Written by Saatva Editorial Team
Key Takeaways:
- The Saatva Graphite Memory Foam Mattress Topper has a contouring memory foam feel, while the Saatva Down-Topped Featherbed Mattress Topper feels softer and fluffier like a hotel bed.
- Both toppers are 3” thick and include free shipping and a 180-night home trial, but the graphite topper uses cooling memory foam while the featherbed topper uses breathable down and feathers.
- The graphite topper is a more affordable option focused on pressure relief and support, while the featherbed topper is a more luxurious plush option at a higher price point.

Construction
The core of the topper is high-quality memory foam, which has a body-hugging feel. It’s infused with graphite, a material known for its ability to dissipate heat. Graphite works by drawing heat away from the body, promoting a cooler, more comfortable sleep environment. The foam is encased in a breathable organic cotton cover that promotes airflow and contributes to the moisture-wicking properties of the topper. The cover is treated with Guardin™, a botanical antimicrobial solution designed to inhibit the growth of bacteria, mold, and mildew.
The topper contains supportive feather fill in the bottom chamber and light and plush 550 fill-power duck down in the top chamber. The expertly tailored dual chamber construction with baffle box design helps keep the topper’s fill evenly distributed. The quilted sateen cotton cover helps prevent shedding.
Materials
In the Saatva Graphite Memory Foam Mattress Topper, you’ll find graphite-infused memory foam, polyurethane foam, and an organic cotton blend cover. The foams are CertiPUR-US certified.
In the Saatva Down-Topped Featherbed Mattress Topper, you’ll find duck feathers and down that are Responsible Down Standard (RDS)-certified. This is a voluntary standard that incentivizes the down and feather industry to treat ducks and geese more humanely. Down and feathers that hold the RDS certification have been audited by a professional, third-party certification body at each stage in the supply chain starting at the farm. The topper’s cover is made from quilted down-proof 300-thread count sateen cotton.
