Without further ado, our Saatva Mattress Review:

Saatva claims on their website that they are “America’s best-priced luxury mattress.” This declaration came following a successful launch in 2010. Saatva is one of the only direct-to-consumer mattress companies selling beds with springs and a pillow-top. In 2017, the Saatva mattress became available to some Canadian cities; however, the company has since pulled out of Canada in order to focus on their American clientele.

Thanks to modern compression methods and the rising popularity of the bed-in-a-box, mattresses can now be shipped far more efficiently and conveniently than ever before. Customers no longer need to take a day off work to accept a delivery. Boxed beds are now delivered with the same convenience as most Amazon orders. Some bed-in-a-box companies even offer same-day delivery to certain areas.

Unlike bed-in-a-box mattresses, Saatva ships their mattresses via white glove delivery, bringing a fully expanded mattress to the customer’s home and setting it up. Locally contracted logistics companies are contracted to fulfill the white-glove delivery service. Shipping is free for most locations, and Saatva customers can expect their new mattress to be delivered within 9 to 18 days.

It is worth noting that Mattress-Reviews.com did not complete the return process for the Saatva mattress, but received this information via Saatva’s website and via their ‘Live Chat’ function.

Unlike most online mattress companies, the Saatva mattress is not delivered to you in a box. A white glove delivery service is included in the price of the Saatva mattress. This means that the Saatva mattress is shipped from Saatva’s manufacturing facility to a locally contracted delivery company. From there, the delivery crew will bring it directly to the bedroom, place it on the desired bed frame, and remove all of the mattress packaging once the Saatva mattress has been set up. The Saatva arrives at its expected firmness level.

Saatva is one of the leaders in the online mattress space. Though they once had very few competitors in the direct-to-consumer innerspring segment, now brands like Helix and Logan & Cove are driving prices down within the segment. A hybrid design, the Saatva mattress combines innerspring and memory foam technology, which companies like Sealy, Serta, Simmons, and Logan & Cove also excel in. Saatva uses this design approach to provide comfort and support with great motion isolation.

Saatva Mattress Layers

The Saatva mattress contains four layers. This combination of foam and steel springs helps create a custom level of comfort and support.

• First layer: 3-inch bio-foam pillow-top. According to Saatva’s customer service, this European-style top is faster to respond than traditional memory foam; this allows the top to return to its original shape quickly. 

• Second layer: 5/8-inch soft foam layer and 3/8-inch visco lumbar pad. This layer provides an additional level of support directly under the bio-foam in the pillow-top.

• Third layer: 4-inch individually wrapped coil system. The transitional layer of individual pocketed coils serves to contour the body and relieve pressure points. 

• Fourth layer: 7 inches of connected hourglass-shaped coils. This base support system is composed of recycled tempered steel to provide a sturdiness to the upper layers of the mattress.

The Saatva mattress also has edge support foam around the perimeter of the mattress.

Of note: The densities of the foam used in the pillow top of the Saatva mattress vary between firmness levels. Unfortunately, the foam density information is not available on the Saatva website. When Mattress-Reviews.com contacted the Saatva customer service representatives via online chat, we were advised that the foam densities range anywhere between 1.5lbs/ft³ and 1.8 lbs/ft³.

Saatva Mattress Cover

The Saatva mattress cover is white with gold trimming, featuring gold script that boldly states its brand and its use of organic cotton. The cover is sewn onto the mattress like most traditional mattresses and is not removable, nor washable. This means part of the upkeep of this mattress is thorough spot cleaning when spills and stains are present.

The top-cover material is a soft organic cotton knit. According to Saatva’s website, the fabric on the Saatva mattress receives an antimicrobial treatment, which prolongs the life of the cotton, inhibits bacteria, and gives customers with sensitivities to allergens a strong peace of mind.

Consumers are becoming more environmentally conscious when making purchases. Retailers both in and out of the mattress industry have been incorporating more eco-friendly and ethical policies when selling products and choosing suppliers.

GoodMorning.com Inc. carried out a survey in February 2017, discovering that almost 50% of Canadians are willing to spend more money for more environmentally friendly products. Therefore, in every review on Mattress-Reviews.com, we will highlight each mattress company’s green philosophy, as well as how prominent their policies are on their websites.

Feel & Firmness

The luxury firm version of the Saatva mattress has a medium-firm feel. According to the testing conducted by third-party engineers (commissioned by us), it comes in at a 6.3 / 10 on the firmness scale. The Saatva mattress does not have excessive ‘hug,’ and the pillow-top comfort layers give it a degree of softness as you lie down. Its supportive innersprings ensure there is no excessive sinkage.

Motion Isolation

Motion isolation in hybrid mattresses is usually very good and one of the main considerations for mattress shoppers who share their bed with a partner. According to the testing conducted by third-party engineers (commissioned by us), minimal motion transfer was detected with the Saatva mattress, and it ranked 6.4 / 10 on the motion isolation scale.

Edge Support

Innerspring mattresses are known for their edge support when compared to foam mattresses. It is often one of the main inquiries for mattress retailers from customers looking to purchase a new mattress. According to the testing conducted by third-party engineers (commissioned by us), the luxury firm version of the Saatva performs above average for spring mattresses, rating at a 8.8/ 10 on the edge support scale.

Bounce

Mattresses containing springs are known for having much better bounce when compared to foam mattresses. According to the testing conducted by third-party engineers (commissioned by us), the Saatva mattress ranked 8.3 /10 on the bounce scale.

Remember, Mattress-Reviews.com is owned, operated, and paid for by GoodMorning.com Inc. and advertises the Octave, Douglas, Juno, and Logan & Cove brands. The following is strictly our competitive opinion:

---

Saatva has been in business since 2010 and is one of the first online pillow-top spring hybrid mattress brands on the market. They offer three different firmness levels to suit each customer’s need. Their 365-night trial is very generous, but Saatva does withhold a part of the refund for transportation fees if the customer ends up returning their purchase. Customers who are willing to spend a little more on a quality hybrid mattress are likely to gravitate towards Saatva, though they are encouraged to investigate similarly priced alternatives.
