Stearns and Foster Queen Pillow Top Mattress Review

As a queen-sized girl I need to have a mattress that supplies queen sized comfort and support. When we went shopping for a new mattress set - we tried many differnet brands across several retailers.My husband is a real sport and had no problem whatsoever rolling around in public on a variety of bedding styles and brands.

There are many different styles to consider - pillow top versus plain - pillow top on both sides or one, memory foam and adjustable settings for warmth, and firmness, etc.

Our previous bed was a water sleep system style bed - a glorified waterbed really - basically it is tubes of water incased in what looks like a normal mattress and boxsprings. This bed had given us terrific rest for some 10+ years - but we decided that we no longer wanted to sleep over water - I have advanced arthritis in my lower spine and hips and the waterbed sleeps a little on the cool side without a heater.

After wallowing all over town we decided to invest in a Stearns and Foster double pillow top - the initial investment is pretty steep but the bed is well worth the money. The fabric covering the mattress is very smooth and wears sheets well - I have to use deep pocket sheets because of the extra thickness - there is a pillow top on both sides of the mattress - but on the whole this bed cannot be beat for comfort  and support - I have found that I get to sleep easier - sleep deeper and longer then on our previous bed - which I felt was super comfortable. Ours is a queen and even though Rick and I are both big people - the bed accomodates us and all our pets just fine.

This mattress set is also durable - we have moved across the country three times now in the last 5 years and it is still good as new! When the time comes to replace it - I will look for the Stearns and Foster brand again! We purchased our bed at Haerty's - they gave us a really good deal on a gorgeous bed frame because we were buying the mattress set - the bed frame is not pictured as the picture was taken when we staged our Texas house for sale last fall - and we had put the bed frame in storage.
