Estate 13.5" Extra Firm Mattress

I’d suggest a Twin XL Stearns & Foster Estate Ultra Firm. Twin XL mattresses are 5” longer than normal twin and Stearns are just built better Checkout local liquidation stores where they advertise 50-80% off MSRP. If they’re anything like my place, They’ll have an odd Twin XL laying around. Typically sold in pairs for split king adjustable base beds those Stearns Twin XL are unbeatable in quality. Even if you spend a little more it’ll be worth it in the long run. And most dealers now have No credit required financing Hope this helps!

You need a traditional mattress if you want to sleep firm, not some foam shit. I love an extra firm mattress, and I’ve only slept on Stearns and Foster for 15 years. They’re great for me.

My partner has back issues and I have hip pain from injuries. We are pretty old school and need a very firm mattress so we got the Stearns and Foster extra firm innerspring, the very hardest one. It has a name but our sales person gave it the nickname “the brick“! I will look on the invoice and see if I can find an actual model number if you’re interested in a good oldfashioned firm mattress that will last. ETA he is 70, I am 67.

I had the exact same concerns when mattress shopping. Yeah, every mattress felt different degrees of 'good' but $4k good? Went with the Costco S&F that's basically the S&F Estate Firm (although they call it a medium) for about $1k and sleep great.

Stearns and Foster Extra Firm King. That’s it for me. But everyone is different.

S&F Estate Extra Firm. Like putting a thin blanket on a garage floor

This is so crazy, I just came here to say I just went through this exact experience 2 weeks ago, was overwhelmed and ended up with a stearns and foster estate firm and I’m obsessed

How much do you weigh? Age? Makes a big difference when mattress shopping. I have been through 4! In the past few yrs! I give them away and start over. 60 yr old with arthritis, previous back surgery with hardware, 200lbs from not being able to be active as I used to. My 6k temperpedic kills my back but my 40 yr old son says it’s comfortable. He has no back issues. So I think it all depends on the persons age & health. The S& F from Costco I read somewhere that it was made from lower end materials than one you would buy at mattress stores. Not even sewn properly on the corners. I think it could work for some. But it’s. It going to last long before the dips start.

I got to try it out locally first :) I tried the S&F Estate and the DreamStar and could hardly tell the difference between the two. The DreamStar was quite a bit cheaper. We had ordered the Douglas Alpine without trying it and ended up returning it. It was just too firm for me, I experienced shoulder, and across the back pain. We just bought it in August, so time will tell. Ours did come with a 15 year warranty though.

I'm no expert, and I saw some other folks mention a few things. My Stearns & Foster is the best mattress I've ever owned, and it's not close. $4k-ish, and firm. I'm a big guy, my wife isn't small, and we moved from a medium to a firm, and couldn't be happier. I have no brand allegiance, just happens to be the most expensive one I've owned, and definitely the best for me.
