Stearns & Foster Mattress Buying Guide

Posted on 1.11.23

Established in 1846 in Cincinnati, OH, Stearns & Foster started out by producing cotton-based goods such as wadding and upholstery for horse carriages. Soon after, they began creating high-end mattresses focused on comfort and quality for luxury hotels. Stearns & Foster is now celebrating 175 years of exceptional craftsmanship, quality, design, and comfort. They hand-craft their mattresses by carefully layering the right materials in order to deliver a luxuriously refreshing sleep time and time again.

In 1993 the company merged with Sealy to become one of the most-trusted mattress brands in America and later successfully launched Stearns & Foster in 2009. They don’t believe in sacrificing comfort for design, which is why they practice time-honored craftsmanship on all of their mattresses.
