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.

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

I was able to try the S&F estate pillow top firm and it felt almost exactly like the lakeridge from costco, maybe a tiny bit softer because it has less memory foam and more polyfoam. The extra firm s&f estate tight top had little to no give at all

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.
