Stearns & Foster Comfort Scale®

The Stearns & Foster 10 Point Scale: It's Easy to Use

Stearns & Foster mattresses are categorized on the 10 point Comfort Scale®. It's important to understand the difference between support and comfort, as the comfort of a mattress is unrelated to the support your body receives from its inner structure.

1: The Firmest Mattresses

A Stearns & Foster mattress with a rating of 1 would give you the feeling of sleeping on your living room's carpeted floor. A rating of 1 doesn't really exist in bedding today, but it is very possible that, with advancing mattress technology, this level of hardness will become a reality. For now, consider it as a reference point at the base of the Comfort Scale.

2 to 4: Hard, Like Sleeping on a Carpeted Floor

If you can sleep comfortably on your living room floor without suffering aches and pains when you wake up, then a Stearns & Foster mattress with a Comfort Scale rating of 2 to 4 will be ideal for you. These mattresses feel hard to very hard.

4.5 to 6.5: Mid-Range, a Good Compromise

Stearns & Foster Mattresses in this category are great if you are in-between the other comfort ratings or if your partner and you prefer opposite ends of the Comfort Scale. Mattresses in this range make a great "compromise" mattress. If you just don't have a preference, then a Comfort Scale rating of 4.5 to 6.5 is a good choice for you.

7 to 9: Conforming Softness

Do you find yourself trying to increase the softness of your current mattress with a down feather mattress pad? Do you love the way a waterbed feels? If so, you'll find the most satisfaction in a Stearns & Foster mattress with a Comfort Scale rating of 7 to 9. These beds are very soft. They are usually pillow tops, but some plush beds are found in this category as well.

10: Super Soft

A mattress with a rating of 10 would give you the sensation of sleeping on a cloud. Obviously, this is impossible. Use the 10 rating as a reference point for the softest mattress you could possibly have.
