Charles P. Rogers Powercore Estate 5000 Firm

CR's Take

The Powercore Estate 5000 Firm is an innerspring mattress from Charles P. Rogers. Their innerspring mattresses are rated very good for overall comfort in our owner surveys, though the experience can vary from person to person. We tested the queen-size, which measures about 13.2 inches thick. Keep in mind that a mattress of this depth may call for deep-pocket or other special sheets. It has a medium feel, with a firmness of about 4.0 out of 10, where 1 is very soft and 10 is very firm. It has a layer of latex foam, an option some owners specifically seek out for a more responsive feel. It retains little warmth, so cold sleepers may find it sleeps a bit cool. Its durability is very good: After simulating about eight years of use, we measured little change in its height or firmness. It provides very good support for back sleepers. It provides satisfactory support for side sleepers. If you share the bed with a restless partner, it isolates motion very well, so you are unlikely to feel much movement.
