Hi Pete,
Your honest advice is the best I've found out there in the impossible mattress world. I suffer with lower back pain, a bulging discs and hip pain. I am a mostly a side sleeper. I was considering a S&F mattress that I tried in a store. It felt great. I almost fell asleep after lying on it for 10 minutes. I see you suggest getting tight top and purchasing a topper separately. All the posts I have seen are from resent purchases. Which mattress would you suggest for lasting support?
Best Regards, Dianne
Hi Dianne,
Stearns & Foster had been considered “The Cadillac of the Industry” for many decades until 10+ years ago.
S&F had been owned by Sealy for many years, until 2013 when Sealy was purchased by Tempurpedic. They also acquired S&F in the deal. Since then, the upholstery materials switched to memory foam. Today, S&F makes nothing worth buying.
Memory foam has proven to be the absolute worst upholstery material ever invented…purposefully designed to cause a mattress to need frequent replacing…not to mention the chemical off gassing, sleeping hot and the sinking in that actually causes back pain due to causing your body to become misaligned.
Memory foam is extremely misleading. It comfortable at first. But loses its resiliency in very short order.
You’ll be wasting your money.
The PlushBeds Luxury Bliss Mattress is my recommendation.
The individually pocketed coils maintain the natural alignment of the body and spine. The Pure, Organic and Hypoallergenic Latex Upholstery provides long lasting comfort.
