Saatva HD Mattress Review

About Saatva HD

There simply aren’t a lot of mattress options out there for bigger body types (300+ pounds). Most traditional beds are not firm enough, or strong enough to provide the support heavier sleepers need. And most are not built to hold their shape over time under that weight.

Saatva HD is a luxury innerspring hybrid mattress specifically designed for heavier-weight sleepers. If you’re on the heavier side and find your mattress sagging, or you’ve simply struggled to find a bed that is supportive and durable enough, then the Saatva HD is for you.

At 15.5 inches thick, the Saatva HD has an extra-strength, reinforced steel coil system and medium-firm comfort level, which makes it the perfect fit for anyone over 300 pounds, whether you like to sleep on your side, stomach or back.

Highlights

Handcrafted in the US
Made from eco-friendly materials
15.5-inch thick mattress

120-day home trial
20-year warranty
FREE white glove delivery

Pros and Cons

Talalay latex support layer and 12.5-gauge steel coils make the HD extremely durable.
Custom-designed, ultra-strong foundations available.
Hand-tufted top layer helps eliminate body impressions and keeps comfort layers in place.
Free 120-night sleep trial, flexible warranty, and strong customer service that includes complimentary white glove delivery and removal of your old mattress.

It’s a heavy-duty mattress which makes it, well… heavy, and somewhat difficult to move.
High-durability foundations and metal frame cost a bit more, but do add great value.

METRICS	RATING	DETAILS
Durability	EXCELLENT	The Saatva HD is a brand new mattress so we can’t say exactly how long it should last. But it is clear that it is built to do so. Its heavy-duty steel coil system is 25% stronger than the industry standard.
Edge Support	EXCELLENT	The HD has 1.8 density foam rails on its perimeter, which helps the mattress maintain its shape better at its edge. This supportiveness also makes it easier to get in and out of bed.
Huggability	GREAT	HD’s 12.5-gauge steel coils give bigger-body sleepers the support they need for optimal spinal alignment. The 5-Zone Talalay latex layer, spinal zone support and 5-lb memory foam help provide lumbar support and relieve pressure on the shoulders and hips.
Sex	GREAT	The coil system and latex component both give the HD great bounce and responsiveness even under heavier weight, making it great for the kind of movement many couples enjoy.
Motion Isolation	GOOD	Most innersprings are not great at isolating motion, but Saatva HD’s 5-Zone Talalay latex support layer and 5-pound memory foam help minimize the transfer of motion across its surface.
Odor	GOOD	The foam layers of the HD mattress do let off some new-mattress smell, but it dissipates within a few hours.
Temperature	GOOD	If you’re a heavier person who also sleeps hot, you’ll be happy to know that the HD sleeps impressively cool thanks to its open-air coil system, which promotes airflow through the mattress.
Noise	GOOD	Despite the coil structure, the HD is very quiet. The organic cotton pillow top, latex and memory foam layers smother nearly all noise coming from the interior coils.

Is Saatva HD the right mattress for me?

Judging the characteristics of a mattress is a subjective process – everyone has a different sleeping experience on different mattresses and their own interpretation of firmness, support, etc. Your own comfort and spinal support are perhaps the most critical things you need to consider when choosing the right mattress for you.

The Saatva HD is a fantastic option for anyone between 300 and 500 pounds. With HD you get unparalleled support, spinal alignment and pressure relief from the ultra-strong inner coil system, 5-Zone latex comfort, and memory foam layers, as well as the wood-slat foundation if you choose to add it. We haven’t found a better bed for bigger-bodied people than the Saatva HD. And even you’re a just a partner of a heavier sleeper and not heavier yourself, you’ll still sleep well on the medium-firm HD.

You’ll love the Saatva HD if… You’re over 300 pounds and want a heavy-duty mattress specifically engineered for bigger people. You want luxury comfort and truly sufficient support. You tend to sleep hot and would like a breathable mattress. You experience back, shoulder or hip pain.

Layers & Construction

Organic cotton pillow top
Talalay latex with 5-zone support
Contouring foam comfort layers

Firmness

The HD is a medium firm mattress (about 7-8 on firmness scale from 1-10). It is firm enough and strong enough to meet the sleep needs and preferences of someone 300-500 pounds. It’s memory foam and latex layers also make it soft enough for light- and medium-weight sleepers who may share a bed with a heavier partner.

Sizing & Pricing

The HD mattress is available in Twin, Twin-XL, Full, Queen, King and California King at the prices below.

High-durability foundations specifically designed to pair with the HD mattress are available in two different heights–4.75 inches and 8.75 inches, for those who like a taller bed. A 7.5-inch metal frame is also optional.

Bottom Line

If you’re 300+ pounds, you simply can’t rely on a standard mattress to deliver the support and comfort you need to get a great night’s sleep. You need a highly-supportive, highly-durable mattress. And if you want one that doesn’t miss a beat when it comes to luxurious comfort, you can’t do any better than the Saatva HD. Finally, with Saatva, you know you’re not only getting a great value, but you’re also getting best-in-class customer service–a 120-day home trial, free white glove delivery and free mattress removal. There’s really no risk in giving the HD a shot. We’re sure you won’t regret it.

Sleep Number Mattress Review

About Sleep Number

Sleep Number has been the major name in air beds for years. Today, they make a total of nine mattresses across three different collections–Classic, Performance and Innovation series–which range from somewhat affordable to very pricey.

Like many competing air beds, Sleep Number mattresses have separate air chambers on each side of the bed which makes them great for people who may prefer a different level of firmness than their partner. This also makes them very good at motion isolation.

Sleep Number beds have up to 20 firmness setting on some models. The firmness can either be manually adjusted via remote control or will automatically adjust themselves throughout the night in the case of 360 Smart Bed models.

We took a look at the Sleep Number i8 360 Smart Bed. Read on for more about this model and Sleep Number mattresses in general.

Highlights

Adjustable firmness/comfort (20 settings)
Adjustable head and foot positions (w/adjustable base)

25-year warranty (2 years of full coverage)
100-night free sleep trial

Pros

Separate air chambers on each side of bed make for great motion isolation.
Good for back pain.
Sleep Tracking Technology.
Many different mattress options.

Cons

Firmness adjustment may require a period of experimentation to find the right setting for you.
Bed may sleep too cool for some.
High in price.
Only 2 years of full coverage on warranty.
Additional delivery costs.

METRICS	RATING	DETAILS
Motion Isolation	GREAT	With two different air chambers for each side of the bed, Sleep Number mattresses are very good at isolating motion.
Odor	GREAT	There is limited off-gassing with Sleep Number innovation series. Any new-bed smells will dissipate quickly.
Huggability	GOOD	The range of 20 firmness settings allows for a level of conforming that suits most sleep types. The i8 has a thicker foam comfort layer than the classic and performance series mattresses, which makes for more of a hugging feel.
Temperature	GOOD	Sleep Number beds do a good job of not retaining heat, which can be great for anyone who tends to sleep hot. Some sleepers have found that the Sleep Number sleeps too cool for them.
Durability	AVERAGE	With air beds, there’s always the risk that parts wear down or break. Parts can be replaced (Sleep Number comes with a 25-year warranty, but only 2 years of full coverage). Sleep Number mattresses have also been reported to have sub-par air retention in some cases.
Edge Support	AVERAGE	Edge Support on Sleep Number is good, especially with firmer settings.
Sex	AVERAGE	Air beds are not known for their responsiveness, but increasing the amount of air inside can increase their bounce. The gap in the middle, between the air chambers, can also be a hindrance.
Noise	AVERAGE	Adjusting the firmness settings can be quite noisy, but once you’re locked in the bed is quiet.

Is the Sleep Number i8 the right mattress for me?

Judging the characteristics of a mattress is a subjective process – everyone has a different sleeping experience on different mattresses and their own interpretation of firmness, support, etc. Your own comfort and support are perhaps the most critical things you need to consider when choosing the right mattress for you.

The major plus with air beds is that you can adjust the firmness of the mattress to fit your personal ideal firmness and support. That ability to customize the sleep experience makes Sleep Number good for a variety of different sleep types. Heavyweight sleepers may find that the 20 firmness settings of Sleep Number’s innovation series beds don’t reach the level of firmness they require. Couples will enjoy having separate air chambers on each side of the bed.

You’ll enjoy Sleep Number if…
Yous sleep in different positions and want to be able to vary the firmness and support of your bed.
You or your partner tends to move a lot while sleeping and you want to limit that disturbance.
You tend to sleep hot.
If you sleep with a partner and want a mattress that can be customized to fit each of your personal needs and sleep styles.

Layers & Construction

1. Top cover layer made of polyester and polypropylene
2. Polyfoam comfort layer (6 inches on i8 smart bed)
3. Dual air chambers (for Queen size and above)

Firmness

Each series of Sleep Number gives you a different firmness range. The innovation series (which includes the i8) can range from about a 3 on the firmness scale (from 1 to 10), to about a 6, when you adjust between the 20 firmness settings.

Sizing & Pricing

The Sleep Number i8 comes in Twin XL, Full, Queen, King, and California King at the prices below. The remote control costs an additional $39.

Sleep Number mattresses that are Queen size and up have two air chambers (one for each side of the bed).

If you opt for an adjustable base, you have three different “Flexfit” options to choose from, which give you different head and foot position capabilities.

SIZE	DIMENSIONS	PRICES ^{(*without adjustable base)}	HEIGHT
Twin XL	38” x 80”	$2,749	12 inches
Full	54” x 75”	$3,024	12 inches
Queen	60” x 80”	$3,199	12 inches
King	76” x 80”	$3,899	12 inches
California King	72” x 84”	$3,899	12 inches

Trial & Warranty

Sleep Number offers a 100-night free sleep trial, but requires a 30-night break-in period. Sleep Number beds also come with a 25-year warranty and two years of full coverage.

Delivery and Customer Service

You can order a Sleep Number online or over the phone, or visit a retail location, but one downside is the added charge of $199 for home delivery and setup of the bed. There are competing air bed brands that will do that for free.

Bottom Line

Air beds are really great for the ability they give you to adjust firmness and support to fit your exact needs. What’s more, partners can adjust their side individually. Quality air beds, like the Sleep Number i8 are also very expensive. There are comparable air beds on the market that are less expensive, give you a wider range of firmness settings, and don’t charge extra for delivery, setup and the remote control. If you think an air bed is the right choice for you, here are our recommendations.

Solaire Mattress Review

About Solaire

Solaire is a brand new adjustable air bed from Saatva. If you like to sleep in different positions or have had trouble settling on the right mattress firmness for you, the Solaire may be the answer.

With Solaire, you can choose between 50 different firmness settings, by controlling the amount of air inside its air chambers via remote control. In this way, the Solaire can be customized to suit the sleep needs and preferences of just about any sleeper.

With a significant mechanical component, air beds can break down and some will lose air during the night. Not so with Solaire. It’s made from high-quality materials and is impressively engineered. And, as a Saatva product, the Solaire upholds the company’s high standards of eco-friendly design and construction.

Read the full review below for more on our top-rated air bed.

Highlights

Adjustable firmness/comfort (50 settings)

Adjustable head and foot positions (w/Lineal Base)

25-year warranty and 5 years of full coverage

Free white-glove delivery and setup

120-night free sleep trial

Pros and Cons

Great for pain relief and elimination of pressure points on the body.
Dual air chambers and comfort layers make for great motion isolation
Made with high-quality, eco-friendly materials.
More affordable than its competition.
Exceptional customer service (free white-glove delivery, long sleep trial, extensive warranty)

Almost too customizable. There is a period of experimentation required to get the perfect setting for you.
Not a bed-in-a-box service
Despite being less expensive than the competition, it is an air bed and they are pricey.

METRICS	RATING	DETAILS
Motion Isolation	EXCELLENT	The Solaire has different air chambers for each side of the bed, which makes for really great motion isolation. With two comfort layers of latex and foam on top of the dual chambers, you’ll feel almost no motion coming from the other side of the bed.
Huggability	EXCELLENT	The organic cotton pillow top, Talalay latex and gel-infused memory foam all give the Solaire great conforming ability. Adjusting the firmness gives you custom-tailored support and pressure relief.
Durability	GREAT	Air beds are built to last as long as any traditional mattress, but there’s always the risk that parts wear down or break. Parts can be replaced, which extends the life of the mattress. Solaire comes with the best warranty you can find (25 years with 5 years of full coverage).
Edge Support	GREAT	Solaire’s edge enclosure system houses the air chambers and reinforces the perimeter of the mattress, giving you great support all the way to the edges of the bed.
Temperature	GREAT	The organic cotton cover and latex layer of the Solaire make it surprisingly breathable. This air bed does a very good job of keeping you cool while you sleep.
Odor	GOOD	As with any new bed, some off-gassing smells are to be expected, but Solaire does not come compressed, so initial smells are rather insignificant and fade quickly.
Sex	GOOD	Air beds are not known for their responsiveness, but increasing the amount of air inside the Solaire increases its bounce, as does its latex comfort layer. Most couples will be happy with Solaire in this category.
Noise	AVERAGE	Like any air bed, the Solaire makes some noise when you fill or empty the air chambers. Luckily, it’s not disturbing and you won’t be making adjustments while you sleep.

Is Solaire the right mattress for me?

Judging the characteristics of a mattress is a subjective process – everyone has a different sleeping experience on different mattresses and their own interpretation of firmness, support, etc. Your own comfort and support are perhaps the most critical things you need to consider when choosing the right mattress for you.

The great thing about Solaire is that your personal ideal firmness and support can be taken into consideration every single night, when you choose between any one of the 50 settings the mattress provides. That level of customization makes the air bed great for pretty much anyone. If you’re a light-weight or side sleeper who likes more contouring to relieve pressure on your joints, simply lower the firmness setting. If you’re a heavier-weight or stomach or back sleeper who needs more support to keep your spine in alignment, crank up the firmness.

Layers & Construction

Organic cotton pillow top
5-zone, hypoallergenic Talalay latex
Gel-infused memory foam
Moisture barrier
Dual air chambers
Power Edge enclosure for reinforced support

Firmness (1 Soft – 10 Firm)

The Solaire offers 50 firmness settings to choose from, which range from about a 3 on the firmness scale from 1 to 10, all the way up to about an 8. For comparison, the popular Sleep Number air beds give you 20 firmness settings.

Sizing & Pricing

The Solaire comes in Twin XL, Full, Queen, UpperFlex Queen, King, UpperFlex King, Split King and California King at the prices below.

Solaire mattresses that are Queen size and up have two air chambers (one for each side of the bed).

UpperFlex models are split at the head of the mattress, so you can adjust the incline of the head position, if you opt for the Lineal Adjustable Base. The Split King is essentially two separate mattresses side by side, which allows you to adjust the head and foot positions on both sides of the bed, if you have the Lineal Adjustable Base.

SIZE	DIMENSIONS	HEIGHT	PRICES	w/ Foundation	w/ Lineal Base
Twin XL	38”W x 80”L	13”	$1,995	$2,154	$3,244
Full	54”W x 75”L	13”	$2,595	$2,804	$3,894
Queen	60”W x 80”L	13”	$2,695	$2,954	$4,094
UpperFlex Queen	60”W x 80”L	13”	$3,295	$3,554	$5,693
King	76”W x 80”L	13”	$3,195	$3,513	$5,693
Split King	76”W x 80”L	13”	$3,895	$4,213	$6,393
UpperFlex King	76”W x 80”L	13”	$3,895	$4,213	$6,393
California King	72”W x 84”L	13”	$3,195	$3,513	$5,693

Trial & Warranty

Saatva offers a 120-night free sleep trial for Solaire. The air bed also comes with a best-in-class warranty: 25 years with an unprecedented five years of full coverage. Five years of full coverage is the most we’ve seen on offer with any air bed.

Delivery and Customer Service

As with all Saatva mattresses, the Solaire comes with free white-glove delivery service, which includes setup of your new bed and the removal of your old one. This you won’t find with every air bed on the market, some charging one or two hundred dollars for the service.

Customizing and ordering a Solaire is extremely easy and an overall pleasant experience whether you choose to do it online or over the phone. You can speak with customer service representatives both through online live chat and phone support (both of which are 24/7) and you’ll find they are very friendly and knowledgeable.

Bottom Line

Air beds are expensive, but if you’re looking for the ultimate in luxury and precise, personalized comfort, Solaire is a great investment. You’ll get the exact comfort level you want at any given moment. More importantly, you get the exact support you need to relieve pain and get the best sleep possible.

Purple Mattress Review

About Purple

Purple burst on the scene in 2016 with the world’s first No Pressure™ mattress, made from a unique Hyper-Elastic Polymer™ of their own invention. Using this material has allowed them to make their mattresses both extremely comfortable and surprisingly affordable.

They now offer two different beds, The Original Purple mattress and the New Purple mattress. The Original is the less expensive option (but still outstanding in quality) and the New is a more luxurious hybrid. Both beds have Purple’s proprietary “Smart Comfort Grid,” which makes for excellent pressure relief and temperature control.

We love the Original as one of the best values at its price point and the New Purple as one of the top hybrids on the market. Read on for more on why these are two stand-out mattress options.

Highlights

Free shipping and returns
100-night free trial
10-year warranty

Great temperature control (sleeps very cool)
Available in multiple firmness levels and thicknesses (New Purple)

The Original Purple

METRICS	RATING	DETAILS
Noise	EXCELLENT	The Purple is as quiet as a mattress can be when you move around on it.
Temperature	GREAT	Purple’s open grid design provides great airflow through the mattress, which keeps you very cool while you sleep.
Motion Isolation	GREAT	Many customers who sleep with a partner on a Purple report little to no disturbance when there’s movement on the mattress.
Huggability	GREAT	The “pressure-releasing” material of Purple is designed to relieve pressure points and create optimal spinal alignment, and it is very effective at doing so.
Durability	GOOD	The Purple is made of a unique polymer foam that is promised to last for decades. However, the company has not been in business long enough to test whether that claim is true.
Odor	GOOD	As with most compressed beds, you can expect some off-gassing with the Purple, which should dissipate within a few hours.
Sex	AVERAGE	As a foam bed, the Purple has minimal bounce. Many couples might prefer a more responsive feel.
Edge Support	AVERAGE	Edge support is not Purple’s strongest suit, though it is on par with most foam beds.

The New Purple

METRICS	RATING	DETAILS
Temperature	EXCELLENT	New Purple’s open grid design does very well to promote airflow and dissipate body heat, so you stay cool while you sleep.
Motion Isolation	GREAT	The New Purple is up there with the very best when it comes to isolating motion. It’s very difficult to detect any motion coming from the other side of the bed, which makes for few disturbances during the night.
Huggability	GREAT	The smart comfort grid technology conforms very well to the contours of your body, relieving pressure while still providing great support to the spine.
Noise	GREAT	The New Purple is just as quiet as the original. Most sleepers report little to no noise from this bed.
Durability	GOOD	Hyper-elastic polymer combined with the individual responsive coil system makes the New Purple very durable. Given that this is a new product, there’s no telling exactly how long it should last.
Odor	GOOD	An insignificant amount of off-gassing is to be expected, as with any new mattress. It should dissipate within just a few hours.
Sex	GOOD	The New Purple is a very responsive hybrid mattress. Couples who like some bounce to their bed will be pleased.
Edge Support	GOOD	The New Purple’s reinforced perimeter make gives it very good edge support. Great for those who like to sleep closer to the edge of a mattress.

Is Original Purple or New Purple the right mattress for me?

Both the Original Purple and New Purple are excellent options if you’re looking for quality and value. If you’re on a budget the Original Purple will work very well for you, especially if you like the conforming feeling of a foam bed. If you’re willing to spend a bit more, the New Purple hybrid is the more luxurious of the two.

Both will serve the needs of back, stomach, side and combination sleepers. Lighter-weight sleepers who enjoy sleeping on their side may find the Original Purple to be on the firmer side. The New Purple, on the other hand, is available in multiple firmness options and thicknesses and so can be customized for your sleep style. The New Purple has great conforming to give you that sinking feeling that relieves pressure on the shoulders and hips, and the individual coil support to keep the spine in alignment.
We especially recommend the Original Purple and New Purple mattresses if you sleep with a partner. Both have great motion isolation. Also, if you tend to sleep hot. The open grid design of the comfort layer on both beds makes them extremely breathable and temperature neutral.

Layers & Construction

Original Purple
1. Responsive knit cover made of 29% Viscose, 67% Polyester, 4% Lycra
2. Comfort Core layer made of 2” Hyper-Elastic Polymer™ material in Smart Comfort Grid™
3. Middle layer: 3.5” 1.8 lbs density polyurethane foam – Certified by CertiPUR-US®

3. Middle layer: 7.5” responsive individual support coils
4. Base layer: 4” 2.0 lbs density polyurethane foam – Certified by CertiPUR-US®

Firmness (1 Soft – 10 Firm)

The Original Purple mattress is a medium/firm bed that’s about a 6.5 on a firmness scale from 1 to 10.

The New Purple is available in three different firmness levels which correspond to the three different thicknesses of the Smart Comfort Grid layer. The thicker that layer, the softer the mattress. The mattress with 4” Smart Comfort Grid is about a 4.5 on the firmness scale, with 3” Smart Comfort Grid about a 5.5, and with the 2” Smart Comfort Grid about a 6.5 (on par with the firmness of the Original Purple).

Trial & Warranty

All Purple mattresses come with a 100-night free trial and a 10-year warranty.

Delivery

The Original Purple mattress comes compressed in a box with free shipping. The New Purple does not come compressed in a box, but is hand-delivered via white glove delivery service, which includes setup and the removal of your old mattress. Both are available everywhere in the US and Canada.

Bottom Line

You can’t go wrong with either Purple mattress. The Original is among the best bed-in-a-box, foam mattress options on the market and a great value at only $999 for a Queen. The New Purple hybrid is comparable to high-quality luxury mattresses like Saatva and DreamCloud. Both are made with Purple’s patented hyper-elastic polymer that goes into the Smart Comfort Grid technology, providing exceptional pressure relief, support, airflow and motion isolation for a great night’s sleep.

Dreamcloud Mattress Review

About DreamCloud

A newcomer to the mattress space, DreamCloud was founded in 2017 and has its headquarters in New York. The DreamCloud mattress is a 15-inch luxury hybrid made with latex, memory foam, a unique coil technology and a tufted cashmere blend cover.

With an 8-layer construction, the DreamCloud is designed to offer impressive support, comfort and temperature control. A hand-tufted cashmere euro top and gel-infused memory foam give the DreamCloud great breathability, keeping you cool while you sleep, while the combination of dense memory foams, natural latex and a micro-coil system provide great spinal alignment for all different sleep types. This design makes for an overall medium/firm feel.

At 15”, it dwarfs its direct-to-consumer, bed-in-a-box competitors. You will not find another rolled/compressed mattress at that thickness. Its size, along with the quality materials that go into it, makes the DreamCloud a standout when it comes to offering luxury at an affordable price.

Highlights

Hand-tufted, luxury cashmere cover
15” thick, comes rolled/compressed for easy shipping
365-night free trial

Free shipping and returns
“Everlong” warranty

Pros and Cons

High-quality, luxury materials with the convenience of bed-in-a-box delivery.
Artisanal hand-tufting process shows dedication to craftsmanship.
8-layer system of premium foams, latex and coils.
Free 365-night sleep trial with a lifetime warranty and optional white glove delivery.

If you enjoy the feeling of sinking into your mattress, the firmer feel of DreamCloud may not be right for you.
Some may find 15” thickness to be bulky, rather than a testament to quality.

METRICS	RATING	DETAILS
Odor	EXCELLENT	The DreamCloud does let off some odor upon unboxing, but consistent with customer reports, we observed the smell dissipating within a day or so.
Temperature	GREAT	The DreamCloud is one of the cooler mattresses you can find. Its top layers (cashmere blend cover + gel-infused memory foam) make it extremely breathable without skimping on support.
Sex	GREAT	With latex and coils in its core, the DreamCloud has just the right amount of bounce and responsiveness to it.
Noise	GREAT	The spring coil system within the DreamCloud does not contribute any noise. This hybrid mattress is as silent as any memory foam bed.
Durability	GOOD	This hybrid mattress is made of several different materials and hasn’t been around long enough to determine if it can last as long as promised. However, a lifetime warranty shows DreamCloud is confident its mattress is built to last.
Motion Isolation	GOOD	The DreamCloud does very well when it comes to isolating motion on its surface. Nothing but good things have been reported by consumers who sleep with a partner.
Huggability	GOOD	Despite its top layer of hyper-soft, tufted cashmere, the DreamCloud has a firmer feel and thus does not contour to the body to the extent that many softer mattresses do. The “Bestrest” coil structure provides excellent support, but not much of a sinking-in feeling.
Edge Support	AVERAGE	A foam-encased outer edge helps provide edge support, but this is not the mattress’ strongest feature.

Is DreamCloud The Right Mattress For Me?

DreamCloud is a great mattress option. Most if not all sleep types will have their needs met by this bed. Back and stomach sleepers will enjoy the supportiveness of the DreamCloud. Side sleepers will find the contouring of the DreamCloud to be satisfactory, offering great support, spinal alignment, and pressure relief, but those who like the feeling of really sinking into their bed may find the DreamCloud to be too firm. This firmness also makes the DreamCloud especially great for heavier-set sleepers or anyone who enjoys the feeling of floating on, rather than sinking into their bed.

Layers & Construction

“Truetufted” cashmere blend top
Gel-infused memory foam
Super-soft quilted memory foam
Supreme natural latex

Super dense memory foam
Patent-pending “Bestrest” coils

Firmness (1 Soft – 10 Firm)

The DreamCloud comes in only one firmness option, which we rank at about a 6-7 on the firmness scale.

Delivery

DreamCloud offers free shipping and returns, as well as optional white glove delivery service that includes the removal of your old mattress. Also, if you move to a new home anytime during the life of your mattress, DreamCloud will cover the cost of having it moved.

Customer Service

Aside from optional white glove delivery, the DreamCloud comes with a few other customer service perks. First, you’ll get a professional cleaning ($300 value) after one year of ownership. Then, after five years of ownership, if your mattress requires refurbishing, DreamCloud will restore it to “like new” condition free of charge.

Bottom Line

At 15-inches thick, the DreamCloud is made from the kind of luxury materials you’d typically find in expensive retail mattresses, yet it comes conveniently compressed in a box, at a much cheaper price. Its cooling system will keep you from over-heating while you sleep, and the 8 layers of dense memory foam, latex core and “Bestrest” coils will provide an ideal combination of support and comfort. Finally, with a 365-night trial, you’ll have plenty of time to decide if the mattress is right for you (we’re confident you’ll love it!).

Nectar Mattress Review

About Nectar

Nectar Sleep sells a memory foam mattress made with surprisingly high-quality materials considering the low price point. The Nectar mattress comes compressed in a box, like many of its memory foam competitors, like Casper or Leesa, which makes for very easy delivery and set up.

The Nectar demonstrates very impressive contouring. Made with a Tencel cooling cover, 5 layers of premium memory foam, and multiple contouring gel layers, the mattress not only does a great job of hugging the body, it has great breathability. As a result, it offers both softness and support, and sleeps substantially cooler than a lot of memory foam beds out there.

Like most memory foam beds, it is very durable and should last you at least 7-8 years. At such a low price, the Nectar is extremely affordable for a memory foam bed, and you may decide that paying more for another bed-in-a-box alternative is not worth it.

Nectar has a great Side Sleeper Guide on their site which will help determine if Nectar is the right choice for you. And read on for our take on the Nectar mattress.

Highlights

Free shipping and returns
CertiPUR-US certified
365-night trial period

Built with two layers of Gel Memory Foam
11″ thick mattress
Forever warranty

Pros

Good contouring/hugging and motion isolation.
More affordable than its competition.
Little-to-no noise when bearing movement.
365-night trial and lifetime warranty.

Cons

Average edge support associated with most memory foam mattresses.
Some customer service-related problems have been reported, but are not the norm.

METRICS	RATING	DETAILS
Noise	EXCELLENT	The Nectar makes essentially no noise at all when you apply pressure or move around on it.
Durability	GREAT	The density of each foam layer of the Nectar really holds up over time. It is just as durable, if not more durable than your typical memory foam bed.
Huggability	GREAT	The multiple layers of foam in the Nectar make it very good at conforming to a sleeper’s body, which can be great for relieving pressure on various parts of the body and providing pain relief to those areas.
Motion Isolation	GREAT	As with most memory foams, Nectar does a great job of absorbing movement, which makes it very good at preventing your or your partner’s movements from disturbing one another.
Temperature	GOOD	Like pretty much all memory foam beds, Nectar retains heat/sleeps pretty hot. However, the tencel cover and gel layer make the Nectar more breathable, and therefore slightly cooler than many memory foam mattresses.
Edge Support	GOOD	The Nectar has slightly better edge support than many memory foams, especially at such a low price range, due to its dense foam.
Odor	AVERAGE	Many customers report significant off-gassing smells from the Nectar and most every memory foam bed, especially those that come vacuum sealed. The smell should fade away within a few days.
Sex	AVERAGE	Most memory foam beds may not have the bounce and responsiveness that some couples find essential for sex. The Nectar mattress has very little bounce.

Is Nectar the right mattress for me?

Judging the characteristics of a mattress is a subjective process – everyone has a different sleeping experience on different mattresses and their own interpretation of firmness, support, etc. Your own comfort and support are perhaps the most critical things you need to consider when choosing the right mattress for you.

We think the Nectar mattress should provide an enjoyable sleep experience for people with any sleeping style. Whether you are a side, back, stomach or combination sleeper, your needs will likely be met by the Nectar. The Nectar is a medium to firm, supportive memory foam and so should be especially suited for sleepers who are on the heavier side and who like sleeping on their back.

You’ll enjoy Nector if…
You’re all about memory foam beds, but don’t want to sink into your mattress too much.
You want contouring and pressure relief to your back, neck and shoulders.
You sleep with a partner and don’t want to be disturbed by their movement, or disturb them with your movement.
You don’t mind the warmness of memory foam beds, but would like one on the cooler end of the spectrum.

Layers & Construction

1. Tencel cooling cover
2. Quilted gel memory foam
3. Gel memory foam
4. Adaptive hi-core memory foam
5. Breathable base layer

Firmness (1 Soft – 10 Firm)

5.5-7.5 (Just Right)

Sizing & Pricing

Nectar mattresses come in Twin, Twin XL, Full, Queen, King and California King at the following prices.

SIZE	DIMENSIONS	PRICES	HEIGHT
Twin	39” x 75”	$524	11 inches
Twin XL	39” x 80”	$594	11 inches
Full	54” x 75”	$724	11 inches
Queen	60” x 80”	$824	11 inches
King	76” x 80”	$1,024	11 inches
California King	72” x 84”	$1,024	11 inches

Trial & Warranty

Nectar offers a 365-night trial. Their warranty is good for life, but it is only free for 10 years, after which the customer is responsible for a transportation cost of $50 each way.

Delivery

Nectar mattresses come compressed and vacuum sealed. They will be delivered free to the 48 mainland states, and fees apply to Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico. You can also opt to pay $149.00 for white glove delivery, and for another $20.00 ($169.00 total), Nectar will remove your old mattress for you.

Bottom Line

Nectar is relatively low cost for a memory foam bed. It’s priced considerably lower than competitors like Tuft & Needle, Casper and Leesa, but is not at all lacking in quality materials and construction. If you are in search of a great mattress that is inexpensive, this is a great choice for you. With unmatched quality at this price, the Nectar is truly an amazing value, which is why it’s #2 on our list of memory foam beds! If you’d rather spring for a more luxurious memory foam mattress that costs a bit more, it doesn’t get any better than the Loom & Leaf.

Avocado Green Mattress Review

About The Avacado Green Mattress

The Avocado Green Mattress was produced in 2015 in Hoboken, NJ, handmade in California. The goal of Avacado is simple; to make a mattress that is non-toxic, with organic materials at an affordable price.

They do not use petroleum-based polyurethane, toxic flame retardants, or hazardous pesticides. Their mattresses are Greenguard Gold certified. This means the substances are examined for volatile organic compounds, formaldehyde, and phthalates, by a third party.

A bunch of effort and energy went toward the manufacturing process of this eco-friendly mattress type.

And Avocado displays confidence in what they made. So much so that they have a solid return policy by offering a 100-night sleep trial. Meaning you get about three months to test it. They want you to be satisfied. So if you’re unhappy, Avocado will work with you. They will either pick it up or arrange a donation and provide you with a full refund.

The organic mattress comes in a non-pillow-top alternative that is a medium firmness. The Avocado mattress also interests lighter people or sleepers who simply like a soft feel.

The firmer version could be too solid for some sleepers. Nevertheless, it does still form around pressure points properly. Meanwhile, the pillow-top option is particularly effective for side sleepers who suffer from shoulder or hip problems.

What Type of Sleeper Is Best Suited for an Avocado Mattress?

Based on feedback from customers, Avocado Green mattresses earned the following ratings among sleepers of various sizes and favored sleep habits. It should be noted that these ratings are subjective and everyone has differing experiences. Sleeper spinal support and comfort are the most significant determinants when selecting a bed.

Because the bed is made of 100% GOLS organic certified latex, the regular model is generally more responsive and firmer than conventional memory foam. Read about why Avocado chooses to use Dunlop Latex over Talalay.

Some sleepers state that the feeling of the regular version is more like drifting on a cloud. You feel like you’re above the mattress more than cradled in it, which is great for spine support.

However, if you’re looking for something to give that hug feeling then you might consider the plush model. One thing that you should note is that the pillow top costs more. This is expected though since it’s extra material that they’re going to be shipping to you. Besides, it’s made of very high quality and eco-friendly materials, just like the standard mattress.

Free Delivery – Right to Your Door

Avocado Green offers free shipping on all sizes. It arrives in a box and is delivered right to you, then you can set it up by yourself. The only exemption to this is if you order their Queen pillow-top or larger. For these orders, Avocado will ship these with their White Glove Curbside service. Though that doesn’t include any set-up it’s still a great perk. If you do want to take advantage of their optional White Glove In-Home Delivery, which does include setting up your new Avocado mattress in your home and optionally taking away your old one, the service will be an extra $199.

Normally, you just need to carry the box to your bedroom, pull it out, and lay it down. The mattress will then begin to take on air, and after a few hours, it will be ready. Because most of the size is in the coils, it shapes pretty fast.

Even after it has relaxed it is very simple to move around. It has two sturdy handles on both sides, making it easy to modify or even move to a different room.

Approved For Serious People – Utilizing Only Natural Materials

The Avocado Green is a luxurious product at a fabulous price. Which is why it is one of our Top Mattress. However, we particularly recommend it to people who want an eco-friendly option.

Avocado is recognized for its philanthropic efforts and is a very honest company that treats its customers, and the planet well. Learn more about the different ways Avocado is helping our planet by reading about how they offset their carbon emissions, their involvement as members of 1% for the Planet, or just their all-around eco-conscious mindset.

If you desire an environmentally friendly option then do not overlook the Avocado.

Eight Mattress Review

About Eight

Founded in 2014 and based in New York City, Eight Sleep was named by Fast Company as one of the Most Innovative Companies of 2018. Eight positions itself as the world’s first sleep fitness company–using cutting-edge technology that’s specifically designed to help people achieve optimal sleep fitness. They’re doing it with two revolutionary mattress options: the Smart Bed and the brand new Pod. In this review, we’ll be focusing on The Pod, which is any technology lover’s dream bed. The Pod combines dynamic temperature regulation, biometric tracking, smart home integrations, and AI sleep coaching to deliver a revolutionary mattress that really enhances the sleep experience. Read on for deeper dive into what that all means.

Highlights

Active cooling and heating (Dynamic Temperature)
Biometric sleep tracking with an accompanying app
Connects to smart home devices, like Amazon Alexa
Thermo alarm wake-up system
Artificially intelligent sleep coach

The Technology

The Pod is certainly the most teched-out mattress you’ll find on the market, and all of the advances that have gone into it are specifically designed to improve your sleep health and overall wellness. If you’re someone who is passionate about health and wellness and geeks out on the latest innovations, look no further than the Pod.

Temperature Control
The Pod’s most impressive and beneficial feature Eight calls “dynamic temperature.” Using artificial intelligence that learns your sleep habits, the Pod can adjust its temperature automatically according to your circadian cycle to keep you cool throughout the night. A cooler sleep environment helps you fall asleep faster and stay in deeper sleep for longer. Dynamic temperature from the Pod allows it to react to the sleeper during the night, so they’re never too hot or too cold. The temperature of the bed can also be adjusted manually (between 55 and 115 degrees Fahrenheit).

You can also use the dynamic temperature feature to wake you up in the morning, with the Pod’s thermo alarm. The thermo alarm allows you to wake up more naturally (without a noisy alarm, and without disturbing your partner) by gradually cooling the bed as your wake-up time approaches. Dynamic temperature also works independently on each side of the bed, so it can perfectly support each partner’s unique needs.

Biometric Tracking
Eight’s artificial intelligence also tracks and monitors your sleep health. An AI-powered sleep coach analyzes more than a dozen physiological and environmental factors captured by the Pod’s advanced biometric tracking, like your stages of sleep, your heart rate, and even your breathing. It shares insights and personalized sleep tips to help you make progress over time. All this and more can be accessed and controlled through the accompanying app. The Pod’s biometric tracking also works independently on each side of the bed to cater to each individual sleeper.

Smart Home Integration
The Pod also integrates easily with your smart home. You’ll be able to connect just about any WiFi-enabled device, like Nest, Philip Hue Lights or Amazon Alexa, and manage them with your phone or tablet.

METRICS	RATING	DETAILS
Temperature	EXCELLENT	This is where the Pod truly stands out. No other mattress offers the same level of temperature control.
Motion Isolation	EXCELLENT	Four layers of adaptive foam make for excellent motion isolation. Also, the dynamic temperature and biometric tracking features work independently on each side of the bed.
Huggability	GREAT	The Pod’s adaptive foam provides great contouring and pressure relief for back, side and stomach sleepers.
Noise	GREAT	As a foam bed, the Pod is virtually noiseless. The electronic Hub, which controls the water flow to the bed is also very quiet and goes unnoticed.
Durability	GOOD	The foam mattress itself should last a long time. The Pod is a new product, so it is difficult to predict exactly how long its extensive technology will perform optimally.
Odor	GOOD	The bed comes compressed in a box, so you can expect some off-gassing that should dissipate within a few hours.
Sex	GOOD	Despite being made of foam, the Pod has good bounce to it, which many couples feel is important for sex.
Edge Support	AVERAGE	Typical of foam mattresses, the Pod has satisfactory edge support.

Layers & Construction

The Pod has four layers of premium, high-density foam and a proprietary Active Grid layer, which is where the tech magic happens, so to speak. The Active Grid is designed to relieve pressure points, regulate temperature and capture all that biometric data as you sleep.

External from the mattress itself is the Hub–a 16-pound, 16″ x 6″ x 15″ box that is the core of the temperature control system, circulating water through the Active Grid via a cylindrical tube which connects it to the mattress.

Firmness

The Pod has a medium firmness–about a 5-6 on a firmness scale from 1 to 10. Good for a majority of sleepers, regardless of size or type.

Trial & Warranty

For the Pod, Eight offers a 100-night free trial, along with a 1-year warranty for the tech components of the bed (Active Grid and Hub) and a 10-year warranty for the physical mattress (foam layers).

Sizes and Pricing

Available in Full, Queen, King and California King. No Twin or Twin-XL sizes. Pricing starts at $1,995 for a Full, $2,195 for Queen, $2,495 for King and California King. Financing is available.

SIZE	DIMENSIONS	PRICE	HEIGHT
Full	54” x 75”	$1,995	11 inches
Queen	60” x 80”	$2,195	11 inches
King	76” x 80”	$2,495	11 inches
California King	72” x 84”	$2,495	11 inches

Delivery

Free U.S. shipping to your door. Once you make your purchase you’ll receive your mattress within 7 to 10 business days plus free returns. The Pod compressed in two boxes–one with the foam bed and the other with the Hub and Active Grid.

Bottom Line

The Pod is a very exciting new innovation in the sleep space. It is a fantastic option for anyone who enjoys staying up on the latest technology and takes their sleep fitness (and overall wellness) seriously. With dynamic temperature, biometric tracking, AI-sleep coaching and more, the Pod has everything you need to take control of your overall sleep experience. Most of this is quite easy to use, but if you’re not someone who considers themselves at least moderately tech-savvy, then the Pod may be more than you need to get a great sleep.

Loom & Leaf Mattress Review

About Loom & Leaf Mattress

Loom & Leaf is Saatva’s luxury memory foam line and their answer to companies like Tempur-Pedic. Saatva’s direct-to-consumer model allows the company to sell the Loom & Leaf Mattress for 70% less than the cost of a Tempur-Pedic, and the mattress does not come in a box like many of its competitors’ products.

While it’s priced slightly higher than some of those bed-in-a-box competitors, like Casper, the Loom & Leaf mattress far exceeds them in quality, making it absolutely worth the extra cost.

The environmentally-conscious sleeper will be excited to learn about Loom & Leaf’s eco-friendly foams, organic covers and Saatva’s overall dedication to greener materials and production when it comes to Loom & Leaf.

Loom & Leaf is made with high-density memory foam with cooling gel in the top layer as well as a supporting base layer made of high-density polyfoam. Its construction makes it remarkably supportive and able to alleviate a lot of pressure mattresses can sometimes put on the body.

The Loom & Leaf comes in two different comfort levels, Relaxed Firm and Firm. Between those two options, just about all sleepers will have their preferences met. This mattress comes highly reviewed by its customers, and you can read on to see why.

Highlights

Handcrafted in the USA
Made from eco-friendly memory foam
Available in Relaxed Firm and Firm

Free white glove delivery & old mattress removal
15-year warranty
120-day trial

Learn More About Loom & Leaf

Pros and Cons

Comes in multiple levels of firmness.
Hugs your body’s natural alignment and relieves pressure.
Very impressive motion isolation capability and virtually no noise.
Free White Glove delivery and old mattress removal.

Sleeps cooler than most memory foams, but may be too hot for some.
Average Edge Support.
Memory foam can have odor, but Loom & Leaf’s is negligible.

METRICS	RATING	DETAILS
Motion Isolation	EXCELLENT	Loom & Leaf sleepers report virtually no motion transfer when a partner moves or gets in/out of bed.
Noise	EXCELLENT	The Loom & Leaf is pretty much completely silent when supporting transfer of movement.
Durability	GREAT	Loom & Leaf mattresses are relatively new, so it’s difficult to say exactly how long they will last. But the quality of the materials used in its construction suggests it will be as durable if not more durable than many of its memory foam competitors.
Huggability	GREAT	Loom & Leaf mattresses conform closely to sleeper’s bodies to align the spine, target pressure points, and alleviate pain symptoms. Two firmness levels are available to accommodate users with different preferences.
Odor	GOOD	A lot of memory foam mattresses have significant off-gassing smells, especially those that come compressed in a box. The Loom & Leaf does not come compressed in a box, and any smell it does emit at first should dissipate within hours. It is also worth noting that you’re not breathing in anything that can be harmful to you with Loom & Leaf–its eco-friendly foams are sourced with a commitment to quality, safety and the environment.
Sex	GOOD	Like all memory foam mattresses, the Loom & Leaf has very little if any bounce, which may or may not be what you and your partner enjoy.
Temperature	GOOD	Memory foam mattresses tend to sleep hot, but Loom & Leaf’s proprietary Spinal Zone Gel layer and breathable airflow channels keep you cooler than most memory foams, while providing optimal spinal support.
Edge Support	AVERAGE	Most memory foam beds have only decent edge support. Loom & Leaf is only slightly better than its competitors in this category.

Is the Loom & Leaf mattress right for me?

Judging the characteristics of a mattress is a subjective process – everyone has a different sleeping experience on different mattresses and their own interpretation of firmness, support, etc. Your own comfort and support are perhaps the most critical things you need to consider when choosing the right mattress for you.

The Loom & Leaf is a great mattress option for basically any sleeper, especially those who like the body-hugging feeling of a memory foam bed. The thick comfort layers that make up the Loom & Leaf conform to your body in a way that relieves pressure at points where many beds can cause pain. Side sleepers of any size and weight will love Loom & Leaf for the way it hugs your body while providing enough support so that you don’t sink into it too much.

With two firmness options, the Loom & Leaf also works perfectly for back and stomach sleepers of all sizes. People on the lighter side will likely find the Relaxed Firm more enjoyable.

Layers & Construction

Quilted organic cotton covering
A cooling layer made with Spinal Zone Gel
Eco-friendly, 5lb. premium foam
Multi-layer breathable support

Firmness (1 Soft – 10 Firm)

Loom & Leaf’s two different comfort levels, Relaxed Firm and Firm, have proven to meet the needs of most any sleeper. It does an excellent job serving the needs of side, back and stomach sleepers of all sizes.

Relaxed Firm (6) – Flagship comfort level — not too hard, not too soft, “just right” support. Great for people who sleep on side, back, or stomach, or who switch positions throughout the night. Firm (8) – For sleepers who prefer a very firm feel. Great for back or stomach sleepers.

Sizing and Pricing

The Loom & Leaf is available in Twin, Twin XL, Full, Queen, King and California King at the following prices.

SIZE	DIMENSIONS	PRICES	W/ FOUNDATION
Twin	38″W x 75″L	$749	$908
Twin XL	38″W x 80″L	$849	$1,008
Full	54″W x 75″L	$1,199	$1,408
Queen	60″W x 80″L	$1,299	$1,558
King	76″W x 80″L	$1,699	$2,017
Split King	76″W x 84″L	$1,698	$2,016
California King	72″W x 84″L	$1,699	$2,017

Delivery

The Loom & Leaf does not come compressed in a box like many of its competitors coming on the market. It will be hand-delivered, via free white glove delivery service that includes set up in the room of your choice, and the removal of your old mattress.

Bottom Line

If you like the body-hugging feel of a memory foam mattress, you should go with the Loom & Leaf. Customers report that the Loom & Leaf helps remove a lot of the neck, back and body pain they experience. And it rates highly in motion isolation, so it is especially great if you or your partner tend to move around a lot during the night. When compared to a leading mattress in the category, the Tempur-Pedic, Loom & Leaf has all of the quality at less than half the price! As far as memory foam mattresses go, you won’t find a more luxurious bed at a more affordable price than a Loom & Leaf.

Zenhaven Mattress Review

About Zenhaven Mattress

Another in the impressive lineup of Saatva brands, Zenhaven is a premium luxury latex mattress that we believe sets the benchmark for all latex mattresses on the market.

Flip it over and you have a Gentle Firm bed, about 7-8 on the firmness scale.

Zenhaven is made from 100% pure Talalay latex, which offers great support with a soft, cushiony feel. Whichever side you choose to lay on, you’re getting the same 5-zone comfort layer designed with varying densities, which provides exceptional pressure-free support and better spinal alignment.

METRICS	RATING	DETAILS
Noise	EXCELLENT	Zenhaven mattresses are extremely quiet, making little-to-no noise when you or your partner shift around on it.
Durability	GREAT	Zenhaven mattresses are new, so it’s hard to say exactly how long they will last. The quality of the latex used in its construction suggests it will be as durable if not more durable than many of its competitors and should last well over 7 years.
Huggability	GREAT	The Luxury Plush (medium/soft) side adheres to your shape perfectly to eliminate pressure points that can cause pain, while the Gentle Firm offers similar body-hugging with somewhat less of a sinking-in feel.
Motion Isolation	GREAT	Zenhaven mattresses absorb and minimize motion to a significant extent, and many owners report a reduced number of nighttime sleep disturbances.
Temperature	GREAT	Zenhaven’s latex has an open cell structure which allows for greater air circulation and counters body heat to promote cooler sleep. This natural airflow gives you a mattress that’s extremely breathable. Most customers agree it makes for a nice, cool sleeping experience.
Odor	GOOD	With a Zenhaven mattress, you’re not breathing in anything that can be harmful to you–in fact, the mattress actually has some impressive health benefits–nor do you have to live with any of those unpleasant smells that can linger on a new mattress. Any smell that does exist upon unpacking will dissipate within a couple of days.
Sex	GOOD	Responsiveness on most latex beds is somewhat lacking, but the Zenhaven (especially the Gentle Firm side) can be great for couples who like a little bounce.
Edge Support	AVERAGE	With latex beds, edge support can be lacking, but Zenhaven is about as good as they come in this department.

Is the Zenhaven Mattress right for me?

Judging the characteristics of a mattress is a subjective process – everyone has a different sleeping experience on different mattresses and their own interpretation of firmness, support, etc. Your own comfort and support are perhaps the most critical things you need to consider when choosing the right mattress for you.

Zenhaven sets the standard for all latex mattress, and can cater very well to all kinds of sleep types and weight/size profiles. If you sleep on your back, Zenhaven provides exceptional support. Stomach sleepers can count on great support for their lower back. If you sleep on your side and experience back, shoulder or hip pain, you will also be pleasantly surprised by the pressure relief Zenhaven offers.

Equally impressive and handy is the flippablilty factor of Zenhaven. You really do get two mattresses in one. If you decide that one side is not for you, you don’t have to go searching for a new mattress, just flip the one you have and it’s a different bed altogether.

Layers & Construction

Organic cotton cover
Moisture-wicking 100% organic New Zealand wool
Proprietary “5 Zone” latex comfort layer
Latex Support Core base layer

Firmness (1 Soft – 10 Firm)

Zenhaven mattresses come in two comfort levels, Luxury Plush and Gentle Firm. And guess what? You get both. Just flip the bed over for Luxury Plush or Gentle Firm. This innovation is a lifesaver when you sleep on the firm side and realize you prefer a softer feel (or vice versa).

Luxury Plush (4-5) – The more popular of the two, Luxury Plush conforms and supports your body effectively while maintaining a soft, luxurious feel.
Gentle Firm (7-8) – 18% firmer than Luxury Plush, for people who want a slightly firmer feel.

Delivery

Bottom Line

If you want a latex mattress, go with Zenhaven. It is one of the best – we think the best on the market. Latex is an expensive, durable material, so mattresses that are made of latex can be pricey. That makes Zenhaven a little pricier than some memory foams, but when compared to other latex options, there is no better value. The Zenhaven’s unique two-sided construction and commitment to American-made, healthy materials put this bed a cut above its competitors.

Saatva Mattress Review

Billed as America’s best-priced luxury mattress, winner of the 2018 Sustainability Award, and making the 2018 Inc 5000 list for their fourth consecutive year, Saatva is our top pick!

About Saatva

Founded in 2010, Saatva is a pioneer in the ecommerce mattress space. The company takes great pride in being able to sell luxury beds of the highest quality, at an affordable price, with outstanding customer service.

Because Saatva sells its products online, direct-to-consumer, it saves on expensive retail locations and sales commissions so they can pass those savings on to you. That’s how the company can afford to sell extremely high-quality mattresses at a much lower price than its luxury competitors.

An outstanding mattress choice for just about anyone, the Saatva comes in multiple sizes, heights, and firmness levels, so it can be tailored to fit a wide range of sleep types.

Saatva is committed to sustainability, using eco-friendly materials to make its mattress. The coil support network, cushioned feel and strengthened edge, uphold an even surface that is optimal for sleep alignment.

There are certainly innersprings on the market at a lower price, but they are not on par with Saatva when it comes to the quality of materials used to make them. See how you can customize a Saatva below, or read on for more on why it’s #1.

METRICS	RATING	DETAILS
Odor	EXCELLENT	The polyfoam and memory foam layers of the Saatva mattress do let off some smell, but customers say that the odors fade completely within a couple days of mattress delivery.
Durability	GREAT	The typical innerspring mattress will last around six or seven years and Saatva mattresses have proven to go that distance.
Temperature	GREAT	With a more traditional innerspring construction, Saatva mattresses are very cool compared to those that are made of foam and memory foam, which can sleep very hot. It’s one of the cooler mattresses you can find.
Sex	GREAT	The Saatva is very responsive and has a great bounce to it. The Plush Soft and Luxury Firm models edge out the Firm in this category.
Huggability	GOOD	Saatva’s construction of individually-wrapped coils and comfort layer of memory foam allow it to conform to your body very well. It also helps relieve pressure and pain better than most innerspring mattresses.
Edge Support	GOOD	Saatva offers dual perimeter edge support. Innerspring mattresses, in general, offer good edge support, and Saatva is among them. Sleepers say they experience an even, comfortable sleep on the edge of their mattresses, as well as good support when sitting on the edge of the bed.
Noise	GOOD	Very few Saatva customers complain about the noise of the mattress. We find no significant noise or sounds that are out of the ordinary for an innerspring bed.
Motion Isolation	AVERAGE	Most innerspring mattresses do not do a good job with motion isolation. Saatva performs a tad better than most in this regard but does not completely eliminate the transfer of motion across its surface.

Is Saatva the right mattress for me?

Saatva is a great mattress option for pretty much any sleeper. If you’re on the smaller/lighter side of the spectrum, the Firm and Luxury Firm models could be too hard, but you would have a great sleep experience with the Plush Soft. If you’re a heavier person, the Firm and Luxury Firm will offer the support you need for a great night sleep.
