Saatva Highlights

• Saatva is one of those mattresses that has all the bells and whistles: it’s customizable, made with quality materials and it’s eco-friendly (although not 100% green).
• This mattress is known for having great edge and lumbar support, make it one of the best mattresses for side sleepers, best mattresses for seniors, and overall one of the best hybrid mattresses.
• You can personalize the Saatva mattress by customizing the height, firmness and size of your mattress. If you buy a foundation from Saatva, you can customize the height of that as well.
• Saatva also offers free in-home set-up for your new mattress and free removal for your old mattress to help make the transition to your new mattress easier.

The founder of Saatva, Ron Rudzin, sleeps on the Saatva Luxury Firm mattress himself:

“I have slept on this mattress since I developed it. It’s my favorite, no question about it. It really is designed to give you the feeling you get when you’re in a luxury hotel. We’ve sold so many of them over the last 8 years. Feedback has been great, so I feel wonderful about that personally. That’s my bed to sleep on, and I love it.”

Exceptional Spine Alignment

Keeping your spine straight as you sleep is important when it comes to back pain and your overall posture. The Saatva’s luxury design got an almost perfect score for alignment, meaning it allows for the natural curve of your spine to be maintained as you sleep, and it does so without sacrificing comfort.

Durability

Scoring a 10 out of 10 for durability, the Saatva truly holds up over time. The support the Saatva mattress offers is great for all sleeper types, but it makes the Saatva an especially great mattress for heavy people who need additional support and durability from their bed.

Great Value

Saatva is categorized as a luxury online mattress: it is made with wonderful, eco-friendly materials, allows you to customize the firmness and pick the height, has an amazing delivery deal, great customer service, and is made to order right here in the US. These factors combined makes its price point of $1,099 for a queen seem like a steal. 

It’s Eco-Friendly!

The Saatva mattress was made with the environment in mind. Though not 100% organic, all of the foams used are CertiPUR-US certified, meaning it has met rigorous testing standards and is free from harmful chemicals and reduces off-gassing effects. In fact, Saatva doesn’t use any chemical processing at all!

Saatva mattress reviews on comfort:

• “Most comfortable mattress we’ve ever slept on, even ones that were much more expensive! Just firm enough without being too hard, and the extra support mid-back is a little bit of heaven. Ordering was easy, follow up was appropriate, and delivery was on time. They actually did wear gloves when delivering. We would definitely recommend this product to anyone.”
• “My mattress came in a timely manner as promised, was set up by the professionals they contract with here in my city, and I could not be happier. It is everything I’d hoped it would be and better. I cannot wait to sleep on it every evening. Believe me, this mattress is as good or better than they advertise it to be. The comfort is phenomenal.” – N Malenke

Saatva mattress reviews from customers with back and joint pain:

• “Considering that Merlin’s -my wife- shoulders suddenly ceased numbing the very first night she slept on it and my lower back -L5 fusion- discontinued aching every single morning since it arrived, one cannot give Saatva any less than the full star general line up of five. It just would not be fair.”
• “We got our mattress a few days ago. My wife has been suffering from lumbar back issues for over a year. We have tried IComfort, Stearns and Foster, and Beauty Rest mattresses. We even slept on an inflatable Coleman Mattress with a futon pad. Nothing worked. The Saatva Luxury Firm mattress has made a remarkable difference in my wife’s back pain. I sleep like a rock on it too! Wonderful company, speedy delivery, and great price. Have already recommended it to multiple friends. Thanks for producing a quality product, in America for a great price point. Thanks for the peace you have given to us.”
• “For the first time in years I could sleep on my stomach and sides without pain, numbness and tingling! I forgot to mention that I am loaded with atthritis and within the last 9 years have had to have 2 back surgeries, 2 knee replacements and a right hip replacement. Bottom line…I sleep like a baby on this mattress and I am so happy I decided to take a “leap of faith” and trust the company and their incredible customer service and return policy. Thanks Saatva!” – Joyce S.

Saatva mattress reviews on sleep quality: 

• “This was the best decision ever. I received it sooner than expected and we love it. No more aches and pains when we get up in the morning.
  According to a tracking device I recently received, I was getting an average of 3 – 4 hours of sleep every night. Now with the new Saatva, I am getting 6 – 7 hours of sleep per night.” – Carla R.
• “We have had nearly a week on our new bed and noticed how we barely moved during the night. No need to toss and turn anymore from an uncomfortable bed. We would highly recommend these beds and would purchase another one when the time comes. Note that this bed as we ordered it is quite high which we love. It needs a 108″ x 96″ quilt to cover all sides at the bed skirt line.” – MA Nagel

Product Information

Let’s take a deeper look into what makes the Saatva mattress a great luxury mattress. We’ll look into each layer of the bed and give you all the details you need to know before purchasing.

What Makes Saatva Different?

The Saatva mattress is handcrafted in independent, American factories. The mattress is made with quality materials such as organic cotton, a plant-based natural thistle, eco-friendly foams using at least 30% soy or corn oil, and recycled steel rod coil units.

While the mattress isn’t 100% organic, it is free of any harmful chemicals. In fact, you will find natural tickings on the cover of the Saatva mattress from the organic cotton material used to make it – Saatva does not use any chemical processing to rid of these markings.

Something else that’s unique about Saatva is its dual support coil system. As you can see in our “look inside” below, Saatva uses two layers of coils in the construction of the mattress – making it more durable and able to support more body weight over time.

From a convenience standpoint, Saatva is one of the few mattress companies to offer free white glove delivery and mattress removal. While other brands offer these services, they often come at an additional cost to the customer.

Mattress Specifications

Compatible Foundations

If your box spring/foundation is in very good condition, meaning it’s sturdy and has absolutely no sagging, it should work fine with the Saatva mattress. Your mattress warranty remains in place even when using your own foundation/ box spring.

Saatva also sells an adjustable base, foundation and metal frame that are all compatible with this mattress. You can choose to add these on to your purchase at checkout.

What’s Inside the Saatva Mattress?

The Saatva has a lot going on inside: there are 5 different premium material layers that make up the mattress including a coil on coil construction, memory foam and a euro pillow-top. You also have the option of choosing plush soft, luxury firm or firm.

• Plush soft: preferred by side sleepers and occasional back sleepers, great if you like feeling enveloped in your mattress
• Luxury firm: *most popular* preferred by all types of sleepers, great if you tend to switch positions in the night
• Firm: preferred by back and stomach sleepers, great if you like the feeling of floating on your mattress (instead of sinking into it)
