Nearly two centuries ago, two men dedicated to luxury and craftsmanship created the world’s first high-quality, hand-crafted mattress. Thanks to the tireless work of our founders, George Sullivan Stearns and Seth Cutter Foster, what started as a small mattress operation in Cincinnati, Ohio, has since evolved into a household name. Today, Stearns & Foster remains the oldest American-owned and operated bedding manufacturer in the country. Our history is as unique as our sleepers, so this anniversary we’d like to celebrate YOU — our family — for giving us 175 exceptional years.
At Stearns & Foster®, we take great care in hand-crafting the best night’s sleep for each of our customers. From the first stitch to the final signature, down to the materials below the cover, our customers can sleep peacefully knowing they are fully supported — night after night. Taking our quality craftsmanship the extra mile, we’re honored to construct all Stearns & Foster® mattresses with CertiPUR-US® certified materials.
The CertiPUR-US® organization specializes in the certifications of foams included in mattresses and other bedding products. This program was developed closely with leading environmentalists, chemists, accredited laboratory scientists, and bedding and furniture industry leaders. These foams have been rigorously tested for emission standards, content, performance, and durability. This certification confirms that all foam materials included in the Stearns & Foster®Studio, Estate, Lux Estate, Lux Hybrid, and Reserve models meet the organization’s rigorous standards.
A CertiPUR-US® certification affirms that these materials are:
- Made without ozone depleters
- Made without PBDEs, TDCPP, or TCEP (“Tris”) flame retardants
- Made without mercury, lead, and other heavy metals
- Made without formaldehyde
- Made without phthalates regulated by the Consumer Product Safety Commission
- Low VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) emissions for indoor air quality (less than 0.5 parts per million)
Every stitch, every seam, every detail, and every material is our top priority when it comes to designing a Stearns & Foster® mattress. We’re honored to provide our customers with not only a great night’s sleep, but peace of mind.
