Stearns
& Foster Innerspring Mattress Reviews
& Ratings --
Based on Data From Over 132 Actual Owners

What You Need To Know
According to our research, the Stearns & Foster innerspring-based
mattress scores about average among innerspring-based
beds in regard to comfort. This is a little disappointing
given that mattress is positioned as a luxury brand and is often
pricier than other alternatives.
Like all innerspring beds included in our research, the comfort
rating of the Stearns & Foster is lower than beds that use
memory foam, air, latex or water for primary support.
Variations of the bed that have a layer of memory foam, latex,
or pillow top usually have a higher comfort rating and perhaps
more durability.

Glossary
Comfortable
Lying and sleeping on the Stearns & Foster innerspring
mattress is restful because it adequately relieves pressure
points and allows muscles, especially back muscles, to relax.
In other words, the mattress provides at least the opportunity
for better, more efficient sleep.
Uncomfortable
The bed fails to make lying and sleeping on it restful because
it does not adequately relieve pressure points and allow muscles
to relax. In other words, the bed does not provide the opportunity
for sound, efficient sleep.
Premature sagging
Sagging of the mattress to an extent that makes the bed uncomfortable
took place within three years after purchase.
Durable
The bed maintains its comfort and support and does not sag
for at least three years after purchase. For those Stearns
and Foster owners who did not report premature sagging, the
average age of their bed was 8.3 years.
Off gassing
The mattress gives off a chemical-like odor initially, which
can last for hours to weeks.
