Brand snapshot
Founded in 1855, Charles P. Rogers builds beds and mattresses with an old-school craft streak and some very modern twists. The recent standouts are serviceability (replaceable tops) and tunability (reversible bases, cassette systems) you don’t see often in mainstream hybrids.
Lineup overview (all models)
- Estate SE — Two-part system: replaceable Euro-top + reversible base; Powercore®2 coils; firm/medium/soft tops.
- Estate SE-GL — Same base; plusher top with cooling gel foam over Talalay latex for slower contour.
- Estate 5000 — Luxury latex hybrid with Powercore® (or 2) pocketed coils; traditional, non-modular build.
- Lifetime Series — “Last mattress you’ll need” positioning; reversible/replaceable comfort cassettes, plush to firm options, lifetime-leaning value.
- Tradition — Gently firm profile with cooling gel infusion; classic feel at a slightly simpler spec.
- Regis — Firmer, slightly thinner build targeted at supportive hotel-style feel.
Estate SE & SE-GL deep-dive
Estate SE (Firm/Medium/Soft) — ~13" profile
- Oeko-Tex® knit cover with Sorona® quilting
- Double-thick Talalay latex Euro-top (replaceable)
- Reversible base with latex layer + Powercore®2 pocketed coils
- Reinforced perimeter; four-side handles
Estate SE-GL (Plush) — ~14" profile
- Same knit cover + Sorona® quilting
- Cooling gel foam over Talalay latex (replaceable)
- Reversible base with latex layer + Powercore®2
- Edge reinforcement; four-side handles
Estate 5000 overview
Estate 5000 keeps it traditional: natural latex comfort over a pocketed coil core for a lifted, supportive hybrid feel. It’s not modular like SE, but it’s the brand’s classic latex-hybrid play for folks who want a premium, sturdy build without tinkering with tops and bases.
Lifetime Series overview
The Lifetime line leans ultra-premium with a removable/replaceable cassette system and versions that span soft to firm. The pitch is longevity and tunability over time — replace the comfort cassette rather than the entire mattress.
Tradition & Regis overview
Tradition is a gently firm, cooling-forward take with a classic feel. Regis trends firmer and thinner for a supportive, hotel-grade vibe. Both aim at shoppers who want straightforward support and value without as many moving parts.
