Back Support
The Lumbar Zone® PCM Matrix is positioned at the center third of the mattress (where most of your body weight lies) to regulate temperature, absorb and disperse excess body heat, and allow for optimal support where you need it most.
The ergonomic 5-zone latex, part of our Lumbar Zone® Technology, and our Lumbar Zone® Active Spinal Wire provide enhanced support of the lumbar spine.
Cooling Features
The cover is made with breathable organic cotton that sleeps cool. The CoolVent™ System contains a phase change material that absorbs and disperses excess body heat, while the gel-infused 4-lb. memory foam has airflow channels for added breathability.
The cover is made with breathable organic cotton that sleeps cool. Additionally, natural latex is highly breathable.
Firmness Options
The Contour5 comes in two firmnesses: Medium and Firm. Medium hugs the body without letting your hips sink in too deeply. It’s ideal for side sleepers but also great for back and combination sleepers and couples with different preferences. Firm has less of a body-hugging feel and more responsiveness than Medium. It’s ideal for back and stomach sleepers, those who need or prefer a firm mattress, and heavier sleepers who weigh over 230 pounds.
The Saatva HD comes in one firmness: Medium-Firm. This is ideal for couples with different preferences and suits all sleep styles. However, it’s best suited for back and stomach sleepers.
