Reserve Tight Top Medium

We’ve had a Stearns &Foster Reserve Medium tight top for around 2 years and it’s really been fabulous. We are average size side sleepers. We considered an Aireloom and Vispring. The Vispring felt great but the price made us nervous. Good luck!

Had S&F Reserve Med, slept way hot. Just overbuilt. Estate bound to be better. Got TempurPedic LuxAdapt Med Hybrid, excellent after 60 days. All comments here about uselessness of in store tryout 100% correct. Was fine when just springs. Now materials require time, pressure and heat to reveal themselves. Most important factor is NOT mattress, but return policy. The other way to go is 3rd party resellers on eBay. No return, but 50 to 70% off. See starsluckysales for one.

Like you we kept out old mattress for 15 yrs. Got Stearns & Foster Reserve Med Tight Top for $5400. It slept way too hot and the 3” Tempur layer sank in a good amount overnight. Exchanged for TempurPedic LuxAdapt Medium Hybrid. It is a ton cooler than Reserve, very comfortable. Also $5400. The cheaper TempurPedics have been significantly de-contented in recent years with much lighter foam weights. You will find a knowledgeable review of TempurPedic mattresses on Reddit that makes clear LuxAdapt and LuxAdapt Hybrids are the best units made. I’ve invested about 50 hrs to the point of getting to second level and manufacturing personnel at S&F and TempurPedic. Exchange/return ease is vital. Having said that, the 3rd party resellers on eBay have 55% off on thousands of mattresses. (All those returns go somewhere!). Many are old stock. Don’t be afraid of those, a 3 yr old S&F Reserve had 25% latex vs 15% now. (The legal tag shows latex, website does not). And as I said an older low end TempurPedic will have better foam. This reseller has great reviews on eBay starsluckysales. No returns or warranty, but if you identify a high-end, luxury mattress you’re pretty sure you like ( like mine!) save yourself a couple thousand and get the high end mattress you want.

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?

I've been sleeping on the Stearns and Foster Reserve Medium for a few years and I love it, I used to lay awake in bed for hours and get too hot on my old mattress, I fall asleep within like, 10 minutes now and I've never gotten overheated, even with pets and girlfriend in the bed

I have a Stearns and Foster Reserve Medium I got about 2 years ago, I work at a mattress store and this is my favorite one that we sell

Not really they are usually stacked. I pull out the one I wanted and we laid on it. Lol Sooner Surplus is a hidden treasure. My mattess is Stearns and Foster 6K range and I paid $500!!

4k foster and sterns king, including the box springs…. I could sleep on the floor but my wife is happy…that’s all that matters…

Stearns and Foster does, they actually used to sew their initials for the ‘tuft.’ That was about 15 years ago.

It depends on what type someone is getting. I never see hybrids or memory foams tufted, but their traditional pocketed coils are tufted. If you google ‘Stearns and foster tufted’ you’ll get a lot of images. S&F has been owned by Sealy for decades and still is. They hand make their mattresses in Medina Ohio.

Like I said, this was about 15 years ago. I was at their factory and saw them tuft it myself.

Stearns & Foster. I thought I wanted a cushy mattress but decided on a medium-firm. One of the best purchases I've made in years. I have arthritis and the new mattress has helped so much.
