I know that Four Seasons Hotels used to have custom mattresses made by Stearns & Foster, and are now switching to a Simmons model. I slept on the former - best sleep ever - and would like to buy an equivalent in King or Cal King. Four Seasons does sell their beds directly - albeit at rather steep prices. Therefore, I wonder if I could find the same (or very similar) models by both manufacturers, at other retailers. I am guessing the hotel would say that their beds are custom and are unavailable elsewhere. But I am guessing (nay, hoping, and could be wrong) that they are derivations of other, more widely available models.
Does anyone know which models from both Stearns & Foster and Simmons most closely resemble those offered by the Four Seasons? For example are S&F Lake Shore (Costco) or Hotel Collections similar?
You are heading in a very risky direction and I would read post #3 here and the posts it links to about hotel mattresses before you go any further.
I would also make sure you have read the tutorial post here before buying any mattress. It has all the basic information, steps, and guidelines you will need to make the best possible choice ā¦ and know how to avoid the worst ones (including the major brands or any manufacturer who doesnāt disclose the quality of the materials inside their mattress).
You can read more about matching one mattress to another in post #9 here but if the mattress you are trying to match doesnāt provide the information you would need about the materials inside it then the only way to āmatchā it would be based on your own subjective perceptions about which mattress āfeels likeā the mattress you are trying to match and subjective perceptions that are based on memory and arenāt making a side by side comparison in āreal timeā arenāt very reliable and and donāt tell you anything about the quality or durability of the materials in the mattress.
I would consider a complete reset in how you are looking for a mattress as you are heading in a direction that I would consider to be very risky and where you will most likely end up overpaying for a mattress that isnāt good quality or value.
yep, saw #3 after posting the above. Sage advice which I am takingā¦ Any suggestions for local stores in SF Bay Area (only saw one in Santa Cruz on your āendorsedā list)?
I just gave away a $4,000 Stearns & Foster āGolden Eleganceā queen mattress set after just two years, because the pillowtop sagged so badly that it is very uncomfortable to sleep on. However, the manufacturer warranty requires a depression of 1.5 inches before any claim can be upheld, I would like to see who would choose to sleep on a mattress that is in that bad a shape.
I would never buy another bed from Stearns & Foster or their parent company.
