Sleep is one of the most important factors in our overall well-being. Seven to nine hours of uninterrupted rest is essential to our cognitive functioning, mood, mental health, and cardiovascular, cerebrovascular and metabolic health. And while there are a number of factors that go into achieving that essential sleep state, including exercise and stress management, the quality of one’s mattress can also have a major impact. But what is the ideal mattress exactly?
The kind of mattress you need is highly individual: You want it to be firm enough to support your spine, yet soft enough to allow your shoulders to sink in slightly. According to a 2024 study, “well-balanced firmness level is essential to achieve optimal comfort and support in mattress design.” And in a systematic review of 39 sleep-research articles, the authors concluded that “it can be claimed that medium-firm mattresses offer more advantages to subjects with non-specific low-back pain.”
Firmness and support can take many different forms, though — which is where Saatva’s thoughtfully designed options can make all the difference. From hybrid coils and foam to a model specifically designed for conditions like sciatica, the brand has a mattress for everyone. Read on to find yours, and get your best sleep yet.
Think of the Saatva Classic as the best of all worlds — a balance of dual-coil springs that cushion pressure points and stay responsive for years to come, plus three cushiony inches on top. This just-right combination is the answer if you like the support of springs, but the plushness of a foam topper. Its universally appealing feel also makes it a great choice for guest rooms. Bonus: The pillow top comes in three different firmness levels.
Staying cool is essential to getting a great night’s sleep — and the downside of many foam mattresses is that they can reduce airflow. Not so with the Saatva Contour5, which offers the body-enveloping hug of high-density memory foam, with technology designed to keep you cool by drawing heat away from the surface. The supportive foam molds to your body, making it ideal for side sleepers who can wake up with sore hips or shoulders on a firmer mattress.
Any high-quality mattress should support your back properly, but features targeted specifically to the spine and joints can offer additional relief to people with chronic back pain. Beds with “active control” features that are responsive to the body improve sleep quality, reduce risk of developing low back pain and improve column alignment and sleep quality.
The Saatva Rx is endorsed by chiropractors, in part for its Therapeutic Support Core, featuring springs topped with two inches of individual foam that cradles your body and eliminates motion transfer. The Rx also has firmer springs around the edge of the mattress, which provide subtle support for getting in and out of bed. Saatva’s patented Lumbar Zone layer stabilizes the center of the mattress, and helps relieve back pain by keeping your spine in healthy alignment.
It can be hard enough to find just the right mattress for one person — and sharing a bed with a partner who has opposite preferences can lead to two tired, unhappy people. Adjustable mattresses have long been available to address this issue, but the Saatva Solaire Adjustable Firmness Mattress takes the technology to the next level with 50 firmness settings that can be adjusted separately.
If you sleep best on a buoyant mattress, a model made completely of layered latex foam can help you float off to dreamland — and stay there. The Saatva Zenhaven features organic natural latex that’s breathable, as well as GREENGUARD Gold & eco-INSTITUT certified to be low in VOCs, so you can sleep easy.
The Zenhaven also gives you the option to flip between two different firmness types: Luxury Plush on one side, Gentle Firm on the other. Try both and see which you prefer, or change over time as your needs evolve.
If you’re struggling to get comfortable and stay in deep REM sleep, it may be that your mattress is insufficient for your body type. We all deserve to feel supported while sleeping, and the Saatva HD is a luxury hybrid innerspring for bigger bodies.
A hand-tufted three-inch pillow top, memory foam, latex foam and extra-durable, responsive coils combine to make the perfect foundation for restorative sleep. A medium level of firmness is especially designed for plus-size sleepers, regardless of sleeping position.
Do your research to find the option that will ensure peak sleep — and then rest assured that no matter what you choose, a Saatva Organic Mattress Pad will ensure it looks like new for years to come.
