Introduction

Always DreamA shared passion for better materials, innovation and craftsmanship brought G.S. Stearns & Seth Foster together in the USA in the 1800’s. But our founders always dreamt of something bigger and better. We started our journey manufacturing cotton goods for carriage upholstery and we haven’t stopped dreaming since. From horse carriages and luxury hotels to the Stearns & Foster mattresses found in homes today, dreaming is part of our rich heritage. We’ll never stop.
American luxury – Stearns & Foster have been a dream partnership for over 165 years.
A tradition of qualityAt Stearns & Foster we take time to make mattresses the way they should be made. From our very first days in business, our name has been synonymous with quality materials, fine detail and masterful construction. Today we honour this heritage, using only premium materials sourced from around the world, and trusting only the most talented and meticulous craftsmen. This enduring commitment to excellence is the foundation from which every Stearns & Foster mattress is created.

SilkThe queen of fabrics. Beyond its luxurious lustre, silk is exceptional at regulating body heat. Both warm and breathable, it helps maintain a constant and comfortable sleeping temperature all year round. We use silk in our luxurious quilts, and blend it with cashmere in our Lux Estate™ Plush mattress covers for a superior sensory feel.
CashmereCashmere provides warmth and comfort in the winter, yet is cool in the summer. It doesn’t wrinkle and actually becomes softer with age. Our cashmere infused cover is available across the collection, creating even more luxury at the surface for an exquisite sleep experience.
LatexStearns & Foster latex brings comfort to your body shape, in any position. Our 100% natural latex is breathable, hypoallergenic and dust mite resistant. We use this premium latex in the SmartAlign™ Latex foam of our Lux Estate™ Plush mattress.
FINEST MATERIALS12 STEARNS & FOSTER

Only the finest materials in the world are good enough to go into a bed that bears the Stearns & Foster hallmark. We select pure materials, carefully chosen for their resilience, breathability and luxurious feel.

Glossary
Cashmere Infused CoverWarm in the winter, cool in the summer, cashmere adds an extra feeling of luxury at the surface for an even more exquisite sleep experience. It also becomes softer with age.
Cotton & Wool PadWe use a unique combination of premium US cotton and New Zealand wool to create our deep cushioning pad. We place this pad just above the innerspring inside our Lux Estate™ Plush mattress to provide even greater comfort and insulation.
Hand TuftingA craftsman threads a specialised needle through the surface of a compressed mattress. Once the needle is completely through the craftsman releases the tuft. As the compression is removed, the bed expands and pulls the tuft tight. Far superior to any other finishing technique, hand tufting not only makes the mattress more responsive, but also allows for increased longevity.
IntelliCoil™ Encased CoilOur individually encased IntelliCoil™ provides contouring comfort and essential deep down support through our unique titanium alloy, coil-in-coil design. The softer outer coil conforms to and cradles your body, while the firmer inner coil provides the support for premium sleep. Each coil is also individually encased so that when your partner moves, you don’t have to.
OUTLAST®OUTLAST® is an advanced material often used in high performance clothing and footwear because of its superior temperature regulating qualities. In a mattress, OUTLAST® material helps to create a cool feeling by absorbing excess heat to provide a soothing sleeping temperature.
PrimaCool™ Gel Memory Foam Supple and durable, our PrimaCool™ Gel Memory Foam provides comfort and support while helping to promote a cooler sleeping environment.
PrimaCool™ Quilt Cradling your body in indulgent comfort, our exclusive PrimaCool™ Quilt features deluxe fibres of naturally breathable silk and wool infused with cooling OUTLAST® material and woven around five centimetres of PrimaSense™ Gel Foam. Increasing airflow through the top layer, the PrimaCool™ Quilt helps to create a cooler, more luxurious sleep.
PrimaCore™ Comfort LayerExclusive to Stearns & Foster, the PrimaCore™ Comfort Layer works in harmony with the foam-encased innerspring system and top contouring layers of the mattress to absorb motion and provide an increased feeling of comfort. The result is a more sumptuous, uniform feel across the entire mattress. The PrimaCore™ Comfort Layer is specifically designed to help maintain an indulgent new bed feel year after year.
PrimaSense™ Gel FoamOur exclusive PrimaSense™ Gel Foam helps give you a dreamlike escape from the excess heat of your body’s naturally changing sleeping temperature. It has the ability to conform to your unique body shape and weight whilst helping promote a cool sleeping environment.
PrimaVent™ SystemStearns & Foster’s PrimaVent™ System promotes breathability, allowing for increased airflow and, in turn, a cooler, more restful sleep.
Silk and Cashmere Infused Cover Blending two of the world’s most luxurious materials, the silk and cashmere infused cover provides both warmth and breathability to promote a consistent rest no matter the season.
Available in the Lux Estate™ Plush mattress.
SmartAlign™ LatexThis latex foam senses your body weight and conforms to your curves, yet remains compression resistant.
Available in the Lux Estate™ Plush mattress.
StabiLux™ Edge SystemUnique to Stearns & Foster, the StabiLux™ Edge System provides a substantial yet comfortable sitting and sleeping edge for years to come. This allows you to use the full surface of the bed for longer, uninterrupted sleep.

Caring for your mattressYour Stearns & Foster mattress is designed to last a long, long time. However there are things you can do to keep it looking and feeling great.
When you receive your mattress, give it time to air after removing it from the plastic packaging and the new mattress smell will quickly fade. Use a proper bed frame with central support to ensure your warranty remains in effect.
Don’t flip the mattress. A Stearns & Foster mattress has comfort layers on one side. It should however be rotated on occasion to minimise body impressions in the upholstery layers.
Product care
Every Stearns & Foster mattress is handcrafted to enjoy for longer. That’s why it has a warranty for 10 years. In an increasingly disposable world, a Stearns & Foster mattress is built to last. For warranty details please visit warranty.stearnsandfoster.com
Warranty
Cleaning your mattressThough spills do happen, try to keep the mattress free of water or other liquids. We recommend using a mattress pad and vacuuming your Stearns & Foster mattress to keep it in pristine condition. For stains use a mild soap with cold water and apply lightly. Do not soak the mattress or foundation using any type of dry cleaning fluid as these can damage both the comfort of the bed and the upholstery materials.
