Saatva Classic Mattress Review

Bottom Line

The Saatva Classic mattress is a plush innerspring hybrid that offers exceptional comfort and support for a lot less money than its pricey competitors. Your body is cushioned by a plush pillow top, and a second layer of coils combines strong lumbar support with some bounce. There are 3 firmness levels and 2 height options available. During our tests, we thoroughly enjoyed sleeping on this mattress, so if you're searching for long-lasting, reasonably priced luxury, we definitely recommend the Saatva Classic.

Our Experience with Saatva Classic

Award-winning luxury innerspring hybrid Saatva Classic mattresses are produced by the New York-based sleep technology company Saatva. We decided to put the Saatva Classic to the test because it has the title of "America's best-selling online luxury innerspring" and we wanted to find out why it has become so popular.

It comes in two different depths and three distinct stiffness options (Plush Soft, Luxury Firm, and Firm) (11.5 or 14.5 inches). To assist you in determining whether this is the ideal mattress for you, we've researched a Luxury Firm Saatva Classic. We simply adored it.

This mattress offers a quality sleep and gives you just the perfect balance of softness without sinking into it. Despite the Saatva Classic's slight softening, levels of support persisted after a year. Also strong and solid, the edge support showed no symptoms of deterioration. We found that the pressure reduction of the mattress was one of its standout qualities, and it was noticeable both on the first night and months later.

Consider Saatva Classic Mattress if

• You want a luxurious and breathable mattress surface.
• You suffer from back pain and you want a mattress with enhanced back support.
• Want a durable support and cooler sleep.
• You are a light sleeper and you are disturbed by motion transfer.
• Searching for a long-life mattress with no sagging edges.

Avoid Saatva Classic Mattress if

• You do not want to pay transportation costs for return and exchanges. Saatva charges a $99 transportation cost for exchanges and returns.
• You want a mattress with zero motion transfer. This mattress has a slight motion transfer since there are slight bounce from the springs (if you compare it with memory foam mattresses).

Who Is the Saatva Mattress Best For?

• Combination sleepers and those who switch sleeping positions during the night.
• Back sleepers who want a high-end mattress.
• Those seeking a premium mattress at a great price.
• Whoever seeks out one of the top orthopedic mattresses.
• People looking for a mattress that relieves back pain.
• People that choose to lie "on top" of their mattresses and not feel sunk into the mattress.

Who Is the Saatva Mattress Not Recommended For?

• Those who favor an extremely soft mattress.
• Side sleepers who are extremely lightweight and won't cause the Saatva mattress to curve around their hips.
• Whoever desires a mattress that has a slow-moving memory foam feel.

Pros

• Customizable firmness and height
• Cheaper than luxury rivals
• Free delivery
• Handmade in USA

Cons

• $99 fee to refund or exchange
• Some may find it too tall
• Minor motion transfer

Firmness, Feel and Comfort for Saatva Classic Mattress

While it is technically a luxury hybrid mattress, it’s mostly made up of pocketed coils and has a traditional innerspring feel, which is why it is referred to it as an innerspring mattress. It comes in two different depths and three distinct stiffness options (Plush Soft, Luxury Firm, and Firm) (11.5 or 14.5 inches).

This mattress provides the back with just the right support, without sinking or being too hard. The support level stays unchanged for at least 12 months, and the edges stay sturdy and firm for as long.

This mattress offers the level of luxury you'd anticipate from a much more expensive mattress while costing less than the low end of the premium range. The extras are great, too, including free white glove delivery and setup in the room of your choice, a 365-night trial, and a lifetime warranty (these match the best you'll find in the market). Regular Saatva sales and deals make it even better value (the Black Friday mattress sales, in particular, are one of the best times to buy).

Construction and Design for Saatva Classic Mattress

• Plush and breathable sleep surface
• Enhanced lower back support
• Pocketed coils that responds to body movement
• Firm edge support
• Dual coil made of 13-gauge tempered steel
• Airflow for cooler, more comfortable sleep

There are five distinct features in the Saatva Classic.

1. An organic cotton luxury Euro pillow top offers greater padding than a typical pillow top. To keep it fresh, this contains antibacterial fabric treatment.
2. The following layer is made up of individually wrapped 14.5-gauge coils that are made to conform to your body, offering custom support and relieving pressure points while minimising motion transfer throughout the mattress.
3. These are supported by a firm, long-lasting base made of oven-heated 13-gauge tempered steel support coils that work to keep the mattress from drooping over time. These two coil layers work together to form a responsive, dual support system that encourages air to circulate through the mattress while you sleep, keeping you cool.
4. Two back support features in the core of the Saatva Classic mattress increase pressure relief. One uses an active wire support in the mattress' center to deliver Saatva's "lumbar zone" technology; the other uses a memory foam layer to help your lower back feel less tense.
5. Finally, a foam encasement is wrapped around the mattress to provide edge support, stop sagging, and aid in mattress stabilization.
