Stearns and foster estate hurston luxury plush mattress

Mattress Performance

Motion Isolation

4/5 (Medium Soft), 3/5 (Medium Firm), 2/5 (Firm)

The Stearns and Foster Estate Hurston Mattress uses polyfoam and memory foam in its comfort system, both of which absorb a significant amount of motion. The pocketing of the springs also limits the spread of vibrations between coils, but the bed’s bounce could contribute to some minor motion transfer. This puts the Estate Hurston on par with most hybrid models.

Because softer foam tends to absorb more motion, the Plush version of the Estate Hurston earns the highest marks in motion isolation. This may make it especially well suited to individuals who awaken easily when their partner moves. The Cushion Firm also earns strong ratings, though couples are likely to notice some vibrations. Since the Firm version is the most likely to transfer motion, it may not be ideal for those with a partner who tends to toss and turn.

Pressure Relief

5/5 (Medium Soft), 3/5 (Medium Firm), 2/5 (Firm)

Gel-infused polyfoam and memory foam within the Estate Hurston’s comfort system are designed to cradle the body to redistribute weight and prevent pain related to pressure points.

The mattress also uses a special type of pocketed coil that includes a smaller inner coil. While the outer coil is designed to respond to the initial weight of the body, the inner coil should provide extra support for any part of the body that sinks more deeply into the mattress.

With these two design elements, the Stearns and Foster Estate Hurston Mattress generally provides good pressure relief. That said, the softer models (Plush and Cushion Firm) are likely to provide better contouring than the Firm version because sleepers can sink in more.

Temperature Control

2/5 (Medium Soft), 3/5 (Medium Firm, Firm)

Hybrid mattresses tend to do a good job at temperature control, and the Estate Hurston is no exception. The Cushion Firm and Firm versions earn strong marks due to their breathable designs and minimal hug. Since sleepers will sink more deeply into the Plush option, it may be more prone to trapping heat.

A Tencel lyocell cover absorbs moisture while allowing airflow to help keep the surface cool and dry. Copper air vents along the side of the cover let air circulate more freely through the mattress. All of the bed’s polyfoam and memory foam is infused with gel, which is intended to help draw away heat. The breathable pocketed coil core also adds ventilation.

Sleepers prone to overheating during the night will likely appreciate the good temperature control of the Cushion Firm and Firm versions of the Estate Hurston Mattress.

Edge Support

3/5 (Medium Soft), 4/5 (Medium Firm, Firm)

The Stearns and Foster Estate Hurston Mattress’ coil core has a border of narrower coils designed to prevent sagging and help the mattress hold its shape.

This means that the mattress shouldn’t sink excessively along the edges, allowing you to sit or sleep near the perimeter without fear of falling off.

No matter which level of firmness you choose, you’re likely to experience very good edge support with this mattress. However, the sides of the Cushion Firm and Firm versions may feel especially sturdy, which should enable owners to use the entirety of the sleep surface. This edge support is similar to many hybrid models on the market.

Ease of Movement

Like many hybrid models that combine foam and springs, the Estate Hurston Mattress is fairly easy to move on. Across all firmness levels, the mattress rates well in this category.

Hybrid mattresses are typically a good compromise between the contouring or foam and the responsiveness of coils. While the close hug of foam may limit movement to an extent, the Estate Hurston uses mostly polyfoam, which regains its shape fairly quickly. Additionally, the bounce of the coil core may further simplify position changes.

Sex

3/5 (Medium Soft, Medium Firm), 4/5 (Firm)

The Estate Hurston Mattress proves to be a good compromise between traction and bounce as it includes layers of foam and a pocketed coil core. The springs add responsiveness that couples often prefer, while the polyfoam and memory foam contour to the body to provide traction and absorb vibrations to limit noise.

This mattress should be a good pick overall for amorous activity, but the Firm version rates especially well since couples shouldn’t sink in as deeply.

Off-Gassing

Synthetic foams contribute to off-gassing, which customers typically experience as a “new mattress smell.” Most experts consider these odors harmless for the majority of consumers, but they’re still an important factor to consider.

The Stearns and Foster Estate Hurston Mattress uses a breathable design, so most initial odors should dissipate within a couple of days. If you’d prefer to avoid these smells, just let your bed air out in a separate room before introducing it into your bedroom.

Although the Stearns and Foster Estate Hurston Mattress can accommodate most sleepers regardless of their body type and sleep position, these factors may influence which firmness is best for you.

Side Sleepers: With several layers of gel-infused polyfoam and a unique coil-in-coil core, a side sleeper’s hips and shoulders can sink into the mattress to redistribute the force and ease pressure buildup. An extra layer of polyfoam in the center of the bed also adds support around the hips to limit sagging that could put a strain on the spine.

While side sleepers under 130 pounds are likely to get the most out of the Plush (medium soft) mattress, anyone between 130 and 230 pounds will probably get a better night’s sleep with the Cushion Firm (medium firm). While individuals who weigh over 230 may rest comfortably on any of the three firmness options, they may not experience ideal contouring and support.

Back Sleepers: Thanks to its close-conforming foam comfort system and supportive coil core, the Estate Hurston Mattress is an excellent option for most back sleepers. However, selecting the optimal firmness level is critical.

If you sleep on your back, chances are that you’ll want to avoid the Plush version of the Estate Hurston Mattress, as it will likely be a bit too soft for most sleepers. This firmness level is designed to let the body sink in, which may allow sagging near the midsection that could contribute to spinal misalignment.

However, both the Cushion Firm and Firm mattresses have received great ratings for back sleepers, because they provide more support to limit midsection sinkage and promote healthy sleep posture.

Stomach Sleepers: Those who prefer to sleep on their stomachs tend to need extra support to reduce midsection sagging that could cause back pain from spinal misalignment. The Estate Hurston’s polyfoam and memory foam comfort system helps cushion a stomach sleeper’s body, while an extra layer near the middle of the bed limits sinkage. Smaller coils nestled within the core’s larger springs further enhance the support.

If you’re a stomach sleeper, you’ll probably want to consider either the Cushion Firm or Firm Estate Hurston. These options provide stable support for many stomach sleepers. In particular, the Firm version allows very little sinkage for stomach sleepers of all weights.

The Plush option might also be appropriate for stomach sleepers under 130 pounds, but heavier individuals may be pulled too deeply into the bed by weight around their hips and stomachs.

Stearns and Foster Estate Hurston Mattress Review Breakdown

The Stearns and Foster Estate Hurston Mattress is available in three firmness levels: Plush (medium soft), Cushion Firm (medium firm), and Firm (true firm).

This hybrid model combines gel-infused polyfoam, gel-infused memory foam, and pocketed coils.

A Tencel lyocell cover encases the mattress to wick away moisture while letting air circulate into the bed. It is quilted with gel-infused polyfoam designed to add cushioning without trapping a lot of heat. Copper vents along the side add to the bed’s breathability, and handles make the bed easier to move.

Underneath the cover, an additional 2 inches of gel-infused polyfoam further enhances the contouring. A .5-inch layer of gel-infused memory foam adds deeper cradling while limiting the risk of sinking in against the firm core.

The support system uses dual-stage coils, which have a coil-in-coil design intended to optimize comfort and support. Each spring is pocketed to reduce motion transfer, and narrower coils around the perimeter are designed to offer good edge support and prevent sagging.

Mattress Prices and Sizing

The Stearns and Foster Estate Hurston Mattress is well priced given its materials and overall comfort level. The price tends to fall somewhere in the middle of what you can expect to pay for a hybrid mattress, which is a lot less than some of the more expensive models and brands on the market.

This is one of Stearns and Foster’s more affordably priced mattresses, but it uses many of the same quality materials you would expect from one of the company’s higher-end models.

The Estate Hurston Mattress is available in all the standard mattress sizes except for twin. You can also purchase split king size or split California king size mattresses. Additionally, Stearns and Foster produces a pillow-top version of this mattress for an additional charge.
