The cushioned Estate: genuinely soft, on a serious coil
The Estate 14" Soft is the plush end of the tier: the same TEMPUR-Indulge™ memory foam and IntelliCoil® nested-coil system as the Firm, tuned to a genuine 4 out of 10 so your shoulder settles in and your hip drops into real cushion instead of bracing against the bed. It is the Estate for side sleepers who want the brand's craftsmanship in a bed they melt into, not one they lie on top of. On a soft mattress the cushion is the easy part; the support underneath decides whether you still love it a year in, and this one holds both halves.
The IntelliCoil® difference: soft, but built like a Stearns & Foster
A soft bed lives or dies on what sits under the cushion, and the Estate Soft answers with IntelliCoil: a precision coil nested inside a coil, gentle under light pressure and firmer as you press in. It firms progressively under weight, so the plush surface never turns into a sag. Lie on your side and you get the deep, pressure-relieving cradle a side sleeper needs; roll to your back and the core catches your lower spine rather than letting you fold into a hammock. That second coil engaging exactly when you need more is why Stearns & Foster builds its name on the coil rather than the quilt, and why a genuinely soft feel here does not slide into a too-soft one over the years. The foams are CertiPUR-US certified and the bed is hand-built to a standard the mass brands skip, which on a soft mattress is the line between luxurious and just squishy. The one honest trade-off of the coil core is motion: it is supportive and steady, but it passes along a little more movement than a dense all-foam or pocketed design, so a restless partner is more noticeable here than on foam.
The cooling question, answered straight
The cover is a breathable, moisture-wicking TENCEL™ fabric made with eco-friendly fibers derived from eucalyptus, and it feels cool to the touch when you first lie down. Be honest with yourself about what that does: a cool-touch cover takes the edge off at bedtime, but lasting coolness comes from airflow, not fabric. The real help here is the core, because a coil moves far more air than a solid block of foam, so the deep cushion stays comfortable through the night for most sleepers. It cuts the other way too: a plush, cushioned top breathes a little less than a firm one, so if sleeping hot is your single biggest problem, a firmer build will serve you better than any cover claim.
Where it sits, and who should look firmer
This is the pick for side sleepers and lighter bodies who want to be cradled, with a reinforced edge that keeps the soft surface usable nearly wall to wall. If you sleep mostly on your stomach, or you are heavier and need more pushback, a 4/10 will likely feel like too much give and let your hips dip out of line. The Estate Medium (5/10) splits the difference and the Estate Firm (8/10) is the supportive end. All three share the same tier materials and IntelliCoil core, so you are choosing feel, not quality. Want more cushion on top? The euro-pillow-top Estates and the Lux Estate tier add depth: see the full Stearns & Foster lineup.
Ten minutes beats ten reviews
Soft is the easiest feel to get wrong from a screen: what reads as plush to one back is too much give for another. The Estate Soft is on the floor at all five Mattress Overstock showrooms in Kentucky (Lexington on Nicholasville Road, Richmond, Georgetown, London, and Somerset), set up beside the Medium and Firm for an honest side-by-side, so you can feel where a 4/10 lands for your body. Come lie on it on your side for ten real minutes this week, no appointment needed. Because everyone on the Mattress Overstock floor is paid the same no matter which bed you choose, the guidance stays straight: the right firmness for you, not the one someone is pushing, the same reason the showrooms hold roughly 4.7 stars across hundreds of Google reviews. At fourteen inches tall, deep-pocket sheets (14 inches or more) fit best. Select your size to see the live Mattress Overstock price; the 90-night trial and 10-year limited warranty hold when you buy from a local authorized dealer, local delivery and setup are free, and your old mattress leaves with the team.
What makes this mattress different
IntelliCoil® Support
A precision coil-in-coil core that firms progressively under weight, so the soft surface cradles you without ever sagging.
Genuinely Soft, 4/10
A deep, cushioned cradle for shoulders and hips: the plush end of the Estate tier, not a marketing soft.
TEMPUR-Indulge™ Memory Foam
Deep, pressure-relieving contour: the comfort layer that makes the Soft melt in around your pressure points.
Reinforced Edge
Keeps the soft surface usable nearly wall to wall, so you sleep and sit near the perimeter without rolling off.
TENCEL™ Cooling Cover
A breathable, moisture-wicking cover made with eucalyptus-derived fibers, so the deep cushion does not sleep warm.
Coil-Core Airflow
A coil support core moves far more air than solid foam, the real source of lasting coolness on a plush bed.
Handcrafted by Stearns & Foster
Built by hand to a precision standard: on a soft bed, the difference between luxurious and just squishy.
90-Night Trial · 10-Year Warranty
Sleep on it for 90 nights, backed by the brand's 10-year limited warranty, honored when you buy from an authorized local dealer.
Plush Estate, layer by layer
The Estate Soft is deep cushion stacked over a serious coil, top to bottom:
- TENCEL™ cooling cover. A breathable, moisture-wicking knit made with eucalyptus-derived fibers, cool to the touch over the comfort layers.
- TEMPUR-Indulge™ memory foam. The deep, pressure-relieving cradle that defines the Soft and lets your shoulder and hip sink in.
- IntelliCoil® support core. A precision coil nested inside a coil that firms progressively under weight, keeping the plush surface supported instead of saggy, and moving more air than an all-foam core.
- Reinforced edge and stable base. A firmer perimeter for wall-to-wall use and a steady foundation under the whole build.
Fourteen inches tall, tuned soft (4/10), CertiPUR-US certified foams, backed by the 90-night trial and the brand's 10-year limited warranty.
What's inside a Stearns & Foster
Hand-built around IntelliCoil® (a precision coil inside a coil) under layers of cushioning foam and a tailored quilted cover.
Built for the side sleeper who wants luxury soft
Side sleepers: the headline fit. The 4/10 cushion takes pressure off the shoulder and hip while IntelliCoil keeps your spine from bowing, so you stop waking up sore and stop flipping the pillow at 3 a.m.
Luxury-plush seekers: if you want Stearns & Foster craftsmanship in a melt-in feel rather than a firm, on-top-of-the-bed one, this is the tier's soft end, hand-built, not just squishy.
Lighter-weight sleepers: soft beds suit lighter bodies that do not sink far on their own, so you get the deep cradle without bottoming out the comfort layer.
Couples: the reinforced edge gives you the full soft surface, all the way to the perimeter. One caveat: the coil core passes more motion than foam, so a very restless partner is more noticeable here.
Back sleepers who like it soft: workable if you genuinely prefer a plush surface, since IntelliCoil still supports the lumbar, but if you want firm lower-back pushback, size up to the Medium.
Stomach and heavier sleepers, look firmer: a 4/10 will likely let the hips dip out of line and feel like too much give. The Estate Medium (5/10) or Estate Firm (8/10) is the better call, same materials, more support.

Frequently asked questions
How soft is the Estate 14" Soft?
Genuinely plush, about a 4 out of 10 (where 10 is firmest). It is a deep cushion you sink into, built over a supportive IntelliCoil core so soft never means unsupported.
Is a soft bed still supportive?
Yes, and that is the whole point of IntelliCoil: a coil-in-coil core that firms progressively under weight, so the plush surface stays supported instead of sagging. The deeper you press, the more it pushes back.
Should I get the Soft, Medium, or Firm Estate?
What is IntelliCoil®?
Stearns & Foster's signature support system: a precision coil nested inside a coil, gentle under light pressure and firmer under more. It lets the bed adapt to your body point by point instead of giving one uniform feel.
Does it sleep hot?
For most sleepers it stays comfortable. The cool-touch TENCEL cover helps at bedtime, and the coil core moves more air than all-foam, which is where lasting coolness actually comes from. That said, a plush top breathes a little less than a firm one, so if heat is your single biggest issue, a firmer build will serve you better.
How tall is it, and will my sheets fit?
Fourteen inches. Deep-pocket sheets rated for 14 inches or more sit best.
Do I need a special foundation?
No. A sturdy platform, a close-slatted base, a solid foundation, or a compatible adjustable base all work fine.
What is the warranty and trial?
Stearns & Foster's 10-year limited warranty against manufacturing defects, plus a 90-night trial, both honored when you buy from us as an authorized dealer. If it is not right, exchange it for store credit toward a bed of equal or greater value.
Can I see it near me?
