I don’t own an Oura Ring, but if I did, I’m confident my sleep score would be perfect. Over the past month, I’ve been sleeping better than I have in years thanks to my Four Seasons Signature mattress—the most luxurious thing in my small New York walk-up.
Four Seasons is famous for its hotel sleep experience, and the company sells the same mattresses used across its properties. I ordered a full Signature mattress from Four Seasons at Home soon after moving, ready to trade my temporary air mattress for something permanent. The mattress is billed as offering a balance of comfort, support, and temperature management.
It’s not cheap—the full Signature is $3,150—but Four Seasons offers a limited 10-year warranty. Having only owned ordinary mattresses before, and having slept in many five-star hotel beds for work, I wanted to see whether the hotel feel could translate to my apartment.
Delivery was handled thoughtfully: a cordial supplier called to explain the made-to-order timeline (about three weeks; the site lists four to eight weeks), and the carrier let me choose a delivery date once it was en route. The two delivery men unwrapped the mattress in my tiny bedroom and carried it up four flights of stairs. It arrived thick, on the firmer side, and fit my full frame without a box spring. The white‑glove service would have removed my old mattress if I hadn’t been on an air mattress.
Comfort-wise, the Signature uses gel and memory foam layered over supportive coils designed to reduce motion transfer and give targeted support. I tend to run hot, but the AirCool foam’s channeled design keeps air circulating and prevents overheating. The mattress provides noticeable support in the center, helping with lower‑back alignment and reducing post‑workout soreness after Pilates. In short, it’s a treat I look forward to at the end of the day.
Four Seasons has been refining its mattress since 1984, and their mattresses undergo Cornell Durability Testing—compressed 100,000 times in a continuous day—so the construction is taken seriously.
Is it worth it? If you value nightly recovery and often travel, investing in a high-quality mattress can help you maintain a consistent routine and recover from jet lag. You can wait for your next hotel stay or bring that five-star sleep home. As Joan Didion wrote, “Every day is all there is.”
