I went through exactly what you're going through. In addition my wife bought our previous bed before we were together and my preferences are for much softer. So she said, you pick the next one. Great! Right?
Tried so many, so many stores including niche ones like purple, etc. I became tired and fed up and just said, whatever, let's just get a Costco mattress. Importantly, I kept reading how every mattress changed and even testing wasn't reliable, so fuck it.
Friend, I now own two of the Costco sterns and foster mattresses. Exactly $1000 for a queen. It's been wonderful for years and it's softer up front.
Mattress purchasing is so tough and high stakes but I really recommend getting a Costco membership (or contacting a friend who has one) and just pulling the trigger on old faithful.
Kirkland Signature by Stearns & Foster 14.5" Lakeridge Mattress | Costco https://share.google/v9lf9U0tSMiCLRVRJ
I bought the Queen Sized Kirkland Signature by Stearns & Foster 14.5" Pillow Top Lakeridge. It has a pillow top so it's more of a medium than a firm.
It's so much better than my old Ghost mattress which was way too soft. The mattress itself is well constructed and gives me all the support I need as a heavier fella. Great price point at $999.
However, the delivery was less than favorable. It was supposed to be a drop off/haul away deal. Delivery men dropped off the mattress then claimed they had no knowledge of a haul away. I had to call Costco customer service and they apologized profusely and sent someone the next day for haul away.
We got us Stearns and foster had it for four years and *just* returned it. It certainly seemed like a few of the reviews were exactly what the mattress was which was terrible and a few were fake but Costco took it back after four years so we’re gonna try them again, no reason not to explore what they offer.
We just got the Costco pillow top Kirkland and I’m obsessed. We got it for my toddler and I constantly leave my bed to sleep with him. I keep trying to leave a review in the Costco sub but their rules suck and I gave up. It’s on sale too. Will 100% but for our king when we need to. Best part is they have free returns if it doesn’t work out
Maybe I’ve been trying to post my Costco review for the Stern Kirkland pillow top currently on sale for days and their sub has so many rules it will not allow my post. It’s 10/10, will
Purchase for our other bed when we need to.
Bought a Stearns and Foster a couple years ago. This was before the tight top pictured. It was very firm when new and broke in perfectly. I still sleep great on it. Its very sturdy and well built and heavy. I rotate it every other week. This mattress is not flippable. I paid I think 1100 or 1199 for the king. I had gone through about 6 or 7 online mattresses before this. I would buy another one of these from Costco when I need a new mattress. With Costco's service and return policy, its a no brainer.
