flippable mattress that has a good set of coils and minimal cushioning - then achieve the desired cushioning with latex toppers. That allows you to replace the toppers as needed without the high cost of replacing an entire mattress....

A lot of people with pillowtop beds experience sags and craters in the top layer. I think it happens to most brands, not just Stearns and Foster. So, if you really like spring beds, you may want to get a firm one with little or no padding on the top. Then you can add some layers of latex, memory foam or whatever you prefer on top to get the right level of softness for you. If that top layer wears out, you can just replace it instead of the whole bed. You may have to try some beds to see what kind of feel you like. <BR><BR>Some people cut off the top fabric of the mattress, so they can remove whatever cheap foam may be on top of the springs. Then they add their own high quality foam. Another popular option...

Thanks to both of you for the fast and helpful responses....

I was about to purchase a Stearns and Foster bed until I went on the Internet today and saw an overwhelming number of reviews that state the bed gets saggy and lumpy after about a year. Anyone have any idea if that is specific to the pillowtop, or does the entire mattress fail? Am I safe buying without a pillowtop and adding my own cushioning later? If their beds are junk, then what inner-spring mattress companies have good reputations these days? Also, are all built in pillow/euro tops looked at as a bad investment? Thanks....

Hey Bob,

  Without getting too personal, what sort of measurements are you?  I'm a big guy, 6'1', heavy,  and am considering a full latex flobed.  I definitely want a firm mattress and have a Stearns and Foster guest bed that I like right now (Its a twin though, and we're looking for a king.  Of course, thanks to the Mattress Companies naming policies, I couldn't go buy the king version if I wanted too.  Ha!).  Based on your post, I'm concerned that the flobed won't be firm enough for me.

Thanks....
