I sell mattresses. Been in the business for 7 years. I have tried quite a bit and what I’m loving right now is a beautyrest black series 3 plush Pillowtop. Need a firm foundation, not slats. I’m mostly side sleeper 36yo and 195 lb and I’m loving it. But yes it’s really subjective. Another popular one is the Purple Luxe Rejuveante Plus or premier (soft vs medium), also Stearns and Foster Reserve plush Pillowtop- same thing foundation not on slats. Those are all great options.
It has been my experience that the Stearns and foster hold their support longer than the beauty rest black. They are pretty similar, but seems like Stearns and foster is better made, and holds up longer. If you do decide to purchase that, just make sure to get a foundation instead of slats or a boxspring to put it on and it’ll last much longer.
Same situ here…we opted for a S&F Reserve pillow top king, after liking their floor model….the one we received is FAR too firm. I WISH we could find a top line for $4000!! We pay extra for island shipping costs…paid $6500!! Going back in today to ask for the SOFT pillow top king reserve , after taking directly to S&F. Love to get a shot at the Custom one…you can buy from Marriot supplier??
Most important is return, replace policy. (Sample 5 from Costco?) You cannot understand any modern mattress in the store. In that sense, every store is Costco. All require sleep test 30 days min, 90 better. We returned S&F Reserve $5k slept very hot. (Was fab in store.) Got LuxAdapt Med Hybrid, it’s day 20 and sleeps better each night. Started rather firm. Does not over heat so far this winter. Do check out 3rd party resellers. See starsluckysales and others on eBay. (Plainly violates my return priority.) LuxAdapt Hybrid is very different from Adapt Hybrid and ProAdapt Hybrid. Dramatically different construction. For us, well worth upgrade, but ProAdapt (hybrid?) is their best seller. I believe due price difference. I’m 200 side, wife 160 side, we both love the LuxAdapt Med Hybrid.
It definitely broke in a bit at 30 days. Got even more comfortable. I understand from other Reddits that it will continue to change slightly up to six months. Seems about right. Also understand the room temp plays a role. We’re windows cracked in 45 degree nights. Be curious how more moderate nights and AC affect it. I feel very confident about all so far. The LuxeAdapt is very different from ProAdapt and then add in the 1400 dual springs. It amazes me the effect you get from only 4.7” of foam. 8.3” of springs must play a role too. But drive your knee into the all foam medium LuxeAdapt, it takes 30-45 seconds to rebound. Hybrid in 15 seconds.
I have 3 month old TempurPedic LuxeAdapt Med Hybrid. After baking, we sleep hot, in S&F Reserve, this TempurPedic has been a god send. 4.7” made up of 3 different TempurPedic foams with top layer featuring dime sized holes, it’s just about perfect heat and firmness. Rest is 15.5 gauge springs on top of 15 gauge springs. If the LuxeAdapt is cool, I hope the Breeze is too. 2 contradictory points. The most important thing about a mattress is the return policy. In store visits are 80% useless. You MUST test out at least 30 days. Second, check out 3rd party resellers on eBay. Starsluckysales for one. Half off or better, but no return. All those returned mattresses (like my S&F Reserve) end up somewhere. You’ve slept on used mattresses before. Hotel? Air B&B?
Nope. Stearns and Foster Reserve. Worth every dime and the only mattress I will ever use again. Cured shouder neck and back aches from sleeping wrong on a bad mattress.
Hi there- I've been struggling for over a year - bought a Spring Air back supporter mattress -14.5G zoned coils and eurotop - my hips sink down in foam and then have hip pain and although it feels soft, I also get shoulder pain. I've tried so many different toppers and nothing has worked- Currently making my own zoned topper (softer foam 10ILD for shoulders and HR 28ILD firmer foam for hips to keep hips from sinking) but would much prefer a mattress that did not need a topper. I'm a petite (5') lightweight side sleeper with shoulder bursitis flares so shoulders need soft but hips need a medium-soft. I wish I could find a plush mattress with a zipper that would allow me to put a shim in the hip section. Seems so hard to find a medium-soft 4/10 mattress- all the soft ones are way too soft for my hips and every medium mattress 5 or 6/10 is too firm for me. Latex does not work. Trying to avoid zoned coils as it did not work well with the Spring Air. I see that some companies are now zoning the foam or using a shim piece. Would prefer a hybrid as I have never had an all foam mattress and I do sleep hot so not interested in all memory foam. Tempurpedic did not work- I tried the lux adapt medium hybrid- great for back, but terrible on my side. And their soft versions, I sank and then hit hard surface. I tried the BR world class 4 plush and it was way too soft. The level 3 plush felt too firm in the store so I thought the 4 would work but nope. I previously had a Stearns and Foster from 2016 that was a luxury plush pillowtop - always was a bit too firm for my shoulders but hips never sank and I was ok until 2 years ago when I was sleeping slanted as the edge support is too good. I tried the Stearns lux estate medium hybrid and it arrived defective - big hump in the center and I hated the deep divets. Any recommendations would be appreciated.
