Ultra Firm Stearns and Foster Estate Mattress
I purchased the Stearns and Foster Estate Ultra Firm mattress after experiencing waking up with backaches for some time on an older Sealy Posturepedic. I suffer from bad back problems and find that memory foam and pillowtop mattresses are not supportive enough for me. After traveling to Europe and sleeping on a rather hard hotel mattress (European hotel beds are commonly like this) I found that my backaches went away. While pillowtops and memory foam topped mattresses are in abundance, it was not easy to find a firmer mattress. I wound up going to a large local furniture dealer who specializes in a large line of mattresses in different brand names. I found out that stores put different names on their mattresses to prevent shoppers from price shopping from store to store. I can only tell you that in the line of Stearns and Foster, I purchased the firmest mattress they had. I have had this mattress now almost 5 years and there is no signs of any decrease in the amount of support or any sagging, I wake up with no backache. The Stearns and Foster mattresses offer a low profile selection which is not as thick if you have an antique bedframe that would make the mattress too high. The newer mattresses now are made a lot thicker than they used to be so you have to take this into account especially if you are using the mattress on top of a box spring. The Stearns and Foster mattress I purchased came with the box spring as a set and that is mostly how they are priced - as a set. You can select the low profile option in both the mattress and the box spring. The only drawback to this mattress is that it is one sided only - meaning that you cannot filp it over to the other side for evening out the wear. You can of course reverse it head to foot as is recommended once a year to eliminate wear patterns and extend the life of the mattress. Being that it is a heavier mattress than my old one, I have not done this as regularly as I should and it has not effected the wear
