Stearns & Foster Estate Hurston Luxury Firm Review

Updated January 17, 2022

The Stearns & Foster Estate Hurston Luxury Firm mattress is the firmest entry-level model they produce. We recommend it because the results from our testing of the bed were pretty good, and the mattress also represents a good value in the premium brand (if you're looking for a firm bed). Check out our test results and detailed review of the features below:

Comfort Scale Rating

The Hurston Luxury Firm mattress is a firm bed we rate 3.5 on our 10 point Comfort Scale (a 1 is very hard, 10 is super soft). It's a firmer feeling bed, so it'll only appeal to sleepers who like a harder bed. If you like a medium or softer bed you should look at other models.

Pressure Test Results

We had the Estate Hurston Luxury Firm mattress in our facility and pressure tested it with small, average, and large body size people on the side and back sleeping positions. Results give you an idea of how the mattress will work for you since we look at key body sizes. (Learn how we test)

The testing data for the Estate Hurston Luxury Firm mattress was positive for all body sizes and sleeping positions. In the pressure maps below, the precise data is easy to see in color-coded format (blue and green are lower pressure and yellow or red show increased levels of pressure under a resting body). What the charts and data demonstrate is that this mattress does a good job of contouring body curves with minimal pressure points. And this is important because pressure points lead to tossing and turning as your body moves to relieve the pain, causing sleep interruption. Another important check we do is to measure and rate the support provided by the bed. In this case, the mattress provided decent support as well. Good support keeps your spine aligned so you don't wake up with back pain.

The Main Features in Detail

1. Tencel Cover 

   The fabric is a Tencel plant fiber that comes from the eucalyptus plant. Tencel material is soft and stretchable and improves airflow while wicking moisture away. For those who sweat while they sleep this feature will help to keep you dry for a more restful night's sleep.

2. Premium Gel Foam

   On top of the innerspring support are several layers of premium gel foam. It helps the mattress conform to your body's curves and lessens excess pressure on your shoulders and hips while you sleep. 

3. IntelliCoil

   The traditional Stearns Foster innerspring is a dual-stage design that is soft under lightweight and firmer when heavier weight is added under heavy areas like your hips. 

4. Precision Edge + Air Vents

   The edge support system ensures the mattress is sleepable up to the edges of the entire surface. And pocketed coil sleeves help airflow and allow cooler sleeping.
