OVERVIEW

Saatva is an online mattress brand that launched with the flagship Saatva Classic innerspring model. The company has introduced several subsequent mattresses, including memory foam, latex, hybrid, and airbed models. In this review, we’ll take an in-depth look at the brand’s newest model, dubbed the Saatva Latex Hybrid.

The Saatva Latex Hybrid measures 12 inches thick and offers a medium firm feel, which corresponds to a 6 on the 1-10 firmness scale. The mattress begins with a thin layer of organic wool that serves as the bed’s fire barrier and also provides added breathability near the surface. The comfort layer is composed of ventilated Talalay latex, which conforms evenly to the body like memory foam while feeling fairly responsive and bouncy. The mattress also contains a support core of zoned pocketed coils that provide excellent support, especially around the perimeter. The Saatva Latex Hybrid’s cover is made from organic cotton.

We’ll detail everything you need to know about the Saatva Latex Hybrid in terms of construction and materials, prices and available sizes, performance ratings, reviews for this model, and company policies. To learn more about other Saatva mattresses, please visit our reviews for the Saatva, Saatva HD, Loom & Leaf, Zenhaven, and Solaire models.

Ideal For:

• Sleepers who prefer a responsive mattress that conforms gently and does not sink too much.
• People who normally sleep hot.
• Those who experience difficulty getting in and out of bed.
• Mattress shoppers who would rather not set up the mattress themselves.

Considerations:

• Saatva offers free White Glove delivery throughout the contiguous U.S. This service includes in-home assembly and old mattress removal; delivery wait times may be longer as a result.
• The Saatva Latex Hybrid comes with a 365-night sleep trial. Customers can return the mattress at any point of the trial, but Saatva charges a $99 return fee.
• The mattress comes with a lifetime warranty; coverage is non-prorated for the first two years, and then owners pay a $149 fee each way if repairs or replacements are needed. Saatva also offers the Fairness Replacement Option, which allows owners to replace their mattress at a percentage of the original cost and keep the original model at no extra charge.

Saatva Latex Video Review

Mattress Performance

The Saatva Latex Hybrid is constructed with a 3-inch comfort layer of Talalay latex over a pocketed coil support core. These two components create a fairly responsive feel for the mattress, so you should expect some bounciness on the surface when you change positions or get in and out of bed. These movements can cause vibrations to transfer across the surface, which in turn can lead to sleep disruptions for you and your sleep partner.

However, the mattress performs relatively well in this category compared to other similarly constructed models. The thick comfort layer will absorb some movement and the coils are not excessively springy, so the Saatva Latex Hybrid will probably reduce sleep disturbances better than many innersprings and hybrids. People who are highly sensitive to movements in bed may want to choose a less responsive all-foam or all-latex mattress, but most people won’t experience serious sleep disruptions from the Saatva Latex Hybrid.

The Saatva Latex Hybrid offers very good pressure relief for people who weigh between 130 and 230 pounds. The latex provides good cushioning for side sleepers in order to pad the shoulders and hips, align the spine, and reduce pressure points throughout the body. Back and stomach sleepers should also experience less pressure thanks to the bed’s sturdy support system.

People in other weight groups may feel more pressure. Those weighing less than 130 pounds are likely to find the mattress a bit too stiff – side sleepers in particular – and pressure points can develop as a result. A softer mattress that conforms more closely will be better suited for these sleepers. For people weighing more than 230 pounds, the opposite is true: the Saatva Latex Hybrid may feel too soft and sag excessively in places. These individuals usually feel more comfortable on firmer mattresses.

The Saatva Latex Hybrid should sleep cool for most people. This can be attributed to its material construction. The organic cotton cover and wool fire barrier are both quite breathable. This helps to regulate the bed’s surface temperature. The latex comfort layer is also ventilated with small holes to allow air to circulate through to your body. Additionally, latex won’t trap body heat to the same extent as foam.

The Saatva Latex Hybrid’s coil system also plays a role here by promoting steady air circulation. This allows the mattress to maintain a cool core temperature. Another factor is the bed’s medium firm feel. Most sleepers won’t sink excessively into the mattress and will feel more surface airflow as a result.

Latex hybrids generally sleep quite cool, and this model is no exception. We recommend it to anyone who normally runs hot in bed.

The Saatva Latex Hybrid sinks to a minimal extent when owners sleep along the edges or get in and out of bed. This is due to the bed’s coil system, which is divided into different zones based on coil gauge, or thickness. Thicker coils are located around the perimeter of the mattress. They provide more pushback when you sit on or sleep near the edges, creating more stability. This makes the Saatva Latex Hybrid especially well suited to people who struggle getting on and off their mattress due to back pain, weight, and other issues.

Thinner coils are located throughout the support core’s interior. These coils offer more cradling and less stiffness, making the mattress more comfortable without sacrificing edge support. Over time, you may notice deeper sinkage along the edges. This can help you decide whether or not to replace your existing mattress.

Side Sleepers:

Generally, side sleepers feel more comfortable on mattresses that cushion the shoulders, lower back, and hips. This promotes even spinal alignment and reduces pressure in sensitive areas throughout the body. The Saatva Latex Hybrid has a medium firm feel and the latex comfort offers minimal padding, so side sleepers weighing less than 130 pounds are likely to find the mattress a bit too stiff. These sleepers are better suited to softer mattresses that contour closely.

Side sleepers who weigh at least 130 pounds will probably feel more comfortable on the Saatva Latex Hybrid. While the mattress does not cushion the body very much, it is highly supportive thanks to its sturdy coil system; this ensures side sleepers in this weight group won’t sink excessively around the shoulders and hips, leading to better alignment and less pressure.

Back Sleepers:

In contrast to side sleepers, back sleepers often need less contouring and more reinforcement from their mattress. This position promotes spinal alignment on its own, so the key here is to keep the body upright and on an even plane. Mattresses that sink too much can cause neck, back, and hip pain for back sleepers. The Saatva Latex Hybrid, on the other hand, is firm and robust enough to maintain a flat surface for most back sleepers who weigh up to 230 pounds. Those weighing less than 130 pounds receive enough contouring to alleviate pressure while those between 130 and 230 pounds don’t need to worry about sagging beneath their midsections.

Back sleepers who weigh more than 230 pounds may also find the Saatva Latex Hybrid comfortable, but some will sink too much and feel added aches and pains. A firmer mattress may be a better option if you sag excessively on the Saatva Latex Hybrid – though as we’ve already said, deep sinkage will probably not be an issue with this mattress.

Stomach Sleepers:

Like back sleepers, stomach sleepers usually require added support from their mattress. This position is associated with more aches and pains because most people carry a disproportionate amount of weight in their stomachs. Sleeping face-down can then cause the entire body to sink beneath the surface, which in turn may lead to neck, shoulder, lower back, and hip pain. The Saatva Latex Hybrid’s medium firm feel is best suited to stomach sleepers who weigh between 130 and 230 pounds. They’ll rest on an even plane without sinking too much, and the mattress is soft enough to cushion the body.

Stomach sleepers who weigh less than 130 pounds may find the mattress too firm. This can make the surface feel stiff and cause more pressure to build up in sensitive areas. For stomach sleepers who weigh more than 230 pounds, the mattress will feel fairly supportive but some will still sink excessively.

Saatva Latex Hybrid Mattress Review Breakdown

The Saatva Latex Hybrid begins with a thin layer of organic wool batting. This material is naturally flame-proof, so this component acts as a fire barrier to protect the mattress and keep you safe. Thanks to wool’s natural breathability, this layer also helps to cool off the surface. The wool has been certified as organic by the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS), one of the leading authorities on these types of mattress materials. Beneath the wool lies a 3-inch comfort layer of Talalay latex. Talalay is a light and bouncy type of latex that gently conforms to the body without sinking excessively. The latex is also ventilated with small holes to promote added airflow near the mattress surface.

The Saatva Latex Hybrid’s support core features pocketed coils laid out in a zoned configuration. Thicker coils line the perimeter of the mattress to provide push-back when you get on and off the bed. As a result, sinkage should be minimal – even for people who weigh more than 230 pounds. Thinner interior coils deliver more cradling for your body and won’t feel as stiff as the coils along the edges. An “Eco Loft” pad reinforces the coils for extra support.

The entire mattress is encased in a cover of breathable organic cotton that has also earned GOTS certification. The fabric is given an antimicrobial treatment to stave off dust mites, mold, and other allergens. Altogether, the Saatva Latex Hybrid measures 12 inches thick, making it a high-profile mattress. It is considered medium firm and rates as a 6 on the 1-10 firmness scale.

Mattress Prices and Sizing

The Saatva Latex Hybrid’s price is on par with the average sticker price of a latex hybrid, which falls between $1,600 and $2,200 in a queen size. There are no add-ons to the mattress or customization options that affect cost.

Compared to other queen size Saatva models, the Saatva Latex Hybrid has a middle-of-the-road price-point. It costs more than the Saatva Classic and Loom & Leaf, and costs less than the Zenhaven, Saatva HD, and Solaire models.

Current prices for the Saatva Latex Hybrid in each available size are listed below, along with dimensions, thickness measurements, and weights.
