Summary: The Stearns & Foster Lux Estate brings together the cloud-like softness of Tempur foams with coils that are supportive and breathable. You can choose from four different firmness levels and there’s the option to upgrade to a pillow-top for that extra luxurious feel. This mattress is a great choice for hot sleepers thanks to the ventilated coil systems that circulate the air and keep it nice and cool. There are also external air vents so that the hot air doesn’t get trapped. This mattress also has enhanced pressure relief which our tester found out during out Stearns & Foster Lux Estate review. This mattress doesn’t have the same cradling comfort as you’d get from memory foam mattresses but it will leave your spine in perfect alignment leaving you free of any aches and pains.

Summary: The Lux Hybrid from Stearns & Foster is a really good all rounder suiting almost any type of sleeper. It comes in three firmness options and side sleepers will really benefit from the NASA-developed Tempur memory foam layers that contour to the body alleviating pressure points on the shoulders and hips. Whilst back sleepers will find that the excellent lumbar support helps to maintain proper spinal alignment. Overall the combination of foam and coils offers both comfort and support. This is also another good mattress if you sleep hot, the coils create a network of open channels for exceptional airflow, drawing excess heat away from your body as you sleep. This mattress also does a good job of isolating motion so if you’re sharing a bed with a restless partner, despite it being a hybrid the disturbance should be minimal.

Price history: The Stearns & Foster Reserve is the most expensive mattress in the brand's line up. This is an exclusive mattress that should be seen as an investment since this mattress will provide you with long-lasting comfort throughout its entire lifecycle. We do expect to see a little more money come off this mattress later on in the year but that’s only going to be a maximum of $600 like we’ve seen previously. But if you want a new bed that will keep you comfortable and cool all summer, this isn’t a deal to be sniffed at. The current $400 off plus $300 free accessories means you’ll be paying only $4,199 for a queen. And when you factor in the 90 night sleep trial, 10 year warrant and free complimentary white glove delivery, this seems like a bargain that is too good to miss.
How to choose the best luxury mattress
You can expect to pay anything between $1,000 and $5,000 for the best luxury mattresses for a standard queen size. But regardless of whether you're spending $500 or $5,000, there are certain questions you should ask yourself before buying a new mattress.Think carefully about your current sleeping situation; what sleep position do you spend most time in? Do you wake with any aches and pains? Are you a hot sleeper?
Knowing what works about your current sleep set-up will help narrow down what you are looking for in a new luxury mattress. Next, look for a mattress with a long free trial period (the Saatva, DreamCloud and Avocado Green all offer a 365 nights trial period) in order to test your mattress over a long period of time, to ensure that it is the right purchase for you.
