Saatva Mattresses Review

Overview and Pricing

The Saatva mattress is best known as a “coil on coil” mattress, although it is, in fact, a hybrid, as it includes layers of memory foam. The product features two sets of individually wrapped coils that respond to body contour, as well as tempered steel coils that prevent sagging over the long term. This mattress has a foam-encased edge that provides more sleep surface than an average memory foam mattress, and a plush Euro pillow top that provides additional cushioning.

The mattresses have five key features:

1. Individually wrapped comfort coils in the top portion of the mattress that are designed to respond and contour to every body shape.
2. A Dual Perimeter Edge Support System – this is foam encased anti-sag edge support for better durability.
3. Lumbar Support Enhancement – this a high-quality memory foam layer that provides pressure relief and helps to reduce stress and tension in the lower back.
4. Steel Coil Base Support System – this is a tempered steel support lower coil base. It ensures that the mattress is long-lasting and sustainable.
5. Organic Cotton Cover & Euro Pillow Top – The pillow top provides more cushioning materials and features Guardin® botanical antimicrobial fabric to inhibit bacteria and prolong the life of the organic cotton fabric.

The mattresses are available in three firmness levels: Plush Soft, Luxury Firm, and Firm. But what’s the difference between each type?

• Plush Soft is ideal for side sleepers who like to feel enveloped by their bed and have trouble with their arms falling asleep before they do.
• Luxury Firm provides the same firmness as that found in luxury hotels. This type is excellent for all sleeping positions. It is also the perfect compromise for couples with different sleep needs, or for those who change positions a lot during sleep.
• The Firm level is for those who sleep on their back or stomach and prefer to float on their mattress rather than sink into it.

Because of the way the mattresses are constructed, they provide excellent motion isolation. In other words, you can move around on the mattress without disturbing your partner. Furthermore, another huge advantage of the coil system is that it allows for excellent air ventilation. This will ensure that the mattress stays cool at all times.

Health Factors

As the Saatva mattress is available in three levels of firmness, you can choose the level that is best suited to your health needs. If you are suffering from lower back pain then the Luxury Firm offers the best balance of cushioning and support. Alternatively, you can opt for the level recommended by your health care professional and be sure you are getting exactly what you need. Thanks to this, the mattress will be able to help alleviate all manner of back aches and pains.

Comfort Guarantee

Saatva is confident that you will grow to love their mattresses. That is why they offer a 120-day risk-free sleep trial from the day of delivery. If at any point during that period you decide that you are not happy with the mattress then you can return it in exchange for a full refund, excluding the $99 transportation cost. Thanks to this, you can be sure that if you are unhappy with the mattress for whatever reason, you will lose only a minimal amount.

Warranty

If the mattress is defective due to workmanship or structural issues within the first two years of ownership then it will be replaced at no cost – including delivery. If a defect is discovered between 3 and 15 years of ownership then it will be repaired without any additional cost. Furthermore, you can pay 25% of the purchase price to have the mattress completely replaced if there are less than six years left on the warranty. However, the warranty is only guaranteed if you use a platform bed. The warranty will be void if you use a metal frame with fewer than four legs, or six legs and center-line support for King and Queen sizes.

Lifespan

Saatva claims that their mattresses have a lifespan of 12 to 15 years, which is much longer than budget foam and spring mattresses. This is backed up by their warranty, as explained above. To help increase the mattress’ lifespan it is recommended that you rotate the mattress six months after delivery and once per year thereafter. You should not flip these mattresses as this will result in the layers being back to front. If you need to clean the mattress you can spot clean it with a small amount of antibacterial soap and a damp sponge. Be sure never to saturate the mattress with water.

Comparison

The Casper and the Saatva are worth comparing if you’re thinking about purchasing one of these mattresses. The Casper is an all-foam mattress which arrives in a box – the polar opposite of the Saatva, which is largely comprised of springs and doesn’t come in a box. The Casper has layers of Zoned Support, which are designed to relieve pain points around the lower back and shoulders. It’s also cheaper than the Saatva, so worth considering if you’re on a budget.

Key Features

• Provides more bounce and airflow than many other online brands on the market
• Gives customers a traditional mattress feel with added lumbar support
• Allows users to sleep on top of the mattress as opposed to within it
• Uses eco-friendly materials and high-end, durable construction

Saatva Complaints

• Not suitable for those who are sensitive to their partner moving around in bed a lot or getting up frequently during the night
• Not the best choice for those who don’t like a mattress with bounce
• Won’t cradle the body as much as hybrid or memory foam mattresses
• Possibility of the Euro-top layer compressing over time and leaving an indent in the mattress

Suitable Sleepers For Saatva

Back Sleepers: You’ll get the right level of support with this mattress if you’re prone to primarily sleeping on your back. This is because the product makes use of springs and designs around specific lumbar regions. As the back sleeper will experience their hips dipping into the mattress slightly, they will have their spine align properly to avoid back pain once they wake up.

Stomach Sleepers: These sleepers need enough support so their backs don’t arch in such a way that it falls out of alignment with the rest of the body. Fortunately, the Saatva mattress will provide them with what they need.

Side Sleepers: If you sleep on your side during the night, you will typically need a bed with medium to soft support in order to provide the right pressure relief. However, the Saatva is a mattress with medium to firm support, so it may not work for all side sleepers. That being said, if you are of a medium to heavy weight and sleep on your side, you should find this mattress satisfactory.

Light Sleepers: As mentioned above, medium to heavy sleepers will have more luck with this style of mattress due to the specific designs involved. This is because lighter sleepers, especially on their side, will struggle to have their body aligned correctly during the night. In such a scenario, a sleeper may be better off considering an option such as the Plush Soft model. This is because they will be able to experience better sinkage, leading to the right level of alignment and pressure relief and therefore reducing the risk of joint or back pain.

Heavy Sleepers: Those who are significantly heavier and sleep on their backs or stomachs are advised to look at the firmer Saatva models in order to receive enough support during sleep, and to prevent sinking down too far into the mattress. That being said, one of the main benefits of this bed is that there is little risk of bottoming out.

Verdict

The Saatva mattresses are an excellent choice for those looking for a premium mattress with an affordable price tag. The double coil system ensures that the mattresses provide excellent comfort while the memory foam adds support. Furthermore, the choice of firmness levels ensures that everyone will find a mattress which suits their taste. All in all, Saatva mattresses represent excellent value for money.
