Saatva Mattress Review

The Saatva Mattress ships within the contiguous United States and some parts of Canada.

The Saatva Mattress is currently sold through the Saatva website. You can try the Saatva in person at the Saatva Viewing Room or the SleePare showroom in New York City.

The Saatva Mattress ships to locations in the contiguous United States and parts of Canada. Free in-home delivery and setup are available in the United States. A team brings in the mattress, moves it to the room of choice, unpackages it, sets it up, and removes the old mattress.

Mattresses are constructed after the customer places the order, so the expected arrival dates may vary.

Saatva offers free White Glove delivery and old mattress removal within the contiguous United States.

The Saatva Mattress comes with a 365-night trial. The trial period begins on the day of delivery. During this timeframe, customers can return their mattress for a refund of the purchase price. The company will arrange to pick it up, and a $99 transportation charge will be deducted from the refund of the purchase price.

The Saatva Mattress comes with a 1lifetime warranty. For the first two years of the warranty period, Saatva will replace mattresses it finds to have qualifying defects. Beginning in year 3, Saatva will repair and re-cover the mattress, and the customer will be responsible for a $149 transportation charge.

A “Fairness Replacement Option” is also available as a remedy for defective mattresses. This option allows you to keep your original mattress and get a new mattress at a reduced rate.

This warranty applies to the original purchaser of the mattress. The mattress must have been used on a proper foundation and be free of abuse. Additional terms and conditions apply.

Saatva mattresses are made in the U.S. The company operates 19 factories and 145 fulfillment centers across the country. Roughly 2,500 mattresses are manufactured each week. The average Saatva mattress travels fewer than 100 miles between the factory where it’s produced and the buyer’s residence.

Saatva mattresses are “bench built,” meaning one craftsman facilitates the process of transforming the raw materials into a finished product. The company does not rely on any foreign manufacturers. All foams and 85% of other mattress materials are also sourced in the U.S. The additional 15% of materials may be internationally sourced.

Whether a mattress is “good” or “bad” for you depends on a few factors, such as your body type, primary sleep position, and general preferences for firmness and contouring levels. Each individual mattress has a design and material composition that makes it better suited to some sleepers than others.

That said, mattresses with multiple firmness options like the Saatva Classic can accommodate a wider range of sleepers than those with a single fixed design.

• Saatva Classic models with a plush soft feel – or a 3 on our 10-point firmness scale – feature extra padding in their Euro-top layers and provide the closest body contouring. Side sleepers who weigh up to 230 pounds and back and stomach sleepers weighing less than 130 pounds will probably find this firmness level most comfortable.
• Models with a luxury firm (6) contour to a moderate extent and also offer a decent amount of support. This mid-range firmness best suits side and back sleepers who weigh 130 to 230 pounds, though luxury firm models have earned favorable ratings from most of our testers who weigh 230 pounds or less, regardless of sleep position.
• The firm (7) feel features less Euro-top padding than the other two firmness levels, resulting in extra support and very little contouring. Back and stomach sleepers who weigh 130 pounds or more will likely prefer these models, though they have also earned rave reviews from side sleepers weighing more than 230 pounds.

The Saatva Classic is available in two profiles: 11.5 or 14.5 inches. The 11.5-inch model features a bonnell coil support core measuring 4 inches thick, while the 14.5-inch model’s support core measures 7 inches thick. The latter provides a little extra support that may appeal to sleepers who weigh more than 230 pounds.

In terms of overall quality and performance, our testing team has awarded positive ratings for the Saatva Classic in categories like edge support, temperature neutrality, ease of movement, responsiveness for sex, and odor potential. Below-average motion isolation – a common issue with innersprings and hybrids – appears to be one shortcoming of the mattress, and some Saatva Classic models struggle in certain categories due to their firmness level. However, keep in mind our ratings are highly subjective and may not reflect your experience with this mattress.

Most online mattress and sleep product brands use standard ground shipping for their orders. Saatva is a bit different because the company offers free White Glove delivery, which includes in-home assembly and removal of your old mattress and box spring. Since White Glove delivery is scheduled, wait times will vary by customer.

Saatva Classic models are built to order, which means production of your mattress will begin as soon as you’ve placed your order. After the mattress has been built, inspected, and prepared for shipping, Saatva’s White Glove delivery team will contact you to schedule a delivery date. One day prior to this delivery date, you’ll receive another email to confirm a 4-hour delivery window.

An adult aged 18 years or older must be at the residence during the delivery. If you’re running late and the couriers arrive, they’ll wait 20 minutes before leaving. You may reschedule the delivery at no extra charge. If the White Glove couriers are late to arrive on the delivery date, a team member will contact you to alert you of the delay and reschedule as needed.

Saatva’s free White Glove delivery also extends to the brand’s other mattress models, bed frames, and adjustable bed bases.

You don’t necessarily need a box spring for your Saatva Classic, but this may be the most comfortable option. Box springs are a rectangular base featuring interior coils and a fabric-upholstered exterior. Box springs were originally designed with innersprings like the Saatva Classic in mind, but they may not provide enough support for heavier all-foam or all-latex models.

Alternatively, you can use a foundation with your Saatva Classic. Foundations don’t feature coils like box springs but they still deliver plenty of support. They also tend to be more durable than box springs. However, one downside to foundations is that they lack the cushioning of box springs and may make your mattress feel firmer than preferred.

If you own a box spring and decide you’d like to use a foundation with your new Saatva Classic, remember that Saatva’s White Glove couriers will remove your old box spring during delivery for no extra cost.

The Saatva Classic’s multiple design options means the mattress can accommodate sleepers across different position groups. That said, some firmness levels for the mattress will feel more comfortable for certain sleep positions than others.

Saatva Classic ratings from side sleepers in our testing crew varied by weight group. Side sleepers who weigh less than 130 pounds gave the most favorable ratings to Saatva Classic models with luxury plush (3) firmness levels. Those who weigh 130 to 230 pounds awarded the highest ratings to models with the luxury firm (6) feel. Lastly, side sleepers weighing more than 230 pounds gave the best ratings to models with the firm (7) feel.

Based on our evaluations, the Saatva Classic’s profile did not play a major role in tester experiences. Our side sleepers found the 11.5-inch and 14.5-inch models equally comfortable and supportive.
