What Makes the Saatva Solaire Different?

The Solaire by Saatva uses environmentally friendly materials and air controls to give you firmness autonomy over your mattress, paired with an in-house tutorial on using the technology.

Compromise-Free Customizable Firmness

While a traditional mattress forces you and your sleep partner to come to a consensus on the level of firmness, the Saatva Solaire allows each of you to choose. Each side of a Solaire mattress comes with a remote giving each person an option to pick between 50 levels of firmness. The firmness is measured by millimeter of Mercury—the most precise way to adjust comfort.

Luxury Comfort when Paired with the Lineal Base

Firmness isn’t the only thing you can customize with the Saatva Solaire. This mattress comes complete with an adjustable base that allows you to elevate your torso and/or feet to your liking. However, the most unique aspect of the Solaire is its upper flex capabilities. Most of us have seen adjustable bases and split king beds. But have you seen a mattress that’s only split halfway down the middle? The Upper Flex capability of the Saatva Solaire is what sets this mattress apart from the rest and allows it’s sleepers to select their preferred elevation settings without disturbing their partner. Not to mention, the full-body massage function that’s included.

In-Person Setup and Tutorial

Most mattress companies have a delivery fee, but Saatva is not one of them. Not only does Saatva offer free white-glove delivery where they hand-deliver your mattress to your room, and also set it up for you. They will assemble the mattress, foundation, and frame as well as show you how to use the remote to find your ideal level of firmness and elevation. You don’t even have to worry about the hassle of disposing of your old mattress—Saatva will do it for free.

Eco-Friendly

Saatva created Solaire with the environment in mind. The organic cotton used in the cover is breathable, hypoallergenic, and treated with Guardin® antimicrobial properties.  The memory foam layer is certified by CertiPUR-US®, meaning it’s made without ozone depleters, PBDEs, mercury, lead, or other heavy metals. These eco-friendly materials are not only better for the environment, but better for your health too. The foams in the Saatva Solaire have low VOC emissions for better indoor air quality and their OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certified latex which give you a cool nights sleep.

What to watch out for

• The Solaire mattress is not offered in Twin, only Twin XL.
• Given the unique upper flex design, you will need to buy a custom fitted sheet to properly fit the shape of the Solaire mattress.
• Be aware that your Solaire mattress may have a mild scent when you unbox it – this is normal and should go away within a few hours.
• It may take up to 30 nights to get used to sleeping on your Solaire mattress – particularly if your previous mattress was a traditional innerspring mattress
• If you decide to return your Solaire mattress, you will get your money back, minus a $99 return fee.

Product Information

Now we’ll take a deeper dive into everything you need to know about the Saatva Solaire. We’ll even go as deep as each of the layers of the mattress!

Compatible Foundations

Customers have the option to purchase the Lineal Adjustable Base with their Saatva Solaire mattress which offers zero-gravity support, wave massage, and under-bed illumination. This base is compatible with most open bed frames or can be used on its own. No box spring or foundation is needed.

If you choose to forgo the adjustable base, the Solaire mattress can be used on most other foundations that provide minimal to no flex. This includes box springs, platform beds, or slatted bed frames. Saatva also offers a 4.75″ wood slatted foundation that provides better support than a box spring. This foundation is compatible with their metal bed frame which has 7 heavy-duty steel legs and sits 7.5″ off the ground.
