Stearns & Foster Black Friday mattress sale 2024: Expert analysis

Last Black Friday, Stearns & Foster discounted their luxury Estate mattress by $400, but has since lowered the MSRP, so the standard price now beats this discount. With this precedent, it's likely that we could see further discounts on Stearns & Foster mattresses this Black Friday, beating the current free gift offer.

Last time only one model was reduced, so this year's Stearns & Foster Black Friday sale is the best we've seen as it includes all models. The free gifts and discounts get better as you move up through the brand's range, with the smallest discount of $200 on The Studio mattress, and the largest saving of $600 off plus a free $300 VISA gift card on the premium Reserve mattress.

Which Stearns & Foster mattress should you buy?

Stearns & Foster currently manufactures and sells four different mattress models, starting with the Stearns & Foster The Studio. This entry-level model is a mid-range mattress that packs in a good amount of features, including a pillowtop layer and a cooling cover featuring moisture-wicking Tencel fibers. 

We haven't tested this mattress, but we can confidently say it packs in many of the features that make similar mattresses from brands like Saatva great, so we expect it to offer an excellent sleep experience.

Then there's the Estate collection, which includes two modes - the Stearns & Foster Estate and the Stearns & Foster Lux Estate. The Estate boasts some added cooling features, with eight air vents for breathability. The Lux is made with more premium materials, offering an even more comfortable sleep. These mattresses fall into the high-end price tier, with a queen Estate going for $1,999, while the Lux is $2,999.

Finally, there is the Stearns & Foster Reserve, which is a big step up in price, with a queen selling for $4,599. The brand positions this luxury mattress as a statement piece - emphasizing its unique design and premium craftsmanship. The focus is once again on cooling and breathability, but it also boasts a taller profile, standing at 16-17". You can expect a greater degree of comfort here as well, with its Tempur-Indulge memory foam designed to match the curves of your body.

Which one is right for you will largely depend on your budget. Each tier of mattress simply adds features (and inches), meaning the more you pay, the more premium experience you're getting.

A guide to Stearns & Foster mattresses

Stearn & Foster's entry-level mattress is packed full of features. It's handcrafted structure combines pillowtop memory foam with a cooling cover, and supportive innersprings for a great all-round sleep experience. It's got a higher price point than other brand's entry-level models, with a queen size retailing for $1,799.

When compared to a competitor in the Saatva Classic, this model is priced competitively, but doesn't match the benefits - namely the generous 365-night trial, lifetime warranty and free mattress removal. Still, it stands up next many of the models in our best hybrid mattress list, so its a compelling option, especially with the added free gifts Searns & Foster offers.

The Stearns & Foster Estate is the mid-level mattress in the collection but offers a luxury feel - with a luxury price tag to boot. While you can find it slightly cheaper at third-party sellers, the MSRP represents good value, especially with the added bonus of free accessories.

The premium memory foam layer provides luxury sink-in comfort but doesn't skimp on support, thanks to the innerspring coil layer. Another major draw of this mattress is the breathability. It's cooling cover is paired with eight air vents that allow air to flow freely through the mattress, allowing for cooler, more comfortable nights.

There are several firmness options for this mattress firm to soft, plus the pillowtop options which add their own unique feel. It also boasts strong edge support.

The Stearns & Foster Lux Elite adds several features and improves on several points of the Estate, but comes with a hefty price increase too. This mattress will run you an extra $1,000 compared to the Estate. This mattress is suited for hot sleepers, as it's packed with features to help you stay cool at night. 

Additional ventilation and cool cover help reduce heat and breathable coils allow air to move through the mattress. These cooling features are what sets the Lux apart from the standard model, as well as the TEMPUR-Indulge memory foam top that contours to your body.

Our mattress tester was impressed by this model in our Stearns & Foster Lux Estate review, praising its temperature regulation and pressure relief, and reporting that it's good value for money despite the high price tag.

Last on the lineup is the Stearns & Foster Reserve mattress, the height of luxury in the brand's collection. This mattress matches upholstery-grade fabrics with premium flourishes and hand-crafted details. It's air vents provide excellent cooling, while intellicoil springs offer tailored support to sleepers of all types.

This mattress certainly is firmly in the luxury mattress cateogry, with prices starting at $4,499 and reaching up to $6,299 for a split California King. This model also comes in two SKUs - the Reserve and the Reserve Duet. The Duet is said to be 'more luxurious', which we take to mean softer, so probably one for the side sleepers.

Stearns & Foster offer free returns, however their sleep trial only lasts 90 days - not quite matching up to the 365-day trials offered by rival brands like Saatva.
