I don’t own an Oura Ring, but if I did, I’m confident I’d have a sleep score of 100. Over the past month, I’ve been getting that all-too-coveted good night’s sleep, thanks to my very fancy Four Seasons mattress—without a doubt, the most luxurious item in my walk-up New York City apartment. The Four Seasons is known for its luxury sleep experience, part of the reason why it’s one of the most beloved hotel chains in the world. And yes, the hotel sells the very same mattresses it supplies at its 130-and-counting properties.
I had just moved into a new apartment when I placed an order with Four Seasons at Home, eager to graduate from my temporary air mattress. I opted for the brand’s Signature mattress, in a full size, which is “designed to provide just the right balance of comfort, support, and optimal temperature management,” the website reads.
It does not come cheap, at $3,150, but such is the price of the beauty sleep Four Seasons is willing to wager you’ll receive. The company does, however, offer a limited 10-year warranty, if you’re justifying cost per use. I’ve only ever possessed run-of-the-mill mattresses in my previous apartments, but thanks to my job, I have had the privilege of staying at many five-star hotels. I was excited to see if I’d be able to achieve that hotel-room comfort at home.
What’s the delivery process?
A few days later, I received a call from the supplier, who was so cordial and accommodating—it felt like I was getting a hotel wake-up call. He informed me that the mattresses are made-to-order, and I should expect to receive a delivery in approximately three weeks (the website gives a four- to eight-week window, just to be safe). The delivery took a bit longer than expected, give or take a few days, but once I received a text from the carrier RXO, I was able to choose a delivery date. The exact time, though, was to be determined by the delivery company 24 hours prior.
Before I knew it, two men were unwrapping my lavish new amenity in my closet-size bedroom (kudos to them for lugging it up four flights of stairs). My first impression—one must always plop onto a hotel mattress upon first sight—was that it was very thick, on the firmer side, and fit perfectly in my full-size bed frame (no box spring). Had I not been sleeping on an air mattress, those brave men would’ve disposed of my old one for me, as part of the white-glove service.
How comfortable is it?
The Signature mattress makes use of both gel and memory foam, plus coil technology that minimizes motion transfer, so you’ll have support exactly where you need it. I tend to run hot while I sleep, but haven’t really broken a sweat thanks to the AirCool foam; it has a channeled design that allows air to circulate around the body. And I’m convinced the mattress has aided any muscle soreness I usually experience after an intense Pilates class, which I attribute to the targeted support in the center of the mattress. It works to ensure proper alignment, especially in the lower back. I know everyone loves their bed, but trust me when I say mine is a treat I look forward to at the end of a long day.
The Four Seasons has been an innovator in the hotel sleep game, launching its first custom mattress in 1984. And the science is no joke: The mattresses go through Cornell Durability Testing, originally developed in the Hotel Administration and Hospitality Management department at Cornell University, where they’re compressed 100,000 times over a continuous day of testing.
Is it worth it?
You heard it here first: Good sleep is in for 2026. If you, like me, are a frequent traveler, you understand how important it is to recalibrate to a consistent routine upon returning home. A solid mattress like this one will help you bounce back from unruly journeys and get your body clock back in order. You could wait to get a five-star sleep until the next time you book a hotel, or you could invest in your daily life. As Joan Didion once said, “Every day is all there is.”
