Stearns and Foster Estate Scarborough 14.5-inch Luxury Plush Euro Pillow Top Mattress, King

great service/delivery and super comfortable. Price was much better than what I could find elsewhere

Does not disappoint. We are very happy with this purchase!

I suffer from chronic pain. Severe chronic pain. I have ankylosing spondylitis, polymyalgia rhuematica, osteoarthritis, and a few other conditions that cause me to be in constant pain. When most people lay down at night and get off their feet it's to unwind and perhaps relieve the pain of spending all day on their feet. When I lay down at night I can't escape the pain and unless I have the right mattress I wake up in the morning feeling just as much pain (if not more) than I did when I went to sleep. So to me finding the perfect mattress isn't just important - it's crucial.I've tried a number of mattresses on Amazon, some good, some bad, some downright ugly. This mattress isn't just good - it's excellent. It offers support and cradles me in all of the right places at the same time so I'm not suffering from pressure points and I'm not tossing and turning all night trying to avoid pain in my hips or arms or sides. I wake up feeling refreshed and while the pain is never truly gone it offers me a lot of relief.The only reason this is getting four stars instead of five is because it arrived with dirt all over it. And I mean all over it. Since there was a plastic wrap covering the entire mattress there is no way that could have happened during shipping. It had to have happened before the mattress was wrapped and that tells me they have some serious quality control issues in part of the packaging process. For a mattress in this price range no one expects to receive a product that has dirt spread in spots all over it.

This mattress is comfortable or at least comfortable enough for a guest bed. It's not my Purple mattress, which I love. The firmness is moderate I would say, but you do still sink into it a bit. I didn't notice that I got hot as I do when sleeping on memory foam mattresses, so that's a nice aspect. My biggest complaint was that when the mattress arrived at my home, the plastic heavy duty wrapping was filthy with a fine, black dust. The plastic was torn in spots, so there were a few black stains on the mattress. I would be highly upset to pay the retail price to get a stained mattress. The men who delivered the mattress said that they picked it up from the warehouse/shipper dirty like that. This seems to be a continuing issue.

This mattress is extraordinary. My wife calls it magical. We got the twin for our daughter and she loves it, too. Based on our own experiences with a variety of high-end mattresses made by Simmons, Sealy, etc., we would both rank the quality of this mattress at the very top. Although I can't yet speak to longevity or long-term features (for example, does it develop low spots over time?), here are my impressions so far. I will update when and as much as necessary:♦ It's extremely comfortable with the perfect combination of plushness and support. When you lay down on the mattress, you sink into a very plush top layer, but there is ample support on your lower back, under your knees, and around your shoulders. The same is true when you lay on your side: lots of support on your sides, along your ribs, and so on, but at the same time the mattress feels amazingly soft on the pressure points, like shoulders and hips. This superb comfort is really noticeable right away and is even better after a night of sleep.♦ Other features are equally high-end, the kind of nice touches you would expect from a "handcrafted" mattress. There are numerous super stout handles along the side of the mattress, making it a breeze to carry and move, despite unusually heavy weight.♦ The design is such that you can use it with a base (e.g. box springs) or without -- as explained on the accompanying tag. I'm not sure you can use this mattress without a base in the larger sizes, such as queens and kings, so best to check the tag of the mattress you receive. I would guess that a king is so wide it needs some kind of base, but I don't know.♦ The materials throughout are extremely high quality, well stitched, thick, and durable feeling. The sides especially are heavy cloth almost like canvas. The top is obviously soft and plush and a kind of quilted material, but not cheap at all. I expect it will last, even with the wear that kids put on things.♦ It is a thick mattress at about 14 inches, as you can see in my photos, but not so thick it can't be used. It's significantly thicker than our old mattress and my daughter regards it as a kind of novelty, climbing up so high and sleeping so high. Make sure your bed can accommodate it. If you are putting it on the button of two bunk beds, make sure there is space. If you have a guard railing to keep kids from falling out of bed, make sure the mattress doesn't rise too high in relation to the guard.♦ The price, although very high, is warranted by the quality of the mattress. If you are in the market for the best, I'm confident in saying that you have found it here. It is better than the high-end Simmons queen mattress that my wife and I sleep on, which was about $1,500 ten years ago. I'm very impressed and highly recommend with five stars! Will be back to look at Stearns and Foster again when it's time for us to upgrade to a king!

This mattress is very plush and padded. Not sure what to expect but I have always trusted the Sealy Mattress Company as I have purchased several over the years. Since this mattress was going to be used by a pre-teen who is lightweight I am expecting the mattress to hold up well for many years to come. The seams are all tightly sewn and very nicely padded. It is very comfortable to lay on and said pre-teen is very happy! The padding is SUPER plush and full! This is the first time I have gotten from the Stearns and Foster Estate Scarbrough Collection and I must say that I really like the feeling of sitting on the edge of the bed! Most mattresses "dip" somewhat when you are getting up (or maybe it is just my body) but the edge of this bed feels more substantial but still comfortable when getting up!
