Luxury That Lasts Generations: Why Stearns & Foster is Still America’s Mattress of Choice

When you think of American classics, what comes to mind? Maybe a Ford Mustang, a Coca-Cola bottle, or a baseball glove worn in just right. But here’s one you might not expect: Stearns & Foster mattresses — a true symbol of craftsmanship that has stood the test of time since 1846.

That’s right — Stearns & Foster has been manufacturing luxury mattresses longer than light bulbs have even existed, and before Abraham Lincoln became president. That’s nearly two centuries of perfecting the art of better sleep.

At Mattress Gallery Direct, we’re proud to bring this legacy of comfort and craftsmanship to our local communities in Franklin, Murfreesboro, and Smyrna, Tennessee.

Why Stearns & Foster Still Matters Today

You might wonder — how does a mattress company founded in the 1800s stay relevant in today’s high-tech world? The answer is simple: uncompromising quality and timeless techniques.

Stearns & Foster believes that if something worked beautifully back then, it can still work today — just elevated with the best materials modern science has to offer. Let’s take a closer look at what makes these mattresses so exceptional:

Old-World Craftsmanship, Modern Comfort

🧵 Hand-Stitched Attention to Detail
Every Stearns & Foster mattress still showcases meticulous craftsmanship, with hand stitching and thoughtful detailing you can see and feel.

🌿 Premium Fabrics & Textiles
Instead of relying on synthetic blends, they use high-grade cotton, wool, silk, and TENCEL™ fibers to create a naturally breathable surface.
(Keep in mind — when these mattresses were first made, there was no such thing as central air conditioning. Staying cool during hot nights was a real art form!)

🔧 The Game-Changer: IntelliCoil® Technology
One of Stearns & Foster’s most brilliant innovations is their patented IntelliCoil® design.

• The outer coil gently conforms to your body’s curves.
• The inner coil provides deep, adaptive support exactly when you need it.
  This layered approach gives a luxurious yet supportive feel — a rare combination that works for a wide range of sleepers.

🛏️ Pressure-Relieving Comfort Layers
Now part of the Tempur-Sealy family, Stearns & Foster has access to the world’s top pressure-relieving materials. Their proprietary comfort layers provide a plush, weightless feel while reducing tossing and turning at night.

Move Forward — by Sleeping “Back in Time”

While the foundation of Stearns & Foster’s design is rooted in old-world values, their mattresses are fully compatible with today’s best sleep technology — including premium adjustable bases. Upgrade to a zero-gravity base, and you’ll experience an entirely new level of customized comfort, combining historic craftsmanship with modern wellness benefits.

Imagine:

• Reduced pressure on your spine
• Improved blood circulation
• Enhanced breathing during sleep
• Waking up refreshed like never before

In other words, you can have the best of both worlds — the luxurious charm of the past, and the advanced technology of today.
