I was browsing this website which seems to have the most thorough mattress reviews on the net and Stearns and Foster appears to get very poor customer ratings.  Its satisfaction rating is somewhere around 57%.  Why this?  Stearns and Foster is supposed to be a premium mattress brand, and it gets lower ratings than Sealy Posturepedic, which is a lower end mattress line?  Sealy Posturepedic has a rating around 65%.

 

We were looking at a S&F at Mattress Firm (Foxbridge Firm in particular)

and it is billed as top-of-the-line, but now we're not so sure.  Other contenders are Sealy Posturepedic Irresistible Firm and Sealy Posturepedic Honorable Firm.

The main problem I had with the entry level 'Hearthstone Luxury Plush' (tight top) from Sears was the foam indented in hips and shoulder areas in only several days.  I know we've heard that a million times.  It was a good looking mattress and the cover fabric was nice, but it would have been nice to have really durable and 'springy' foam.  The box spring was decent.  I pressed down on it fairly hard and it was solid under there.

I guess it's a moot point for me to plug S&F because it didn't work for me.  Maybe a pillowtop would have worked, but I don't plan to get one. I'm much more interested in high quality latex comfort layers.

weewilly - It was Simmons that's been using 'pocketed' individual coils since like 1928.  I know S&F only started using them a couple years ago and 2011 Posturepedics have them.  I don't know if Sealy has waffled back and forth using and not using individual coils.
 


Thanks for setting me straight, Slpngoc! And to Budgy too for for more info on S&F. Really appreciated!
