Written by Saatva Editorial Team
Key Takeaways:
- The Saatva Natural Latex Mattress Topper has a responsive, supportive latex feel, while the Saatva Down-Topped Featherbed Mattress Topper has a softer, fluffier hotel-style feel.
- Both toppers include free shipping and a 180-night home trial, but the latex topper uses breathable perforated latex while the featherbed topper uses airy down and feather fill with a sateen cotton cover.
- The natural latex topper is better for durable support and responsiveness, while the down-topped featherbed topper is designed for ultra-plush comfort and a more luxurious sleep feel.

Construction
The core of the topper is natural latex, which is the most durable type of mattress foam on the market. It’s also more breathable than synthetic foams. The latex in the topper is perforated for added breathability. The latex foam is encased in a breathable organic cotton cover that promotes airflow. 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 Natural Latex Mattress Topper, you’ll find natural latex foam and an organic cotton blend cover.
The latex foam is eco-INSTITUT® certified and Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) 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.
