Our Verdict

Stearns & Foster Lux Estate

Sealy Posturepedic Hybrid

The Stearns & Foster Lux Estate is a little better than the Sealy Posturepedic Hybrid. Both mattresses have a similar medium-plush firmness and a similar feel overall. The Stearns & Foster uses a mix of good-quality and lower-quality foams, while the Sealy only includes lower-density foam, which is likely to sag or form indentations sooner. The Sealy offers better edge support, which makes it easier to get in and out of bed.
