Editor's Note
• Stewart and Hamilton is a low-cost innerspring hybrid pillow-top sold at American Freight and other retailers.
• They have a 5-year warranty (average is 10-15 years), and poor construction & material quality (users complain about longevity).
• Buy a good mattress if you want that innerspring 'feel'. We recommend Saatva Classic (the #1 Stewart Hamilton alternative). They make high-end, super-comfortable innerspring hybrids. Customer service is great (they're arguably the best in the industry) & they have friendly policies. Check Saatva Classic out, here.
Here are several relevant and useful comments from buyers considering or have already purchased Stewart And Hamilton Mattress.
• User 1: "Looks can be deceiving!! Bought this because it was advertised as soft and cooling! Neither of which I got with this mattress. It immediately dipped down and lost its shape on my husbands and my side and we are pretty small people. Hubby only weighs 135-140 I weight a bit more but I rotated the mattress like I was supposed to and everything but it hurts us so bad. We wake up everyday in so much pain. So we are searching for a new mattress now!!"
• User 2: "The coils dig into my side so i doubled up two comforters to make it bareable but going to have to add a third. the coils feel very loose and i get a touch of vertigo when i lay down on it.The mattress feels like i need to conform to it not it conforming to me."
• User 3: "I bought mine not even 2 Mo the ago. It's warped. And I only weigh 130lbs so Weight isn't the problem. Now I'm stuck with it, got it at discount price because the store here in Waukesha was closing. Not to mention I did $65 delivery fee and 1 guy brought it tied to the top of his Saturn. So much for a good night's rest."

COMFORT OVERVIEW
Comfort, feel and overall firmness for Stewart And Hamilton mattress is extremely subjective.
Firmness isn't the only factor to consider when you're mattress shopping.
Choosing the right bed starts with figuring out how your body responds to lying at different angles.
It's important to understand how a mattress relieves pain and distributes pressure on your sensitive points (neck, shoulder, upper back, lower back, arms, hips, legs), as well as how it feels for couples and sex.
COMFORT SUMMARY
Firmness is very subjective and greatly differs between two people. What's firm for you might be extremely soft for someone else.
Be cautious about reviews that make definitive claims about how you'll feel sleeping on a mattress.
Stewart & Hamilton offers plush and medium firm models.
It'll probably support most positions for a few months (if that). What happens beyond that is anyone's guess (because it's relatively low quality).
After a few years, don't expect its firmness to retain its shape.
EDGE SUPPORT
• Edge support is likely not good. Low retail price means materials they use to bolster their edges is either nonexistent or poor quality. We doubt the edges last more than 1-3 years with consistent use.
• Online specs give almost no granular detail on steps they take to bolster their edge support outside '365' foam encasement.
Note: If a mattress uses low-quality materials, it might feel supportive at first, but break down quickly.
Inadequate edge support means less sleep surface (which is not desirable, especially if you sleep with a partner).
SIDE SLEEPERS
• Your shoulders, hips and torso must evenly distribute support if you sleep on your side. Otherwise concentrated pressure causes long term nerve and pain-related issues.
• Look for Stewart and Hamilton's plush model - this is ideal for side sleeping. Their softer version has a great balance of cushioned firmness and contouring support (essential for side sleeping).
BACK/STOMACH SLEEPERS
• When you sleep on your back & stomach, your biggest concern should be finding a mattress that keeps your hips from sinking too far in. This knocks your spine out of alignment.
• Stewart and Hamilton mattresses provide adequate support while still feeling contouring to your sensitive areas. Overall, this makes it a decent choice for back and stomach sleepers.
