Pressure Test Results
We brought the Estate Rockwell Luxury Firm mattress into 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 Rockwell Luxury Firm mattress was positive for most body sizes & sleeping positions. In the pressure maps, you can see color-coded data (blue and green are lower pressure and yellow or red show increased levels of pressure under a resting body.) The data reveals that this mattress does a pretty good job contouring body curves with minimal pressure points. It is important because pressure points lead to tossing and turning as your body moves to relieve the pain. The exception to this is when the large person sleeps on their side. In this case, the heavy shoulder weight on the firm mattress pushes through and creates too much pressure. We also measure and amount of support provided by the bed. Good support keeps your spine aligned so you don't wake up with back pain.

Stearns & Foster now resides in the Tempur-Sealy mattress company, based in Lexington, KY. In recent years, there has been a resurgence in the Stearns & Foster brand. Sales growth comes from continued investments in the products. Broad acceptance of the brand by luxury mattress buyers also factors into this.
Conclusion
The Estate Rockwell Luxury Firm mattress is a firm feeling bed that retails for $2,199 (queen size mattress only). For most sleeping positions we rated the bed a Recommend based on our tests.
When we pressure tested the mattress with various body sizes and sleeping positions the bed provided conforming support resulting in good weight distribution - even though it's a firm mattress. This creates a sleeping experience with minimal pressure points, which leads to sleep-disrupting tossing, and turning. The only exception was when the large body size person lays on their side. In this case, there was too much weight on the shoulder that created a high level of pressure, so we do not recommend the mattress in a situation such as that. In terms of support, the mattress provided it in the necessary areas such as the lower back.
This mattress has a breathable, moisture-wicking Tencel fabric cover. The padding layers include a layer of Indulge Memory Foam, by Tempurpedic. The innerspring system is a dual-stage, coil-in-coil design that provides variable support for a more comfortable sleep surface. Stearns and Foster mattresses are known for quality innerspring support and added premium features like the ones just mentioned.
Overall, we generally recommend this mattress because it tested well for most sleeping positions (exception noted above). While it's not a cheap mattress, you do get premium features for a higher price. Those features, no doubt, helped the mattress achieve positive test results. If you're looking for a firm, upper-end mattress then you can consider this model a safe choice.
